Tom Hunt being an unpleasant virtue signalling idiot again. 15:19 - Jan 31 with 8144 viewsGunnsAirkick

Do the people of Ipswich genuinely like this guy? He seems like a really nasty piece of work who is more interested in stirring up this culture war nonsense.

https://tinyurl.com/y5kgylcp

I don't know Alasdair, but he comes across as a decent guy on Twitter and seems pretty centre-left to me (not anything like he's being portrayed by Hunt).

I've seen other veterans calling out the conditions in these centres being appalling getting abuse on Twitter. It doesn't mean they approve of the fires that were set, just stating that they're living in awful conditions. Desperate people do desperate things and dehumanising them isn't going to help the situation. Thank you for your service, but not if you're left-wing and don't agree with Conservative Party policy I guess?

I think you made me aware of Gummer setting up his 'Beer with Ben' thing, which, regardless of political affiliation, is what you would hope for from a local MP - getting out in the community, making yourself seen, being visible.

Obviously not all that many beers available at present, but has man Hunt done anything similar?


I had little time for Gummer's politics, but was impressed by his willingness to engage in debate with me one evening in The Dove. I also thought he was actually a good MP for Ipswich. Conversely Sandy Martin's politics were more appealing, but he wasn't a particularly effective MP for Ipswich. Hunt is dreadful though. If Labour select David Ellesmere as their candidate for the next election, then Hunt is a shoe in for another term.

Quite so. Interestingly, Paz is on record in this thread saying he is in favour of an anti-woke agenda, which means he approves being against people who are conscious of and oppose racism and social injustice.

Imagine being the kind of person who gleefully gloats about being anti-anti-racism and anti-anti-social injustice. I mean, you can basically cancel out the double negatives there and call it what it is: it's supporting racism and social injustice.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the problem here isn't my somewhat fruity language. After all, if you can't call a homophobic racist a dickhead, who can you call a dickhead?

Rather, the problem here is Paz's constant malodourous presence among us, and that's really the thing that needs to be rectified at some point.

What does that actually add up to though? He seems far more obsessed with writing anti-woke articles in the local press than actually doing the important bread and butter jobs as a local MP. I'm pretty sure both Gummer and Martin were far more active then he seems to be.

They were. Gets to the point where it doesn't even have to be about party politics — unlike the Tory and Labour MPs you mention, Hunt sees serving his constituents as a secondary consideration at best. They should be absolutely furious.

FWIW, Ipswich is 'swing' enough, and Hunt so pitifully, painfully, transparent, that I think any half-decent Labour candidate would stand a good chance of getting in next time round.

I'm not even sure if the Tories thought that Hunt would get in last time; that said, I don't think that Labour thought that Martin would get in, in 2017.

My concern would be that, as Blaggers mentions above, Labour put forward someone like Ellesmere, who will polarise opinion in the town.

Agree — a strong Labour candidate should see him flushed out of Ipswich for good. But it *has* to be the right person.

I've often thought that your average right wing law and order advocate is one speeding ticket away from going full Assault on Precinct 13.

They love a bit of stiff law and order - when it's aimed at the people they hate and not at them.

You clearly haven't left the thread alone either because you had the time to downvote my suggestion that Priti Patel, whose rhetoric inspired attacks on a law firm, might not be the most appropriate choice to run the Home Office.

I'm not sure if this has been posted but I think the following quote from a BBC article speaks volumes.

"These sites have accommodated soldiers and Army personnel in the past and it is wrong to say they are not good enough for asylum seekers who have chosen to leave a safe country, mostly France, to come and claim asylum in the UK."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-55877989

In other words "You think you have it good here? You're better off in France."

Were they good enough for the army before they were converted into concentration camps? Yes I guess, never heard anyone in the army complain although I expect given the choice they’d rather sleep elsewhere.

Are they good enough to imprison innocent people fleeing wars by risking their lives against their own will? Dunno, depends how much you want to paint yourself to look like a fascist I guess.

But Boris has and you like him. He is a racist, homophobic, misogynist.

Trump is the same and you like him too.

I think Tom Hunts comments are racist in that article as did the author of the second article posted.

As someone pointed out earlier people who like racists and I would add homophobes and misogynists are that too.

It's all about context. It's absolutely fine to demean people if (a) you wear a blue rosette, and (b) the person you demean isn't Paz or someone he cares about (essentially a few of his family and other right wing white people). If those two conditions are met then it's fine to use offensive language and treat people awfully, but if either condition is not met then the Context Clause cannot be invoked and you are a very unpleasant individual apparently.

I check in with Darren Grimes on twitter just to see what his moral outrage of the day is and to confirm that I don't agree with him as a sanity check.

Loving that he's all for defunding the bbc, boycotting The Co-Op, Yorkshire Tea plus Ben & Jerrys' as they're going "broke for woke" but it's the left who have the cancel culture...?

Please note: prior to hitting the post button, I've double checked for anything that could be construed as "Anti Semitic" and to the best of my knowledge it isn't. Anything deemed to be of a Xenophobic nature is therefore purely accidental or down to your own misconstruing.
