O/T:- Who needs Parliament?

Seriously BFP how on can you defend this shambles of a Labour party?

As usual from Momentum clones you have no facts to base your comments on, let’s bring education in this country down to the level of Corbyn...Socialists aka Marxists totally detest excellence in anything, they are the party of envy and if you don’t think these economically illiterate morons would not ruin the country, as they usually do, you are thicker than I first thought. You have obviously enrolled in the Diane Abbott school of advanced mathematics and hypocrisy, at least you give us all a good laugh.

Whilst I'm not a "Momentum clone" - whatever that means - I replied to one of your standard tabloid front page-based "arguments" a couple of days ago, with a few facts, and you promptly disappeared. Think a certain chap named Elite may have suggested that that's your usual move on here before, but if you're going to do it then please don't come back two pages later with such a silly statement.

For what it's worth, I admire excellence; I wish there was more of it - particularly in the Notts performances of the last 18 months. Doesn't mean I have to admire cheating, bigotry, or opportunity / reward based on prior privelege rather than actual talent.

Agree with your points regarding excellence, If much of what we see of the privately educated wasn't just the clowns that go on to have political careers and was more of the people who are out there making a difference in the world then the reputations of these schools would not be so tarnished.
Places should be earned on merit rather than be a birth right.
The discussion of abolishing them does come across as a spiteful move to take a swipe at the few rather than a genuine attempt to bring everyone across the board to a higher standard.

The people's flag is palest pink

It's not as red as you may think

The BBC will stand and cheer

The Labour government is here

We'll drop the country in the ****

But they're too thick to notice it

And just to prove we're still sincere

We'll sing the red flag once a year

The traditional Red Flag is to be replaced with the Wheels on the Bus this year.

I see the EDL far-right crowd are making even less sense than usual this evening.
Labour won 40% of the vote in 2017, same again and we'll have a Corbyn premiership for the next 5 years.

It's the tories who have wreaked havoc on this country for the last 10 years - no one else.

Tomorrow, a certain pathological liar, who shouldn't be defended by anybody, might well get his comeuppance. Paying this woman 126,000 quid of our money is the least of his problems.

It's ok, they got Dianne Abbott to count them, she says there are twelfty!

You really think labour will bring in anywhere near 40% of the vote at the GE??? what planet have you been living on for the last few months?

I know polls aren't always reliable but they aren't often THAT wrong!

[the_anticlough]

Labour won 40% of the vote in 2017 = fact
'same again and we'll have a Corbyn premiership for the next 5 years' - that would follow. I didn't say it's what I 'think'. They might win 36% and have a clear majority like the tories in 2015. That's all it takes in this system.

Interesting that 2 statements of fact were the bait and not "EDL, far-right crowd''. I guess if the cap fits, wear it

If anyone here had any doubts that Labour had lost the plot, one only needs watch the events of their conference and the rubbish they are proposing/

Government to buy 30,000 electric cars and rent them out to people and that will somehow help something - with £3.6 billion investment in electric car chargers across the UK that no one except 50000 rich people actually drive (less than 2 percent of the cars in the UK)
Abolish Private school to somehow give poorer people better education
Four day working week "without any economic turbulence" and somehow with the 'same pay'
Still don't know whether they respect democracy or not

Can we stop pretending that Labour are the party of the working class now?

Abolish Private School?
Some mistake surely? Chakrabarti's son goes to Dulwich College. £18 000 a year.
