BS: Momentum scum

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

yeah.. and of course the tories don't have any factions of hard line extreme ideologue thug scum
ready and willing to drag Britain down the crapper with them...

We woke up snowed in...

No recycle bins being collected today..
no vehicles are moving on our street...

Worst part is the wife was told not to go to work,
so has spent the afternoon in the living room listening to Max Boyce on alexa..

Given the choice, I'm upstairs in my computer den...

and gladly opt for an occasional dose of mudcat and Keith...

We do robo. It is just that some get along in a different direction to others. We will all get there but our routes will be various and many!

Concentrate on our similarities rather than our differences and shake a hand rather than your fist.

We will achieve whirled peas in the end

His awkward embarrassing uncle. Bonzo simply doesn't do anything left of Genghis Khan. Therefore I'm suspicious.

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.

Sorry, you can't just claim that one for yourselves. John Redwood (sometime aspirant to leadership of the Conservative Party) also failed to sing The National Anthem when Secretary of State for Wales: Here

Bob - you are an independant autonomous citizen of the international world wide internet
which eminently qualifies you to be a vastly superior expert
on all matters pertaining to any nations's political parties and politicians.
You are always entireley right about any issue you debate...
We tremble at the mere mention of your mighty name, and cower meekly in your presence,
whilst praising you most highly and offering you tributes....

Is that getting any closer to the truth about you...??????????

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...!!!!!
