A few pages ago on this thread, Wookey posted this :
Would you like to explain exactly what's "conscientious" and "courageous" about this 7 not fighting by-elections ASAP??
In which they stand as Independents, now that they've left the Labour Party under whose colours thay were originally elected???
My use of those words was in relation to them resigning the whip and leaving Labour on a clear point of principle, namely that they reject institutionalised racism and anti-Semitism. It was nothing to do with subsequent by-elections, which remain a matter for the individual MP as a point of law, whether you see that as OK or not. (Let's respect the system of democracy we're clinging on to eh?)
I find it more interesting that 7 MPs have resigned from a party they informedly describe as racist and anti-Semitic, and you are concerned about their deselection. Strange priority if you ask me.

He's one of them too! Cor, it spreads fast this finger-pointing don't it. Addictive too. And entirely apolitical.

Maybe its the Guardian telling him that he is a former Shadow Chancellor on such a regular basis.

It really is amazing. I mean he may be a wanker but Umunna at least has some sort of profile. Leslie has already lost his seat once, yet he still can't seem to understand that he only has a seat at this moment because of the LP

He was? Blimey.

Umanna's resignation is the second best thing to happen to Streatham in many a year - the opening of Aldi last year takes top spot. Never mind holding your nose when voting for him down here, I had to wear a full astronaut suit last time. I'm not a big drinker (outside the cricket season) but am already on my fourth celebratory pint.

That odious boot-licking prick Alex Wickham has managed to get himself on quite well though.

I personally find it interesting that only hours after resigning one of this crew described BAME people/their skin colour as 'funny tinged'...I'd say that's one less racist in the Labour party now and the other 6 should be having a think about the irony of them leaving the party for those reasons and aligning themselves with such a fucking idiot.
They won't though because I don't believe racism is the reason they've quit the party at all.

Egged on by the media bubble maybe? Probably not smart enough to notice that they don’t have his interests at heart, just ‘generating conversation’ because that’s what it’s all about now.
Are there any of this lot with the personal standing to win their seat against an official LP candidate? At best they’ll split the vote and let some other cunt in.

It was a garbled sentence, fuck knows where her head was going. But she isn't a racist.
Piccaninnies and watermelon smiles. That's where you want to aim your ire, imo.

Who in the Labour Party has used that language?

My ire is already aimed there thanks very much and no, your apologism doesn't cut it with me. Her mask slipped.
Perhaps being one of those 'funny tinged/coloured' people she was referring to helps me to have an insight.

It was a semi-articulated and hastily cut mindset not a garbled sentence.

Minutes after telling everyone else how to do anti-racism properly, wookey - the tedious gibbon - posts the above. He may as well have appended luv on the end of it.

You think I'm apologising for racism?

It's apparent where her head was going: "funny tinged".

That's exactly what you did above with your attempt to excuse her. You know Black and Brown people aren't actually a funny colour/tinge don't you?
I mean what kind of person even thinks in that way? Let alone fucking says it hours after accusing the labour party as being rife with racism.
It would be humourous is it wasn't so indicative of what these tory-lite twats actually think.

Oh, she said funny tinged and coloured did she?
You want to clean yours ears out, she said no such thing.
And all the while you are avoiding the question of 7 MPs splitting from a racist and anti-Semitic party. Way to absorb the attention.
