My thoughts exactly. Biggest outcry seems to have come from Labour MPs... but wait....

Labour MP David Lammy, an Anti-Democratic MP given he don't accept brexit result acted in a racist manner last week when he raised eyebrows about the Judge in the Glenfell Fire, being unsuitable because and he started with, he was... white and what about the anti-semitism with Labour and racist Diane Abbott, saying 'White people love to play divide and rule, we should not play their game.'

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

The Tories were right to suspend the whip and she was right to apologise.

Let's not get into 'this is what the Tories' are like but she is reasonable for her owns words. This is a reflection on her and the Tories' quick suspension shows they don't have time for it.

Ok but people can't complain about Labour not being strong enough on the anti-Semitism in their party if they don't support the Tories doing the same. This whataboutary can go on forever because next time Ken Livingstone goes on a Hitler rampage his defenders could point to this and around and around we go.

Surely you can't be talking about when a Labour MP is heard to made a "loony left" remark, there is a rash of Pavlovian posts citing the pathetic and hypocritical Labour party but when you get a Tory making a similarly stupid racist remark, any criticism is "overreaction".

I was waiting till someone tried to deflect attention away from the story by mentioning Diane Abbott. I promised myself I wouldn't have a cup of tea until someone did. Fortunately, I didn't go thirsty for very long!

Maybe we should start a drinking game! Even time someone (mentioning no names ) uses the words "luvvie", "hypocrisy", "Corbynista", "cronies", etc. we should all have a shot!

Cheers!

Quite. It was a stupid and unpleasant thing to say and she's been immediately punished for it. It's not quite in the same league as the sort of hate filled speech and actions the usual Labour suspects come out with however and therein lies the difference, especially since Labour are the ones whose campaign strategy has long relied upon portraying others as 'nasty'.

At the going rate that's £100,000,000 of Tory voting intent lost.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Yet another nasty piece of work Corbyn's hanging out with.

Quote:
Marcus Papadopoulos is a notorious Assad supporter who claimed the slaughter at Aleppo didn’t happen and denied the Srebrenica genocide. As you can see from his tweets above, he holds the very worst of the views found on the extremes of the far-left. Papadopoulos says he spent yesterday evening with Jeremy Corbyn:

The silence from the rose tinted brigade is deafening.

More Labour nastiness, this time amongst themselves:

https://order-order.com/2017/07/13/g...t-blairite-cs/

Nasty extremists. For someone who's supposedly a proponent of kinder and gentler politics, Corbyn doesn't seem to have much to say about all this, but then his entire career has been accompanied by this sort of thing from those around him.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Isn't this the sort of thing Labour likes to accuse fat cat Tories of?

Quote:
Welsh government politicians, special advisers, private secretaries and press officers have billed the taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds to fly around the world on more than 30 foreign junkets in the last year. Welsh Labour leader Carwyn Jones blew more than £10,000 chartering a plane for him and his private secretary to France to watch the football last summer.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if these 'socialists' were forced to consume a fair bit of champagne on their taxpayer funded jollies but I'm sure the welfare of the ordinary, Tory austerity suffering, member of the public is foremost in their minds at all times...

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

And now Corbyn's right hand guy, another man of the people, seems to be having a few troubles:

https://www.metro.news/jeremy-corbyn...lawyer/671857/

Given his privileged background and the choices made for his own children's selective grammar school education you'd have thought he'd be embarrassed to be associated with Corbyn's Labour (and vice versa) but evidently not. Once again they fail to practice what they preach for the rest of us. How very Labour...
