Not seen it yet. Keep meaning to do so, but not got round to it yet.

 

ECHR hands Labour Party a hugely critical report...
1. Polictical interference in complaints procedures.
2. Lack of training.
3. Harassment.
Lets hope those responsible stop their 'It wasn't me, we tried to root it out b*llsh*t excuses' and either learn or leave the party.

 

I have said this before, but Murdoch buying the Sun was a master stroke. It allowed him to shape the thinking of so many working class people, many on benefits and/or minimum wage, in insecure jobs into believing that the Tory party was/is good for them.
Not trying to demean the readers of the Sun, but if you consistently read “Tory good, Labour bad”, it will eventually become part of the automatic thought process, whereas those who disagree with that mantra would probably stop reading it.

 

This helps explain a bit about asylum seeking and exposes the ignorance of the interviewer.

 

And a bit of fun, albeit fairly accurate.

 

Thought it would happen, even though I firmly believe JC isn't anti-semitic himself.

Very sad, very predictable. Corbyn puts Starmer in a position where he has no option. I sincerely hope it's the last time. Political suicide from an ex leader who at best couldn't manage his own office, never mind party.
A distraction we cannot afford when we have the most right wing government in my life time.

 

There's a point at which you have to realize that it's in everyone's best interest if you simply shut up and cease making yourself the story, and Corbyn reached that point some time ago.

 

With those initials, he may have a chip on his shoulder, resurrection, or no resurrection (Oops, has this become the religion thread?)

 

I have been his biggest critic, largely over his lukewarm ( support?) for Brexit. I do think that it was exaggerated but he didn't help himself by his statement.

 

This is fecking appalling.

or replace the words Tory and Labour with Brexit and Remain.... same outcome.

 

Do you need help with your brackets? They seem to be misplaced

 

Incredibly quiet in here after today’s report.

 

Trying to start an argument in the middle of the night fats?

 

Billy asked me to post it

 

Fats does have a point though. The ex leader of the Labour party has just been thrown out over an Anti Semitic undercurrent within the party and his reaction to it. Only a year ago he could have become PM.

I guarantee there would have been pages and pages of quotes, memes etc if this was the leader of the Conservative party.

 

Okay, I’ll bite. I look forward to seeing the leader of the Conservative Party’s response, when the investigation they promised on Tory Islamophobia publishes it’s report.
