I have no wish to discuss anything with the poster who uses lavatorial language.

My apology was not for starting this thread .

The posts today from the Corbynites is another atrempt to derail the thread, cause disagreements and have the thread deleted.

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 18:52:55

If we look at the list the two columns to the right as we look are the names I am interested in.

Ruth Smeeth bullied by a Momentum activist.

Neil Coyle who wrote with Jo Cox their regret at having supported Corbyn has spoken out about the bullying by Momentum.

Frank Field voted against the whip .

Luciana Berger was appointed to the shadow cabinet in 2015, she resigned her post June 2016.

Margaret Hodge

I believe the thread should remain up so as all forum members can witness just what kind of a person the opening poster really is.

Chewbacca Fri 14-Sept-18 19:14:09

I toobelieve the post should remain. But not for the same reasons as you grandad. We are not
yet living in a state of censorship, whereby the only material allowed to be printed or published is within party lines. You may not have too long for that to come to pass but, for now, you'll just have to gnaw on your knuckles and wait.

Opening Poster that would be you Annie grin
I think most of us on the political threads, and others know what kind of person you are. You are a labour supporter who lives in the real world and not the la la never land of Corbyn supporters.

Good idea! smile

It also shows us your true persona Grandad

lemongrove Fri 14-Sept-18 19:28:37

Absolutely Jalima ??

MawBroon Fri 14-Sept-18 19:30:01

Anniebach your post about those MPs whose names were in the RH lists and are now either facing votes of no confidence or being threatened with desertion speaks for itself.
I too think this thread should stay up but not for your reasons Grandad. Your scatological humour (if indeed humour it is) does you no favours.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 14-Sept-18 19:38:36

There seems to be an awful lot of bully boy tactics on this thread.

It says a lot about the posters, very easy to be a KBW

Chewbacca Fri 14-Sept-18 19:40:45

Is it? confused

GrannyGravy13 Fri 14-Sept-18 19:46:28

Cheebacca, I am not sure about gransnett guidelines, I am a relatively new poster.

Personally on reading through the thread it seems very wrong for one poster to be so vehement to ab, we are all entitled to our own opinions and views, but surely the potty mouth abuse is not acceptable on a public forum.

lemongrove Fri 14-Sept-18 19:50:40

Well, you would think that wouldn’t you GrannyG and I would think so too, but apparently it’s allowed.Yet, much lesser posts are often deleted, it’s an enigma wrapped up in a conundrum alright.

nigglynellie Fri 14-Sept-18 19:52:35

I'm bowing out of this thread. Unfortunately underlying unpleasantness in particular to annie by certain people is just too much. I thought the Labour Party was a broad church! clearly I was very much mistaken. Intolerance and bigotry are alive and well, as well as arrogant rudeness and totally untrue accusations by people who don't know annie, know nothing about her political life, her personal life or anything at all and yet see fit to accuse her of being a closet Tory! Frankly Grandad you should be,ashamed of yourself and it is you who should be apologising.

Chewbacca Fri 14-Sept-18 19:55:55

Think lemon has summed it up pretty well. Personally, I think its a lack of articulation that leads people to having to resort to the sort of language that was used by one poster last night. Shame really.....

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 19:59:05

mmmmm, the sort of person I am !

Welsh , hopefully decended from the last PofW ?, but I doubt he went to Anglesey .

A Labour Party member for over fifty years.

Campaigned at every general election for the Labour Party.

Think the most difficult was 1983 emotionally , Michael Foot a family friend , that man was so eloquent. But always in my mind was Gerald kaufman’s verdict on the manifesto
“The longest suicide note in history”. He was so right.

I knew Neil and Glenys Kinnock before Neil became leader, Glen was born in Holyhead and my great aunts were friends of her family. I knew Neil as MP for a neighbouring valley.

On a rather personal note, Stephen Kinnock and my younger daughter have something in common, born on the same bed in the Labour ward in Tredegar grin
Was pea green with envy when Mandela first came to the U.K. and wanted to thank Glen and Neil personally.

Canvassed through the wilderness years, swore at, spat at.

Had great respect for John Smith .

Met Gordon Brown many times, there was no divide between Welsh labour supporters and the rest of the country. Was disappointed Gordon stepped back for Tony Blair to stand, but understood why he did.

Was elated when labour won in 1997.

What a difference in the party conferences ?, met lovely Mo Mowlan , could she swear but not that word or lavatorial vulgarities .

Voted for Andy Burnham when he stood with Ed Milliband.

Met so many lovely people in those years, some are now MP’s.

Am loyal to Welsh Labour, relieved Corbyn avoids Wales, think this will change when the new leader of Welsh Labour takes office,

My one wish , that Gordon Brown could have ‘done’ tv.

The longest meme post I have ever done, this is how much my party means to me .

Overthehills Fri 14-Sept-18 20:00:34

What Jalima and MawBroon have said. Your diatribe against Annie should have been deleted in my opinion. You have made this into a personal attack - shame on you.

nigglynellie Fri 14-Sept-18 20:04:13

Excellent post annie, ?? now I'm off!

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 20:05:07

MawBroon Fri 14-Sept-18 20:07:38

Brilliant post Anniebach!
Your credentials are plain for all to see and your personal and practical experience and your history with the Labour Party clearly show that, unlike some, you know what you are talking about.

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 20:11:45

So meme Maw but just wanted to clear up the constant accusations of being a liar, have faults but never a liar.

You were right about those facing deselection, there are more sadly.

Jalima1108 Fri 14-Sept-18 20:23:59

scatological
I had to look that up (I have led a sheltered life)

What is a KBW
Knight of the British ?
Woodentops? or something ruder?

Jalima1108 Fri 14-Sept-18 20:28:52

Brilliant post anniebach
Very well said.

and a vg post niggly

Overthehills Fri 14-Sept-18 20:31:22

Good for you Annie and not a swear word in sight!

GrannyGravy13 Fri 14-Sept-18 20:32:55

KBW - keyboard warrior.
