No wonder we're having problems sorting out Brexit. Yet again the only thing on the political agenda is more equality rubbish like this.Steve Hunt wrote:Jeremy Corbyn suggests "gay history month" could be added to national curriculum:

If it helps to retrospectively out some really unlikely gay political figures in British history, that would be hilarious.Steve Hunt wrote:Jeremy Corbyn suggests "gay history month" could be added to national curriculum:

Nobody genuinely thinks Labour are fighting back. They will continue to be an irrelevance until they ditch Corbyn. Labour have more members than voters in Richmond Park. What an absurd situation to end up in.Roddy wrote:Labour's fightback begins!! err with them losing their deposit after only 1,515 votes.

Much as I despise Labour, it is not good when the official Opposition are so weak.
Agreed.Royal24s wrote:Or perhaps we should scrap the whole tribal thing because it obviously achieves nothing but a lot of hot air.
Isn't it time to elect some representatives who are capable of , and willing to actually DO something constructive ?
Another reason from a long list as to why he should go.Steve Hunt wrote:
A newspaper cutting from May 1987. The eight IRA men were attempting to kill all the police officers inside the Loughgall RUC base at the time they were shot. A civilian was also shot dead by accident, but there is no mention of him in Corbyn's tribute, who appears only concerned for terrorists "who died fighting for an independent Ireland".
That was not a Left wing government, Lawnsy. Blair's more right wing than Majors or the coalition government.kancutlawns wrote:But I thought the left wing maggots were using their will to win everything? They won the general election from 1997 to 2005 inclusive
The trouble is people feel compelled to vote tribally just to keep their least preferred option out . The only time they don't is when you get a stronghold and the guaranteed losers' votes migrates to some of the other parties. UKIP would have swept the board last year if certain Tory strongholds didn't spot the danger of NOT noting Conservative.Roy Twing wrote:Agreed.Royal24s wrote:Or perhaps we should scrap the whole tribal thing because it obviously achieves nothing but a lot of hot air.

Seems to me that corbyn's labour represents the true labour mindset, - the PLP hijacked the party over the years and just became another cheek of the mainstream backside.
The PLP should admit that it is basically a left of centre liberal outfit and ditch the labour misnomer, - maybe join forces with farron's bunch, and call themselves new libdems.
Glad you acknowledge that because it's undeniable the figures are significantly higher now than 6/7 years ago despite the promises to reduce net immigration to the tens of thousands. A promise they made no effort to keep.m4rkb wrote:The trouble is people feel compelled to vote tribally just to keep their least preferred option out .

But the main parties all know the centre ground is the main battlefield these days and as a result it's like voting for the local Police Commissioner. Vote for the one who'll prioritise crime and the victims of crime
But despite the fact they are broadly all the same entity, enough differences still exist to spot left wing and right wing motives. New labour wanted to flood us with immigrants and rub our noses in it. The tories have an even worse record on immigration but there's surely a big difference in wanting to rub people's noses in diversity and one of filling gaps in the jobs market. One welcomes all types of third world shit - and they like it even better when they rock up on benefits with ten kids just to rub our noses in it even further; The other would never think that way.
But all that aside, there is a growing liberalisation of the Tory benches. The likes of Anna Soubry being one case in point.
