A.B.Yaffle Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Dont worry, ...........after its finished, sheffield residents will be tarnished, the police with have caused some major incident and the tory party will never give anything to sheffield again......the city can then rejoice and go back to being insular. Sounds like the false accusations after the Hillsborough disaster again... whatever happens the police will be to blame yet again! I presume you are posting tongue in cheek!

ECCOnoob 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. :clap: finally a sensible post after all these pages of drivel.

Extrabold Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 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. These conferences are booked about 2 years in advance. Everywhere else wants them because of the business they bring. The cost of extra security for government party and main opposition party conferences is usually paid by the Home Office. If they aren't doing that this time, I would like to know why. So now all the Labour agitators want to create a bad impression of Sheffield by rioting on the doorstep, and complaining about the security that they make necessary. This is from the party that carted off a heckler using anti-terrorism powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydotcom Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 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 Some people on here need Talk is cheap though, you just wait, they'll smash Sheffield to pieces ... I do hope the Police have a zero tolerance policy on anyone causing trouble, as this could get out of hand quickly I am almost scared to think what Sheffield will look like on Monday morning, hopefully no shops etc will be smashed up and no one will try to kill a policeman like the idiot with the fire extinguisher did in london Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydotcom Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Students complain against politicians not spending enough money on education and making them pay more for it ... then make us all pay £2 to police it because they cant be trusted not to try and kill someone again and smash Sheffield up ... And these are meant to be educated people ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - a golden opportunity for anonymous labour agitators to create a bit of mayhem knowing full well the LibDems will get the blame. Very handy ammunition for the local elections.

The cost of extra security for government party and main opposition party conferences is usually paid by the Home Office. If they aren't doing that this time, I would like to know why. The Lib Dem spring conference in Sheffield was announced in February last year. The cost of policing it comes entirely from the South Yorkshire Police Authority budget. There is no gaurantee that the government will agree to meet any or the full amount of the costs - which are coming out of police budget reserves.

What utterly ridiculous accusations. Neither of you have any evidence to support your claims of "Labour agitators ... rioting on the doorstep" because your claims are simply false and just political smears.

alchresearch Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hmmm, maybe you should open your eyes a bit more and read any thread on this forum which details Clegg and the Lib Dems coming to Sheffield. As for "political smears", we've put up with plenty from Labour, how's it feel when the boot is on the other foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
