Never heard of Scott Benton is he local.
Heās not on his own though. Led by IDS, quite a few Tories have been saying the same thing.Same old argument from the pitiful right-wingers on here. This time hanging it on a tweet from the latest suit full of bugger all to represent Blackpool South.
When Biden gets in you can guarantee that the Tory Party will lose that tweet and relegate Benton to the most distant of back benches.
Nothing concentrates the mind of senior tories than the need to be in bed with the POTUS. The last PM who managed to stay onside with the POTUS whilst staying away from their militarised foreign policy was Wilson. I just wish we were as bloody-minded as the French at times.Heās not on his own though. Led by IDS, quite a few Tories have been saying the same thing.
Itās the usual foot stamping you get whenever the Brexit Fantasy meets the real world. Lots of screaming until they are sick.
Jezza hasn't been in charge for the best part of a year.Exactly the same over here with our two crap choices of Boris v Jezza now
Donald v Joe
FFS you couldn't pick a more useless bunch.
He'll still not be right when you've donned a PNE shirt whilst singing the Knobbers praises at the back of the invisibles stand.Heās right though.
Neither has Joe but their all fuckin useless.Jezza hasn't been in charge for the best part of a year.
I'm intrigued. Joe who? and 'their all fuckin useless' what? What have they all got that's fuckin useless?Neither has Joe but their all fuckin useless.
Ok, but heās still right.He'll still not be right when you've donned a PNE shirt whilst singing the Knobbers praises at the back of the invisibles stand.
I tend to judge a person for what their really worth and what they bring to the town rather than any private outside thoughts/beliefs.Scott Benton is the most loathsome Right Wing #### I can think of...apart from Ian Duncan-Smith and that Beano figure, Rees-Mogg! . I remember emailing him over Cummings and Barnard Castle and he absolutely backed him to the hilt! This despite the Tory MP for Blackpool North, Paul Maynard, saying the opposite and that Cummings should go! When Cummings did finally go I emailed Benton again, asking if he still backed him...unsurprisingly he never got back! . The guy moved to Blackpool after failing to attend FIVE hustings as potential Tory candidate for Huddersfield! He was lso a member of an ANTI GAY group....so became MP for Blackpool South...you couldn't make it up!!! . My daughter hates him with a passion and says he covers himself in snake oil in an attempt to slither his way up the Tory Party....she's not far wrong imo. He likes to see which way the wind is blowing that's for sure....
I know, and you got one in the end didnāt you.Interesting to read those posters that were hoping for a āmentalistā to win the US election.
The only people Iāve noticed using the word racist on here lately are feckwits like you and Newhollandā¦ And finally calling someone a racist has sadly become a daily routine now on here for some, itās just pathetic.
Do you know what? Iāam finally joining the ranks of most posters on here by hitting the ignore button, I should have done it months ago when advised.The only people Iāve noticed using the word racist on here lately are feckwits like you and Newholland
Newholland. āIs she a racist?ā
Jaffa. āNo, cos sheās blackā
Wasnāt really your finest hour, now, was it
I don't recall calling Benton a racist? He probably is like(he was recently banging on about asylum seekers being housed at the Metropole)...but I don't recall saying it As for the airport, well like I said in my initial message...he likes to see which way the wind is blowing....or windsock in the case of the airport!. He's sussed that the airport is a very emotive subject for locals and so has jumped on the bandwagon....like he recently did regarding BFC...despite only living here about 5 years and reportedly being a Leeds(?) fan...I tend to judge a person for what their really worth and what they bring to the town rather than any private outside thoughts/beliefs.
And for me If he can get Blackpool airport open again to international flights heāll have done more for the town than the Labour council has in 2 decades.
Letās not forget the airport closed under its present owners (the Labour controlled Blackpool council) they ripped a perfectly adequate terminal down and in its place built the energy college (fracking college if you want to give it its real name) and since the departure of fracking on the Fylde coast no fecker attends, itās become a massive white elephant and a total waste of tax payers money.
Blackpool council have sold off many acres of airport land for both housing and recreational use their trying to shrink the airport to such a size where they can say right enough is enough we have to close it, the air terminal is just the start of a pre planned demolition of the airport.
Scott Benton has met on many occasions potential airline owners in the hope of returning the big aircraft to Blackpool airport yet the owners (Blackpool council) have done absolutely nothing.
So to sum him up heās done more for the town already than Gordon Marsden ever did in 3 decades as the Labour MP.
And finally calling someone a racist has sadly become a daily routine now on here for some, itās just pathetic.
You didnāt call him a racist, but because he supported Trump heās cast as racist to others on here and thatās what Iāam on about.I don't recall calling Benton a racist?

