Maybe I used the wrong word when I said educate....maybe I should have said something like disseminate or facilitate, but when it all boils down to it,it really is passing on information and information leads to knowledge.....knowledge is education....so there we are back at square one again.
I am always ready to listen to the views and opinions of others.....and I may not always agree with what someone says, but I try to give respect to those views.

So it is with Jeremy Corbyn. I may not agree with what he says, but he has the right to say it(unless of course it is something which is illegal, racist or inflammatory).

I do not like the shenanigans within the party. It serves no purpose other than to be divisive and it gives a wrong impression to the rest of the world(who right now are watching us like Hawks to see how we will fare now the nation has decided).
Should we care about our reputation...?
Of course we should because it what we, the British people are measured by.

Re: Labour Party

In my view our reputation has already been seriously damaged by the two faced scum/ snakes that have orchestrated whats going on.

Re: Labour Party

Cashy they don't really care at all.
Any ills that are suffered by the UK (financial, commercial, political)will be laid at the doors of those who voted to leave the EU.....it is never going to be the fault of the politicians of any colour(and by that I mean the colour they travel under).

All great change is never achieved without some degree of discomfort/pain.
We can only hope that when all the in fighting is over, there might be a better system in place...or a more acceptable political class....but I won't be holding my breath on that one.

Re: Labour Party

Re: Labour Party

I think that one of the main reasons why there has not been a formal challenge is that Jeremy Corbyn would(in the event of a leadership contest) be entitled to put himself on the ballot paper.
So it is not beyond reason that the grass roots could re-elect him as leader a second time.
This would cause humiliation for those MP's who have resigned from the shadow cabinet.....and those with the pack mentality.

I do not trust Tom Watson and would not put it past him to be making bullets for other labour MP's to be firing(though this is only my cynical and suspicious view.....and the only grounds I have for this suspicion is that when the brown stuff hit the fan, he distanced himself from the fallout by shaking his booty at Glastonbury - what an unedifying sight that must have been).

Re: Labour Party

Watson is a guy who is playing both ends against the middle imo. Wouldn't trust him with a potted plant.

Re: Labour Party

Labour can rest easy now, the White Knights, in the form of Blair and Kinnock, are charging to the rescue of the Labour Party and are going to save the country from itself over the EU.
I think there may be something in the report that Corbyn will stay in position until the Chilcot Report is published on Wednesday and he can then call Blair a liar - in Parliament of course, therefore with impunity other than a slapped wrist from the Speaker. Another interesting week ahead.

Oh well if a war criminal and a money grabbing euro chappie can rescue Labour all must be well.

Re: Labour Party

Both of these men are hairy flatulent bum holes and I would not trust either of them as far as I could spit.
I can think of nothing good to say about either one of them.
I just hope that come Wednesday that grinning Tony Blair is in handcuffs and being held for war crimes....he is a despicable liar.
Rant over!

Re: Labour Party

Our sad excuse for an M.P. says on twitter "A Poll shows the majority of Labour Voters want J.C. to go" I recall last week the polls saying Remain would win, The sooner this snake of ours is evicted from the pit the better imho. Blair is telling us now what we should be doing, I remember that piece of crap telling us Saddam had WMDs He is responsible in my mind for the snakes in the party i loved, today.
