The - we don't have a Labour thread, thread

If you say so....<sighs again€

€????

Maybe he likes wedding cake

petra

petra!!!!!

. Could be Petra , he equals Trump I think

Did you complain anniebach when Jess Phillips amusedly recounted the time she told Diane Abbott to "Fuck off" and when asked what the response was, she said with a chuckle,"She fucked off".

Simon Danczuk was suspended following a number of rather unsavoury incidents involving ex-wives and partners. Then he sent "sexually explicit" texts to a 17 year old woman would had asked him for a job in his constituency office.

Seamus Milne has been married for 25 years so it seems he isn't a serial philanderer. We know full well that he isn't the first man - or woman - to commit adultery. It is just something else to chuck at Corbyn - though goodness knows why. After all, Conservative MPs Boris Johnson, John Major, Edwina Currie, Zac Goldsmith, Steve Double (evangelical Christian and former pastor), Tim Yeo, etc. etc. etc., have had affairs. In that, they are no different from many married people in the rest of the population and Labour and Lib Dem MPs, although those like John Major with his "Back to Basics" campaign are perhaps deservedly accused of being hypocrites. If we were to judge a party on that criteria, then we probably wouldn't support any party.

"Breeding" - like the "breeding" of members of our royal family and the aristocracy? I think you'll find there are not a shining example of faithfulness or decency.

eloe an oasis of calm and common sense in a sea of hypocracy

Eleothan, we don't have the same values of good breeding obviously

As ever Eloe (nb*Ana*) well said. I'm clearly missing something funny on here with all the . You are obsessed with Corbyn. ab and therefore completely unable to be factual or balanced about him.

Seamus Milne doesn't suffer from lack of breeding, he's as upper class as they come! And please don't assume that he was caught out the first time - that's improbable.
It's not about throwing anything at Corbyn. He's not responsible for anyone else's behaviour. He's just responsible for how it deals (or doesn't) with it.

'values of good breeding' what on earth does that phrase mean? Breeding? WTAF!

Primrose upper class, breeding? What on earth are you talking about? What on earth is 'breeding' unless you're into racing horses or pedigree dogs? Utterly meaningless and ridiculous words

breeding. Do they go to stud? Are they registered with the Kennel club?

Just distraction primrose, takes attention from Corbyn and the three Mrs Corbyns and the shadow chancellor not having the ability to conduct himself in public with a scrap of dignity

Sorry all. It's not a word I usually use, but in this instance, the standard dictionary definition will suffice. "The good manners regarded as characteristic of the aristocracy and conferred by heredity".
This thread really typifies the issues in the Labour Party - so much infighting about trivia that doesn't matter and a total inability to engage on the point in question. I despair at times.

Really really really boring ab

Primrose that's a really really stupid concept isn't it in the 21st century?

primrose you obviously haven't spent much time in Tory company

Good manners conferred by heredity - WTF ? ( clearly I have no breeding - well no good breeding anyway)

Actually I am still cross about the use of the word 'breeding'. Good manners conferred by the heredity aristocracy! I cannot trace my ancestry back more than two generations, so have no idea about where I stand in the pecking order. But that has no bearing on my manners, or any other aspects of my character.

Bored Rigsby? explains the sighs

Well Rigby46, it's not a concept I subscribe to. In my experience, class boundaries are pretty permeable when it comes to bad behaviour. But I do understand the use of it in conversation. I'm sorry you don't like the dictionary definition, but I didn't write that.

I'm sure you do understand the point I was trying to make though.

And I totally agree with you - this is boring.

What does WTF stand for please?

What the f**k
