Personally I'd be happier giving anti-social louts a clip behind the ear, rather than doing what Cameron says, and giving them a hug, and biggin' up some respect for them.

Yep that sounds better

For somebody who thinks 'knowledge is power' it seems to have escaped you that this 'hug a hoodie' crap was just a newspaper headline and nothing to do with actual policy.

They have 'actual policies' regarding the hugging of hooligans?

That's very interesting to know.

Now if you're wearing your li'l Blue Care Bear hoodie, I'll give you a little hug for being helpful.

Hooded Sweatshirt > I <3 Tory Bear!

Oh dear, I really shouldn't have scrolled down any further.

I'm now seeing these being worn on next year's calendar.

Classic Thong > I <3 Tory Bear!

Only if they do a non-partisan one, with Labour on the reverse, and the Lib Dems where the sun don't shine.

I think Ken Hargeaves bucked the trend in 1987 helped by associated Militant Keva Coombes from Liverpool.

Whilst 5% swings were the norm in this region, ken actually increased his majority from 21 to 2000.

In 1996 the Tories also selected Hugh Neil but following salubrious headlines he was deselected.

From the election being called parties will have one week to get nomination papers in and 5 weeks campaigning. I do think it is very latebut that should be ok if they pick a local candidate. Clearly any outsider will have difficulty in having just a few weeks.

You seem to have a problem with the press, especially the Tory supporting Daily Telegraph, but when the politically ultra-right Daily Mail refers to Cameron's famous 'hug-a-hoodie' speech in a report, then I'm afraid the die is cast.

Aide who wrote Cameron's hug-a-hoodie speech is attacked... by a HOODIE | Mail Online

Whatever his intention, historically he will now always been associated with that speech, and will be seen as a soft, namby-pamby bleeding heart, more concerned with the welfare of anti-social louts, rather than offering support and a more secure future to the victims of crime.

Careless talk costs (political) lives.

I saw the Peter B comment. I like many feel the Borough I being let down by local Conservatives. The parliamentry fiasco is indicative of the same people running our Borough.

I did post the blog and the press did print a story from it. I was contacted but not quoted. But it not the first time the press have chased the story.

Nigel Evans knows I have been canvassing and was critical. So it's not just Labour.

The public in Hyndburn deserve a Tory candidate at the earliest.

Hi any thoughts on who it may be.

It'd probably be more productive asking that question of a Conservative Party member, rather than someone who's a member of another political party.

I'm sure asking someone a little closer to home might be more illuminating.

Already asked the question to the one a little closer to home he has no ideas on who it may be. Just asked Graham who he thought it may be. I think i know who it may be but will have to wait i guess.
