Happy Black Country day

Dig deeper into the E&S for MP Eleanor Smith's view that the flag is racist.

It's so unbelievable the depth some tw*ts go to. She would have created a great character in a Monty Python sketch along with Diane Abbott. I really despair.

This manufactured movement of a woman who has absolutely no idea of our history, no intention, it seems of even learning about it before she's been moved in, and quite clearly has nobody of any local substance advising her has made the massive mistake of doing something every modern day politician seems to have an uncanny habit of doing, opening her mouth before engaging the limited brain she was born with! The woman is black! That in itself isn't a problem but I have little doubt that might have been a reason to ship her in to this area as there definitely is a large ethnic community living here today, yet at the same time that shouldn't outweigh and override certain local candidates who not only know the area better but who were born and bred here. This is a perfect case of political manoeuvouring, and manufacturing, purely on the basis of the party she represents to gain a seat that was, if you will "up for grabs" at the last General Election. The woman clearly has no idea of what our flag stands for, what its history and heritage is and nor has she she spent any time into looking into it before taking one look and making her own, badly misguided guess that it's 'racist'! Big Mistake. Huge!

I don't particularly care who people vote for, although I'd like to believe they voted with their own minds for a reason they honestly believed in. That's democracy, but when political parties of all persuasions start deliberately moving certain candidates into areas completely alien to them then I start believing in conspiracies.

I hope local folk remember this at the next elections and boot her out with the full force of their steel toecaps!
