But it really has gone quiet over the last few weeks, so was your infantile comment really necessary?

Well, it is not for me to say but . .

Now, fancy someone coming on here claiming such a thing -why would that be, I wonder. And yes, I did get the point - you were trying to evaluate matters and the people to whom you refer were basically on the same side, just not quite sharing your fanaticism. If you really want to evaluate your...

Brilliant. You tell trigaar that he should broaden his discussions and then write this: I have just spent almost a year participating in an international debate within the socialist movement - and broke with people that I had spent nearly 40 years working with (including a large number of...

Any why should they not? I do not vote labour, but can see the sense of posters of any persuasion pointing out that an effective opposition is likely to keep the government of the day on its toes. Should I start a thread, praising, say Boris Johnson, I would have no doubt that it would attract...

Given that the Tory vote on the poll prior to the election was actually singularly the highest, and your extremely generalised comment about readers of the DM, then I would respectfully suggest that it is your good self who is the prat . .

those poor old Blairites again -they are real rotters. By the way, if you are a Blairite, then I strongly advise you to keep your heads down or else you are going to be . .erm . "cleared out." Didn't we hear such language 30 years ago behind the iron Curtain. you have been warned!

So what is his lifetime then?

Please stop posting such common sense on here .

Absolutely -nice post and all the very best to you this Christmas.

Don't give me that - although that was precisely what I was expecting.

Yes, but your previous choice of words doesn't reflect this, does it. You said that the Tories are planning to change the boundaries, clearly implying some shady dealing, when the reality is that the Independent Boundaries Commission had urged change in 2016.

Isn't there such a thing as the Boundaries Commission, or some such title, that actually recommends changes, as it has in the past?

Isn't there some saying that up to the age of 25, you vote with your heart and then as you get older, with your head. Young people want a better world (don't we all?) and are easily swept along with Corbyn, who promises them everything, but as you say, they do not have the experience of life...

Ok. Fair enough if you say so. then what I said still stands only that older militants will carve it all up . .

I think you knew exactly what he was getting at. The membership has grown over the years, as loads of young militants saw their chance. Fair enough -they are entitled as much as anyone else and only took advantage of the then current rules, which I think are still in force. These same people...

Yes, that was monumentally stupid. I think most folk doubted that 80 billion was really properly costed, and then he adds another load. I can imagine that must have been so frustrating for you.

[/B] History shows us that the more distant the politicians become, the more people turn to the right. I am not saying that is right or wrong, just that that is what tends to happen. The EU is a classic example of this with its waste and bureaucracy, and folk are understandably suspicious that...

Reasonable post -and I did actually vote remain. At some stage, you have to say; Ok, its not what I wanted, but lets make a good show of it.
