The Labour Party

Not just a private education. All sorts of factors mean that deprivation reduces life chances, and education is part of that. I don't know if I can easily put my computer on the graph that shows that a less intelligent child from a relatively wealthy background is likely to overtake in achievement a pupil of greater ability (based on assessment on entry to primary school), but it was part of the rationale for Labour's Sure Start. This goes back at least to the Coleman report in the States in 1966, on how equal rights in education (didn't) play out.

It's compounded of course when someone advocates that the best pupils should get the best resources and the best teachers and have more money spent on them.

I’m also pretty sure a poor kids experience of the Police is different to a posh kids. I’m also sure if the same kids were caught with a certain amount of drugs that it would have a longer negative impact on the poor kid and less so on the posh kid

Don’t get caught with drugs then.

Not quite that simple, as I’m sure you know. But that’s beside the point - I suggested the poor kid would have longer negative effects than the posh kid. For a variety of reasons I.e relationship with the policy, social capital, the potential employment networks of the posh kids family

I don’t think this is in any way particularly controversial

No it’s not, I agree with you, I was making a half arsed joke.
 
I've been banned from voting as an old FB post wishing a friend standing for the green party in a safe Tory seat from 2015 was dragged up.

Fuck them off mate.

The party is dead.

That’s absolutely outrageous by the way.

Seriously? Democracy alive and kicking.
 
So it looks like another Labour voter has failed the purity test.
'If you don't like the direction we're going, then fuck off,' very forthright for sure, the problem was, they did
exactly that.

And now we "deserve" everything nasty that the Government might do to us.

What a loving, open and caring party Labour's 'support' has become.
 
I’m raging.

Where do I go?

I don’t fancy the Galloway vanity project.

That’s a decision only you can make, mate.

Other leftist parties include the Greens or SDP.

Although the SDP are socially conservative, a kind of Blue Labour and support Brexit.

You’ve obviously got the LibDems but I doubt you’d go for them.

Will never forgive the Lib Dem’s for their collaboration with the tories.

Always had a soft spot for the greens. I’ve met Caroline Lucas a couple of times at demos and she’s been very courteous. They could do with a Green Farage that gets them more media presence as both Bartley and Berry are very good debaters but not media savvy.

I totally disagree with you but that’s fine.

I see the Greens as a bunch of hippies who’d be utterly useless if they had any power whatsoever.

Are you going to leave the Labour Party?

As a person, I am sure Lucas is very nice. But she had the policies of a turnip and a turnip would be better use in government.
 

'The shadow home secretary said that regardless of who wins she will return to life on the backbenches and work on ensuring the party doesn't take a "swerve to the right on migration policy"'.

Translation: The new leader will sack me from the front bench but I will continue to try to make Labour as unelectable as it was when I was in the shadow cabinet.
 
So jumped before she's pushed. She's only ever been a total liability to the Labour front bench and frankly an embarrassment to the Labour benches front and back.
I just dread the idea of the repulsive mess being sent to the Lords as she's troughed plenty of taxpayers money over the years in the Commons.

Co-incidentally, Farage was discussing Lords reform this morning on his LBC show. Hit what many people seem to think square in the nuts when he pointed out that it's packed full of people rejected by the electorate who can continue in government with no accountability to the public whatsoever. Also the hypocrisy of the likes of Prescott, stating they'd never enter the "elitist" Lords and then jumping on the chance of a bit of ermine when dangled in front of them.
