Current Affairs The Labour Party

Stop weaponising the murder of Jo Cox.

I beg.

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

I still don't get it tbh (aside from finding it a bit odd in an era in which a couple of MPs have been murdered by loonies and pretty much all have received horrendous abuse online and in person, so storming an event and shouting the odds is perhaps not "the" best approach to take if you want to get listened to), but Labour are the opposition, so even if they nod and say yep, shrill lady, I agree it's terrible that women in Gaza are using tents for sanitary towels, what does it actually achieve in terms of changes for those women? It makes that lady perhaps feel better about herself but that won't help the people in Gaza any.

Just seems like a lot of protest these days is to make the protestors feel good about themselves rather than driving any meaningful change.

If Hamas released the hostages and stopped firing rockets into Israel it would create a head of pressure that would not play into Netanyahu hands.

Sadly for the people of Gaza, it doesn't look like this will be on the agenda as it doesn't support the Iranian regional strategy.

…..maybe one for PMQs;

”We learn from the Covid Enquiry that the Scottish First Minister sent some damning WhatsApp messages but deleted her own mobile records. Do you think it raises major suspicion when key Covid witnesses announce they no longer have vital mobile telephone evidence? It does make you wonder what they have to hide.”

Who's doing that? We've had two politicians killed by people in recent years, and numerous others report threats of violence against them. I'm just saying that in this context it's not "that" surprising that security/police chose to get rid of someone protesting while clearly upset rather than allow them to proceed unhindered.

Do you remember the woman who confronted Braverman at an event and compared her rhetoric to that from the 30s (from direct experience)? She was allowed her platform, but I dare say had she ran up onto the platform and started shouting she would have been bundled off in the same way and for the same reasons. I sympathise with both of their causes but you've got to be a bit sensible (I'm trying not to be cynical and think that being bundled off was part of the plan to make the video seem more "newsworthy").

You can’t do that and not expect to get removed.

It’s like moaning about that just stop oil fella at our game, being removed.

I get that they want answers but the delivery of the “questions” was far too heavy handed.

TBF a lot of the anger within Labour is not really aimed at forcing change in Gaza, its about how the concerns of 95% of the membership are once again being at best ignored and at worst actively opposed by the people at the top.

It is bad enough when this is about candidate selection, social or economic policy but we are here talking about something that is so obviously wrong that immense contortions are required to back it and even then they look absurd or positively criminal. People think, entirely correctly, that they are being treated as mugs.

Great party

And there it is

 

[tsubaki]

And there it is

Fewer people died in the Bosnian genocide, fewer people were forcibly displaced, and it took place over a longer period of time than Gaza.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Great party

Well at she now has the qualification to be a Tory minister.
