Considering how much info she just gave me over the phone she must have talked the lugs off him. Is that what she called it? Auld dears are brilliant.

Ally Bongo Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It's telling that at 9.30pm nobody has bothered to mention the Labour NEC managing to overturn the court ruling that allowed the 100,000 or so new members a vote in the leadership election. What an absolute spunkstain of a party it has become And then there's Kezia and the imbecile James Kelly up here playing the bald men fighting over the unionist comb with the tories Finito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Another suicide note from Scottish Labour. Clearly from the mind of James Kelly MSP Totally out of touch and determined to ensure Scotland remains under Tory rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brant grebner Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 A Corbyn victory was an assured splintering of the party. But an inevitable and necessary splintering. Welsh Labour would have cut themselves away from a Corbyn English Labour. Scottish Labour would have followed suit. I've no malevolent feeling towards Corybn. If he held the same opinion about Scotland as me then I'd treat him pretty much as a more right wing kindred spirit. Albeit a vegan one. The 130K were predominantly English voters looking for a left wing alternative and that alternative is now saying "cheers for the £400 grand but fück off you're not Labour enough". If this isnae proof that Labour's time is dead and gone then I dont know what is. The left need a viable and cohesive force to unite behind, but what's happened here is people power being shat on by 2 decades of Blairite doctrine. England needs to find a way past this in the same way that the Scottish left need to find a way past the SNP. The SNP are at least a means to an end. A non Corbynite accepting Labour are just an end.

It got better, in the summing up at the end, he said "Well we can stick with Jeremy Corbyn or". No idea what he said next as he brought the house down with that. I haven't really paid much attention to the labour leadership campaign or Owen Smith up to now. I think Corbyn is basically useless as a leader but Owen Smith comes across as a sleekit wee nasty piece of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely someone within their branch office could see that that would look like a horrendous appointment, their self destruction isnt even funny any more.

It's easy to see why he has been appointed though. Roden has a talent for concocting anti-SNP stories, and doing little more than attacking the SNP is what SLab have been reduced to. Also, Roden has been critical of SLab in the past, so getting him on board stops that (in much the same way the OF sign troublesome players from diddy teams and then leave them on the bench).

But I think it's down to the fact that he still seems to genuinely believe that North British Labour are the No. 1 political party in Scotland and that the SNP only got into power through a military coup or using black magic. That and he's extremely arrogant and obnoxious too. He also has a face you would never tire of slapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
