And the managers of firms in Scotland.Worthy4England wrote:I have to ask. Have you actually had ninja's bricking your windows or crowding outside your house, Hobes? I know there were incidents involving Labour MP'S which should be subject to the full force of the law. Quite correctly so. As should people who think it's fine to firebomb mosques.
Personally I had bricks thrown at the van I was in at British Aerospace at Wharton and got told in no uncertain terms I get my fcuking head kicked in if I crossed the picket line of about 500 people.
The Police and security just told me I'd be better off going home, I went in and left late after most of them had fcuked off home.

Corbyn could just hire some Hamas and Hezbollah security forces. Nobody important in Labour these days would object
Or McDonnell could ask his IRA friends.
Momentum has plenty of thugs willing to do the job.
The Graun are reporting that Momentum have removed "non-violent" from their code of ethics so we can look forward to their kind and gentle enforcers taking care of security.

Does that not sort of disqualify them from all sorts of things political ?Quote:

I do wish I'd seen all this coming. Then, maybe, I'd not fail to understand politics so badly. Y'know ... be a little less .... what's the word ..... "c*ntish"

At least it's a step up from The Daily Mail.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Not quite as embarrassing as posting the same message twice, but yes, just an absolute mess.
I just don't get...why? Why would you lie about that?

Having said that it is claimed a minute or so after the photo was taken he was shown to a seat and sat in it. Which is pretty shall we say....misleading....at best. Doubt even good old Alaistair would go that far....

Re: The Politics Thread
I can understand the idea of making a point, but why do it on a train that clearly isn't full? And then say it is full while at the same time banging on about the need for more investment in trains? Did he think he wouldn't be found out?

Re: The Politics Thread
There's another pic that shows him walking past ones that were both empty and non-standard.
Someone has also found a quote in Hansard of him complaining about non-functioning CCTV on trains.

There's also an image his folk have put about v bigging up "our" achievements e.g. Sure start, min wage, civ partnerships. I don't f*cking think so, sunshine.

Despite a lack of empathy to his objectives .... and complete loathing of the tactics of his henchmen ... I DO hope this is 'Team Corbyn' playing games and he's blundering into it.KeyserSoze wrote:I can understand the idea of making a point, but why do it on a train that clearly isn't full?

But it's shoddy stuff and the man who exposes a "new type of politics" should steer well away from this.
