Pay to listen to Corbyn speak

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Lies eh?

Just From you. The story is indeed true.

Please retract

Please retract

No because it’s true and you just proved it with that tweet.

£40 if you’re white. £30 black or ethnicity minority.

Really? Have a link?

Equality watchdogs are looking at whether Labour broke the law by offering discounted rally tickets to black and minority ethnic members.

Thought not.

Ain’t that the truth.

Subsidised tickets for members of certain groups ...... bit like we get at the City Store... but overall admission is the same price

Can non-BAME members join this subsidised group to receive the BAME members discount?

Can non-BAME members join this subsidised group to receive the BAME members discount?

Yes, anyone can join, pay the £15 pound membership fee and get a £10 discount to the event.

Pay to listen to Corbyn? As Brick Top would say; "Are you taking the piss?"

No it’s being much discussed. Fascinating that one tweet has made such a powerful impact on some of you. Not sure how would you all cope if it was on a daily basis but fascinating nonetheless.

What am I supposed to do with a racist tweet? Give her strike one of three?

No I can’t.

Because my skin colour doesn’t match the criteria for a cheaper ticket.

This is literally the situation with the opposition in 21st century British politics, it’s fucking madness.

We must never ever vote this lot in.

I'm wondering if there also a 'group' membership that does a discount for people who are differently abled as well.

Or perhaps a LGBTQ+ Labour group, which members receive their own, separate discount in the same vein as the BAME one. Because I didn't see one listed on the list of options at this particular meeting.

If not, why is Labour focusing on just one specific group of people that are marginalised and need more representation?
