different times and different fish kettles...this is a grouping of people who think "theres no such thing as left and right anymore"

Well in terms of relationship to capital, they're sort of right about that. Of course what they're doing now can only exacerbate that problem but still.

The filthy Tory befouler?

Christopher Brocklebank-Fowler
Not rooted like an oak,
Chanced on moving, sideways, downward, away.
His conscience cleared by political windolene,
Yet smeared by newspaper.

was an inveterate prowler
when challenged one night
he ran, taking fright,
and when last seen was an indigent toweller

This thread illustrates perfectly how Urban isn't representative of labour supporters.

My and many of my friends are of the left but don't like Corbyn or brexit. A lot here would say we're not really of the left. But I stand with Wookey in being disappointed by Corbyn

I'm now clearing my inbox ready for the abusive PMs

just as a matter of interest, did you end up finding there was nothing 'abusive ' in yr PMs, just as there seemed to be none on here ?

As with soc media, the 'KERAZZY ABUSIVE CORBYNITES INCOMING' stuff, it never seems to actually materialise does it ?

That kind of sign off does it's job though, keeps the whole thing bubbling along nicely, everyone can constantly refer to the 'abuse', often not actually realising it's only the references to the abuse that are keeping the idea of it alive and front and centre.... taken to it's logical extremes, useless MPs can actually toddle off to form new parties etc, partly propelled by the very same imaginary 'abuse'.

All good stuff.

This from 2013 - it seems a stretch to link it with the labour party though tbf.

Guardian headline predicting Allen, Soubry and Wollaston will join, though the actual story is less solid:
Three Tory MPs tipped to quit party and join Independent Group

Three Tory MPs left the Conservative Party today to join a newly-formed group of Independent MPs in protest over Brexit.

Anna Soubry, Heidi Allen and Sarah Wollaston all split from the party, leaving Theresa May with an even narrower majority.
