This is so effing boring.
There are endless links to Telegraph articles, and if anything they are at least as bad if not worse than the Spectator in having right wing, racist, male reactionary journalists.
It is the numbing silliness of thinking anyone on FWR has posted a link to try and persuade someone how to vote.
Try and engage with the issue.
This is a forum for discussion.
I am not in Brighton but I do live in an inner city area which has had Labour in power for decades. It has some of the worst housing in the UK. It has or had a Labour mayor who had to resign because of covering up sexual abuse by a co-councillor (who he shared a house with). At a recent by-election the democratically chosen Labour contender was suspended a few days before the vote, and was only re-instated after issuing a humiliating "apology".
The real danger from Labour is silly acccolytes behaving like unthinking handmaidens that allow this Party to be so useless.
At a time when more than ever, given the record of the Tories under their many PMs, you would think Labour would be able to come up with something remotely resembling socialism.
But they dont because they are cowardly and weak, and would prefer to get elected on a manifesto that is watered down conservatism.
So the real danger from Labour are those who subserviantly promote them, and fail in their duty as an active citizen, to constructively criticise them.
This is the sort of dumb posture politics, very similar to TRAs in fact, who try and deny reality and abuse people who point out reality, as being some sort of traitor.
Dont forget many of the financial problems that institutions like education and health, are because of the stunningly stupid PFI. ie more money is going on paying of the debt to private finance than going into service provision.
Labout didn't reverse one of the most destructive actions of Thatcher, the sale of council housing and the block on building anything new.
If you want people to vote Labour, ie encourage all of us who probably wont vote, you really need to come up with some well argued points from Labour about how they are going to improve peoples lives.
But keep on shouting from your soapbox if it makes you feel superior.
But accept that far than convincing people you just antagonise them.
And to get back to the issue, if would have been more productive to have provided evidence about how a Tory run council was just as bad, for instance.
And by tahe way, if you really think that the purpose of posting on FWR (Feminist and Women's Rights) is to persuade people to vote how you think they should vote, why dont you start your own thread.
All that is happened is all those who actually appear not to be convinced enough about the arugement to vote Labour, because they never start their own thread about this, is that year another thread is taken up with repititious to and fro that now most threads drown on.
I honestly thought this thread would get a few, "I really like JB's writing", "Well its Brighton what did she expect", or even why post, we all know that about Brighton.
The responses are so insulting towards the thinking levels of those who contribute to FWR.
I look forward to a well argued presentation about why we should all vote Labour as the OP for a new thread.
As if ...
