Thanks MikeL2. You are a gentleman and a scholar :-) I must admit that I have no particular axe to grind for the esteemed Ms Abbot but I do think she has worked wonders against long odds and I admire her for that. Whatever anyone thinks of her, she does not deserve the hate and bile that has been heaped upon her.

Jim,
I have put three lots of links up indicating the massixve (your choice of word) problem that the establishme4nt has with paedophilia - including leading Tory politicians - you have ignored them all

I do not deny any of it Jim.
I ignored it because this thread is about UK politics. I do not believe that any party has a particular problem with it.

I did say "but the behaviour of those Labour councillors who kept it quiet was despicable."
I stand by it, and you agreed with me on it.

Steve,
Your replacement statement said an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT thing to your original claim that many prominent Labour Party members said that the Labour Party "is more antisemitic than any other."

It was the same. Many prominent Labour people including the leadership have said that Labour has a serious problem with anti-Semitism without accusing other parties of the same problem.
It is just Labour.

Who are theses hordes of prominent members?

If I was like you I would demand to know who ever claimed "hordes."
I certainly did not, but I am not desperate to find any fault with you however trivial.
I can just flatten you arguments and your case.

You do not "flatten" arguments by saying one untrue thing, then pretending you haven't said it, then saying something completely different but saying it's the same thing. That is not an argument. That's just a shitty piece of dishonesty which I've exposed. It's your modus operandi. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're a joke on legs. An unfunny one.

Oh Dear. A member of the public is not too impressed with abbopotomus.
"Diane Abbott was faced down last night by a furious Brexiteer over her claims that Leave voters are racist. An audience member branded the shadow Home Secertary's comments a "disgusting lie" on Question Time. He was referring to Abbott's statements at last year's Labour conference, where she told a fringe meeting:

    "The people that complain about the freedom of movement will not be satisfied because what they really want is to see less foreign looking people on their streets."

As Abbott attempted to deny she had ever made the claim, another frustrated audience member roared: "you did say that". Abbott also struggled to muster a defence when she later faced strong criticism over refusing to say Ken Livingstone should be expelled from her party. Another Diane broadcast appearance, more votes lost…

Ah Yes. I see we have a well researched, comprehensive rebuttal of my last postings concerning the labour party. The pack do not like the message so attempt to goad the messenger. Sorry Boyos, don't want to play on your terms.

Anyway another little labout gem for you to gnaw on!

"New Canterbury Labour MP Rosie Duffield campaigned on an anti-grammars platform at the election, saying she wanted "no new grammar schools" as they are "not the way forward" and the 11+ is a "horrible, divisive and stressful thing". It would be pretty dumbfoundingly hypocritical for Rosie to send her own children to grammars and then pull the ladder up, right?

Yes, both of Duffield's sons went to Simon Langton Grammar School in Canterbury. One of them still currently goes there, despite mummy not wanting other people's kids to have that choice. Daniel Hamilton, a likely Tory challenger at the next election, has written to Duffield asking for clarification, pointedly noting: "how many families and young people in East Kent have benefited from our excellent local grammar schools". As Labour grammars hypocrites go, this is up there…"

Steve, my case is that Labour has a serious problem with anti-Semitism, almost entirely from the far Left.
Other parties do not have that problem.

I make my case by quoting all those prominent Labour people who say that Labour has a serious problem, and pointing out the absence of anyone saying it about any other party.
Also, only Labour Jews complain of experiencing anti-Semitism from their party.

You make your case by trying to catch me out on some wording I used.
You can produce absolutely nothing whatsoever to support your case or challenge mine.
Likewise Jim and Rag.

As always Steve, you just make assertions with nothing behind them.

Errrmmm. No. The exact phrase was "She's racist and she's not very bright." Pretty obvious that it was a reference to her intelligence.

As to I see we have a well researched, comprehensive rebuttal of my last postings concerning the labour party. Probably a damn sight better researched than your abuse of Ms Abbotts looks in calling her an abbopotomus or your C&Ps from dubious sources.

Still, like I said to Keith, if it makes you feel you are doing well, who am I to burst your bubble. I fee it is my duty to provide such care in the community.

Talking of Keith, I see he is keeping up my suggested therapy. Keep it up, Keith lad. Your need to replace whatever inadequacies you have with pointless rhetoric will pass and you will soon get your superiority complex back.

Your original claim that many prominent Labour Party members said that the Labour Party "is more antisemitic than any other." You are now telling us that that means the same thing as their saying "Labour has a serious antisemitism problem."

Point one. No it isn't the same thing. Hands up all those who think those two statements are the same thing.

Point two. I asked for the many names of those prominent members who said that "Labour is more antisemitic than any other." You can't provide those names. Do you know why not? Because you made that up. It wasn't just a careless, passing verbal slip-up. It was a deliberate attempt to slip a downright lie past us. There are no "many prominent members" who said that Labour is more antisemitic than any other. That's what you said, and it simply isn't true. In fact, I doubt whether even one prominent member made such a statement. I'm not trying to catch you out. I just read posts carefully. You should know that by now. You are sussed. Caught red-handed. Bang to rights. You've lied. You caught yourself out by not giving the other people posting to this thread any credit for being even faintly astute. You can't debate, Keith. You simply have to win and you'll twist, turn and lie in your teeth in order to delude yourself that you've done so. In all the years I've been posting here, I've never seen you win anything. On the contrary, I've seen you lose a lot. Your credibility and your reputation for starters.

Steve, My case is that Labour has a serious problem with anti-Semitism which other parties do not have.
I have clarified what I said. You now know exactly what I meant.
You can no longer pretend to think I meant something else and attack that.

