Thread Name: BS: Demise of the Labour Party
Subject: RE: BS: Demise of the Labour Party
Labour needs to learn the recent lessons of The Irish Labour Party who voluntarily eclipsed itself out of existence by throwing its support behind right-wing parties.
The British Labour Party has been under attack from the Antisemitic
, extreme right-wing Israeli dirty-tricks campaign and those Antisemites (led by Bobad and his ilk), all all present and correct of this thread - no problem in choosing sides here - you only have to look at the old usuals.
Labour many need stronger leadership (always a suspicions phrase when you look back at Hitler, Pinochet and his friend Thatcher and such 'strong leaders' of the past, but above all, it needs principle and compassion based on the old values.
The mob of careerist jackals at present scrabbling for leadership is the last thing Britain or Labour needs.
I stopped voting altogether when Blair's sun rose - he reduced Britain's politics to the Tweedledum-Tweedledee level in one fell swoop
Had I still been in Britain I might have reversed that decision with the advent of Corbyn - a new broom with real values and compassion long lacking in British politics.
Without and alternative Britain is heading for racist-based isolationism and a same-as-ever social policy of continuing to make the less-well-off pay.
