Sorry Rob, this is exactly why I won't go on marches for a "peoples vote", people like you who clearly are Corbyn supporters can't accept there are massive issues in the Labour Party.Herd wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 8:58 amThe independent Group are a bunch of Political nonentities with the exception of the vile creep Chuka and none of them would win a seat as an independent .
You know Rob the independants give me hope about UK politics, at last a business friendly socially conscious group of people who want to offer something different to the main two parties.
Labour have a rudderless leader in Corbyn who has more allegiances with Moscow than he does with the EU. Not forgetting his handling of anti semitism which is rife in the Labour Party. Then the Tories who where always the party of business until the right wingers started to dictate to TM about the terms of brexit, the shit is hitting the fan as we speak but none of them care about anything other than their own careers.
I listened to Anna Soubry on LBC today, and I just couldnt get over how much common sense she speaks. Chuka Umunna no doubt should have been Labour leader, they might actually have won the election last year but in a way thats a blessing that Corbyn didnt stand down, he (Umunna) is now involved in a group of progressive forward thinking people. I just hope they can form a new party that gives the status quo a kick up the back side.
There shouldnt be another referendum really, but for me the way some brexiteers have behaved especially the far right it would be karma to have another ballot with remain as an option. I suspect with a lot of manufacturing jobs going this year it may really focus peoples minds before they make a commitment to vote leave again if asked to do so.
Ante semitism isnt rife in the Labour party but there is considerable anti Israeli sentiment that's a massive difference .
The Israelis have been paying people within the Labour party ever since Corbyn was elected to undermine his leadership because they are deeply afraid of him becoming prime minister and they might not be able to murder palistinians with impunity if he was PM .
The Whole anti semite bullshit is as false as the "bullying" bullshit the blarites tried when seeking to stop Corbyn becoming elected .
All of the group were elected under a manifesto that there would be no 2nd vote but the moment they were elected they have tried along with Theresa May to make sure Brexit doesnt happen.
Labour is in turmoil because of the parlimentary MPs' refusal to accept Corbyn as a leader despite the overwhelming support he has from the membership .
There is nothing moral about these people if they had any integrity they would take their chances on a by election ,but they won't because they would lose .
There is also nothing right wing about a hard Brexit ,it's common sense when faced with the intransegence of the Eu and should have been prepared for 2 years ago .
I'd honestly never heard of Anna Soubry untill she resigned ,but Il read up on her !
It's not for you to say whether there is antisemitism going on in the Labour party, it's for people like Luciana Berger who has been viciously abused online by Labour activists. You don't have to go far to see that the abuse is deeper than an anti-Israel sentiment.
There are now 9 Labour MP's who have resigned from the Labour Party this week. Can you honestly blame them with a rudderless leader like Corbyn who is a known to have voted against every EU Treaty proposed in Parliament. And yet people like you support the Labour Party.
The independents are a breath of fresh air, they will never command a majority in UK politics but they can give those that act against the best interests of the UK and by that I mean the ERG and the likes of Jeremy Corbyn a bloody nose. As things stand it looks like its the Labour Party that is going to suffer more. In an election where they celebrated coming 2nd (Arsene Wenger analogy possibly), their worst Leader since Michael Foot is a joke brexiteer who can't even bring himself to admit it, for fear of alienating his party against millions of Labour supporters who voted brexit.
For someone who is a remainer, your debate is lame to put it lightly. You describe Chuka Umunna as a vile creep, well he's well educated and more articulate/statesman like than anything you have in the Labour party. And he's a socialist (or was) that understands business, you know something Labour have failed to understand for decades. They would rather waste money to create a false economy, rather than encourage business to create true wealth that trickles down to all sectors of the economy.
