Labour chiefs vow to overturn McDonald's party conference ban

"Clearly if you’ve got a principled position then the money has to come second, but what is the principled position against McDonald’s? I don’t get it.”

Labour chiefs vow to overturn McDonald's party conference ban

Another Labour MP said: "What are we saying to McDonald's employees and the millions of people who eat there? Are we saying they're wrong because Jeremy doesn't support their employment practices?"

There's so much in that little gobbet that speaks of all that was/is wrong with neoLab.

Jesus, that's pathetic.

They're making out that it was Corbyn's decision as these quotes claim.

Labour MP Wes Streeting said the ban revealed a "snobby attitude" among some in the party towards those who work and eat in McDonald's.

Another Labour MP said: "What are we saying to McDonald's employees and the millions of people who eat there? Are we saying they're wrong because Jeremy doesn't support their employment practices?"

Streeting is a fuckwit.

But it wasn't.

Fury erupted when it emerged the business board of the party's ruling National Executive Committee had turned down a £30,000 deal with the fast food giant.

This website revealed yesterday that the decision was taken in protest at the company's refusal to recognise trade unions and use zero hours contracts.

I thought I had a reasonable handle on the labour party but since when were any of the people mentioned in that article 'chiefs'?!!

 

[nino_savatte]

I've just tweeted Streeting, who will probably accuse me of "harrassing him". Thin-skinned little prick.

It's odd how holding public servants to account for their public utterances has morphed into being "harassment", isn't it?

They should thank their lucky stars they weren't MPs in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

GOD STOP CALLING THOSE WANKSTAINS 'MODERATE'



Not you, J Ed.

It's all part of the phenomenon that's covered in the "right wing PC" thread (can't remember the title).

Trouble is, it causes legitimate problems with harassment, sexism, whatever, to be seen as part of the same thing by some, so there's a push back against people who call out sexism, or who call out trolling. It's all a massive fucked up mess.

 

[cantsin]

no doubt irrelevant bullshit in the greater scheme of things, and I know they'd have had to deal with another nonsense meejah onslaught if he hadn't played ball, but found Corbyn's queens b day speech in the HoC today a bit of a bolt of reality, him sloshing weakly around in the same stagnant pool as the rest .

 

[treelover]

“It is simply no longer possible to be disabled and a Tory, says angry activist,” was the Guardian’s headline about Graeme Ellis, who ran the Conservative Disability Group website until March’s budget, when he closed it down and denounced Osborne’s cuts to disability benefits. He has now applied to join the Labour Party.

How ‘liberal’ should Labour be?

Yet another long term Tory joins Labour, baffling in some ways, but Corbyn and Co are very approachable. etc.

we've had a year now of the labour big wigs (former) all proclaiming that the only way to appeal to tory voters is by being nearly as cuntish as the tories, so this can't possibly be genuine.... alternatively they're as wrong about that as they are about most other things.

Yet, Labour right-wingers get up in arms about socialists wanting to join the party. FFS.

Or that there's little difference between the parties but a minor one that a long-term tory activist with their own tory needs finds important. Did you join yet?

He should be drummed out just for being a total fucking liability.

Far too many instances.

The creepy Iain Martin just tweeted this.


The thing is, Livingstone is correct about Hitler: he did want the Jews to move to another country (Palestine). In that desire, he was little different to the Zionists - especially Jabotinsky's Revisionist Zionists.

hitler didn't win an election in 1932, he came second to von hindenburg in the german presidential election. and of course he wasn't going to say then 'let's kill all the jews' - he'd have come a poor third behind thalmann

No, but Hitler wanted German Jews out of the country. The Centre Party handed Hitler the Chancellorship.

not in 1932 they didn't.

anyway as people here have so frequently said, it's not where you come from that counts, it's where you're going. and even if it wasn't his intent in 1932 - or even, for the sake of argument, in 1937 - the development of nazi policy to the jews tended a) towards their exclusion from public life, then b) their death. i don't believe using hitler's views on anything is a good idea - doesn't matter if it was real resettlement in the east, his vegetarianism, his artistic taste, his sartorial elegance or otherwise, whatever.

I know, but what an utter bell-end to wade in with that today.

1933

Hitler didn't want to move the Jews to Israel in 1932 as suggested in the nutty tweet. It was not created until 1948 by which time Hitler was dead or living in Argentina depending on your sources.
