Huge shame that hard left Momentum thugs have forced out yet another decent, long-standing and locally-effective Labour representative out. This is a small foretaste of the kind of thing that would happen nationally if Corbyn/McDonnell ever get into real power

No recycle bins being collected today..

Worst part is the wife was told not to go to work,

i don't like the idea of momentum or anyone else telling idealistic new members how to be more properly lefty. however, my local branch really needs some new energy. 4 of us are struggling to have an effect and i've nearly given up the incredibly tedious meetings while reserving my efforts to do everything i can to campaign for a socialist government. the idea that momentum or corbyn or us lefties is a threat to anyone in the UK is ridiculous.

So actually this is not a person. It is an assumption that such a person might exist. This whole thread is based upon an OP which is utter bollocks.

On Question Time last night Ken Clark (who grew up in the shadow of the colliery - ho hum!) told us that Corbyn was a rabid anti EU man.

Given that the Momentum gang are all mainly remainers, who see the Leave lot as one step away from being a member of English League - you have to admire the way JC has retained the support of Momentum. Great brinkmanship. No wonder - you can't really make out where he stands.

There they go again making it personal when put in the embarrassing situation of having to defend a party that calls itself a friend of terrorists, has to expel numerous members for anti-Semitism, appoints a homophobic racist as an LGBTQ advisor etc, etc. I guess when that's all you've got it's better than nothing.

back on topic....

Defending the Labour party...???

Well, it's a political party.. so by it's very nature there are bound to be a few oddballs, cranks,
and some quite rotten & corrupt people attracted to join it's ranks.
Same can be said for a proportion of it's most zealous activists and a minority of it's rapidly increasing members & supporters...

Some of it's decisions and actions can seem quite contradictory and baffling, even embarrassing...

Like I said , it's a political; party...

But on balance, objective consensus, might indicate that the other major party and it's supporter's are far far worse...

In a straight decision between labour and tories, i'd for one be more inclined to give benefit of the doubt to Labouir..

warts and all......

Ther's always room for umprovement, and Labour definitely makes immense effort to police itself openly in public.

Tories may be more keen to hit the panic button and implement damage limitation cover up shut down mode...!!!!!
