QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jan 6 2016, 03:22 PM) I watched David Cameron's performance today and thought it little better than a disgrace to his office. The sooner the country is rid of this condescending and smarmy individual the better. While I still believe the Monster Raving Tories are the least bad option for government, he does nothing to help promote a more sober debate.
While I used to be a bit of a fan of his, I am now developing that often read about emotion of his having a face one would like to punch; him and his oppo: Osborne. Why not join me in Labour and support Jeremy Corbyn's effort to make the Party more of an inclusive grass-roots social movement and generally make politics more dignified and cerebral than the bun-fight we currently have. Make politics about the issues not the personalities, and accept that people can think differently about things while still sharing a common desire to see social justice.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

So; you want to get rid of him and have Corbyn then?

The Trotskyite cabal? Agree with me or your out? That's your version of Democracy is it? Jesus!

Actually grass roots put the Tories back in power because the didn't want leftish Labour.

Actually, it was the other way round. Corbyn was quite happy about dissent; but the 'dissenters' don't seem to like anyone opposing them! Not really surprising that the ex Blair supporters still hold his mantra 'my way or highway'. Democracy is about consensus. And anyway, don't you want your representative to actually represent the real views of the party they support? Very much looks as if Jeremy Corbyn wants Labour MPs to act as Labour MPs. Now that's very different from what we've had for the past decade or so, where no matter what lable, all MPs have been Tory!

We can't vote labour in yet, we haven't got enough money to give away or steal from pension funds and the lottery funds.

From Simon Heffer, "The funniest thing I read about Mr Corbyn’s “reshuffle” – in which he lost more shadow ministers by accident than by design – was the claim that he stretched it out for days and announced things in the early hours to disoblige the press. Was that the best his press officer could do to justify the chaos? It proved, at least, that there are those stupid enough to believe anything. Had it been true, it would have suggested an astonishing conceit. Hardly anyone cares about Labour, which has become a weird and unpleasant sect. Most newspapers would rather report, for the enlightenment of their readers, a church jumble sale than devote precious news pages to the antics of this utterly irrelevant cult. Even if it now has 370,000 members – half of whom appear to be malignant, Britain-hating Trotskyists who have bided their time for a political party to hijack – that still means that 64,630,000 or so people frankly couldn’t give a stuff."
I must say that while its pretty strong stuff I fail to disagree with the sentiment, I had high hopes we may have seen a rebirth of the labour party rather than the petty personality cult it had slipped into, and given the right policy and message it may have seen a whole new age of British politics. However, this lot really are some of the most distasteful and poisonous politicians I have ever seen! Bordering on the downright dangerous in regard to security. I fervently hope that this is a blip on the screen and the current lunacy comes to an abrupt end.

Wait 'till the Tory Party really starts on Europe. It hasn't managed to become one of the oldest political parties in the world by being nice. Know your place.
