Report it and stop spamming then!
Nobody is saying that your targeted individuals do feel inferior, I'm just pointing out the rudeness in your approach of speaking down to people.

Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
Oscar Wilde
...and some do it with their tongue firmly in their cheek, unbeknownst by the target.
Though I must point out I certainly don't love you. It just seemed a half good quote to illustrate my point.

Of course not.

Perhaps it's on the selection committee of the Hyndburn Conservative Association.

"Gophers" now you are talking ... back in Saskatchewan there is still a bounty on them. It used to be a nickle for a gopher tail ... they are really stupid creatures; no wonder some ended up in English local politics .... but I must pedantically point out that they are correctly termed "Richardson's ground squirrels."

Every issue can't be used for point scoring.
I'd put money on local Labour still coming out with the 'fact' that Conservatives voted against the motion. This would of course would be completely misleading the pubic by hiding the full story... but there is an another election coming up.

Andrew hope you did not put too much money on the Labour Party using the defeat of the motion on the minimum wage against the Tories in the election campaign. You judge everyone by your own standards and fail to comprehend that Clare tabled the motion because she along with the other members of Hyndburn Labour Group passionately believe in the minimum wage and wanted to highlight (and debate) the private members bill.
I am sure you are very pleased that the people of Accrington South have elected Graham Jones as their County Councillor.
