Comrade Jeremy in Luddite pose

                                                                                                                                               

It's no coincidence that a modern, tech savvy, flexible, customer friendly service created by capitalists has been banned by a Labour Mayor, under pressure from the Comrades in the GMB.

And he's supposed to be a moderate compared to Corbyn; Gord help us all.

EDIT:
And a Labour Mayor who was bunged 30 Grand towards his election campaign expenses by the very same GMB. So that doesn't stink like a week old kipper left out in the sun then.

Abbott claims that proper immigration controls are "racist"

Abbott to claim Tories have 'weaponised' immigration in conference speech

There's a first.

Think the Mary Whitehouse experience would be akin to politically purgatory, harsh but maybe necessary.

Well it will be just the latest in a long line of U-turns. At least we dont keep hearing this 'man of principle' bullsh*t any more. *** he's starting to make Tony Blair look honorable and trustworthy.

Unfortunately we still do from the Corbynistas, but then they are always full of bullsheet anyway. During his interview on Marr this morning, he was more slippery than an eel coated in lard.

Completely ducked all the questions relating to supporting illegal strikes, and his past support for Venezuela.

I wonder if the truth will ever come out over this? Obviously far more to it that the official version

Dugdale quit with '10 minutes' notice'

Yet another Labour hypocrite, who sends his children to private schools

Sarwar relinquishes shares in family firm

Cliff

Sigh.

I've never yet had a remainer make a proper argument why free movement in favour of a primarily white EU is not racist, but a system for the whole world based solely on merit with no account of race whatsoever is racist.

So Andy Burnham has been banned from speaking. It was touch and go with the Mayor of London and 'off message' speakers from the floor (like Dennis Skinner!) are banned.

Labour supporters are saying this is more tightly controlled than anything during the Blair years.

The young 'Oh Jeremy' supporters obviously did not study Orwell's 1984 at school.

It's no different to what Blair did at Labour Party Conferences, controlled it with an Iron Fist and shunted the likes of Corbyn to the fringes most of the time. The main action on various party rules took place a week or so ago.
