BoneDog Posted 30 January 2010 Posted 30 January 2010 Jim says it best I knew Ultra had something to do with the council but I never knew he was right at the top of the food chain!
Hugo Sanchez Posted 30 January 2010 Posted 30 January 2010 This is about as sad as Oasis spliting up, we are doomed i tells ya.
stez Posted 31 January 2010 Posted 31 January 2010 Jim says it best I knew Ultra had something to do with the council but I never knew he was right at the top of the food chain! yes, yes it did!
MC Prussian Posted 31 January 2010 Posted 31 January 2010 I want the new council to tear down all those fancy, shiny and faceless new buildings that were to "improve" the cityscape and instead replace them with something that actually oozes style and that resembles the way Leicester looked like some hundred years ago. In short, I want class. I call Colin to the rescue.
Samilktray Posted 31 January 2010 Posted 31 January 2010 Id like to run in an election against him if thats possible. A vote for me, is a vote for free vending machines on every street corner and free goldfish for under 21 year olds.
CosbehFox Posted 31 January 2010 Posted 31 January 2010 RIP leicester Have you heard the plans for the 'Business Quarter'? Surprised there's been no thread.
Sparky Posted 31 January 2010 Posted 31 January 2010 Glad to see Frog islands development is on his agenda, there was plans for a marina and new bars/cafes and shops down there but never materialised
BoneDog Posted 31 January 2010 Posted 31 January 2010 Are we going to get an FT speech from the new Lord Mayor soon? I think it's the least we deserve
Sir Fynwy Posted 1 February 2010 Posted 1 February 2010 I can't think of a better arguement for Leicester having a directly elected Mayor.
Manwell Pablo Posted 1 February 2010 Posted 1 February 2010 I can't think of a better arguement for Leicester having a directly elected Mayor. We seriously could get him in a whole load of shit though couldn't we? Didn't he threaten to beat Jim with a baseball bat at somepoint
breadandcheese Posted 1 February 2010 Posted 1 February 2010 I didn't realise until I read the article that Ultra's parents had also been involved heavily at a local council/government level. Another Labour official who argues passionately against inherited opportunity. Four legs good, two legs better.
Thracian Posted 1 February 2010 Posted 1 February 2010 I didn't realise until I read the article that Ultra's parents had also been involved heavily at a local council/government level. Another Labour official who argues passionately against inherited opportunity. Four legs good, two legs better. It's more of the sort of hypocrisy highlighted by Labour ministers and former ministers reacting against independent school education in their desperate and shameless efforts to fan the flames of class war despite having benefitted from such schooling themselves or personally supported the system with their own choices . As in: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article...k-on-cameron.do http://www.allbusiness.com/education-train...13523045-1.html http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2...15875-18415673/ And how viciously Labour's hypocritcal hatred can come across: http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2009/o...ised-chief-says How opportunistic Ultra has been on the back of his parents political background I don't know but I've no doubt from talking to him that he's been strongly schooled in socialist principles from childhood to manhood, absorbing with apparent enthusiasm, the doubtful and, to many people, incentive-killing theories of Karl Marx along the way.
Webbo Posted 1 February 2010 Posted 1 February 2010 I don't want to be churlish about this. Ultra's not one of my favourite posters but becoming Mayor is an honour and an achievement of sorts. Even though I despise his politics I don't doubt that sincerely believes he is doing what's best for the majority of people in this country/his council ward. I'll congratulate you Ultra.
Alexikokopops Posted 1 February 2010 Posted 1 February 2010 Hang on, didn't this man threaten TPH with a baseball bat and strongly insinuate that davieG was racist because he supported that bridge thing? Then again, my mayor is Boris so I don't really know what point I'm trying to make.
dimmerchant Posted 1 February 2010 Posted 1 February 2010 No idea who he is but I get the impression the new Leicester mayor is going to be a far left, deluded, unpopular, #@#?
Finnegan Posted 2 February 2010 Posted 2 February 2010 No idea who he is but I get the impression the new Leicester mayor is going to be a far left, deluded, unpopular, #@#? No, no and no, basically. For a start, being mayor of Leicester isn't like being mayor of London. A majority of people don't know or give a fook who you are and the "power" you wield isn't exactly fabulously evident. Not to say he has no authority and won't make any change but I doubt he's going to drastically alter many people's lives. Secondly, having Thracian describe you as a hardcore socialist basically just means you don't vote BNP, he's probably got Webbo down as some sort of Maoist. Ultra's immensely quick to defend just about everything New Labour's ever done which would imply to me he falls in line with a lot of their politics even if they don't quite match up to whatever left-wing upbringing he had. Ergo I imagine he'll be confined to the same centerism that the entire government is run by. As for deluded? Er, perhaps only in as much that he thinks he's got a clue about football.
