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.

Grandad1943 Fri 14-Sept-18 18:58:55

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.

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 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.

trisher
I suppose they imagine that people are mature enough to read the article and not jump to conclusions Jalima1108.

I am mature enough to reason that if I read something on LabourList website that it does have a ring of truth about it as they do not refute it.

However, you may know something about LabourList that I do not - in which case that could advance your argument that the list is a tissue of lies.
Are they Tory infiltrators?

Grandad1943 Fri 14-Sept-18 18:30:20

MawBroon, anniebach has already stated the list with Jo Cox name contained within "it was wrong" just look back through the thread

I also see that your attempt to report me for an expletive was an abject failure. Look to your own language in another thread.

trisher Fri 14-Sept-18 18:26:57

I suppose they imagine that people are mature enough to read the article and not jump to conclusions Jalima1108.
MawBroon it isn't childish to criticise Annie She has posted approval for right wing policies many times and constantly criticises Labour people and policies. The sort of loyalty she demonstrates is the sort any political party could well do without.

Jalima1108 Fri 14-Sept-18 18:17:40

Doesn't really matter who made it up does it Jalima1108 it's still a load of porkies isn't it?

Well, trisher,why then don't they delete it from a Labour website confused

It could be true, it could not be true..

MawBroon Fri 14-Sept-18 18:13:10

I am working again tomorrow (yes Saturday) and those duties will again take me to the large sewage plant North of Bristol. However, I am sure the smell there will be better than the stink that went behind the reasoning for the start and title of this thread

Oh don’t be so childish Grandad
Anniebach has nothing to apologise for. The list of those perceived as hostile to or unsupportive of JC comes as no surprise to anybody and it has been interesting to compare the names in the two RH columns with those currently critical of the Labour Party leadership. As for accusing Anniebach of being a Tory, well that is just ridiculous.
Your clumsy and puerile attempts to muddy the water by criticising the inclusion of Jo Cox (well done for taking on board that her name was not “Joe”) very nearly derailed the thread, but fortunately common sense prevailed .
The infantile slur on Chewbacca’s username also failed to deliver a coup de grâce -sticks and stones etc.
So enjoy your Saturday at the sewage plant and no doubt you will have lots of opportunity to regale us with your insightful opinions on the gig economy (where did that come from) or other bons mots à propos of usernames which amuse you.

Anniebach quote [I know it is wrong, I am loyal to the Labour Party if only the leader was] End quote

Anniebach, I see you acknowledge that placing a thread on this forum entitled "The hit list" with the name of Jo Cox within it was wrong.

However, that list was undoubtedly placed on this forum to once again discredit Jeremy Corbyn and in that feed your obsession with that person. That stated, Corbyn is the elected leader of the Labour party, and as much as you anniebach may not wish to accept that, it is very much the situation as an overwhelming number of party members polled for him in the last ballot.

Therefore, anniebach you are not as you state above "loyal to the Labour Party" but within your continuous derogatory and obsessive behaviour towards Corbyn you also often demonstrate that you hold no Labour socialist views whatsoever. Indeed many posts you place on this forum demonstrate that you hold right-wing political views especially when you will not even express support for the core Labour party policy of abolishing the gig economy.

That gig economy situation not only damages the one in five British workers trapped within it but also companies which wish to give their employees good working conditions. However, you will not express support for even that core Labour movement policy. Therefore how do you anniebach "square" your claims to be a loyal Labour Party member with your forum actions or non-actions regarding such core labour policies?

The simple fact is, as many of us realise that anniebach is an out and out Tory party supporter who for some reason wishes to masquerade behind a front as a Labour party member to hide her right-wing views and feed her obsession against Jeremy Corbyn. In that obsession, anniebach will even open a thread in this forum entitled "The Hit List" which contains the name of the murdered Labour MP Jo Cox. It is not the fact that anyone wishes to airbrush the name of Jo Cox out of history, it is the title of the thread with her name contained within it which is so loathsome and created by the opening poster.

I am working again tomorrow (yes Saturday) and those duties will again take me to the large sewage plant North of Bristol. However, I am sure the smell there will be better than the stink that went behind the reasoning for the start and title of this thread.

Before anyone cries "bullying", I believe this post is just a reasoned assessment of the ongoing behaviour of anniebach on this forum

Chewbacca Fri 14-Sept-18 17:37:10

Bricks? I haven't chucked bricks at anyone! I simply said that I couldn't give any credence to your philosophy trisher. It was a non aggressive post.

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 16:51:10

Yes I would, and you would say it’s porkies wouldn’t you!

trisher Fri 14-Sept-18 16:15:45

Ah but you would wouldn't you!

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 16:11:16

Is it a load of porkies? I think not

trisher Fri 14-Sept-18 16:09:46

Doesn't really matter who made it up does it Jalima1108 it's still a load of porkies isn't it?

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 16:01:42

The spokesperson did not say the list has no basis in truth

Jalima1108 Fri 14-Sept-18 15:57:40

A spokesperson for Corbyn denied responsibility for the list, telling The Times: “It doesn’t come from this office and we have no knowledge of it”.
Don't tell me that someone in Corbyn's office is making secret notes and lists shock

that Fifth Column at work again

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 15:55:40

There is one faction within the Labour Party, centre left .

lemongrove Fri 14-Sept-18 15:50:41

I think so too Jalima and there are factions within the LP all wanting to come out on top.

Jalima1108 Fri 14-Sept-18 15:47:38

What puzzles me, though, is why LabourList published it on their site without roundly refuting it.

Their only reference as to its veracity is
The Times claims the list comes from a member of staff from the leader’s office and was written in January.
A spokesperson for Corbyn denied responsibility for the list, telling The Times: “It doesn’t come from this office and we have no knowledge of it”.

Allegiances may have changed since then, though, as I have already said.

Anniebach Fri 14-Sept-18 15:47:34

Where is the proof the list did not come from Labour HQ?

lemongrove Fri 14-Sept-18 15:45:53

what a lot of fudge your above comment is trisher in fact the first few sentences are lost in a fog, it sounds like something Humpty Dumpty might say.

trisher Fri 14-Sept-18 15:43:01

Actually before you start chucking bricks at me Chewbacca asked a question and I provided a possible answer. I didn't say this was what I thought or that I agreed with the answer I gave. Actually I think it's completely irrelevant as the list has no basis in any sort of truth. I did notice that many took the opportunity to turn the thread away from the evidence that the list is not just old it has never been proved to be anything other than the creation of The Times newspaper.

trisher Fri 14-Sep-18 13:05:18

trisher the list is out there on that website for all to see and read. LabourList themselves cannot amend it as they did not draw it up, it allegedly came from the leader's office. Neither can Anniebach alter it.
Many other things may have changed, too, over the last two years, including allegiances. However, it is useful to see even now imo.

And as an admired and committed MP who spoke out against the conflict in Syria together with her colleague from across the floor, Andrew Mitchell, I too, think her name should not be airbrushed from what could be an uncomfortable truth.
We will, sadly, never know what her present views might be on Corbyn et al.

Chewbacca Fri 14-Sept-18 13:53:59

Trisher I'd give you philosophy more credence if the list had been published after Jo's death. But it was published long before. And as it cannot be amended by the OP, I don't see what she could have done to omit her name. Jo Cox was a committed, hard working, honest MP. She wouldn't have wanted to be airbrushed out of anything that bears her name now. The list is an article of its time. Why would you want to re write history?
