Of all the rude and boorish behaviour that goes on in the Common, is singing a song really "disgraceful "?

Yes, which morons do you want to see gone after a general election?

The Welsh MP’s did not sing an anthem , they sang a hymn

Does anybody have a link please to all the singing? Thanks

Which morons? The Labour Party, the Welsh, or the Scots?

Stupidity beyond belief - but what else can one expect from these morons. The sooner a GE takes place the better.

All of the disenfranchised groups in the HoC sang 'anthem' songs, including Flower of Scotland, and Bread and Roses.

The BBC News only showed The Red Flag, which gives completely the wrong impression.

It was deeply unwise and makes me feel that, although they may have some positive policies, they lack the political nowse to understand what this says to the electorate.

Their wish for policies to emphasise the needs of the underdog and to pick up those whom austerity has left by the wayside get my support; but I just think they are the wrong people at the wrong time - they do not understand how politics work and are shooting them selves in the foot. Just plain stupid.

It was a disgrace ,

Disgraceful...but nothing surprises me from those leftie traitors.

Anniebach Tue 10-Sep-19 14:06:19

More than silly

Yes I agree Luckygirl singing that anthem does give the impression that the Labour party policies are a lot more left wing than they are in reality, which does make some people reluctant to vote Labour.
A bit silly, but hardly disgusting.

If he didn't, maybe he didn't know the wordsgrin.

Did the speaker join in ?

Smileless2012 Tue 10-Sep-19 13:55:06

Are they allowed to do that?

Anniebach Tue 10-Sep-19 13:53:06

Good grief, did they ?

Luckygirl Tue 10-Sep-19 13:27:14

.......in parliament!!

Do they not realise that this is exactly what will put people off voting labour? That song alone raises the fear that a new Tory government will emerge from an election. I despair.

We need some reasoned middle ground debate, and a few politicians with half a brain - I have given up hoping for integrity too.
