BBC exit poll

mansplained is quite offensive and irritating tbh. I thought we were living in the 21st century.

Anniebach, i believe if any forum member looks back through the recent posts in this thread, they will see that it was you who very disrespectfully addressed me with the remark "Aw I think granddad43 has a crush on Ms Formby "

Therefore if you do not wish to have responses to posts such as that, do not make such remarks.

There is also an old adage which states "when you find yourself in a hole stop digging."

It may have been me who asked Grandad to mansplain


However, I do know quite a lot about the Labour Party in the last century as my dad mansplained explained all about it.

My point is that that was the last century and I think we need a modern Labour Party for modern times.

Pointless really, all of it.

Where Annie goes ? A stalker follows ?

Unions again, I chose to join the Labour Party, NOT from gratitude , a decision I made after much thought.

dear me, another slanging match.

Where Annie goes ...

dear me, another slanging match.

Anniebach Quote [You are just a labour supporter.] End Quote.

Wrong again Anniebach. I have been an affiliate member of the Labour Party since 1966. I have maintained that by way of my membership of the Transport & General Workers Union (now the Unite Union).

I still retain that membership as gratitude for all that organisation did for my education throughout the 1970 and 80s. A service they continue to give to very many others even today.

Such is the Labour Movement

No granddad43. Not 50 years , over 50 years a member,
You are just a labour supporter .

Anniebach, you "claim" to have been a member of the Labour Party for fifty years. However, you have often demonstrated as with your above post that you have little or no understanding of its administration or structures.

In that, you speak of Len McCluskey "running the Labour Party" when he does not even hold a seat on that bodies General Executive Committee (NEC).

Jenny Formby also does not hold a voting seat on the above body. She is the General Secretary of the Labour Party and in that position she is ex-officio to the NEC.

The word "Secretary" in her title should have given you a clue anniebach?

grandad43. May I explain ?

McClusky is a union boss, he is not a superior Male in the
Labour Party.

I do agree he is with just a few others - controlling the Labour Party but he is only a party member.

Well, if anyone should look back in this thread they will witness that i was asked to do some "Mansplaining" by a woman.

I am also very surprised that women who are always posting on this forum in regard to women's inequality in Britain would wish to defend a person who believes that in the workplace women only advance their careers by jumping into bed with their male superiors. ?

Aw I think granddad43 has a crush on Ms Formby ?

Male superiors in management?

granddad43, you are confused , what has Male management to do with McClusky and Formby?

You end your post saying of Formby

‘A woman who has walked the walk and not just talked the talk
as so many do ‘

You are saying many women do ‘jump into bed ‘ but not
Formby ?

I think they call it "Mansplaining" maddyone.

I see Grandad’s back to lecturing us again. Quelle surprise!

Anniebach Quote [ So wrong unions can hold a substantial number of seats on the National Executive. Suppose this explains why Jennie Formby is the current general secretary, she is the mother of McClusky's son.] End Quote.

Anniebach, if you are suggesting that women in Britain only achieve advancement in their employment by way of "jumping into bed" with their male superiors in management then that is highly derogatory to every working woman in this country.

Disgusting and totally out of date thinking. I also suggest you read up on the Jennie Formby advancement by way of trade union workplace representative election in the road transport industry throughout the nineteen seventies.

A woman that has walked the walk and not just talked the talk as so many do.

So wrong unions can hold a substantial number of seats on the
National Executive. Suppose this explains why Jennie Formby
is the current general secretary, she is the mother of McCluskys son.

Grandad I know the history of the Labour Party, it was imbued in me as I grew up.

However, times do change, what the electorate wants or needs has obviously changed and politicians should recognise that and adapt to modern times.

Neither is lying.

Intransigence is not a good trait.

If only Corbyn had employed Anniebach as an advisor, she would have told him ages ago, that he was headed for disaster with an extreme left agenda and no firm commitments on Brexit one way or another.She certainly told other LP members and voters on this forum.....and they sneered nonstop.We now know how it ended.

Electorate have no need to concern themselves anymore though, do they?

So, if he is wanted, he stays. And currently, he is.

Grandad43 you say

If the existing Labour Party can survive without the support of the wider movement, so be it, as that would set it free to have whatever policies and leader(s) it wished.

You explain my reasons for being against the unions having
power over the Labour Party, why Corbyn is a nodding dog
for McClusky.

The Labour MP’s should decide on the manifesto not the unions.
