    The UK Labour party’s farewell to the working class
    The people around Corbyn think of poor white Britons as improbably romantic heroes
    New Labour was always misread as a middle-class takeover of a working-class movement. It was something close to the opposite. By hardening its line on crime and defence, by cloaking it unsqueamishly in the British flag, by taking school standards and welfare abuse seriously, Tony Blair returned a party captured by the whims of the Brahmin left to actual working people.

    Jess Philips - a good example of the lack of talent on the Labour benches.

    It is an unfortunate trait of the Leftist that when faced with an inconvenient truth like the cultural disposition of some muslims to treat women badly, they search desperately for a false equivalence.

    Cripes. That really is indefensible.

    It's hard to see how she can keep the whip.

    I think the argument that her malformed brain was trying to get out was that men heckling and wolf-whistling and generally objectifying girls on nights out in Birmingham city centre is as bad as sexually assaulting the women in Cologne. However, leaving aside the fact that she's managed to belittle both the Cologne victims and Birmingham women, this surely implies that we should ban Syrian immigration AND send a squad of morality police into Birmingham centre to throw the drunken young men in jail (and probably the drunken young women in jail as well for betraying the sisterhood).

    Perhaps Birmingham women should be forced to wear some sort of all-enveloping garment to prevent men from objectifying them.

    I think a simpler garment could be used on a certain MP.

    A Gag.

    'Malformed brain' wow!......so much anger and hate!..........perhaps the men concerned should change their behaviour? It's quite simple really if you spend your energy pointing the finger of blame where it should go instead of abusing a good new female MP who clearly smacks the right wing male bigots where it hurts most.:rotfl:

    Do you think it makes a difference to the women being assaulted what the cultural background of the perpetrator is?

    Let's face it Moby, by far the largest amount of hate spilled on this thread has been your repeated ad hominem attacks on other posters. The vast majority of posts have been slack jawed amazement at the almost willful incompetence of Mr Corbyn and his team.

    Really! Absolute tosh. This thread is a vehicle for repeated gratutious abuse in one direction only reminicent of the bores you see dressed in their pringle jumpers propping up the golf club bar. I merely re-dress the imbalance!;) Also to accuse me of ad hominen attacks is rich considering you created the thread for the very same purpose. Hypocrite!
