Daine Abbot supports John McDonell's nomination for leader

ViolentPanda said:
In both Abbott and Marshall-Andrews' case it's borne out by their own constituents (not just local party members) praise of them.
If you can't come up with something a little more solid then don't bother, balders. Really, don't.

He must be better than the opposition, and that's all that matters to his constituents, idiot.

Your reasoning is typical of somebody with your conformist politics....Shit..

You really think that people in Abbotts and BMAs constituencies think there really good MPs? I wonder how many you have talked too? People vote Labour despite them not cos of them they are both egotistical and shallow, which is something you have in common with them.

do you actually know what you write sometimes?

Sometimes it gets a bit boring for me with the really closed minds like VP and nino etc...Calling people coconuts has got other people to contribute. And i have to say the more the merrier.
Bit suprised that some of these people seem very nieve about Diane Abbott.
But its good to have the debate in a way.
 
I haven't seen you debating, tbaldwin - I have mostly just seen you making offensive remarks.

But perhaps that is my naivety in not being able to read beyond your narrowmindness and stated arrogance :D

What exactly did you want me to debate?
The thread is on a particularly shit mps support of John Mcdonells candidacy.
If i was him i would do all i could to distance myself from people like Abbott.
She is an absulute shit MP who retains her seat only cos she stands for Labour. If she stood as an Independent at the next election i doubt if she would get more than 200 votes.

That's right balders, on with the insults, and don't bother trying to reply to the issue.

Always the same, tirades, great torrents of bullshit, and still you say fuck-all of substance. you schlemiel.

I don't want you to debate anything. I was merely responding to your suggestion that you are doing so :)

Im not so sure about that......

There are a couple of other Yiddish words that I like too.

Schmuck
Schnook (one of my Dad's favourites)
Schmo (this describes a certain person to a tee!)

This is really sad news, what is it with the left, of all stripes, can it ever get itself together

Your whining question about "the left" presupposes that Meacher is, or ever has been, "left".

left of Margaret Thatcher, maybe, but except for his very early days he's been a centrist right down the line.

Meacher was the "hard Left" candidate for the Labour Party deputy leadership (on a Heffer-Meacher ticket) in 1983, whilst Benn was out of parliament. Is that what you meant by his "very early days"?

"Hard left"? So hard left he was a minister under Wilson and Callaghan and voted mostly with the govt even when it wasn't in "the peoples'" interest, eh? :)

I mean his student days, back before he pretended to be the offspring of a horny handed son of the soil in order to strengthen his "left" credibility.

The man's a chameleon. He's whatever'll get him power, left, right or centrist.

This is good from someone who was allegedly happy to serve in the British Army and then in the Home Office.

Your point is?

Are you ever going to post something that isn't a snide dig?

I have my doubts. Over a hundred posts, and still not even a smidgeon of substance to any of them, eh becky?

Only 135 posts and she knows how to nasty.

That ain't "nasty", that's n.f.b.


(normal for becky). She's very good at passing judgement on others, but not too hot at actually debating or contributing anything worthwhile, even when she's been asked to.

Lots.

My point is that people in glass houses should not be throwing stones.:p

As for snide remarks and lack of substance?

Your measure of people seems to be on how much they agree with you and a few other equally pretentious and obnoxious posters.:)

Yet you've been throwing stones since your first post, haven't you?

My measure of people is how well they're able to support their contentions, argue their case. It's something most of the posters on Urban are able to do.

I don't care if someone disagrees with me, I'm not G-d, I don't pretend to be all-knowing or wrothful if contradicted. I do prefer people to be able to make a case beyond "you're this or that" when they disagree though. It makes things more interesting, and shows that they know something about what they're talking about, whereas you and your interminable "you seem" and "you appear" followed by your character projections of posters...

Well, lets just say you don't make the cut.

You could do with learning these lessons yourself. :p

If you can't get the better of someone in a discussion, this is what you do. The sad thing about it all, is that you betray your own deepseated ignorance of the issues. You run with your crew, you have no thoughts of your own. Taking your cues from baldwin and durutti will only lead you deeper into the black hole of ignorance.

Nah, In my opinion you're both a schmo and a schnook and you talk out of your tuchus. :D
