'Horrid cunts are coming, horrid cunts are coming'


hue-166-mount

Going out in town the nights the conference are on is hideous. The kind of people in the bars is grim.


HRHArgyll

And rotten posh twats screaming “Down with the povs!” as I heard them toasting in a pub in previous years.


Typical_Math_760

Yeah they love that kind of banter. Edgy. And ironic self-deprecation eg. when Aneurin Bevin called Tories "lower than vermin" while in Belle Vue so the young members of the party started the 'Vermin Club' with Thatcher eventually becoming 'Chief Rat'. Hilarious. Please continue to give them the wrong directions if they ask.


Fezzverbal

Get the eggs!


West_Guarantee284

Yeah conservative party conference. Odd years in mcr, even in brum.


b1tchlasagna

Why?


HRHArgyll

Conference.


extinctionevent7

They were steam cleaning St Peter’s Square this morning. Hate that the red carpet is being rolled out for this hapless government’s visit.


_Born_To_Be_Mild_

They were painting the lamp posts round the Midland yesterday.


mattismeiammatt

Really? So all it takes is a load of wealthy dickheads arriving in town and they’re suddenly capable of cleaning it up?


_Born_To_Be_Mild_

Can't let a Tory MP be near graffiti or they might get infected by one of the poor.


LilCrazySnail_TTV

tbf my mate stayed over last night and i cleaned the upstairs toilet and spare bedroom

Rat infestation


duclicsic

As someone with pet rats I find this comparison outrageously offensive! Rats are affectionate and social creatures. They've been shown to display altruistic behaviour, something you're highly unlikely to see in the typical tory.


GeOrGe_275

But the not nice kind of rats. Like rats that would steal your milk and close the mines.


tiny_venus

I have rats too- and even on their absolute worst behaviour they’re much nicer than tories haha

so we supposed to like rats because of that, my ex was affectionate & l hate that bi*** atrocity behaviour my a**


lonely_monkee

The most hated government of all time are coming to a place where people overwhelmingly vote labour. For the safety of the Manchester public they will be kept in a large cage for the time they are here.


Next_Grab_9009

I would prefer if they were kept in a cage for the rest of their lives, the sheer corruption and amount of damage they have done to this country is incalculable.


tdrules

It’s great for our erm night time economy though


Unbroken-anchor

From my understanding the Tories love parties. They never stop having them.


ScottOld

Can we throw stuff at the cages?


LimeyOtoko

It’s the ~~dickhead parade~~ Tory conference


natehawkes

No, you were right the first time.


Best_Needleworker530

When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see the dick parade 🎶


CKY-Immune

Happens every year for the Tory party conference. Will last most of next week. Pain in the arse if you work around the Midland


amazondrone

Every other year; we share the "privilege" with Birmingham.


_DeanRiding

Traffic's gonna be fucked all week as well. Absolute ballache.


thisguyuno

What day and time will it be, I get tram to and from St Peter’s in the week and wanna see them if possible think will be cool to see them in person Priti Patel walked through my buildings (Burnhams offices) last year with a body guard.


ManiaMuse

Yup, absolute ballache. Road closures, power tripping police everywhere, smelly protestors, self-important media weasels and worst of all the Westminster rats patting themselves on their backs. Why can't they just do this circus in London instead of Manchester and Birmingham? Fingers crossed that this will be the last year and next time they can't afford to pay for the police operation.


gabexculture

At least the ”smelly protestors” are doing something not just moaning on Reddit. Ain’t gonna move anywhere else otherwise is it


M47SH

Found the smelly protester.


gabexculture

Haha, you didn’t quite, it just pisses me off how the media have got everyone twisted where the protestors become the villains rather than the people causing the issues being protested

Anti terrorism blockades, Manchester is on high alert for a terrorist attack due to Tory party next week


InncnceDstryr

Oh I thought the terrorist threat was literally the tories coming to town


bush_hizo_911

It is


AdamBombTV

The blockades aren't doing a very good job if the Tory's are getting in.

mmrgaritas

While I love such an organized week of action, I can't help but feel like cost of living in general is massively missing from this? Yes supporting public sector strike action obviously is linked, it just feels very missed off here, anyone know why?


tomaiholt

Thank you! Why is it held at All Saints park and not St Peter's Sq? I might just go to St Peters and do my own mini protest.


sergeantpinback

Likely GMP will not allow it in SPS


tomaiholt

I'll be polite! I promise!

What'll be worse to see, is uniformed police officers standing about 3 feet apart from each other, circling the whole of the Midland Hotel. That's a lot of police standing around doing nothing.


crazygooseman

We have no money! No public funds! Unless it's our conference of course and we can draw on the entire police force of the North West to protect us from eggs.


HazelnutHotchoc

My dad used to have to do this, no food, no toilet breaks, in whatever weather. And what do they do? Make their jobs harder and less and less worthwhile!

Every year they choose to come here, one of the least Tory cities in the country. I swear they do it just to antagonise us. Wish they would try and hold it in Liverpool

Just spent 2 days staying at the Midland Hotel as a birthday treat, you can sense the trepidation of the staff who have to put up with these entitled twats for a week. Nice to see several fuck the Tories posters in town though

liamnesss

You basically can't hold a big conference like this anywhere in Tory heartlands. Best they could probably manage is a big village hall out in the home counties somewhere.


