Christian Purslow - Resigned

[eamonn]

Does Deano definitely vote Conservative?

[Nelly]

Why would it be anyone's business who he votes for? This is distasteful.

[Brazilian Villain]

Steve Stride would be good on the board

Are you sure. Didn't he play snooker at Great Barr Conservative Club?

Liked nothing more than potting a few reds, I heard.

[Percy McCarthy]

He'll probably be running for the Tories in one of the upcoming by-elections. He strikes me as a Rishi-loyalist.

Is all this Tory-stuff simply Red Scouse, chip-on-the-shoulder nonsense? I recently read Purslow's father's obituary and it seems Mr Purslow Sr was a devout Catholic and paid up member of the Labour Party.  Now, that doesn't necessarily mean CP was the same, but still...

It seems any opportunity to mention the Tories is the obsession of some on here - quite pathetic really as there are enough political threads elsewhere.

Yes, I think you have got a point there.

However, I feel duty bound to point out that the tories are proper kernts.

Purslow donated £50k to the Tory party in 2019.

Quelle surprise!

Good riddance then.

Agreed.

How else are supposed to find out if he’s a ****** or not?

And he drives a blue car.

Playing snooker at a conservative club doesn’t really make you a Tory.

Playing snooker at a conservative club doesn’t really make you a Tory.

Especially as snooker halls are hard to find these days.  They are probably one of the few places that still have decent tables.

Maybe it's just me but Dean Smith could never, ever be whatever you wrote because he's a villa fan that ended up managing villa and got us promoted, gave us some incredible times, all while being a very decent person. It never occurred to me to shit on him or anyone because of how they might vote.

[Sexual Ealing]

It was just a joke! FFS why do you snowflakes take everything so seriously?

God forbid if anyone made a joke about the Highway Code, they'd be thrown in a pit and shat on by Paul Dacre. Honestly, this country.

When my grandfather was your age he was fighting* for the Republic in the Spanish Civil War for the right of our generation to call Tories ******. I know he lost and everything, but the point stands.

*To my knowledge, my grandfather, like all the Ealing males, hid with great alacrity from all violence in all circumstances.

[Nelly]

We must never joke about the highway code.

[Nev]

For those of us who are politically minded, coming across those that are ambivalent can be hugely frustrating and I would wager that there are plenty of people that use Con clubs or Labour Social Clubs that don't give a hoot about politics, or have a passing interest at best.

I shall attending a party at my local Con Club next month, the bloke who's throwing it is about as Conservative as me but it's a well run and popular venue so no-one gives a fuck. I shall make a fuss mind, for the craic if nothing else and I will be the subject of ridicule from plenty for just setting foot in the place.


Me and a gang of mates were thrown out of Wednesbury Con Club a few years back for swearing and I wear that as a badge of honour.

[dave shelley]

Wear a red shirt Nev just for fun.

[Clampy]

I went in a Con club a couple of years back and it had pictures of all ex-conservative prime ministers on the wall. The beer was shit as well.

[Risso]

Fucking hell, take it elsewhere, eh?
