Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

Threats of legal action? My god the fear, the terrible fear.

 

[Cid]

I refuse to pay my council tax, the court summons was a bullying tactic and should be condemned...

 

[belboid]

tbf, a lot of the people on the NEC are lay union bureaucrats, or sometimes minor officials, they wont be used to this kind of public exposure, and the vitriol will be surprising.

The MP's can fuck off, obviously.

 

[1%er]

be sure to mention the times they endorsed fascists

Yes the more I read the more I find, I think I'll widen the issue.

Just to make it clear I am not a professional teacher, but get invited now and again to speak at my local university by a friend who teaches politics there, it is more about the fact that I have lived in the UK and USA rather than my political views.

Maybe I'm just being an insensitive dick but I don't know, I could understand and sympathise and believe it was genuine more if it was spontaneous rather than being paraded around in order to cause maximum political damage.

This is amazingly pathetic

Tearful Labour official slams Corbyn, 13/07/2016, World at One - BBC Radio 4

Is Johanna Baxter actually this upset? If so I feel sorry for her, she is obviously out of her depth and shouldn't be put in situations where... well I don't know, she has to talk to people? If not, what a manipulative nasty piece of work.

don't know where the 'h' in her name came from

don't

They should try working in a call centre...

Having read up a bit on Baxter and realising that she originally did indeed work in a call centre as a CWU rep I feel like a bit more of a dick for making this comment but tbh I still find this whole crying during broadcast thing more than a bit suspicious.

It seems like a tactic now.

Anyone coming from a union would understand the notion of being accountable to those they are meant to represent, and for that to be possible their voting record has to be available. They can vote how they chose - they are representatives not delegates - but they have to be able to be held to account.

Yeah, there's a thin line, but contacting someone at the official number of the body through which they are ex-officion on the NEC is fine. Genuine threats - if such there are - is out of order, calling them a cunt is marginal, but anything else ... well, who the fuck do they think they are and responsible to? I don't personally expect the labour party or even a corbynised labour party to actually achieve much, but for those who think the party might make a difference to people's lives this is important stuff. And however it's spun, those trying to remove Corbyn are the ones who have caused this shitstorm. What the fuck did they expect?

i thought it might be to do with the fact you know the man at the university

Maybe but they still know about them.
I'm just trying to put her outrage in context.

LOL I've had nothing to do with freemasonry for over 37 years, you are the one who thinks they have some sort of power, that's the lunacy

Bristol CWU pulled out of funding Lab MPs - the irony

Lost the bastard link now

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Should this also go in passive aggressive office emails thread?

I know it's not an email, but it is a note.



The fucking cheek. Pickets at place of work not allowed? Sums up new Labour really.

How do I copy a tweet to here when I'm not on Twitter? Just wondering as I did a search to find out if Johanna Baxter had reported her phone number being put online to police (which is the only element of bullying) and found this from her twitter feed:
Johanna Baxter (@JohannaBaxter) on Twitter
"Jul 11
Johanna Baxter ‏@JohannaBaxter
@Redlabour2016 no, partial bits of one piece of advice is on line. I want to see all legal advice received on this matter. Not unreasonable."

So she asked for the legal advice. It included a statement that the lawyers were notified they would intend to hold people on NEC liable if they broke the rules and how the lawyers advised they would proceed. That's not bullying, that's the information she asked for. She has a very fluffy idea of what "accountable" means if she thinks it excludes legal action.

The kindest interpretation is that he's stupid.

Is this the first 3 traitor MPs with a formal vote of no confidence? Nice touch to explain withdrawing funding, no visiting the office etc.
