What a 'Labour' party who polled less than 1 Mill less than the Conservatives and who have nearly 60 less MPs ? No more from me on this thread.Cannot risk hypertension commenting on these 'Left-Wing' reprobates.Not even going to bother reading any more on this thread.
Edited by Willo (21 Jun 2017 9.21am) Well on the other hand, they're not forming a coalition government with a bunch of rabid right wing Christian terrorist sympathisers. I'd call that a 'moral' victory.

The day of rage demo (how ironic that the mail are moaning about rage when whipping it up is their raisin d'etre) is nothing to do with the Labour party. It's also ironic that those who say they are not fascistic want to prevent the democratic right to demonstrate. Where are the hordes of right-wing demonstrators on Westminster Green screaming 'Labour scum' and spitting at anyone they think might be a socialist. There are no enraged conservatives mounting a picket outside Jeremy Corbyn's house and hurling abuse. Nor have conservatives daubed paint on monuments, smashed up shop-fronts or brought traffic to a standstill while they attack the 'pigs' in an expression of unconstrained toddler rage. Conservatives have not questioned the very outcome of the poll based on a blithe and arrogant assumption that the Labour voters were thick, uneducated imbeciles who have been serially lied to by Corbyn ...

Yet, it would of been a legitimate government if Labour organised a deal with the Lib Dens, SNP, Greens and Sinn Fein. I wonder if Russell Brand will be there. Edited by Hansy (21 Jun 2017 9.16am) Lib Dems, Greens, UKIP etc I think would be acceptable. DUP, SNP or Sinn Fein - definitely not - They have very specific nationalist agendas and represent only a small minority of the over all UK Electorate (and only stand in a sub-set of areas where their nationalist rhetoric and bulls**t is popular. If the DUP, SNP and Sinn Fein stood in elections across the UK - Fair enough. But their interests are not even remotely representative of the UK as a whole.

While I support peoples right to protest peacefully I really find it distasteful in the extreme when pressure groups hijack other peoples misfortune and grief to further their own, often totally unrepresentative, agendas.

It seems we are being dictated to by a bunch of dopey Leftie 20 year olds instead.

79 people at least burned to death in a fire, that the UK Fire Service provision had no real capacity to deal with, and the building contributed to. It seems certain that most of them died for economic reasons. Economic reasons that they themselves did not benefit from. Its one thing to die because you bought a ridiculous sports car and lost control. Its another thing to die because someone else bought a ridiculous sports car and lost control. People should be angry. And its not really surprising that political parties that represent 'social interest' over capital, would also be angry. Those that claim to represent the electorate should be angry on their behalf. I find it staggering that we would think otherwise. If we just sit passively, wave some signs in the designated 'protest zone', and wait, nothing really will happen. Grenfell should be pollicised by the left - Social Housing is a left wing issue. It has been since the days of inception of the Labour party.

Well students have finished at Uni' for the year so there will be plenty of naive twenty year olds to join up with the Commies and union stooges to hold hands and break a few windows. The whole thing is a laughable and slightly sinister attempt by Labour to take advantage of the 'youthquake'. Meanwhile all the governments plans to manage the deficit and plan for health care will go out of the window and be replaced by 'compromise'. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself to make sure this stuff is real. By manage I assume you mean balls up completely? If you believe they've done anything other than mismanage the deficit or the NHS then you're barking.

Can someone fill me in - what are they actually protesting about? There has just been an election - the chance to kick out the government. The Tories were firmly given a bloody nose (I was one who deserted them) but they won the most seats legitimately. To say most people have now proved they are against austerity is very reductionist - there are as many reasons for people to vote as there are people. It's the same argument as saying "shut up about brexit, because 90% of people just voted for parties supporting brexit, so clearly there is now a massive majority in favour". People vote on the entire manifesto of plans - some would be swayed by spending pledges, some by defence policy, some by any number of other things. Looking forward to the chants of "What do we want? We don't know. "When do we want it? Now!"

Blowing trumpets at frightened foxes.
