The Last Days of Mrs May?

OldMeg
Some people have short memories and need reminding.
You have a problem with Annie's post but not with Robens.

What Lemon said ??

After reading of Robens and the disgraceful results clearing the NCB ( practically a government dept) and taking money meant for Aberfan and residents to clear the tips afterwards,
The Labour government of the time (Wilson) acted in a shocking manner to the working class families, it was nothing short of a betrayal.
To then reward Robens with a top job in health and safety beggars belief!

No trisher, you also said perhaps x there are many who owe their lives to Robens. I do not make unfounded accusations.

Grandad1943 said the health and safety act was a tribute to those children, I replied they didn’t have justice.

The far left can critcise me as often as they choose in defence of Grabdad1943 praises of Roben , I will condemn Robens when I choose.

Have I suggested any such thing Annie? you have accused me lately of "bullying" and "being nasty". Even with my extensive vocabulary I find it hard to find words to describe what you are doing.
I asked a simple question Has the Health and Safety Act saved lives?
It seems you are willing to use tragedy to make political points when it suits you. And to make unfounded accusations when you imagine it will score points. It's sad, but also quite revolting.

I’m sorry, but I cannot stomach any more of this. I’m absolutely disgusted

Why disgraceful, you have accused me of doing so,

Disgraceful.

I will say the same every time Robens is involved in any post.

When the Grenfell enquiry is held I assume there will be no mention of the grief ? That would be using it to make a political agenda ?

What a dreadful thing to say Annie ...that is sinking low. We all know the anguish of Aberfan. You cannot say that or you are using the pain of the dreadful day just to make polical propaganda.

I’m shocked.

so Trisher forget 144 children buried alive and only praise what followed, shame on you, I wonder if you would so detached and so eager to support grandsd1943 in his praise if you had watched parents and grandparents digging for the little bodies, I did..and stood in the chapel as fathers came in to identify their children. And heard the cries of parents at the enquiry when Robens lied.

It was brought to the house by the conservative Secretary of State for employment in January 1974

How many lives do you think the health and Safety act has saved since it was passed Annie? Perhaps there are some who owe their lives to Lord Robens as well.

Come to that, Corbyn seems sympathetic to Russia too, and probably has a very fat file on him somewhere in MI5.

Pity Lord Robens hadn’t worked harder and prevented the disaster . He died aged 89, most of the children did live past the age of 9

With respect Lord Robens was a bastard

Actually maizeD the situation with the HSAWA was much more complex than I explained above due to the party majority situation in parliament.

By the time that the act actually became law Harold Wilson was leading a minority Labour Government in 1974.

However, I was trying to stay away from all that and keep it simple....should have known better.

MI5 keep files on all sorts of people.Left wing politicians probably all had files on them, particularly in Wilson’s time with the Cold War.So many spies ( traitors) came up from the 1930’s onwards sympathetic to the Russian cause.

Ah yes Lord Robens, he who lied at the Aberfan disaster enquiry into the deaths of 144 people, 118 were children , Lord Robens who was kept in his job by the unions and was appointed to head the committee of enquiry into the the health and safety act .

Well I and the world say Aberfan disaster, not ‘an event’ as grandad1943 chose to call it.

Three cheers for the union supported Lord Robens . Responsible for the sucide of some members of the miners union who lost children in the disaster and were betrayed by the unions.

Yes Annie. And MI5 kept a file on Harold Wilson, the dangerous left wing subversive...

So, did I say there was not Anniebach?

It was Lord Robens (the man you so hate) who with others worked enormously hard so as to placate the opposition in the Conservative government parliamentary ranks that they decided to allow the bill to pass into law.

Annie, ??

There was a Tory government in 1973

MaizieD how right you are on "radical views" in your post @ 9:44 this morning.

Many Tories in Parliament even opposed the introduction of the Health & Safety at Work Act as it passed through the House of Commons in 1973 calling it "extream legislation.

Since the above act was introduced, hundreds of thousands have returned home from their workplace in safety each day as workplace accidents have been reduced by eighty-six percent in the years since the act was introduced.

So much for extream views

Once again Diana54 a lot of rhetoric but no details. What actually do you not want in the way of Labour party policies? Do you not want people to have access to water at a reasonable price and without filling the pockets of some people? Do you not know how Free schools and Academies have so skewed the spending on education that now we have money being wasted on schools that never open and most schools struggling with budgets? Do you not want to see a proper railway system where the profits are ploughed back into the system instead of into private pockets?
Are you in fact just scaremongering with silly threats?

Spot on Diana54 but zealots within the LP have the deluded thoughts that the whole of the UK must think like they do.
