The Labour Party. All discussion here please
Top Cats Hat replied to mort's topic in General Discussions
Except that I have never once argued for a second referendum. Being a Brexit-lite party was never going to win an election for Labour against Bozo’s ‘Get Brexit Done!’ campaign. The only chance Labour had of winning this election was by standing as the only credible Remain Party. To do this they would have had to have ditched Corbyn some time ago. Yes, it would have lost some Leave seats in the North but would have picked up many more in other areas. Pandering to the minority of traditional, mostly reactionary older Labour Leave supporters has absolutely failed as a strategy as most of those people have still voted for Johnson or Farage. -

He has the same economic policies as Corbyn but opposes Brexit and is much more impressive when interviewed. -

Corbyn’s ridiculous pro-Brexit stance is what has cost Labour this election. -

As will be the voters of Blyth Valley. When their lives get noticeably more crap, who will they blame then? -

John McDonnell should have replaced Corbyn at last September’s Labour conference. -

Hopefully Corbyn will resign before the night is out. -
Consequences Of Brexit [Part 8] Read First Post Before Posting
Top Cats Hat replied to mort's topic in General Discussions
So now that the polling stations are closed, are you going to tell us whether you voted for Farage or Johnson? -
Whichever constituency you reside in, think carefully about the best way to use your vote to keep Bozo and his clowns out of office. As it looks now, the best people can hope for is a hung parliament with another election in six months by which time Labour will have dumped Corbyn.

Jenkin Road Historic On Fire?
Top Cats Hat replied to Grubshifter's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
If this didn’t happen in the past 12 hours could someone please change the thread title. Not only do people on here live on Jenkin Road but even more people know somebody who lives on Jenkin Road. 😡 -
Why do you think that was?
-
What a ridiculous thing to say given that there are over 600 MPs and you probably only know a handful of them who you’ve seen on the telly. 🙄

Which is why an independent academic study* would be useful, although such studies in the past have shown a bias to the right across all media. (*Of course the right are also suspicious of academics and also view them as a bunch of lefties! 😳) -
Only because you’ve been told that it is. In the real world, a third Tory term along with the proposed Brexit will have the country on its knees within a couple of years.

Loud Buzzing Noise Roxton Road/Strelly Avenue
Top Cats Hat replied to tatybaby's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Are you near any industrial units? It could be an air conditioning or refrigeration fan cutting in and out on a thermostat. If it is from an industrial source and it is going through the night then inform the council as they can have the owner fix it or switch it off. -

Newspapers can support whoever the owners wishes them to. The broadcast media however are governed by strict rules which become even stricter during an election. I hear that at least two universities are collecting data on this election in particular. -

Yes, that’s true. Unfortunately in trying to please voters who are naturally politically right wing and socially conservative Labour is perpetually committed to being a poorer version of the Tories where nothing ever changes. -

The establishment still calls the shots and Blair watered down the Labour Party until it became acceptable. The current Labour Party is not acceptable to the establishment hence the unprecedented attacks on it particularly Corbyn. If Labour loses this election, suddenly all the character assassination and the antisemitism row will mysteriously vanish. Job done! -
A Forgotten Victim Of A 'terror Attack'
Top Cats Hat replied to Bounce's topic in General Discussions
You are entitled to your opinion but scale has nothing to do with whether something is a terrorist attack or not. -
There is a world of difference between a politician expressing a view and a politician sanctioning a variety of ‘black ops’ fake news operations to influence the vote.

I think you’ll find they didn’t!

A Forgotten Victim Of A 'terror Attack'
Top Cats Hat replied to Bounce's topic in General Discussions
We like to put our enemies into easily defined boxes. ‘Muslim as victim’ upsets the narrative. -
That was always going to happen. Channel Four fulfilled their regulatory requirement by inviting all major party leaders. They can’t force Bozo to attend therefore the responsibility for there being no Conservative representation during the debate rests squarely with the Conservative Party. Complaining to OFCOM just makes them look stupid and reinforces the idea that they have a sense of entitlement above other sections of society.

Maybe you could enlighten us about which other parties have tried to make capital out of it.

Young People And Practical Skills
Top Cats Hat replied to GOLDEN OLDIE's topic in Sheffield History & Expats
I don’t think that it is age related at all. Most people of any age are pretty clueless when it comes to practical skills.
