Frank Field Quits Labour

[blueonblue]

Who’s smashing windows ?

From the Spectator July 2016;
"At a Labour party meeting in Hove at the weekend, a steward at the college hosting the meeting was spat at by an activist, while Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire’s activists were left ‘frightened, intimidated and in tears’ after a confrontation with pro-Corbyn Momentum activists at a recent local party meeting. Angela Eagle, meanwhile, had a brick thrown through her office window and her staff threatened."

This was the MO of Militant before they were cleared out, its reappeared under the banner of Momentum and Fields is being targeted along with any other MP not of the rabid left variety.

 

[The perfect fumble]

I think you'll find the Angela Eagle brick story was, how can I put it? A little exaggerated.

You're very niave mate, that's why you can't.

There's too much heat for a very small flame.

Possibly, but the connections outside of shared heritage seem tenuous.

she is in Wallasey too so probably just high jinks from a dipper getting some practise in on his way to find the City team bus.

Of course its only within Labour that there are offices attacked and intimidation of staff and MP's - thats the narrative being pushed

That is quite a brave statement, why did they keep voting him in then?

Its Liverpool.... they wont vote anything but Labour (other than Southport which voted Tory - but don't consider themselves Liverpudlians anyway)

Not sure what that means? Genuine question.

George Eaton, the political editor of the New Statesman, is the reason I gave up my NS subscription after 30 odd years, but this interview in the Jewish Telegraph really exposes his hand and the nub of this whole campaign....

Mr Eaton said: “Just imagine if a Conservative politician had said about another ethnic group what Jeremy Corbyn had said about ‘Zionists’.

But Zionists are not an ethnic group, so the comparison is deliberately disingenuous, Eaton is an arsehole but he's not a fool, he is deliberately lying.

Tell me then you can't see what I'm on about.

From the Jewish Chronicle - an organisation who's editor is on record as denouncing the "left" as the"real enemy"

And you would relish the chance to rip them over it.

It doesn't make it right does it?

So your not saying they are not happening or condemning it, but justifying them because it happens in other parties as well. The Soubry story is about the level of abuse from the public not an internal movement hijacking the party.
