A nothing story that's in plenty of newspapers.

Segregation at public meetings might be unimportant to you. Or you might even approve of it for all I know.

If that's the case you'll have no problem with voting Labour.
Can I ask when you are going to answer any of the questions I have asked of you, or failing that, state why you feel unable to debate with a member that has a different opinion

How can anyone seriously argue in favour of segregation at a meeting organised by one of the UK's two main political parties?
Presumably that's the way the majority of the audience wanted it because it was in accordance with their religious or cultural beliefs and didn't violate any laws of the land. No one was excluded from the meeting so what does it matter to you what the seating arrangement was? If it had been a dinner for mainly Muslim (or Jewish) constituents, there would have been no pork served. If you were invited to a mainstream Jewish wedding, you would have to sit separately from your wife in the synagogue. I've never known anyone not used to it throw a hissy fit and walk out because of that. If you were invited into a mosque, you would have to remove your shoes. Those are the rules and customs that certain groups adhere to and a polite guest will respect those, even if they don't necessarily understand and agree with them.

Similarly, if a Jewish or Muslim guest attended a Christian wedding, they would be sat together because that would be the cuatom that the majority of the guests were used to.

You actually made a sensible contribution to this thread a day ago but I now see you're back to your normal, trolling self. Well i'd strongly advise you to pack it in because our patience is starting to wear thin.

Really?

I must have missed the announcement and subsequent parade.

What about the bank holiday?

Again I will ask, how have you managed to achieve your undoubted personal wealth and success with zero interference fro those pesky public sector employees?

Stop trying to change the subject from Labour condoning segregation at one of their election meetings.
far from changing the topic, I am returning to points you have consistantly raised, do you wish to answer the question asked (as I am not a member of, nor a supporter of the Labour party, i cannot tell them how to conduct their campaign, thought unlike some, I appreciate the benefits that migrant workers have brought to the UK )

Of course you can't tell Labour how to run its campaign.

However you are free to comment on how it does and you are also free not to comment.

I note you have chosen the latter option about Labour's segregated election meeting.

Just like Labour's leaders.

The decision to hold such a meeting is indefensible so silence is a good option for those who choose, for whatever reasons, not to condemn such an example of outdated and disgraceful behaviour.

That was when Rascal hacked bis account . no holidays will be awarded as it would encourage the poor to drink.

By sensible contribution, PB, in his new lefty guise, means that he said something he agreed with.

You state it is indefensible however in a multi cultural nation most can see that to encourage all to participate in the electoral process at times it is required to "negotiate" your beliefs.
now I will ask once again, how did you manage to find yourself in such a position that you have never had to benefit from those such as myself that are employed by the nation?

It is, but it is not necessary to have all legislation in the Queen's speech. The whips can work together to get a back bench sponsored bill through.

Never in a million years. It would make Labour's front bench a laughing stock.

Why?


Ed would have to admit "We think replacing Trident is essential for the defense of the realm. And the primary responsibility of any government is the security of its citizens . But politically its better for us if the government doesnt take the lead on this"

Just can't see how Milliband can form any pact with the SNP , he would have no credibility after his quotes from the last few weeks .
