She's off on one again !!
 

That marvellous Miss Harman, remember her ? Labours steward, in the absence of an identified Master/Mistress she's the one holding the reins, has once more made her views clear on the lack of distaff in the corridors of power, well in as much as it affects Labour at any rate. I have included for your perusal the following link :-

Harriet Harman: half of Labour shadow cabinet should be women - Telegraph

Of particular note ?? are passages 4+5 then 15,16+17. The Lass never ceases to disappoint. I do feel there are a few more things that could be laid at her parties door, but they wouldn't really do them any favours now would they ? So the less said, anyway enjoy ! :)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

She should be out working the streets of Bradford - it's 100% women there.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Why is she a smackhead?:D sure acts like one.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Doubt she would make a living on the game even in Bradford - would have to be a real masochist to go with her.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Hapless Bloody Harriet, if it was up to her men would be banned full stop, must be that public school upbringing

I love this line,
"For every villager in Africa whose life has been transformed by cancelling third world debt, that is our legacy.''

Shame they could not do that with the UK debt they managed to make!!!!!:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I blame it on her poor childhood
She was born in London to the Harley Street physician John Bishop Harman FRCP and his wife Anna (née Spicer), a solicitor. Her parents both came from non-conformist backgrounds — her grandfather Nathaniel Bishop Harman was a prominent Unitarian and the Spicer family were well known congregationalists. Her aunt is Elizabeth Pakenham, Countess of Longford, and her cousins include the writers Lady Antonia Fraser, Lady Rachel Billington, and Thomas Pakenham.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Her husband was allowed a safe Labour seat despite the fact he is male
"Jack Dromey (born 21 September 1948) is a British Labour politician and trade unionist, who has been the Member of Parliament for Birmingham Erdington since 2010. He was previously the Deputy General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union and the Treasurer of the Labour Party. He was also, for some time, the Secretary of the Brent Trades Council, including when it organised the Grunwick Dispute in 1977. He is married to Harriet Harman, currently the acting Leader of the Labour Party"

I can't work it out... washing, ironing and such is a full time job..how do they fit in the time to be a MP?... just goes to show women are better at multi-tasking than us blokes.;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Easy Mancie, with comments like that,Gordon will call you a bigot.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Multi-tasking? I'm surprised Mancie knows the meaning of the word.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

They may do it more often Mancie, but we can compete on our level, Pint in one hand, Pie in the other & watching the Footy 3 things at once, who says Men cant Multi-task ! :D :D

Oh & ignoring them chuntering away in the background on the phone to their mates make that 4 !:D :D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

no they aint men are just lazy.:D;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Says it all, really...do as I say, not as I do. Just like Prescott and all the rest of 'em right across the political spectrum. Totally hypocrites. :rolleyes:

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

You speak for yourself cashy:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Labour leaders backed Diane Abbott, the Left-wing MP, yesterday over her decision to educate her son privately, days after condemning a Tory MP for saying he would do the same.
Labour MPs were taken by surprise by the news that she had chosen the £10,000-a-year City of London Boys School for her son, by-passing four comprehensives in Hackney and Stoke Newington, the constituency she represents.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Why does that not suprise me, whatever side "******* All":rolleyes:

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I watched Diane Abbott on question time last week and she was awful :(
It was a complete embarassment from start to finish so if she ends up as leader of the labour party then that will put back the fight against the present government for years to come

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Not likely to happen is it. I'll give you a clue as to who I think will be the next leader of the Labour Party. Someone with the name Miliband.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Is that the one who looks like a little lad :D :D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Bernard you never fail to amaze me with your forthright thinking and political presence, who would ever have thought that:eek::eek::eek::theband::theband::theband:

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I think Ed Balls is going to be the surprise winner
he was a Bildeburg attendee - groomed for it, by those really in control

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I'd be surprised Margaret, if that was to happen. He's a long way back at the moment.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I think the Labour party are underestimating the public's loathing for any candidate so closely associated with the Blair/Brown governments.

It could very well mean that they don't win the next election.

If they were at all in touch with the mood of the electorate they'd realise that it was time for change, and time to consider what alternative to the centralist the Con/Lib coalition might be most appealing to a disillusioned country.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

It really is quite intriguing that so many of the views expressed lately by runners for the top position, were in direct opposition to old Gordo & his crew. Had they been so vociferous & outspoken previously, perhaps they could of deterred the man from his course of self destruction & possibly Labour (somewhat battered & dishevelled) may have hung on to power.

As it is we're left to try & comprehend this internal wrangling & turmoil on our own merits. Oh dear, it certainly isn't looking as though all's well & squared, disagreement, denials, positive discrimination & deary me, plottings & allegiances on the suggestion of others ! The Borgias ?? Haven't got anything on this lot !

Diane Abbott wins enough names to stand for leadership - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Burnham said on tonight's local BBC news that he didn't oppose the cutting of the 10p tax band because he was 'a team player'.

He may be wearing his working class roots badge to look appealing, but the Cambridge grauduate and careerist politican, spins as much guff as the other clone candidates.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Agree, was close to throwing up, when i heard the lying toad.:cool:

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

The Milliband's dad - Ralph - was a notorious rampant commy back in the fities and sixties and no doubt like all Marxists he believed in the family and hereditry principle of government. That applies whether it's North Korea with the ll Sungs, Cuba with the Castro's, or closer to home, the UK with the Wedgewood-Benns and now the Millibands.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

A team player hey, looks like the team weren't that good they got relegated:rolleyes:

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

As opposed to your lot, who had to amalgamate to stay up.

ConDem United.

;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Ya but we made, or should I say they made great advances on the previous season although they just missed out on the dig prize and had to share it with those less fortunate ones, sharing carrying Conservatives:D:D:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Yes, must have been gutting to end the season so badly, after having the bookies chalking you up as odds on favourites, and being so many points ahead at the start of the new year.

