I'm not sure residents of Stockport do see it through rose-tinted spectacles. There are plenty who are happy to disassociate from the town, either to pretend they are just a part of Cheshire and not a part of Stockport in Cheshire, or to pretend they are part of Manchester. Also I don't think civic pride is that high generally. Meet someone from Bolton, Oldham, Burnley, Sunderland, etc... and they'll happily tell you where they come from. Meet someone from Stockport and half the time they murmur something about being from Cheshire, or chunter on about being from Manchester. I will say that County fans do tend to be the more positive and rose-tinted, and have/show that bit more civic pride. Maybe that has affected your perspective? I always say I'm from Stockport and if asked where it is, I reply Cheshire. As a very last resort I'll say near Manchester. Stockport is on the up these days. Yes it has it's rough area's, but so does everywhere. Burnley, Blackpool, Bradford, Hull, Stoke are all shit holes to name a few. It was ironic hearing the Stoke fans chanting " Stockport's a shit hole" etc. At the friendly game. Now that's rose tinted glasses for you. Oh I'm like you. But let's face it loads aren't.

Thing is these days you can get arrested for saying you’re British Are you telling me that if you say you're British, you'll be arrested and thrown in jail? When did this come in? Ever since the liberal commie snowflakes took over the deep state and started letting immigrants into the country to replace all us white people

‘ The judge said no-one had suggested Sweeney would have taken part in any violence, but "so called keyboard warriors like her, have to learn to take responsibility for their inflammatory and disgusting language".’ Wise words from a judge as he sends down some gobshite woman for posting language not too dissimilar we’ve seen on here and Marion’s in recent times. Anyone getting pulled for this kind of thing now really has no excuse. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz6x105wgz5o

A few of you extremists (left and right) need to chill out a little. I hope this helps....

Anyone getting pulled for this kind of thing now really has no excuse. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz6x105wgz5oDisgusting what she said? 100%. But 15 months for a 53 year old with no previous record & a primary carer for her husband? I think in this case a suspended sentence with a large fine & community service attached would have been more appropriate . I say this because I've known people who have gone down for burglary & drug dealing & got less than what she's been given, come out & gone straight back to what they were doing before prison. This woman made one stupid & vile comment on facebook, It's absolutely right she's been pulled up for it but I'm pretty sure just the ordeal of being in court & being named & shamed would have been enough to ensure this particular person never did anything like that again. I feel this sentence isn't a sentence aimed at this woman in particular even though she's the one who has to serve the time but an example sentence to a wider audience. No doubt that the internet needs cleaning up, hate speech stopped etc & I suppose we have to start somewhere. If this sets an example & makes people think twice before posting on social media then it can only be a good thing but Labour must have a secret stash of money to build new prisons & employ all the staff to go with them because It's been well known that our prisons have been at bursting point for quite some time. No problem whatsoever with the sentences handed out to rioters but if the prisons are bursting at the seams it's likely that certain people get released early to accommodate the new influx. A 53 year old woman with no prior criminal record who wrote one vile message on a social media platform may be going to jail but a person with a record as long as your arm & likely to re-offend may be released early to accommodate her. On the basis of this conviction I fully expect the Labour councillor who stood up in public & announced that people should have their throats cut will be getting a similar custodial sentence?

He should get more, he said it directly to a crowd from a position of responsibility, I think her lawyer will appeal and she'll be released.

Yeah, not saying I necessarily agree with it - but do agree with you that she’s defo being made an example of. My point was more that there’s no excuse for people to posting stuff like this now when the consequences are clear and obvious.
