I'm not sure if I should be flattered about all this attention. I can name you plenty of people who have been expelled in the tory party for much less than what she was cleared of. Well, if you could, that would be great, I'd like to read that (seriously). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I see that the Labour party have made a slightly, erm, 'left field' selection to stand as the candidate in Worcester. I guess Robin Walker's the most pleased to see such a pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't disclose any of that on her application. She'll be gone sooner rather than later Still absolutely shocking that no one picked up on it sooner though, especially in a key marginal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy Richards, who has been described as ‘a fantasist’ after making claims against MI5 among others, has posted a response on her Facebook page this evening. Her statement: In response to articles and comments posted over the weekend I would like to initially state that if being a victim of domestic harassment and standing up for my rights makes me a fantasist then shame on those levelling such taunts, as it is clear they would rather have women and black people suffer in silence than seek advocacy and resolution. By way of clarification of the matters raised, between 2015 - 2017 there were a number of unexplained incidents in and around my home including home invasion, theft, a car break-in, computer hacking, bike tampering, mail tampering, a fridge fire and electrical surges rendering my computers and mobile phones unusable. This all coincided with a series of serious unexplained health conditions. ... As both of the above cases named ‘Progress’, a campaign group associated with the Labour Party, and Hackney Council as respondents, I discussed the matters at length with executive officers from the Party prior to the Worcester selection process commencing. Documents related to both cases have also been in the public domain for some time. I apologise to Labour Party members for any consternation or upset the articles published this weekend may have caused, but I can assure you categorically the cases brought were all above board. I don't believe the court saw any of these claims in the same light that she did and obviously still does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Jeremy Corbyn has belatedly joined the likes of those daft centrists and vile Blairites trying to undermine that nice Jeremy Corbyn by making unfounded attacks on Labour and anti-semitism. here Quote Jeremy Corbyn has issued a strong condemnation of antisemitism before a crunch meeting with Jewish communal groups, saying the party’s structures were unfit for purpose and that it must confront the fact that a number of members held antisemitic views. The Labour leader said in the past fortnight alone, more than 20 individuals had been suspended from party membership, and more were being investigated.... ...Writing in the Evening Standard, before Tuesday’s meeting in parliament, Corbyn said: “We have not done enough to get to grips with the problem, and the Jewish community and our Jewish members deserve an apology. My party and I are sorry for the hurt and distress caused.” Corbyn said Labour’s staff had been sent “examples of Holocaust denial, crude stereotypes of Jewish bankers, conspiracy theories blaming 9/11 on Israel, and even one member who appeared to believe that Hitler had been misunderstood”. Actually, credit to him for getting there in the end. Not sure about his timing, though, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he's taken the action he has, although I'd expect nothing less. You know you quoted a tongue in cheek post, that doesn't really say anything other than I don't believe that Jeremy Corbyn is an anti-Semite though, right?