:rolleyes:

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Well what can you expect when they put wrong candidates in wrong seats:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I think given past performances in previous losing seasons, that's exactly why you weren't allowed to pick your own team.


;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Ya but since then there had been a new pitch laid and the opposition were considerably weaker, there captain was unable to even toss the coin right never mind muster his team;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I think your's is what's called a 'lose, lose situation'.

Making you twice as good at being losers.

If you had got your own way, we could have tripled that loser title for you.

:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Thats something we'll never know;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

No.

It's sad when the new owners don't trust the management to pick their own team.


:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Ya but it all ended in tears for the new management, like we said it would;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Just as it did in the seasons when you were still allowed to pick your own teams.

As I said, a lose/lose situation.

:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Ya but since then there had been a new pitch laid and the opposition were considerably weaker and their captain was unable to even toss he coin right never mind muster his team:eek::eek::eek: Ground Hog Day:D:D:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Come on guys, back to the thread. HH would not make a living in any seedy town/city area unless one is a masochist.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Sorry, I didn't realise the thread's subject was a fantasy, imagining what Ms. Harman's chances were if she was a prostitute, rather than a politician.

Harman can stand accused of hypocrisy, especially after her husband landed a safe seat, but she is not the only politican who sadly favours positive discrimination.

Both the caring, sharing, hug-a-hoodie, embracing of all minorities Conservative Lites and the wooly, bend over backwards Liberal Democrats, had candidate lists that favoured certain gender, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.

So if there's a whiff of political correctnes about Harman, it equally applies to her cross-party colleagues.

;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I think it would be a good idea to re-introduce the 'ducking stool' for candidates who agree to be on 'women only' lists :eek: :eek:

joking , don't want folks to think I am a misogynist, bad enough someone thinks I'm a religious nutter :D ;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

You'll be ducked out after you'd dipped all the women, blacks, Asians, gays and lezzers, who made it onto the A-list of party candidates, primarily because of their 'diversity'.

Happily our new M.P. wasn't foisted on us by some trendy Wendy from party HQ in London.

Our local Labour party selected a local candidate, and the people of the locale thought him the best person for the job.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

He's been a bit quiet of late , imagine he must be busy decorating the spare bedroom round at Mancies place for his new London digs :D :D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Mancie's?

Can you decorate a doorway?

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Why does Mancie need a doorway when he's got his park bench?

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

No problem.. but do have some unruly tories and lib-dems ditching empty beer cans.

Beer cans Mancie:eek::eek::eek::eek: Champagne bottles maybe, but beer cans:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Priceless have some green:D:D:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Er...thanks.

Unless by that you mean you still have that urine infection.

In which case, please don't wet the cardboard.

:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Reading all the way through this thread, I've had the nagging feeling that something's missing...what can it be?

I know! There's no sign of our resident crusader against this sort of thing, Ken Moss, who can usually be relied upon to take a stand against the sort of addle-brained thinking that Ms Harman has displayed.

I wonder where he can be..."too busy with local issues" perhaps? ;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

It's political correctness gone political.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

yer forgetting the quote from the "wanna Be Leader" the other day on tv. .....its teamwork.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Well its against the party rules to slag of the figure heads of the party Wyn, or didn't you know

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Is that why you left the Conservative party?

Oh no, you didn't leave because you can never criticise the leadership, since you'd never do that any way.

You left because they didn't trust you.

:D

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

The trouble is G you've only been playing at politics since the formation of Accy Web, prior to that god knows what your poison was, If you'd have known me for longer you'd never have made a stupid statement like the above;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

...and if you'd known me for longer, or even read what's been posted on here, I received my first death threat, because of my oposition to the National Front, at the age of fifteen, and although I've never been a member of any political party, I've been involved with various political causes all my life.

Besides, it might not be how you'd have described it, but you informed us that you left the Conservative party because you weren't able to choose your own candidate list, ie: they didn't trust you to select the candidate, therefore what I said is perfectly true.

Some may 'play' at politics.

If I'm going to commit my time to anything, I play to win. The majority of causes I've been involved with, have been won.

;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Labour's acting leader, Harriet Harman, today nominated Diane Abbott for the party's leadership.

Ms Harman said she was doing so in the hope of helping to ensure there is a woman on the ballot paper, and will not cast her vote in the election this September.

Both these MPs told their constituents that their kids had to go to the local comprehensive, guess where both these Labour MPs sent theirs?

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

...and more comprehensive schools were created under Mrs Thatcher, than under any previous Secretary of State for Education.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Still no comment on your party leader's ridiculous idea, Ken? Funny how you're usually so forthright and vocal in your opposition to this sort of PC madness, yet you've gone all coy on us on this one.

I wonder if you'd have been so silent if it was a Tory or LibDem politician who came up with the idea? ;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I've not actually been reading the thread until now...whoops!

It's like any other 'positive discrimination' idea, I don't think it's healthy. We had it a few years ago that 50% of police officers should be black, but 50% of the population aren't black so how does that represent the public? Shouldn't it be more about the best people for the job rather than slavishly satisfying statistics?

Firmly in the 'disagree' camp but Labour members in Hyndburn are allowed to have opinions of their own, unlike certain other parties who get whipped into line over every decision.

Even going to the toilet during party meetings.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

That's because you've been too busy with local issues!

I somehow think that Harriet would not approve of you...a reactionary element in the party ranks. Still, fair play to you for standing up to be counted! ;)

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

I fear the Grand Order of the Boot on a daily basis....honest.

Re: She's off on one again !!
 

Describing your party leader in those somewhat ungentlemanly terms is probably pushing it a bit, Ken! ;)
