Edited by nickgusset (14 Sep 2017 2.36pm) Is it just fascist Sikhs that you are prejudiced against then, or are there other categories? We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Originally posted by dannyh What would you describe momentum members as ? There's loads of different types of people in momentum. Bus drivers, retired grannies, students, gays, straights, teachers , doctors etc etc. In the main,they all want labour to represent ordinary people and bring back essential services and amenities to public ownership. Of course there will be some radicals and ejits among them, much as there is with any large group of people.

Being jailed for making a bomb isn't damning? That's just one example of many facts in there. You are right though, some of the citations are from opinion pieces. If you wish to dismiss those, fine. But you can't dismiss the arrests and prison sentences.
