I dont actually know anything about him. But I think that a person who set up Momentum with apparent such success, needs to be talked about.

Interesting Jalima, so not for all

Jalima Tue 16-Aug-16 10:25:32

Perhaps that was me posting the link which I hadn't realised was there until obieone pointed it out hmm
Careful - anything we say may be used in evidence against us shock

Here's a picture of Jon Lansman:

Scary, eh!

'Left Futures' of which he is the founder member, welcomes all on the Left as readers and contributors, so presumably those who are interested but not on the left are not welcome and will be sent to the scaffold if found reading it

Apart from the odd digression re wine and a "warning off" I think that is possibly unfair, we are trying very hard to keep it on topic and awaiting opinions and comments from other members on JL and Momentum. But as obieone has said
it seems no one knows much about him apart from what is on the Internet. Or if they do they do not want to post about him at all on an open forum

Good morning everyone! It seems that this thread has got a little off topic (to say the least). Can we remind you that derailing a thread isn't very helpful to the OP and to those who wish to engage in this topic, so if it's no longer of interest to you perhaps look for discussion elsewhere. Thanks!

I know, Jalima! I daren't click on any of the links. Doing that would lead to a whole new world of time-wasting, and heaven knows I'm already heavily invested in putting off all the things I should be doing.

Jalima Mon 15-Aug-16 23:27:58

well, I had never noticed that folks!

Very odd.
Everyone else in the Labour Party seems to be known except for him.

Night Daphne sweet dreams.

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 22:26:50

moon

daphnedill Mon 15-Aug-16 22:23:30

No, apart from the two links I posted.

DaphneBroon Mon 15-Aug-16 22:23:17

Well it would be refreshing to have some actual comments or opinions on Lansman. So far it seems Petra Daphnedill and myself have actually added anything in addition to a link from obieone.

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 22:22:37

No.

Have you?

daphnedill Mon 15-Aug-16 22:18:27

Oh for goodness sake!

Have you found out anything else about Jon Lansman?

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 22:17:20

Or have you been at the wine ?

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 22:16:28

Or is that supposed to be a sort of 'cor, luv a duck' sort of greeting?

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 22:14:23

Are you trying to write ducks hmm

DaphneBroon Mon 15-Aug-16 22:03:44

<ducks>

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 21:58:08

You're easily confused Daffy ???

I think not.

DaphneBroon Mon 15-Aug-16 21:55:00

Eh? confused too

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 21:53:14

Hopefully things should improve in future.

Ana Mon 15-Aug-16 21:51:52

Eh? confused

petra Mon 15-Aug-16 21:35:05

Devorgilla I can only speak for myself, but it's not something that can be discussed on an open forum.

Devorgilla Mon 15-Aug-16 20:11:47

Can anyone enlighten me as to why Obieone is getting such a lot of ridicule for posting about Jon Lansman? Surely if he is the 'kingmaker' he is of interest. I agree with you Niggly, not very pleasant comments being made here for no obvious reason I can see.

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 10:05:36

Your antics.

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 10:04:33

hmm interesting ....kindred spirits???

Don't mess with me Daphne you're out of your league and you're antics have been noted by more than jingl and myself.

History repeating itself???
