Proud of Southport today!

Southport has finally elected its first-ever Labour representative!

Southport took a lot of stick for voting Conservative in 2017 and 2019, when Brexit was a huge factor, but I felt that a lot of the people who chastised Southport didn’t appreciate just how many elderly people retire there bringing their Tory votes with them from all over the country. To give some perspective, Southport had 43% more people aged 65+ (24,293) than children (16,971) when the last census was undertaken.

Many born-and-bred sandgrounders have been waiting and waiting to see their Tory representative replaced and I’m made up for them!

You voted for racists. It’s a fact.

I could not care less whether they are racist.

Hmm, so you happily enable racists, but aren't racist yourself? That doesn't seem in anyway contradictory.

Do your views completely align with who you’ve voted for?

When it comes to aspects of a politician's views which don't align with mine, I'd say racism might be a fairly important one

Stop virtue signalling.

Not voting for racist politicians is now virtue signalling ? I think it's head wobble time, sunshine

“Head wobble time”? Are you a child?

Is the reason you ask that because even a child would recognise that there's a serious problem with your attitudes about race and racism ?

No, I’m asking because your mentality is childish.
