Labour MP's harassment

No, jane, if you do not want to read it, it does not matter.
It's quite sad, though, that no new writers will get your attention.
He's not a sixth former or junior school pupil. That to my mind is rather sneering, too. Many sixth formers can write very intelligently, as can many junior school pupils.

dj I prefer to read articles by people of merit and who have some reputation as good writers/thinkers. It is fair to assume that anyone writing for the BBC or one of the quality papers is probably worth reading. But any sixth-former, or possibly junior school pupil, can set up a blog. It doesn't mean they're worth reading.
As I said, I tried and failed to penetrate Chris Lloyd's deathless prose.
If you post links without any explanation, that implies that you endorse them.
Instead of sneering, could you tell me who Chris Lloyd is and explain the merit of his writing?

Following you around, durhamjen? Ha, ha, you flatter yourself!

She's behind you

Hello again, Ana. Still following me around?

Or indeed if jane or anyone else chooses not to read it it doesn't matter at all. No need for the rather rude 'can't be bothered', durhamjen.

"But I’m sure very few of the Blairite bleaters and Tory twit-tweeters actually read the article. Certainly none of them took issue with its substance. They saw a headline that set their hive-mind going, in a setting — the STW website — that could be exploited to make partisan hay, and off they went. Of course, except for that first Tweeter, no one ever contacted me to find out if I actually was a STW “activist” or member, as they happily and witlessly repeated around the country."

8th paragraph, bags.
Blairites and Tories in equal measure. I do not understand why you single out Labour party members.

Janea, do you only read articles or blogs by people that you know?
Read the article and then you will find out why you should.
If you can't be bothered, it does not matter at all.

Gandhi was hardly a saint, in fact a lot of deaths and riots can be attributed to him.

Gandhi wasn't above criticism anyway. Nobody's perfect.

What about the Floyd who used to cook with wine? sometimes he even put it in the food!

Oops! Too much
You still haven't enlightened me as to who Chris Floyd is, dj, or perhaps more importantly, why I should respect his views.

Corbyn ain't no Gandhi!

You still havent

Lovely Ann

That was to annesixty of course.

Awww! how sweet is that?

You are mistaken in your conclusion about my reading, dj. Please address the issue instead of sneering. Your recommendation of that article suggested to me that you don't approve of sneering, but perhaps that pnly applies to other people's sneering.

Check the eighth paragraph of the article where it says most of the people at a certain meeting were on the right of the Party.

I will see if this works, all fingers crossed!!

You don't need to convince me Iam64 I am already convinced that STWC are a group to give a wide berth to.Corbyn should distance himself from them and condemn some of what they say.If he doesn't , then I'm not so sure of how 'pleasant' he actually is, hmmn.

I compared Corbyns sincerity and philosophy with Ghandi ,

Anya I am truly such a technophobe ( I am very old and decrepit after all) that I don't know how to send a photograph from my new Kindle fire, but he really was outstanding
I really have disrailed this thread, and do I care....

Of course some genuine people will be involved in STWC. A number of my pals have recently left the organisation because of the ridiculous line taken about the International Brigade and what seems like minimisation and denial that Daesh/IS is a murderous entity which no one with a grasp of history could possibly support.

I'm sure there are some genuine people in the STWC, ie.Pacifists, however there are also a mixture of bullies and loony tunes.

You obviously only read part of the article, bags. Not surprising, really.
