The Politics Thread

[bobo the clown]

Corbyn's agent thought she had vacated and entered only to find she had not so immediately apologised.

"Corbyn's agent'" is McLusky's girlfriend and Big Len has spent years trying to shoe-horn her into a safe seat despite her being barred from official office for malpractice. Now she's Jeremy's office manager with keys to a Labour offices in Westminster.

OK. Don't see what's going on while it's happening. Just realise you were warned when the scales drop from your eyes.

... & Worthy, the ffs. See above. AND my remark that 'direct action' is great fun, until it gets put of hand and until it's on a topic you DON'T disagree with.

The breaks won't easily be put on o ce this rabble get steamed up.

Look. What the fck do I care. Watching them tear themselves apart .... other than that I DO believe in a proper opposition.

[Worthy4England]

Yup got the bit about it being related to something you don't agree with.

People generally take large scale direct action when governments of any colour, pass stupid legislation that directly affects them...

[Prufrock]

Just seen the McDonnell down the camera speech on Marr this morning. Incredible. Shadow Chancellor? Jesus wept.

I have no problem with people taking "direct action" particularly.

Part of the conspiracy to keep us in Europe. Make us more like the French.

Until they turn up outside mock-Tudor establishments.

Anyhow, young man, I believe you've used a direct action approach yourself a few times down the years, judging from the places you've mentioned you're persona non grata in.

I stand my ground.


But on my own & I don't intimidate people .... well, not so far as I know !!

[Worthy4England]

I'm a bit scared of the smiley you used...and I'm sure there's more than one clown wielding custard pies.

Is direct action code for "piss and whinge about bloody Tories, on social media" when Jeremy is anihilated at the next election but bravely says he will carry on as Labour leader?

no - i think bobo was talking about poll-tax riot action....

[bobo the clown]

Street marches turning to riots. Sit-ins. Occupations. Violence, actual or threatened. Road blocks.

Just ask any non-Corbyn supporting Labour MP. They'll tell you.

Nah, I think it'll mainly be polite, and not so polite whinging on social media, meself....

[Lord Kangana]

I remember my dad explaining the poll tax to my grandad (a tory btw, in case anybody is stupid enough to imagine riots to be the preserve of any particular side) in advance of it being implemented.

His rather prescient response was "they can't do that, if they do there'll be bloody riots on the streets!".

I don't think I can change the world via direct action though.

so - let me get this clear - you are whining in advance about the prospect of corbynites whining on the internet - whilst whining on the internet almost every day about Corbyn?

is that right?

It's not as if it historically had any form, in relation to riots...other than the previous times governments had tried to introduce it...
