Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
"Further confirmation of a black hole!"
Further evidence of an inability to provide an answer
Your behaviour here is reminiscent of a fractious child running around shouting "knickers" and "poo" in order to shock the adults - outrageous statements such as yours tend to amuse rather than shock
Up to now modern Britain actually has a proud history of taking in refugees from conflicts; sadly, our present generation has allowed that to be expunged from our psyche
Brexit was sold on a campaign of preventing both economic immigrants and refugees from wars we helped create
If pre and wartime Britain had adopted the attitude we are now adopting towards fleeing today's tyranny, there would be far less Jews in the workd than there are.
Now you are suggesting it is acceptable to benefit from products obtained through slave-labour-like conditions - not funny - not clever - and certainly not human
"It has reopened divisions in the party over Brexit and other issues."
If you care to read some of the commentary around what is happening in todays Labour Party rather than seizing every opportunity to denigrate it, you will find that the historical divisions have never gone away - there is still a battle between those who wish to use politics as a meal ticket and those who wish to return to the old principles
That's what many of the claims of "anti-semitism", sexual harassment", et-al are about
Owen was a failed contender for Corbyn's job and he is "reluctant to rule out the question of whether there are too many immigrants".
Personally, I am undecided on the question of his call for a second referendum - Corbyn seems to be following "the will of the people" approach" -hmmm?
Not sure of that, but I see the point of uniting the party around a strong, principled policy
The superfiacial approach you are taking is no less politicking than that taken by Owen and the rest of the dissidents - any stick to beat... will do
