Labour Party Conference

Speaking at the Scots night at Labour conference in Liverpool on Monday, party chairman Ian Lavery told delegates: “We need to kill off the nationalists in Scotland and regain that great country.”

To which the response has to be - 'You and what army?'

I wonder who the WE is in his statement and how THEY intend to kill off around 50% of the Scottish population? It is quite obvious that THEY regard Scotland as the last colony of Lesser Britain and are only interested in Scotland when there is an election and they need a large block of Labour MPs from Scotland to have any chance of forming a Government at Westminster.

I don’t think any real killing was intended Granny23

As Scotland is part of the UK it’s only natural that Labour wants to recapture the votes there.
A lost cause probably though.
Perhaps Lavery should attempt to go back in time ‘through the stones’ and thereby prevent the Culloden of the Labour Party in Scotland ( cue bagpipes and celebrations.)

Old Batty - believe it or not, it's true. Each group has its own grocery shop and most have their own food take-away.
I must say it's difficult to understand how Turks and Kurds can exist so close together.

ps thankyou Lemongrove for explaining.

Sorry Fennel, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make?
There are immigrants from different countries and they have their own shops and take aways?

Yes.

and?

Sorry I've lost the plot .Disregard my input, I hadn't read the whole thread.

Never mind fennel. If you find the plot, let me know where it was hiding.

The LP's call for a national strike was highlighted on our local BBC radio news this morning. Anniebach I am shocked and disgusted that anyone could think this was a step forward.

Gilly, the MP who called for it won her seat last year with a majority of 48. Seems she has no knowledge of the 1926 national strike.

I wonder if the son of Jenny Formby the newly appointed Labour general secretary and Len McClusky has a job in labour HQ , his surname could be Formby, Sandle or McClusky I suppose . Cosy isn’t it, Formby and McClusky, Corbyn and Abbott .

Well that was a rousing speech, no?

No.

Ah shame you didn't like it - what was wrong with it ;)

... and I am no Corbyn fan btw.

Very easy to stand up and say what everyone in that particular venue wanted to hear. Talk is cheap.

I didn’t listen to it jura as I am no masochist.
Rabble rousing speeches are Corbyn’s stock in trade so no doubt he thrilled his fans.

But I guess you did listen Jane, before passing judgement. I can you reply 'no' lemon - whilst at the same time saying you didn't not even bother to listen.

I listen to Mrs May and many others before commenting, yes, even Rees Mogg, even Johnson- even, yes, Farage. Perhaps the real issue with staunch and obsessive compulsive leavers?

It was irresistible to say ‘no’ jura as you ended your sentence with a ‘no’?

All that he said has been reported in online news.I wasn’t surprised by any of it.

... oh yes, and so so predictable - could have taken bets on it. How infantile ;)

I went to dinner last night with H to a local Italian Restaurant, only to find that it was under new ownership with new chefs and staff. We were chatting to the owner and his wife, they were talking about moving out of the seaside town I mentioned on here.

He was also complaining about the Albanians "running the working girls and the majority of the "drug industry" whilst the Roma people were known for their begging.

He then told us he was Albanian and ashamed of his fellow countrymen.

I wish him well, the food was delicious and the atmosphere family friendly, we will continue to go there and tell others about it.

A lesson learned!!!

How is this linked to the Labour Party Conference (title of the thread) Grannygravy?
You praised the village you lived in for being very well run by a Conservative council who managed their budget effectively. It sounds lovely.
But now you are also strongly criticising a nearby Conservative council run town (I think) for being a very unpleasant place to visit, badly out of control and being controlled by Albanian gangs and Roma. I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make?

I know, I know, it is from the Guardian, and yet ....

"Almost every rightwing editorial and commentator warns the Tories that Labour has the high ground in ideas, dynamism and popular appeal. Be afraid, Corbynism is shifting the ground beneath the Tories’ feet and they sound knee-knocking scared."

and also the reason why Leavers are so afraid of a vote on the final deal too ...