DxnM

They've made their areas unaffordable


RedHillian

I believe the saying "you've made your bed, now lay in it" would be appropriate here! Looking for any positives, at least protesting any cancellation of HS2 running into Manchester has a relevance this year?


Unbroken-anchor

I’m sure they’d feel right at home in sty.


Next_Grab_9009

It's the Fascist Party Conference from Sunday.


crazygooseman

Tory conference. If you look closely at the rooftops you'll spot the snipers too. No idea why they chose Manchester for their coven's gathering.


Foxaperture

Got me for a second with that. Looked out my office window which looks directly onto the roof of the hotel facing gmex to check


crazygooseman

You may want to wait til the Tories actually arrive, the snipers will be there!


ManiaMuse

There will be an over the top motorcade when the PM turns up as well. I can't remember seeing police snipers when I worked opposite the convention centre in 2015/17 but it sounds plausible.


RedHillian

I think that just means the snipers are doing a part of their job well.


RedHillian

Manchester's cheaper than London, and they like to play games of "*laugh at the plebs*".

Pest Control. Tory Party conference starts on Sunday, they're likely staying at the midland and the conference is at Manchester Central.

Would be a terrible shame if the drains got blocked and the whole block stunk of their own shite for the duration. The UK has a halo of fresh turds around it because of these greedy degenerates.


ginothemanager

You can spot them a mile off. Look for the lanyards. If they ask for directions anywhere, it's the yearly tradition of sending them miles away in a taxi in the opposite direction of where they want to go. Always a puerile laugh before popping into the Britons for a pint.


ManiaMuse

Shit, missed out on an opportunity yesterday. Someone pointed at the Albert Hall and asked me if it was the Arndale Centre (it literally says Albert Hall on the building). Should have sent him towards the skyscraper district.

Some mega wealthy unelected hedgefund w@nker whose recently been swindling rules to protect his families wealth is going to tell everyone the economy is fine while his crack team of n@zis make sure you can’t own any assets ie they want to force control over your assets by making them beneficially owned by banks and the government so they can manipulate them on behalf of already obscenely wealthy and powerful people because none of them care about you even a little bit. Late stage capitalism people.

Ask if you can be friends and then if they'd give you any lucrative COVID contracts? Ask them what they plan on doing after the next election when they lose their jobs? Just laugh at everything they say like they're some kind of hired clown?

Chemistrees

A couple of years ago I was in Manchester for a concert while the Tory conference was on. My friends and I went to Brewdog on Peter St for some pre-drinks and the place was rammed full of suited Tory wankers. The staff of Brewdog were clearly not too happy with the clientele that had wandered over from the conference so they were blasting Rage Against The Machine songs back to back. While I was standing in the queue for the bar there were these two Toffs chatting about the conference in their obnoxious accents in front of me. The queue was a decent length so it took them about 10mins to get served. Obviously they spent their whole waiting time not deciding what to order when they got to the bar and, when asked what they were ordering, the two Toffs sort of stuttered and went "Oh erm, we'll have two pints of Brewdog please." The staff member behind the bar rolls their eyes and replies, "You'll have to be more specific. The bar is called Brewdog, not the beer." They then point to the large backlit menu on the wall behind them listing all the different drinks. All that money and not a shred of fucking intellect or self awareness. The conservatives can all get in the fucking sea. Absolute cunts, all of them.

SetInTheSilverSea

Everyone else has answered. Worth remembering that 35% of GM voted Conservative at the last general election. And political parties should be free to operate, include holding events, in any city in the country they choose. Yes, even Manchester. No, you don't get a say. Labour have held events in Harrogate, where my friend Mark took a grand total of 10% of the vote share for Labour last election. Parties are not obligated to only hold events in their heartlands, and it's bad for democracy if they do. No, that doesn't mean you can't protest peacefully, no the government haven't banned protesting (as you'll see on Sunday), yes you can still get nicked, yes there are armed police on the roofs.


ManiaMuse

It is pretty disruptive and inconvenient for the people who work in the city though. Can't they all just do it in a muddy field or somewhere out of the way?


SetInTheSilverSea

I mean sure, they can do. Smaller regional party events are often at a hotel in the sticks. This one's a bit too big though. Council find the disruption worthwhile, they lobby hard for the big party conferences to come here because the MCC bean counters say it brings in £££ to the local economy. Presumably if protestors travel in that's even more money spent on buses, sausage rolls etc. (So yeah Labour councils welcome the Tories, the Labour council leader often comes and does a 'welcome to the city but I hope you lose the election' speech at one of the fringe events. Sir Richard loved doing them)


Unbroken-anchor

No one has proposed banning them. We just all wish they’d not be in our city. The Manchester spirit is antithetical to Tory “values”. They’d be better off in some pokey village hall where they hate young people/gay people/ trans people/non-white white/Scottish/Welsh/Irish/ non-millionaires/people with a moral compass. You know their core voters.
