No, I was just trying to ask the question as if someone held a talk akin to what that fringe event discussed at a labour conference with their alignment in politics. The talk at the labour conference was held by Marxists and people from the total left of the spectrum clearly in a bit of an identity crisis as they are starting to look more like social nationalists.

magnkarl Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I see the fringes of Labour have now moved on to hanging effigies of people off bridges in Manchester after a warm up with conspiracy theories in Brighton last week. The far left is "activated" alright, though I'm not sure if it's positive for Labour or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I think perception plays a rather large part in politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked the SWP is in full support of Corbyn's Labour. They have no other alternative than to vote for Labour due to our political system. Labour have gone out to condemn the actions of these people over the last few days so they do feel some responsibility or else they wouldn't feel the need to do that. The fringes of both sides of our political spectrum are just as bad as the other which the last few weeks have proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked, the only political party you are allowed to be a member of as well as the Labour Party is the Co-operative Party. The S.W.P. Are a Trotskyite Communist Party, they have nothing to do with Labour. You are now criticising a party for the people that vote for them even though they have nothing to do with membership of the party. A sort of guilty of thought crime by association beyond your control. Labour have condemned the actions but are still guilty in your eyes, does Theresa May bare some responsibility for the Las Vegas massacre? She's condemned that, must be her feeling responsible Thats quite frankly idiotic and the lack of logic is stunning. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UNITE union is officially supporting Jeremy Corbyn for Labour leadership, with Burnham as second preference. I don't know whether to snigger, laugh, ROFL or ROFLMAO. Possibly a progression through all of those steps. Game on! On 05/07/2015 at 17:52, Awol said: With that record he might just be one - although with his thoughts on common ownership of the means of production then maybe not.... There is more chance of the Commission for Racial Equality being turned into the Harriet Harman School for Lapdancers than there is of this bloke winning the contest. You have to wonder what UNITE are playing at?

Jeremy Corbyn could be that alternative. Looking through the start of this thread, there are some crackers. Some genuinely insightful like from Tony there.

I must have left my keyboard unattended Only thing I'd say is yougov had Corbyn on 35% back in June , so he's actually losing support 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Mr Skinner may be quite concerned at what's happened to the drinking water around the Oxcroft estate near Bolsover. The residents contacted the BBC who arrived, then quickly left when threatened with legal action by Ineos, the fracking company, who'd just been fracking. What a surprise.

He brought it up at PMQs yesterday - his was the last question. May's answer was, unsurprisingly, a load of old waffling wank. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
