Retsdon Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 The Labour Party is an irrelevance for the next 5 years. Far more important is to take a good hard look at the crew that has been charged with steering the Ship of State through some extremely difficult waters.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I see Lady Nugee aka Emily Thornberry failed to get sufficient votes to stay in the race. Only left with Kier Starmer, Lisa Nandy and Rebecca Wrong-Daily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, no, that would mean they might pick someone who is viable. All the time the party is unelectable means real work can be done.

TRINITY Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Well she let the cat out of the bag on the labour tactics to win a general election ! She did not deny wanting total free movement of all types of immigration and new arrivals will immediately have full citizens rights including voting. In other words they intend to import sufficient people to out vote the rest of us😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRINITY Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Well turned off channel 4 recent labour leader debate. All three given a tremendously easy ride , no tough scrutiny and nothing like here near as tough as they gave the Tories. Pointless exercise in futility from a left wing broadcaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the creation of a benefits dependent underclass is the only way they can get votes in the 21st century. The traditional working class voter has lost faith in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you create a high unemployment society with a large number (of voters) dependant on benefits - then as a 'socialist' welfare state orientated government show generosity (with other peoples money) to the benefit recipients - you can remain in power for a long time - usually until the money runs out. It has always been Labour's model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add another tactic, allow as many non contributing foreigners to come freely into the country to swamp the NHS and then moan and grown about how it's being starved of cash.

And deliberately not train enough doctors and nurses in this country so that we are constantly having to recruit from abroad. Then they can say without the doctors and nurses from abroad the NHS would collapse. Like that's some sort of justification? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, Labour seem to be doing everything in their power to make themselves unelectable, so we'll just blow untold £bn's on HS2 instead.

chrisjpainter Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 If you want to be amused/horrified have a bash at this. You get to see who most fits your opinions. It's truly terrifying, that the questions can be that loaded towards the Corbynist landscape. The loonies really are in charge, but they seem completely oblivious to how deep it runs! https://www.comparethecandidates.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR1MZMv_FANEwGhEefEXcN_BDXno3EUYBv0E7sTEfYP_1VJRnVOCdf21nOk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
