(358 Posts)
Anniebach Fri 21-Sept-18 10:43:32

According to Labour List the three big issues set to dominate the conference this year.

1. Rule Changes. 2. Anti semitism. Brexit.

1. Comes under the democracy review proposals (plus open parlimentary selections ) another round which will be discussed and voted on by the NEC on Saturday.

2. Will likely crop up at fringe events !!!!

3. Mainly revolves around the idea of a second referendum
- termed ‘ a people’s vote’ by its advocates - and could change Labour .policy dramatically.

Evidence, please anniebach. The Aberfan disaster took place 52 years ago, and no one could be brought to justice outside of those who actually worked on those tips because the legislation was not in place to bring forward prosecutions beyond that.

The tragedy played a huge part in bringing about the Health & Safety at Work Act (HASAWA) in 1974 were Lord Robens played a huge role in placating Conservative opposition to the act becoming legislation in parliament.

That Act is the largest tribute any nation could pay to those children who lost their lives in tragedy for it has reduced workplace accidents by 86% since it came into being

All the above has been explained to you anniebach previously, but you seem to obsessed with just Robens part in the disaster when there was at that time no way he could be brought before the courts for any role he had in the tragedy.

Who are you to judge who posts rubbish G.d? Some of think the same of you it may surprise you to know!

Anniebach Fri 28-Sept-18 19:40:32

Grandad are you ashamed of your devotion to unions? Are you not a union member, not a man, you cannot claim you are not a union spokesperson when you post endlessly about unions and the good they do, as for ‘bloke’ you consider this disparaging? You who called posters turds, granted you had been working in sewers that day.

nigglynellie Fri 28-Sept-18 19:36:30

What are you then G.d?! How on earth can calling someone a bloke, union man/spokesperson be disparaging? Hardly on a par with being a closet Tory, or a turd!!

Anniebach Fri 28-Sept-18 19:35:37

My sentence on trade union members was in a discussion on the Blair government where the poster who admits I am ‘a Huge target’ said nothing was done for union members ,

I posted of minimum wage, paternity pay, sure start etc,

Does it now follow if nothing was done for union members they had to be male, single and childless ?

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 19:35:15

Some on this forum may well be liked for the rubbish they post; others though are not so gullible.

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 19:31:13

Well then nigglynellie, perhaps anniebach should refrain from constantly returning to me as a "bloke" or "union man", "union spokesperson" or other disparaging remarks.

Anniebach Fri 28-Sept-18 19:25:41

Yes you did grandad1943 , you said that event took place fifty years ago.

nigglynellie Fri 28-Sept-18 19:23:39

I'm referring to Annie G.d because she is!!! Have you a problem with that?! I echo your comments lemon, this constant bullying and gunning for Annie particularly by G.d has got progressively more unpleasant and totally unnecessary. Perhaps G.d you are unaware that Annie is well liked on this forum and a lot of us of all political persuasions are getting just a little sick of you in particular relentlessly attacking her. Even her deeply held faith is being used as a weapon- unbelievable!

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 19:23:38

Anniebach, I have never called the Aberfan disaster "an event". That is a figment of your "imagination"

If you can demonstrate where I have done so please bring forward the evidence.

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 19:19:24

Anniebach makes herself a huge target in what she posts on this forum. In that she then constantly will not expand on any of those posts when requested.

Anniebach Fri 28-Sept-18 19:19:21

Quite sad really, ttisher drags my faith into this thread, shortly followed by OldMeg quoting scripture, pure coincidence i’m Sure ?

Anniebach Fri 28-Sept-18 19:16:25

Yes that is my post . Cannot remember which thread , was it the thread where you called the deaths of 144 people, of whom 116 were children ‘ an event’ everyone refers to it as a disaster , it certaintly was not an event.

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 19:15:59

lemongrove, I seem to recall that you were involved in similar with me only last evening.

Anniebach is not being "bullied", she is only being asked to justify her Labour part thinking and beliefs as compared to present day Labour Party policy.

I have also compared what anniebach has stated previously in regard to trade union members as a whole.

lemongrove Fri 28-Sept-18 19:07:21

The only disgusting thing is your bullying posts to Annie
Granda43

lemongrove Fri 28-Sept-18 19:06:05

Yes, you are Annie you should ask GNHQ to look at this matter!
It never looks good when several members are insulting and keep going after another GN member in this way. Very poor behaviour.

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 19:04:38

Very well anniebach, here is your full post of the
08/09/2018 @18:46

Post begins here:-
1997 papers released under the 30 year rule show Robens worked with the NUM to gather support, then agreed the wording of a letter from Marsh refusing Robens resignation BEFORE his supposed resignation.

And all union members during the Blair government were Male, single and childless.
Post ends

Again totally disgusting

Anniebach Fri 28-Sept-18 19:02:10

I am being bullied

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 19:00:48

Truth is Trisher, all anniebach politics are mythology and living in the past.

Anniebach Fri 28-Sept-18 19:00:23

Yes , quite correct a section of my post , why not the whole post ?

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 18:55:43

Who are you referring to as being Welsh nigglynellie?

trisher Fri 28-Sept-18 18:52:58

niggly I have lost count of the times I have tried to debate with Annie. When she posts an idea - e.g 'there are no soup kitchens'- I always try to respond although some of her ideas are a complete anathema to me. But if you can find me any political ideas she has posted I will be delighted to discuss them.

Grandad1943 Fri 28-Sept-18 18:51:49

Below is what anniebach really believes of trade union members as here is a section of a post by her on the 08/09/2018 @18:46

Post begins here:-
And all union members during the Blair government were Male, single and childless.
Post ends

Totally disgusting.

OldMeg Fri 28-Sept-18 18:49:59

Excuse me, there was no dig at your faith Annie ....do you mean because I quoted John.14:2?

Since when do you ha e exclusive rights to the New Testament? If I quoted Shakespeare would that be an attack on actors or the RSC?

If you can explain your ‘reasoning’ I’d like to hear that, or best to follow the advice that its ‘better to remain silent and be thought....’

lemongrove Fri 28-Sept-18 18:49:32

Annie I think some are disgruntled that so many on GN are voicing dislike of Corbyn now, so they need to shout a bit.
You're certainly not alone in your opinion of ‘the plonker’.
Loads of us agree with you!
