Bitter Lefties wreck Tory gin party

TORY supporters in Manchester have had to cancel a gin tasting evening at a local bar over fears it would be targeted by Leftwing protesters.

Tameside Conservatives advertised the event on Facebook and it was due to take place tomorrow. But the organisers said protesters had made online threats to disrupt it.

In a message posted on the social media site, one of the event’s organisers wrote: ‘Unfortunately, we have to cancel this event due to intimidation from Left-wing activists.

‘In the interests of the security of our guests and the venue we have no option but to cancel. This is the first time I have had to cancel an event and it is sad to do so under the given circumstances.’

It came as 50,000 demonstrators were expected to descend on Manchester this weekend at the start of the Tory conference in the city. A £2million police operation is planned across the four days.

Party delegates arriving by rail tomorrow evening will be greeted by Left-wing activists as part of an ‘unwelcome the Tories flash mob’. Two big protest marches – one anti-austerity, the other anti-Brexit – involving an estimated total of 50,000 demonstrators are planned for the opening day of the conference on Sunday. And as Theresa May gives her speech on Wednesday, anti-austerity groups have pledged to create a wall of sound around the conference centre using pots, pans, drums, whistles and megaphones.

The warnings about hard-Left intimidation come just days after Labour was branded ‘the new nasty party’ following anti-Semitism at its Brighton conference.
