green Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have to wonder if the Council didn't 'volunteer' Sheffield as a venue. It would seem pretty stupid though given the local antipathy towards Nick Clegg....or perhaps the LibDems on the Council still see him as the boy wonder. Of course they volunteered Sheffield......and 2 years ago when the decision was made....it was excellent for the City and SIV. Now however, Nick is the voodoo doll we all want to put pins in, and people are moaning its in Sheffield... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wednesday1 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I don't think Thatcher ever came back to Sheffield after her reception at the Cutlers Hall back in 1981. Wonder if Nick will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me wonder though, what with Scrivens music video for Mercure, and I presume that will be the accommodation of choice for delegates I think we have a right to know WHICH bright spark is behind Sheffield being selected as a venue.

verydull Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 i think its a perfect venue.... if you want to give the police justification for going in heavy handed, and a guarantee of trouble. Of course trouble means maximum publicity, and that's of course what it boils down to. its basically a ploy to demonstrate how bad protests are.. and i think it might work...

donuticus Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Surely the fact they've chosen Sheffield is because it's relatively central in the UK and the party leader's constituency is there. Common sense surely? The Conservatives go toward Brighton or Birmingham which are in the areas where they are politically successful and Labour usually go to Blackpool again in the heartland of their voting demographic.

If Sheffield is the new heartland for the Lib Dems, heaven help them.:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full of contradictions here... 1/ Why will Sheffield residents be tarnished? 2/ Why would the Police cause a major incident? 3/ WTF did the Tory Party EVER give to Sheffield anyway? Your assuming that the protests will be violent, and every protester i have spoken to have made a big point of stating PEACEFUL protests.
