Here you are.

All Corbyn critics etc can now have a thread all to yourselves.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 28-May-19 14:03:32

What posts? I didn’t start this thread because of you, I started it because the other thread wasn’t being given a chance to run smoothly by people wanting to chunter on about the Labour Party and JC.

There was so much of it I thought that I would try starting another thread, that’s all!

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:06:10

And many posters abhore what the Tories have done while Corbyn sits back and allows it!

The labour back benches for a start but they couldn’t shift him because momentum idiots arnt interested and happily throw traditional labour votes under the bus.

He’s utterly hopeless. You know it and we all know it

Gutter language . Here catch <throws pearls and smelling salts>

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:07:30

Trouble us Corbyn incompetence covers many threads.

As do the iniquities of the Tories.

Awful awful awful all of them

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:09:35

Apart from one person, who is supporting JC on this thread - you can deflect all you like mycat but the last 9 years have been a disaster and for 5 of those it wasn’t JC as leader was it?

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:10:46

The right wing on GN never criticise the Tories and never have a policy idea to discuss as an alternative as well you know mycat

I think it is disgraceful that Campbell has been thrown out, they will regret it because he is an erudite, articulate man and can fight his own corner well. I have always liked him, especially for his brave stance on the crippling effects of his depression. I wonder if the Tory party have sacked all those local councillors who were lining up to say they were going to vote for the Brexit party?

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:26:07

I thought it was ridiculous as well that the Tories took the whip from MH ( he and KC are the the repository of the minuscule remains of what used to be the Tory conscience)

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:28:13

Actually Gill I think as I said upthread that throwing out in this set of circumstances is ludicrous regardless of the person.

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:29:24

Contract the expulsion between Campbell and the vile anti Semite Livingstone.

Totally disgraceful

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:30:39

Are you proud of labour today under Corbyn MaryEliza?

Seriously are you?

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:31:23

You know my distain of the Tories! What about you and Corbyn

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:37:18

The only other party that has been investigated by the commission is the BNP!

Disgraceful

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:39:56

Jackie walker the disgraceful racist... 3 yesrs during which she was paraded as a heroine

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 14:40:06

Proud???

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:40:43

FFS mycat how much clearer can I be? I am highly critical of so much of the LP -many of the PLP and most of the front bench and Leadership. But I just get bored out of my skull by the mindless bile and repetitive JC bashing on here by the mostly right wing who if they don’t now support the Tories are followers of the Great Leader NF and with whom it’s impossible to have any sensible debate on policy issues.

Alistair Campbell has been expelled from the LP for voting Lib Dems in the EU election.

He should’ve just done so quietly but obviously he had encouraged others to do likewise.

What did he expect?

Mind you he’s going to appeal.

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 14:48:03

AC has been discussed elsewhere already - I made the point that MH has had the Tory whip withdrawn but hey, only the LP can do bad things I know and the Tories are beyond reproach.

Urmstongran Tue 28-May-19 14:58:15

I was only posting news not intending a slur. And you’re right about the Tory party maryeliza and all the others probably!
?

GillT57 Tue 28-May-19 15:02:04

Maryeliza I hadn't clicked that MH was Heseltine, thus my query re Tory party expulsions.

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 15:14:24

urmstongran

At any other time or day of course if you vote against your party you should be expelled but he’s the embodiment of the ‘people’s vote’

Labour seem to be creeping towards a people’s vote or ref 2 so you would think Corbyns political sense would have triumphed over his clear hatred of Campbell.

I don’t agree with Campbell just thinking the timing was crazy coupled with the investigation into anti semitism and the fact that many racists have been allowed back into labour or not expelled.

Corbyn must be madder than even I thought grin

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 15:15:25

And MaryEliza the Tory party are utterly hopeless too.

The lot of them are like cats in bags

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 15:17:24

To be fair MH said before the election he would not vote Tory where Campbell said it afterwhen he couldn’t influence anyone
