Current Affairs The Labour Party

[magicjuan]

So subscribe to my version of Labour, or you belong with the Daily Mail mob?

Thats what "not that arsed" folk find dead weird.

No because the 'not that arsed folk' followed Blair and Mandelson and usurped the actual labour party and turned it into the SDP where people could still benefit from Thatcherism but cleanse their social conscience from time to time with a bit of cool Britannia.
17 years of tory rule we'd just had. 17 years. It's why they got in, not this myth of 'becoming electable'.
So, if someone utters Telegraph mentality it's because they feel comfortable surrounded by Chukas and Lucindas but should actually go form a new build 'centrist' partee
Why do people think Corbyn is extreme left, is it because they're told he is?

And back on track, do you not see the point about denigrating the rank and file or are you erm 'not arsed'?

 

[summerisle]

Whether the Labour party could change any of the appalling statistics below is a moot point, but, I'm willing to give them a chance, because no other party has any desire to change anything.

That reference to LP members as dogs completely neutralised the lies he wanted to propagate, which underlines not only how undemocratic he and his ilk are but how thick they are too.

...and then he doubles down on that self-inflicted wound today by crying out that the LP are "institutionally racist"...a step too far even for his fellow free-market frauds who have castigated him for it.

To think that nobhead once talked himself up as a Labour leader. He's as thick as two short planks - which is an insult to short planks, btw.

My reference to the "not arsed folk" meant the wider electorate, not LP members.

As in, they havnt got a clue/dont care what internal machinations are going on in the party. Labour Party members clearly do.

Corbyn has managed to get a hell of a lot of not arsed people to actually be 'arsed'.
Blair got the not arsed to remain not arsed but still be fed up enough to bother.
Politics eh?

Him and Berger came as a pair some years back. The bright new things destined for Tony's crown.
Part of me wants to limit MPs to two terms, but we'd lose the Skinners of this world. The upside is the careerist element and the likes of Chucky would evaporate.

I think they were arsed before mate, but didnt see the LP as a place for them. Now they do, which is sound. I just dont think their protestations will hold much sway with the non LP "not that arsed" rump of the electorate. Might be wrong.

You can see on that feller's face what he is: an entitled brat who's had a red carpet laid out for him under the Blair-Brown Gang years but who was never good enough to be an MP nevermind a leader of a political party.

He's chummied up to the usual variety of grotesque lobbyists from businesses to foreign powers for years and nurtured the media to present his profile positively for a tilt one day at the leadership. The realisation that he's NEVER EVER going to be that leader has been an absolute kick in the balls for him and he's been screaming like a hysterical chiild ever since.

An utter spanner of a man who's going to try and cause bedlam and wreck Labour's chances come what may...all because his career is over. The day cant come quickly enough to volley him and all the other neo-liberal entryists in the LP right down the road.

They purposely set about policy the young vote, knowing full well the opportunities such as home owning and secure employment were rabidly disappearing for more and more younger people. Of course more older enlightened people, aware what waits for them when they require support to live a life in austerity ravaged Britain, also like the idea of a fairer Britain under centre left Government lead by Corbyn etc...

I think Labour were massively ahead of the Tories for all age groups < 65.

 

[summerisle]

Tory.

 

[magicjuan]

Tory.

Between now and then there'll be a lot more cry-arsing and a lot of booby traps laid as all the careerists scuttle off to their shiney new gravy train.
