Question

www.johntaylor.labour.co.uk

Answer 1

Roy, if he was born in 1948 (from another of your questions in a different name), then if he ever was in borstal, it was 40 years ago.

Is that the best you can do to smear the man who beat you comprehensively when you stood against him as BNP candidate in Dukinfield?

What about some issues, Roy, not "40 years ago he might have been a bit of a wrong'un"?

And if you believe in free speech ( I understand that freedom is a big thing with the BNP) why do I keep getting violations from you and why do you keep blocking me?

Answer 2

Ah diddums got an axe to grind. I would much rather have a reformed crinimal saying how crime could be prevented or reduced they at least know from the sharp end.

If you can be traced you may well find yourself in trouble with the police ffor an offence against the Reformation of Offenders Act. In fact I hope you are. imprisonment is I think an option

Answer 3

Should your Cameron be allowed to talk about drugs? Wasn't he on drugs at school?
Should priests be allowed to continue preaching even though their leaders know they are paedophiles?
Should unmarried childless women be giving advise to families?
Should I continue? I think not. I could go on for ever.
Your question is easily solved ref' the feller you are talking about , if the majority of folk don't think he is a suitable councillor, they wont vote for him, he will be out !!
That's fair enough isnt it?
Now what about the ones I have mentioned?

Answer 4

Perhaps because of his experiences, he has valid stuff to say about law and order. Have you thought of that? There's not that many "perfect" people out there you know.

Answer 5

How do you know? You have to be careful what you say about someone. If he is the same one who was an MP in Nottingham, though, I do know he lost his driving licence and had to walk to work. I cannot honestly remember though, whether it was for drunk driving or speeding.

Answer 6

Never forget that the murdering terrorist Nelson Mendela was transformed into an angel by the South African penal system.

Answer 7

I'm Roy West!

Answer 8

It seems to have paid off in his case. What about yours?

Answer 9

whats the problem maybe if this is true he is talking from experience
