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.

Telegraph may only be available for a set time for non-subscribers. I have had the same problem with Guardian on line.

Just for interest...

This is an article from the Jewish Chronicle about Jon Lansman...

Thank you for those posts.

So Telegraph subscribers can probably still see the original link.

I find it strange that all the gransnetters who have worked for decades for the Labour Party, do not seem to know of him at all. Or are prefering not to say anything of what they do know about him, either good or bad.
And yet he is such a big player right now.

DaphneBroon Sun 14-Aug-16 18:31:23

Maybe they just do not share your interest. "Horses "- "water" - "drinking " and all that.

The world extends far beyond gransnet Noooooooo. That's a step too far, Obieone.
it isn't just gransnetters who read gransnet do you think there's a possibility that the infamous Jonathan Lansman might be taking a peek, how exciting.

Anya Sun 14-Aug-16 19:25:02

Peck, peck, peck.

obieone Sun 14-Aug-16 19:29:15

No petra, but if you click on the "gransnet in the news" at the bottom of the page, there is an article most weeks in the media that has been picked from gransnet.

Maggiemaybe Sun 14-Aug-16 20:29:00

I've never noticed that link, obieone. Thank you for pointing it out.

DaphneBroon Sun 14-Aug-16 20:29:06

Peck, peck, pick, pick or peek, peek?

Maybe not this topic,this week though.

Anya Mon 15-Aug-16 08:08:35

Doesn't do you any credit DB

DaphneBroon Mon 15-Aug-16 09:25:47

Peck, peck, peck

Nor did that, Anya, but whatever floats your boat. As somebody sad elsewhere
Pots/kettles

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???

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

Your antics.

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.

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.

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

Eh? confused

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

Hopefully things should improve in future.

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

Eh? confused too

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

You're easily confused Daffy ???

I think not.

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

<ducks>

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

Are you trying to write ducks hmm

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 22:17:20

Or have you been at the wine ?
