Those elderly, biased, blinkered people who would condemn a movement and the young people who believe in a better society simply because they dislike one individual can't forget those (unfortunately)
There may be a better way to do things but perhaps some of us would rather there was a more moderate leader of the Labour Party so that they could get elected and do them.
I don't think anti-semitism and talk of lynching women is a better way to do things. Sorry if some disagree.
This 'It isn't necessary to endure hardship to know what is right.' - absolutely and totally. Of course, but a suspicion of Corbyn, McDonnell and Momentum does not mean one does not want what is right for all. Being moderate does not mean one does not have a sense of decency - in fact probably more of a sense of decency than what is happening with some on the far left and Momentum.
I don't hate Corbyn. I dislike what is happening and I think he is another 'useful idiot', a puppet.
Try this as well en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatrice_Webb en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Webb,_1st_Baron_Passfield Not really middle class either-more aristocracy but proof that socialism has never been the property of the working class and that you don't need to experience hardship to appreciate that there is a better way to do things (which was the argument presented!)
Born illegitimate and in poverty in 1856 and working in the coal mines from the age of ten. Yet Keir Hardie was to become the main founder of the Labour Party. An active trade unionist, he was sacked by the pit owners and became a trade union official, living in Cumnock with his wife, Lillee, where he was active in a local church.
Not paying or contributing towards the finances of someone who is not comfortably off is acceptable then? But many people are paid to care for a relative should they just do it because it is 'helping out" Even though they may be financially struggling?
Oh I know GGMk2 but sometimes I can't resist it They have such a blinkered and narrow vision of life. As if the Labour Party has ever been the property of the working class As for all those people who condemn communists, without their commitment and dedication WW2 would probably have been lost. In Spain, in Greece and many other places they gave their lives for a cause. Those who describe them as well meaning or idiots should remember that. But still what do I know? I'm just an old leftie who believes that life could be better if rich people contributed a bit more and we had a functioning education system and NHS- From the cradle to the Grave. Yes I know it's an ideal but when I stop having ideals please will someone shoot me
Apparently, West Midlands Labour has sparked a race row by charging different prices for a conference based on skin colour. What's going on in the LP? How is this not divisive?
Strange Jura I didn’t have you down as a Corbyn supporter or a Momentum supporter, but perhaps you are. So, what do you think of Momentum ousting people from their jobs and infiltrating every aspect of the LP?
