Momentum are getting stronger

I have a family tree on the wall of my spare room, dj, though it is mostly filled with Janes, Marys and Charleses, ag. labs and domestics all.

Mine's rolled up in the wardrobe, Elegran.
It's like a roll of wallpaper because there are lots of Scandinavian names on it. They were easy to trace for my in-laws.

Mine ran into a brick wall at the Smiths. Every family tree eventually hits a Smith.

Mine hasnt but fascinating stuff though

No Smiths in mine, but lots of common Welsh surnames as parts of the family moved to Wales and married there.

Wonder if any babies born this year will be named Momentum

Moggmentum's voting record. He really cares for ordinary people. Make a good Tory leader.

His family got their money from owning coal mines. I wonder what sort of employers they were?

One of the 2 reasons I have sent my whole life teetering on the edge of voting Labour without ever doing so has been its underlying tendency towards mob rule, whether called Momentum or Militant, or nothing at all, just lurking in the corners of the party waiting it's chance.

The other, is their economic incompetence.

Did you watch QT last night, Monica?

monica you are believing the lies

Conservative Party has doubled the debt since they came in in 2010.
Is that competence? Is that what you expected them to do when you voted for them?

I haven't actually seen anyone suggest that the Labour Party wants to move to a one party state RaR. Where did you come across that? In truth, I see it more from the Tories who totally believe no one can do it better than them - as long as we don't mind if they become rich and others poor in the process.

This is the sort of attack that is made if you are a party, within a capitalist country, with a far-right capitalist government, and you fight for social justice and minority rights. These left-wingers they stand for such awful things don't they

I'm afraid Moggmentum just makes me think of support for the cat!

Good post gg

I agree Monica 'lurking in the corners awaiting their chance' [grins] that sums up Momentum well.

Perhaps you would like to tell us about momentum rose

It's a new name for Militant Tendency.

Perhaps you would like to Google them ww

And of course you know all about them, too.
You don't know anything about any of them, just what you read in the Times.

Well i dont need to but just wondered if you know as much as you like to suggest you know

dj your posts make me laugh sometimes.......

So i take that to be a no then rose

Momentum sre doing more than lurking, they have been lurking for some years under different names, now as Momentum they are striking with force . They have placed the country's most admired Grandfather - not my description of him - in the top spot and when he wins the election stand by for the militants to crawl out from the woodwork, McDonald will be in power, the unions will drag us back to strikes every couple of weeks , we can but hope this time it will not be grieving families prevented from burying their dead relatives .