Prominent Labour people and the leadership have said that Labour has a serious problem with anti-Semitism, not other parties.
Labour Jews have complained about the Party's anti-Semitism but none from other parties have.
It is just Labour.

Point two. I asked for the many names of those prominent members who said that "Labour is more antisemitic than any other." You can't provide those names

I have provided some of the names of those who said Labour has a serious problem with anti-Semitism.
The Deputy Leader, the Mayor of London and the entire NEC which includes the whole leadership.
There are more names in the threads that I would need to look up.
They have not suggested that any other party has such a problem, and the Jews in other parties have not complained of it.
Only Labour, and that is my whole and only case.

But this is not a debating forum and this is not a debate. Debates have rules which ensure they do not go on too long and they are judged by someone who is not participating.

The two are not the same thing at all. Only a debate results in winners or losers and that is usually decided by a vote. It has been stated quite categorically that this is not a debating forum and this thread is blatantly (or is it categorically?) not a debate. I could be unkind and say that you only try to debate on here because you have either been evicted from all proper debating forums of you know very well that you would not stand a cat in hell's chance in a real debate.

It is not a debating forum it is a discussion forum - vast difference.

Shrivelled little gnome. As I said, the potty putty has more sense! What a quaint contradictory little fellow you are. You really must make up your mind as to what this forum is. Your constant ducking and diving, bending and twisting of definitions make the more rational of us quite dizzy.

I have. It is a discussion forum. I stated that quite plainly did I not and it has been confirmed by your mentor. You really must pay more attention to what the grown ups say Inanes.

BTW, Inanes, your 'recent find' from the Torygraph dates back to April 2016, was written by someone described as a "parlaimentary sketchwriter" and opens with "Beat this for a piece of spin. Today the Labour party was in trouble over remarks one of its MPs, Naz Shah, made online in 2014 ". Trouble is will all of that, as you seem to need most things explaining to you is that:

A) It is old news
B) It is written by someone who cannot be described as a journalist and
C) In 2014 Shah was not even in the running to be an MP

No marks for content or effort I'm afraid. Must try harder.

Dave, the Shah story is old news, but you started it up again.
Thanks.
I enjoyed rubbing your noses in it again.

Steve and Jim say her remarks were not anti-Semitic and she did not advocate the transportation of Jews.
She freely admits to both.

Do you still refuse to say if you support Steve and Jim on thatt?

Why are you so reluctant to actually engage in the discussion, instead of just sniping at contributors and stirring things up?

but you started it up again.

Are you sure about that, Keith? I have just looked back and I found that the first recent mention was just to put Anne Marie Morris's comment in context

Putting it in perspective, it was not said in a racist context, and it was just one person's gross stupidity.

So, pretty much on par with Naz Shah's comments?

DtG


A bit more of your alt-truth I suppose Keith. I shall not burst your bubble though. If you think that you have rubbed someone's nose in anything, who am I to disillusion you.

Dave your comparison was highly contentious and started the current debate, so I was stating fact not "alt-truth."

Why will you not state your position on what she said?
Jim has.
Steve has.
I have.
What are you so afraid of??

What are you even doing on a thread you refuse to contribute to?
Just personal attacks and shit stirring.

One of those quotes ascribed to me in Keith's vacuous debate post has nothing to do with me at all.

Found it.
The first one was copied from the search list and wrongly linked your name to it.
I am so sorry, and I withdraw that quote, which was actually of Donuel.

The others are all copied from actual posts.

What are you even doing on a thread you refuse to contribute to?

I shall copy your response to my question a few days back.

Why not?

But, just in case you did not notice, I have contributed and I have provide evidence to refute your contention. You just chose to ignore it.

little gnomie.
All news is old news. The future cannot be news because it has not yet happened and therefore facts cannot be discussed.
b) I did not know you had to be a journalist to report news. Do you also need a degree in meedja studies? or does it have to be a mmember in good standing with assorted little gnomes.
c) The thread title is uk labour party discussion, what relevance is being an mp or nor an mp?

As you pathetic offering adds nothing to the discussion, only inanities, I presume you just popped in for a troll

Anyway here a little rabbit for the ferrets to chew on.
"Labour's shadow mental health minister Barbara Keeley claimed she was "confused about" her "Jeremys" when she appeared to contradict Jez's stated position on free movement this morning. During a bumpy media round, 5 Live's Nicky Campbell asked Keeley:

    Campbell: "Jeremy Corbyn has been explicit in saying that freedom of movement must end. That puts us up the creek without a paddle doesn't it?"

    Keeley: "Well it makes the situation worse."

    Campbell: "So why has he said it must end, freedom of movement?"

    Keeley: "It's a strange thing… it's a strange thing that he said that."

When Campbell pointed out that she was at odds with Corbyn's public position, Keeley rowed back and claimed she had in fact been talking about Jeremy Hunt, saying: "You've confused me about Jeremys". Lucky they had the same name, eh…

An hour earlier, Keeley did a Diane on ITV's Good Morning Britain, claiming that a 1% increase in public sector pay would cost £460 billion. The IFS says increasing public sector pay by 1% would cost between £1.5 and 2 billion. To be fair, she was only out by £458 billion…

Before Corbyn appointed Keeley to the shadow cabinet, she said of him:"the current state of the party means we will not be able to mount an effective front bench opposition." Quite…

Hard to believe she is the mental health shadow secretary! Is her next promotion to shadow educashun secretary. I hope she is literate because she surely ain't numerate.
