Labour party latest

No my remark was not inapproiate, it was honest, if you want to believe this country is free of homophobia then up to you . So what was inappropriate ? Saying Angela was lesbian? If so then I dissgree

As you ask yet another personal question I will respond.

Yes I did notice what Anniebach wrote the first time round, I found it tasteless and thought to let that sort of comment be seen by others for their interpretation. I found the absolute lack of understanding in the second post as to how tasteless her words were however worth commentating on.

Equally I have to surmise by asking me the question you have either implies you don't see any problem or you are making a point of trying to belittle me. Either way I will leave it to others to read into your question what they will.

Sorry annie I do not understand your last post and don't see how it addresses my concern. Are you simpĺy anti-gay? Could you please clarify?

The ones who condemn the church for accepting gays , who are not honest and say I think it wrong - untill behind closed doors .

POGS, you had written four posts before Monica queried what Annie had written. If you were so offended by it, why did you not say something then? Or did you not realise?

Acknowledge (please!)

It will also bother the parents of hard-working, well-respected women who happen to be lesbians.
Despite the criticism your posts often attract, I've always thought you've stuck to your principles and argued your case with passion and conviction.
You have disappointed me with this attitude.
I think you should acknoeledge that your remark was inappropriate.

Anniebach

Standing by a comment like that just what do you think a closet homophobic sounds like

Good lord!

Monica, I doubt very much you will ever regret anything you say , to regret what one says is because one admits one wax in the wrong, mistaken or had caused hurt,

Yes I said a not well dressed lesbian , does this bother me? No, will it bother the closest homophobic voters in this country? Yes

2 quick responses there anniebach so would you care to explain the significance of your 'lesbian' remark?

POGS, if I knew what you meant I wouldn't have asked you what you meant. Yes I am a very strong Labour Party supporter , no idea what this has to do with thinking
Eagle brave. I may be strong labour but I have no problem in voicing what in my opinion is good or not in any action by the Labour Party or labour MP's . Always said if Blair and Brown had stood for leadership I would have voted for Brown , marched against the .iraq War ,for me it was wrong ,I didn't care who voted for or sgsinst it, for me it was wrong

Anniebach Did you dismiss Angela Eagle as a not well dressed LESBIAN. Shame on you. Since when has someone's sexuality come into the issue.

I will not say anymore, I might say something I would later regret.

Anniebach on the 'Who to replace Corbyn' thread I said she would need a tin hat and tin knickers .

Your reply was "I agree she will, this is why I think her brave".

I say even Anniebach because you are undoubtedly a poster who has made it well known at every opportunity you are a devout Labour member. You know exactly what I meant.

She may or may not be lacking in charisma but why does it matter that she's a lesbian? That sounds very dismissive!
Scottish tory leader Ruth Davidson has made an impression nationally -she's gay but doesn't seem to be dismissed because of her sexuality.
Kezia Dugdale is still leader of Scottish labour party 'despite' being a lesbian.
Is Scotland intrinsically more tolerant?

I think she does have nerves of steel.

Thank you.

I have a firm belief McDonnell has used him from the start. He is like Nicollo Machiavelli , either him or a coward who pushes his best pal to the front of the line of fire.

POGS,njust what do you by 'even Anniebach'?

She does Daphne , realy no different to Corbyn in having strong beliefs, difference is the party comes before self for her . The more MDonald gives interviews the more I wonder who is determined to lead the party, I could be so wrong but I do not trust him

Look at Durhamjens post on one of the 'other' Corbyn threads re her chances.

I maintain she will need nerves of steel if she goes ahead, even Anniebach has called her brave for taking it on.

How do you know that, Ana?

She was my late father's MP. She won her seat in 1992 against a long-standing Conservative MP. My father was horrified, especially when he found out she was a lesbian. After a couple of years, my father (a committed Conservative) grudgingly admitted she was good and nobody's fool. She also believes in what she says.

I do like her, she's witty and clever, but she wouldn't get the mainstream votes.

She was amusing when in opposition with William Hague, they both gave as good as they got but with humour in the mix.

I think it's her 'pitch' that grates.

True, this not well dressed lesbian is lacking in charisma

No charisma there.
