The Labour Party

[west didsblue]

Pfft, that was a minor achievement, wait till you hear what she did at Peterloo.

Yet you happily gave your vote to a party led by someone sacked for lying more than once and who told demonstrable lies during the election campaign. People in glass houses.....

Yes, very happily, just like most others.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Fuck - that is indeed a classic

That is exactly what you do all the time - it seems literally all you have any capability to do

Now that is 'ultimate' projection - bravo

No, my opinion of you is based on the overwhelming evidence you supply every day.

Why do polititians mess with their CV? They must know the will be found out. I Remember Blair saying he sat on the Gallowgate and watched wor Jackie play. Er....no seats on the G'gate, and I think you'd be 1 year old when Milburn retired.

he still has some way to go beat Cameron’s love of Villa or is it West Ham or Burnley

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

The TUC say the new Labour leader must be credible, competent & popular.

They are fucked already as not one of them fits the bill.

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

She did health care not corporate apparently.

Oh right

The working classes have always been left economically and right socially, I don't see it as a huge recalibration personally.

My parents were poles apart in the parties they voted for but ALWAYS agreed on social issues....and they were definitely to the right.
They valued "respectability" above all else because, at the end of the day, they and many others like them at that time had little else.
This is why very few men ( and certainly NEVER women) let profanities into "polite" company and certainly not in the home.
I can swear like a trooper but I'm always mindful of where I use it.

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Oh right

As you are a legal eagle how do you think her claims of taking a few part time 'conversion' modules to convert her Man Met Politics & Sociology degree into something that enabled her to become a commercial law specialist / corporate lawyer stack up?

I'm still calling bullshit of the highest order. I wonder with her previous call centre experience if she was cold calling people asking if they had had an accident in previous years?

 

[kevin horlocks wand]

Not really as she left Pinsent Masons in 2003, 4 years before KHW joined.

I should also add pinsent masons was only formed in 2004 by the merger of pinsent Curtis and masons ? They were separate firms in 2003

this is all very odd

To most people the title of corporate lawyer is enough to convince them that the person with that job knows what they are doing. I don't come into contact with many lawyers can anyone clarify if there are any stupid ones out there?

My point in my original comment about her CV and the one above is that she wasn't a corporate lawyer.

well I think we have established she was not a corporate lawyer and she did not work at pinsent masons

I think she probably trained at one of the former firms before the merger as some sort of commercial lawyer . It’s also odd when someone says she worked at a firm for one year .

I will find out

 

[Ardwick Green Blue]

Five years as Labour leader in opposition before the next general election where you will have to win more than 100 seats just to get a bare majority.

It sounds more like a life sentence in a Soviet gulag to me..

Back in the day, I knew loads of stupid lawyers, and a few clever ones as well.
Consider the lawyers who defended Sally Clark who was convicted of killing her children on the evidence of Roy Meadow. This pediatrician cococted a nonsensical statistical theory that the chances of two cot deaths being natural was 70 million to one. The real figure is 70 to one. Here's the rub. Nobody in the court asked Meadow what his theory was based on and what his qualifications in statistics were. (The answer was an article in the Lancet and a calculator. His training in medical stats was er nil.)
Two other women were convicted on the strength of Meadow's Law, but no lawyer challenged his evidence at first instance.

So what , if she is a corporate lawyer as she claims or a healthcare or commercial lawyer she will never have been to court

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

funnily enough I have been a partner in PInsent masons Manchester for the last 12 years and head of corporate there. She has never worked in my team.

Well between you and her Wikipedia profile someone is telling porkies.

I was answering a question which had nowt to do with this lady!

well I am not

She will need to have done a lot worse than exaggerating her CV to get to the levels of Johnson and Corbyn. She will need to have at least done some recruiting for ISIS or broke up a couple of families before she can get the respect of the great British public.

Polititians are as flawed as the rest of us and we cannot expect them to be angels. But, if they want our trust, they should not be so economical with the actualite.
