To be devastated at the demise of the Labour Party, and to wonder how anyone can look at themselves in the mirror if they vote for Corbyn now?

Just that really.

Been a Labour supporter all my life, til the last election. Because hell will freeze over before I will vote for Jeremy Corbyn.

I am literally devastated at the demise of the Labour party, that has been systematically destroyed from the inside out, by Corbyn and his cronies, and by Corbyn's pathetic behaviour. From his denial of bad behaviour from his party, to the way he shuts down anyone who challenges him. (Including reporters, and his own people ..... if they don't agree with everything he says, he sacks them.)

In the last election, for the first time ever in my life, I was unable to vote, because I am not voting for Conservatives. (Even so, if I HAD to vote by law, I would vote for Conservatives before I would vote for Labour.)

The Labour party is dying a slow and painful death, and is a laughing stock. First of all we have the standing joke that is Corbyn, with his bizarre 'extreme-left' bollocks, and refusing to answer any questions that don't suit him, .......'Mr Corbyn what about the antisemitism in in your party?' 'YES it is a nice day isn't it? Thank you, goodbye!' Fucking twit! Hmm

And then we have his ludicrous and laughable cronies... Diane 'can't count for toffee' Abbott, Monroe 'bigoted ranty' Bergdorf, and now Eddie fucking Izzard in a dress. Hmm

Even people I know who were obsessive Corbynites a year or so ago, are cringing with embarrassment now, as he turns the party into more of a laughing stock every day. And as I said in the thread title, how can anyone POSSIBLY support him and the Labour party now?

That's it really. I am literally so gutted at the demise of my party.

Until Corbyn fucks off and takes his cronies with him, Labour is dead to me. And I know a LOT of people who think the same!

R.I.P. The Labour Party. 😢😢😢

BertrandRussell You sure are defending Mr Corbyn for someone who isn't even a supporter of his

Defending him?? or maybe questioning some of the biased or ill informed comments about him on here?

JessTessMess · 03/04/2018 15:59

Yes it’s a short step from being a ‘proper’ labour supporter to talking about ideological purity. In definitely an impure former labour supporter!

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 15:59

Sensible ones who want a credible leader and front bench who have sensibly costed relevant policies and abhore and deal with racist sexist snd mysogynistic groups within their ranks

GhostofFrankGrimes · 03/04/2018 16:00

If Murdoch only backs credible politics why did he back Cameron and then Brexit (at least in the Sun)?

GhostofFrankGrimes · 03/04/2018 16:03

I support the Labour Party of Bevan, Tony Benn and the NHS. I suggest JC does to.
That is proper Labour.

I suspect this thread is designed to split Labour voters.

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 16:04

Because Cameron had the majority supporting the election and won and the only people who were shocked by the by the Brexit results were the London centric press and politicians.

It was quite clear here in the Midlands, north snd wales it was on the cards

Jessica who are they?

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 16:06

Labour voters are split!

Look st the MPs? Have you been in a cave for the last few years?

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 16:08

Tony Benn was pro Brexit. He would be spinning in his grave at the dreadful way Corbyn and his supporters treated Hillary. Don’t be ridiculous

My labour is John smith and Neil Kinnock we lost a great man with johns death.

Corbyn isn’t fit to wipe their boots

GhostofFrankGrimes · 03/04/2018 16:09

Who caused the split? The MPs and people who couldn’t accept JC. Move on.

Political parties are not like football teams. A voter isn’t expected to stick with a party through thick and thin. Review your options.

JessicaJonesJacket · 03/04/2018 16:09

The only posters using the term 'proper' Labour supporters are the posters claiming to be them .

GhostofFrankGrimes · 03/04/2018 16:09

How many elections did Kinnock lose?

JessicaJonesJacket · 03/04/2018 16:11

Tony Benn's politics were a million miles away from Hillary's.
The misinformation is getting tedious now.

Justanotherlurker · 03/04/2018 16:12

I suspect this thread is designed to split Labour voters.

Labour voters have been split since JC won to be honest, many many calls of Red Tory and Blue Labour for any comment that wasn't singing the praise of JC and Momentum.

Brexit really was not a left/right issue, even a quick look at Corbyn's actual voting record on anything to do with the EU shows that.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 03/04/2018 16:13

Nope. Benn was also someone who worked to broker peace by speaking to Sinn Fein. I guess that’s ok though. Disinformation indeed.

gussyfinknottle · 03/04/2018 16:14

One of Kinnock's problems was the left wing extremists he couldn't get rid of and pandered to.
That and the triumphalism.
That and prejudice against Welsh people.
I'm old enough to have voted in elections he and predecessors contested.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 03/04/2018 16:17

Kinnock was left wing. As was John Smith. The Overton window has been well and truly smashed in the last few years. What was once right wing is now moderate or centrist.

FrogsAreMean · 03/04/2018 16:17

I can look at myself in the mirror just fine thanks love!

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 16:21

He tried though and did stand up to militant tendency but as you can see on this thread they are like bind weed.

Yes agree it was pregudice against his accent and the Manchester ralley but he tried.

I am old enough to have voted for him too Smile

chattykathyblue100 · 03/04/2018 16:22

OP, you really would prefer the Tories and everything they are doing to people to stay in power? Strikes me you were never a true Labour supporter otherwise you would put your dislike of Corbyn aside and vote for your local Labour candidate.

gussyfinknottle · 03/04/2018 16:23

All bow to Corbyn. If you hate Tories you must love The Great Leader. ... nope, that zombie shit isn't working.

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 16:24

Yes they were left wing but they had sensible policies and John Smith didn’t reach his potential.

jessica who are they?

gussyfinknottle · 03/04/2018 16:27

Smith would have won had he lived. Decent bloke. Decent politics.
Corbyn isn't fit to run a raffle.

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 16:27

chatty

No can’t put aside racism anti Semitism and truly dreadful mysogyny of the trans lobby. Just can’t do it. Won’t vote Tory either.

Mydoghatesthebath · 03/04/2018 16:28

Totally agree Smith was a truly great msn.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 03/04/2018 16:29

They had sensible policies yes, but they weren’t elected. There is no more demise now than there was in 1992 or 2015.