If he supported Trump then he's probably guilty by association. That guy was the biggest moron on the planet...and yet 75m Americans still voted for him!You didnāt call him a racist, but because he supported Trump heās cast as racist to others on here and thatās what Iāam on about.
Letās get real here Blackpool council didnāt want any of the asylum seekers in the town do by your choice of words all the council are racists?
According to some on here 17 million morons voted for Brexit but the morons still won.If he supported Trump then he's probably guilty by association. That guy was the biggest moron on the planet...and yet 75m Americans still voted for him!
So did he get the airport open again for international flights?I tend to judge a person for what their really worth and what they bring to the town rather than any private outside thoughts/beliefs.

Yes...that's turning out 'just fine' isn't it?!According to some on here 16 million morons voted for Brexit but the morons still won.
Itās an ongoing process.So did he get the airport open again for international flights?
Simon Sadler will get it done.Itās an ongoing process.
Whatās the saying āRome wasnāt built in a dayā
It would help however if the airport owners got behind Scott Benton instead of doing F A.
In comparison when is the east stand going to be built?
You donāt know I donāt know and truth be known Simon Sadler doesnāt know either as far too many obstacles lie ahead that need addressing.

His famous pledge and yet he has not spoken to any of the parties that would be involved in reopening the airport. There is literally no official correspondence. He's a fraud.I tend to judge a person for what their really worth and what they bring to the town rather than any private outside thoughts/beliefs.

The shortages of HGV drivers, empty shelves in shops, spiralling fuel prices etc are happening all over the world not just here. Seems our Brexit is a more powerful phenomenon than anyone could ever imagine. FFS wake up!According to some on here 17 million morons voted for Brexit but the morons still won.
Key: thereās a lot of morons in the world today.
At least you acknowledge spiralling fuel prices are a global thing unlike some on here do.The shortages of HGV drivers, empty shelves in shops, spiralling fuel prices etc are happening all over the world not just here. Seems our Brexit is a more powerful phenomenon than anyone could ever imagine. FFS wake up!
So the meeting I attended with Scott, Jake Berry (northern power house minister) and other parties didnāt happen then?His famous pledge and yet he has not spoken to any of the parties that would be involved in reopening the airport. There is literally no official correspondence. He's a fraud.
Bit like The Northern Powerhouse has failed to turn up along with Levelling Up, 40 New Hospitals, Sunlit Uplandsā¦..So the meeting I attended with Scott, Jake Berry (northern power house minister) and other parties didnāt happen then?
And for the record I didnāt say it was with Blackpool airport management did I? They failed to turn up like the airport owners did Blackpool's labour councillors.
You know absolutely nothing trust me.
Iāam not reaping praise on Jake Berry or indeed what the Northern power house has done or not done, Iāam merely saying that meetings have taken place regarding the airport and that they havenāt been made public.Bit like The Northern Powerhouse has failed to turn up along with Levelling Up, 40 New Hospitals, Sunlit Uplandsā¦..
Fair enough Jaffa, Iām very ābiteyā today sorry!Iāam not reaping praise on Jake Berry or indeed what the Northern power house has done or not done, Iāam merely saying that meetings have taken place regarding the airport and that they havenāt been made public.
Absolutely no worries mate.Fair enough Jaffa, Iām very ābiteyā today sorry!
I think that sums thing's up nicely! . As Wizaard says...he's a grandstander. Yes he's far more high profile than Marsden, but is that such a good thing?! The 'iron lady' was high profile too, but very much a marmite figure...that is one the country hasn't forgotten, even to this day! Loved and hated in equal measure. Personally I hated the woman...and some area's of this country haven't recovered from her policies even today
I know one thing. You're being conned.So the meeting I attended with Scott, Jake Berry (northern power house minister) and other parties didnāt happen then?

Well at least itās nice to know you at least acknowledge a meeting took place.I know one thing. You're being conned.
I've not disputed that. When was it? What was said? What was the outcome? What are the next steps?Well at least itās nice to know you at least acknowledge a meeting took place.
Confidential Iāam afraid.I've not disputed that. When was it? What was said? What was the outcome? What are the next steps?
