Labour Live 2018 concert

Does David Davis do gigs now then?

Escorted ? why couldn’t they stay, the voice of the people surely. Corbyn could never cope on the hustings. If someone said boo he would run and hide. Nye Bevan and Barbara Castle were fantastic on the hustings , gave as good as they got , no Momentum to arrange public meetings.

True lemon, Corbyn had no problem with meeting the IRA, Hamas, Jewdas Sedar .

Am all for balance, but, what you have to say bears no relation to the subject matter at all
A good gig but held in the wrong place? ?
What’s the right place?

Somerset

Anniebach, has anybody now found out what did happen to Lord Lucan?

.lemon, 25,000 tickets for sale at £35 a ticket, then reduced to £10 a ticket with free travel , even then 2,500 tickets sold and UNITE gave away 1,000.

I did have a Che Guevara tee shirt ,I was soooo young ?

Phew Annie they got it so wrong, didn’t they?

With the world cup on it was definitely the wrong time to stage such an event. All the young party members were down their local pubs watching the football and who can blame them there were some great matches over the weekend.

Anyway anniebach, did anybody find Lord Lucan, you remember that subject you insisted in discussing in a thread that was nothing to do with Lord Lucan two weeks ago.

The younger party members can’t be all that enthusiastic if they ‘were down the pub’ then.
This was a well advertised gig which simply failed to attract
The amount of people needed to make it a success.
Glasto worked for JC because there was a captive audience there who would have cheered just about anybody on the stage, and who went there because it’s Glastonbury and not because they wanted to see a politician.

The essentials first, and with the World Cup on that would be the first essential for young people on a great football weekend.

And why not, let the Tories carry on with the total mismanagement of the country and hopefully by the time the World Cup is over a General Election will be not far from being called. Then the half a million Labour party members along with the rest of the movement will be very much onboard.

Anyway anniebach, what were you saying about Lord Lucan in that other thread?

.lemon, I wasn’t down the pub or watching football ?

I wonder if his speeches are written out for him, it really is pitiful that he has to have his questions written down for PMQ, he even reads his attempts at jokes.

It isn’t acceptable to speak of one thread when on a different thread surely?

Oh, this thread is in reality just anniebach back on her "I have Corbyn" obsession. In reality nothing to do with the gig at all. That was just an excuse to get her Corbyn hate started again in the forum.

Same old singer with the same old song.

Anyway I am now off to watch the England in the World Cup which is why I had the day off.

Obsession ?, nearest I come to an obsession is for Denzel Washington . Corbyn is no Denzel Washington

A bit like your Tory obsession then Grandad especially your JRM one.

If not interested in the thread, why bother to comment I wonder.

No football in this house thank goodness, not a glimmer of interest to be be seen!
This interest in Lord Lucan?! Well there are one or two schools of thought:- suicide half way across the English channel is one, Botswana is another, murdered by persons unknown is another! More bizarrely, living as a holy man in the Far East is yet another! You can take your choice Grandad!
I would put money on it that David Davis doesn't do gigs, but I could be wrong. He strikes me as more Glynebourne than Glastonbury, (I know the feeling!!) but again I could be wrong!!

Plenty of football in the Lemongrove household.It seems to be on constantly, either football being played or pundits talking about it.Mr L is entranced.

Sooner you than me Lg!!! But each to his own!!!?

Same for me niggly, not football. ?

Can some explain how the Labour Live 2018, the one with tickets reduced by fifteen squid , and 1,000 free tickets from UNITE - in reality has nothing to do with Corbyn?

funny how some view things differently from others..when the SNP conference is sold out year on year with tens of thousands of all ages attending...SNP members think its because we are politically aware and interested in our country.Then we get the MSM view and the unionists view that we are a CULT lead by seperatists who have no interst in their day job .
Its a funny old world ..

The average age of Conservative members if 72, not 57.

I think I read that the over 65's constitute 49% of Conservative voters.

As to Labour, from a 2016 Yougov survey:

"Labour’s new members aren’t on average much younger than those who were in the party before the general election. The average age of full members has actually nudged up from just under 51 to just over 51. They are similarly well-educated: around six out of ten of Labour’s post-GE2015 members have degrees, which was the same for pre-GE2015 members.
