Labour MPs

Annie I heard the Margaret Beckett interview - very thoughtful and measured in my opinion.

This is what I heard of MB years ago. It seems soon that while you are not prepared to do any of your own research, or indeed, at times, any at all, you are prepared to listen to tittle tattle.

Jackthelad you have obviously led an interesting life but I do not understand what you believe people are wishing for.

Blairite now seems ( on here) to be the insult of the day to be applied to all Labour MPs who 'dare' to question Corbyn's ( very iffy) judgement and pronouncements. It's a bad joke that he has become Leader of the Opposition.I watched his speech the other day, good , if he had been addressing Camdem Young Socialists on a wet Sunday.Awful otherwise.
Difficult for Labour to ditch him for a while, but of course it's inevitable that they will find a way.

Jackthelad is, IMO telling Corbyn fans to be careful what they wish for, ie. A weak Labour government in power with a weak Laeder in thrall to the unions.That is my interpretation of his post.

Annie and Jen I have just been watching an interview about minimum wage which included John Mills of JML (they pay at least the living wage). At the end the interviewer wanted to discuss John Mills stopping giving large donations to the LP. He wasn't stopping, he said, it wasn't true. Oh, says interviewer, so has Jeremy Corbyn convinced you. No, says John Mills, the articles were never true. She looked so nonplussed. He went on to say that the LP has always been a broad church, that he agrees with some of what JC says but not all but that a discussion needed to be had and that was what was happening. I think this was the point at which the interviewer picked her jaw up off the floor.

The press often spins in a pro right-wing anti left-wing way. Very occasionally it actually lies. Why do people still not understand this.

Gracesgran, yes Margaret's interview was as expected, calm, sensible and with acceptance of the results of the party membership decision

Considering she wasn't in Millibands shadow cabinet and isn't in Corbyns shadow cabinet I am rather puzzled by soon's view that she is appointed to cabinets because she agrees with the leader

Gracesgran, I heard it too, some believe lies because they want so desperately to believe them

"seems to be just you telling me what I can or cannot post"

Not at all. That is how you choose to read my post.

I was answering your post to me of 30 Sept 09 02.

My thought is when somebody mentions ' we are all entitled to our opinions ' it is stating the b-----g obvious.

If the statement 'we are all entitled to our opinions' is used in answer to a preceding post I simply find no worth nor merit in it being said. I just read it and think 'OK but what is your opinion / do you even have an opinion of the post you are responding to?

'We are all entitled to our opinions ' is a term used generally to respond to a post/poster when the user has nothing to add / discuss. It's a ne na na nanna approach that only seeks to try and put another poster back in his/her box but I think it actually has a reverse effect. IMHO

Just because I have that opinion I don't see how that equates to 'telling somebody what they may or may not post'. That is actually farthest from the truth, I want to hear thoughts and opinions , not stifle them.

So what is the point of your post, POGS?
