They are tories – lower than vermin – why expect anything else?

Bloody hell, just been reading the guy's Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Coleman
What a horrible, horrible man.

How do you get rid of someone like that? Presumably he just gets in because of people voting Tory, or are there people who actually like him and specifically vote for him? Not having voted in a local election in a while or a LA election I'm not sure how it works.

My mum is one of his constituents (or whatever the word is) and I'm sure she'd be interested in what can be done to get rid of horrible people like him.

Consistently runs up higher taxi fares than the rest of the London Assembly COMBINED. Bloody hell.

Wow.

With comments like this, reasoned political debate is impossible.

What a horrible person. TBH, looking at his photo, he's not long for this earth. Not exactly a picture of health. Coronary in waiting.

 

[clarion]

Charming fellow. I hope he gets what he deserves from the legal process.

From Wikepedia.....
Coleman has built up a reputation as an outspoken supporter of car driving, leading Richard Littlejohn to label him a "hero" for introducing a policy of removing road humps
A hero of professional arse Richard Littlejohn FFS! Nuff said!

 

[Davidc]

Don't whinge, vote them out!

With apologies to those who've tried.

Does that name equate to Dick Smalldick?

Does being on the side of cyclists depend on your political persuasion? I've read a few anti Tory posts on here and i wonder if they're because the posters see Conservatives as anti cyclists, or because the posters don't like Conservatives. To me cycling is like animal welfare, it's non political.
Did anyone ever see fatty 2 jags socialist Prescott on a bike? No but they saw Tory(I'll resign but keep the bed warm) Mitchell on one! By the way i'm not a Conservative.

No, its because they are twats and will only ever be treated with respect and provoke reasoned political debate when they stop it.

Did 18 years of the Maggie and John show not teach you ANYTHING? (Although I was thinking that ironically, almost killing the coal industry in the '80s will maybe help with climate targets. Who'd have thought it, eh? ).

"No, its because they are twats and will only ever be treated with respect and provoke reasoned political debate when they stop it".


I think that answers my question.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Miao!

Actually, coming to think abut it, it could be applied to just about ANY Politician really.

Really? Can't handle a bit of banter eh? I bet most Tories have thicker skin... I suppose Nye Bevan was incapable of reasoned political debate as well? - I was paraphrasing him after all. Personally I find politicians lack passion when compared to their peers... But back to the topic at hand, reasoned political debate is impossible when those who are supposed to debate simply leave the room...
