The Labour Party

This “scum” comment is exactly the sort of thing that switches off people from voting for Labour or voting for anyone full stop as people just switch off from politics. Makes Labour look like they’re not a serious party, they’re just a party for spoilt brat students to vote for, the sort of people who are constantly using juvenile language like “scum” and “gammon”. Petty name calling should be beneath a serious political party.

Grow the fuck up Labour! Maybe then more mature people might start voting for you, as well as the student population and the grown ups who haven’t grown up yet.

That makes no sense.
Boris uses rascist language and that doesnt switch off mature people voting.
why does offensive language not switch off mature voters from the tories

I am genuinely interested

With respect I think you're being a little oversensitive to a minor derogatory slang word. She could have used contemptible, deplorable...the meaning is the same but would no doubt not have seen the over the top reaction her comment is receiving.

If the word was used during debate in the House, then fair enough as there are standards around any derogatory language being used. Which Raynor has in past been guilty of.

This however was at an event for Labour activists at the Labour conference, a rallying cry to the troops if you like.

The public facing side of politics has forever and will forever be unserious; granted Trump, Boris, Bolsanaro and others have turned it up to eleven in recent years but this from Raynor is not in the same ball park.

Nothing Labour do will oust this lot, Brexit has destroyed the country. The current Boris Government are not fit for purpose and never have been, Labour were always and still are a better option, just that nobody wants to admit it.

Labour have always been the better option .... delivered more beneficial legislation , during their short period in power, than the Tories have delivered in a 100 years.

People just keep falling for the spin in the press.

Address this point to the person using gammon first then.

I'm not surprised gammon hits a nerve with some people.

I wasn't talking about how old the word was, I was talking about it's use prominent and critically well regarded author. Just another irrelevant strawman.

Serious people still going on about a four letter word used as an insult to a serial adulterer, compulsive liar and charlatan 48 hours after the event?

Maybe you didn't actually grow up after you left the playground.

Yeah I didn’t grow up after leaving the playground for criticising the use of a word in politics. Great one pal.

Another strawman. How long after the event and it's still in your mind. Will you be moaning we should have got a throw-in against Wycombe last week next?

A meeting of activists where Angela obviously had too much to drink and got a bit excited, her rant didn't even make any sense she called them scum and ended with piece of scum. You can listen online if you want, obviously someone had the intention of leaking comments to the press before they attended.

Go on lap it up.

Absolutely brilliant, you can not make it up.

Now we’re excusing a senior politician’s behaviour who is aiming to govern a country of 68m people with the fifth largest economy in the world because she had a little bit much to drink……

Yet at the same time criticising the clowns in current charge with their similar behaviour.

Tat for tat, eye for an eye, my dad is bigger than your dad, the state of this country.

Can the last person in this madhouse please turn the out the lights.

Here you go.



Have a listen. You seem obsessed with this so I'll leave you to watch on loop and slowed down to try and make out the inaudible words in it in your own time.

It’s in the context of an activists meeting FFS.

If the Tory Party don't like being called scum maybe they shouldn't wait until being embarrassed by Marcus Rashford before they decide to make sure they vulnerable children get enough food and nutrition.

And now the creme de la creme, it’s all about the context.

What next? The tories did a Bruce Almighty on her and made her say it?

Are you just on the wum?

I think it best we end it here because obviously you are more interested in this than me.

The Labour Party is a thoroughly bourgeois party, because, although made up of workers, it is led by reactionaries, and the worst kind of reactionaries at that, who act quite in the spirit of the bourgeoisie.
