I didn't vote for the guy but I'm not happy that he's getting a lot of grief at the moment, he is a very good constituency MP and I respect his views.

I'm afraid that the extreme left in this country are worse than the NF in the 80's and that's saying something.

Really? How is this manifested? Through violence, for instance? Perhaps you could provide us with examples.
And who constitutes this extreme left? I could offer you up the extreme centre who have been extremely proficient at meting out violence.

you're quite correct, there's nothing to say this is coming from the extreme left, just the left. well done them for engaging in abuse and threats to their elected representatives.
if they don't like he MP's view, if they want to deselect, they should stop the abuse and just get on with the process internally.
Those who voted to bomb in the Labour Party are under sustained attacks from the left on social media. The Express and Mail are all over it, obviously, so here is the story on the BBC from the point of view of Corbyn dealing with it.

Kyle IS an outstanding constituency MP. I voted for him despite being a disaffected Labout voter who thought Milliand was hopeless. He has helped families at my kids' school with parking and traffic issues, taken part in community projects in Mile Oak and other places and held community events before AND after, He made a dignified appearance at the Easthill Park Remembrance service. He was the only candidate to call on us personally during the election campaign and his team have been back. He is available when you want him.
To abuse him or anyone else in Labour for voting with their conscience in a free vote is beyond the pale.
Even more sadly he won't be getting my vote next time around unless Corbyn has gone. I will be moving back to a party based vote - probably between the Greens and Lib Dems - because Corbyn and his little red book waving trolls couldn't run a bath.

Bit sneaky, you've quoted me completely out of context putting my quote under something I never commented on. Very Sun/Daily Mail.
Not sneaky - just skim read the quote you put and thought it was the OP. I will edit my post in a sec to take your quote out.
Don't think the far left are cuddly though. They're as ugly as the fascists.

Just makes no sense at all
In my younger days I had some fairly unpleasant interractions with the so-called "hard left". Nothing much seems to have changed. They were ideological ********s, completely inflexible in their thinking, dismissive of those who didnt hold their views and bullying and hectoring behaviour was the norm towards anyone who let them get away with it. All in all a very nasty group of people.
