Tonyp Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 Andy will get my vote,I know he shifts a bit but it was involvement that got some justice for the sad loss of Liverpool supporters who died at Hillsboro. Which got the enquiry they deserved..
Symptoms Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Nah, never trust a man who wears cufflinks and sports a $100 dollar haircut. My vote goes to Jeremy Corbyn ... one of the last dinosaurs.
threegee Posted July 8, 2015 Report Posted July 8, 2015 Nothing to say about the budget Tony? I'd offer that a discussion about who leads the Labour Party now is about as relevant as a White Star Line board meeting to decide on a replacement for Captain E.J. Smith!
Tonyp Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Posted July 10, 2015 3G the budget is just a start of what's to come in the next few years the start of hardship & it will get worse,on a lighter note how aboutThe Mary Rose for UKIP (Captain Roger Grenville- Nick Farage) that's what you call a sinking ship the rest of the crew became nameless & it didn't even reach the open sea.. It was nice to see Anna Turley overturn a 5000 majority to get the Redcar seat.

threegee Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Labour does have a real threat to Cameron (but not necessarily to his party)!
Symptoms Posted July 10, 2015 Report Posted July 10, 2015 Yep Tony, that rotting hulk which sank without trace (HMS BNP) only to be dredged up from it's slimy grave for one last hurrah ... an apt description of the kipperparty. GGG's close to the truth about SS Labour and its headlong dash to the depths of oblivion. Perhaps in 100 years the majority of the population caught in new serfdom gazing up at their Lords and Masters will fondly think what a great endeavour it all was and what might have been had the great vessel been piloted by somebody with a 'blue water masters' ticket' rather than cabinboy milleeeeeeebean.
Tonyp Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Posted July 10, 2015 As foxy would say Mmm "1/2 steam ahead "..
threegee Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Actually, you've already got the best and most pragmatic leader in Harriet Harman. To throw her out would be excessively dumb. The Tories are rooting for Corbyn, and electing him will make their day! Liz Kendal will be the biggest vote-getter for Labour, but that would help Ukip a lot too! Guess you are all set to do the wrong thing again: the inadequate, nonsense-talking, Burnham.
threegee Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 The latest polling, seen by the New Statesman, puts Mr Corbyn ahead in the first round of voting. Andy Burnham is said to be ahead in first preferences, but Mr Corbyn's popularity among second preferences would allow him to claim victory under Labour's preferential voting system. The New Statesman suggests that Mr Burnham is ahead on 39 per cent, Mr Corbyn would be second with 33 per cent, Ms Cooper third with 25 per cent and Ms Kendall fourth with just four per cent. Those figures would then translate into a win for Mr Corbyn once the second preferences had been transferred. Maybe why voters had the good sense to decisively reject STV, when they weren't offered the fair, and blinding obvious choice, of proper PR. The vintners in Victoria Street, London, could be in for a bumper month!
threegee Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Wow! Jeremy Corbyn now the front runner, and the Highgate and Hampstead champagne socialists are horrified at the prospect! Tell me why you aren't supporting the guy with the beard Tony? Is he simply too left-wing for you? There's one reason I'd be tempted to pay the £3 and vote for Corbyn, and it's not to make Labour completely unelectable, although that's the natural consequence. Unlike the other four Corbyn clearly has some principals. They aren't rational principals, or 21st century principals, or vote-grabbing principals, but, uniquely, he does believe in what he says. And, what he says is that he could vote NO at the referendum, because he thinks it could be in OUR best interest. Right for totally the wrong reasons is nigh enough for pit-work, when all the alternatives represent sickening Blairite post-democratic elitism! Meanwhile... Tony urges Labour voters to get a [brain] transplant - yet another, right for the wrong reasons! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3170460/Don-t-Blair-issues-stark-warning-Labour-old-fashioned-left-wing-policies-lead-defeat.html
Symptoms Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Oh dear, elements of the Stasi are alive and well in the Membership Vetting Directorate. They're inviting classmates to inform on each other to weed out 'undesirables' ... it's turning into the 1930s Soviet Union or Nazi Germany: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/26/my-son-labour-witchfinder-general-politics-appeal-young-people For those like me who think Frankie Boyle is 'The Daddy' have a butchers at his regular column in the Guardian today: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/27/how-will-labour-top-losing-the-election-by-losing-its-own-leadership-contest It appears to me that Jeremy Corbyn is the only candidate proposing anything positive/new/different and thus drives the agenda - the rest only seem the react/slag off/infight.
Maggie/915 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 You could be right Symptoms.There seems to be a 'self destruct ' button.
Malcolm Robinson Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Much as it pains me I have to agree with Sym.........."Corbyn is the only candidate proposing anything positive/new/different".

Maggie/915 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 Ronnie Campbell is supporting Jeremy Corbyn.Letters page News Post Leader.He says 'the Tory media is slagging him off '' If you want straight- talking, honest politics, then Jeremy Corbyn is the person to go with.'Enough said !
threegee Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 He says 'the Tory media is slagging him off ' The Eye a Tory paper?!! Wonderful! Ronnie: The Tories are praying for Corbyn; but then you never did know what day of the week it was, did you?
Malcolm Robinson Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 Its like looking at a car crash in slow motion!
threegee Posted September 1, 2015 Report Posted September 1, 2015 In true politico fashion they need to change the name of the party to include "Democrat" - just to confirm to everyone that they don't really believe in it! On second thoughts that would confuse the dinosaurs who'd vote for a "raving alcoholic sex paedophile" with a Labour rosette. Be taken for granted; shaft your own Country; impoverish your own Town - all part of the great 21st century Labour experience. But it's OK: we're doing this all in the name of those great Labour leaders of the early 20th century - the ones who strongly opposed EEC membership, because they knew where it was intended to lead; and the ones now turning in their graves!
threegee Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 So... your Mafia boss' shill didn't even come close Tony! Labour shadow cabinet ministers can't get their resignations in soon enough.Cameron now thinks he has no effective opposition, though seemingly paradoxically he'll likely embrace a few more Blairite moves to sweep up all the millions of metropolitan votes that Labour has just turned its back on.
Maggie/915 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 Surely this change in politics can open up new thoughts and ideas.No one thought the new Labour leader stood a chance of success.Perhaps we need to listen carefully to his ideas and thoughts.Not just go for the 'sound bite and scaremongering '.
John Fox (foxy) Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 Recognise anyone.Micky Mouse is missing. 1
Tonyp Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Posted September 15, 2015 He wasn't my choice,but he might rattle a few feathers I didn't know you had to reconise someone to vote for them I thought it is what they & you believe in . If Micky mouse's photo was there would he get your vote he's probably the country's best chance to stop poverty.. But I don't think he's labours best man for the job but as he was elected by his fellow brothers & sisters that's what the party has to go with.
