Sorry if I seemed to deflect. I was trying to make the point that there are all sorts of things that depend on your viewpoint. I’ve met Corbyn, I believe him to be a man of integrity. So when he says what his motivation was I believe him. Even if I might disagree with his action, I believe his...

And arms supplied by this country to the terrorist supporting Saudis continue to slaughter thousands of innocents in the Yemen. Plenty of outrage to go round.

What is it now, if not a disaster?

Have you actually looked at what this "Maoist" pledge says? Grassroots activist Labour members are more committed to their communities than any other group I know.

Are you still expecting politeness and respect from those who know your former identity?

Thanks for that. It is true it was simplistic but in my experience most people are not so engaged that more complex analysis can be wasted. It’s possible that neo liberalism has reached the end of the road anyway. It doesn’t seem to have anywhere obvious to go now. And you may be right about...

Patronising? Moi?

a) why isn’t it okay, it’s democratic b) in case you hadn’t noticed the Tories are firmly led by their extreme right - Gove, Fox, Davis and their unholy alliance with right wing nutters, the DUP

I’m unable to engage with this level of debate.

I’m going to take that as none then.

I reiterate, I was at our local group last night and don't recognise this description at all but then someone's told you different I expect.

No, I’m not (as I’m sure you well know). Merely a majority are in group 1. “Purge” is a good, emotive word used by those who don’t like the results of democracy. For a real purge try Kensington and Chelsea Tories.

By moving away fro the market as living God ideas of the last 30 years. If you are serious in wanting to know more about this stuff the Jeremy Gilbert is a good place to start. David Harvey argues that China is as Neo liberal as they come.

Nope. The EU is a Neo liberal construct that values German bankers over Greek workers and for that reason I have no love for it. However your post suggested that just leaving was sufficient. No vision, no plan, no nothing. Just leaving as an end to its self. That in my Brexit experience is a...

I think you'll find that it is the above named who are out of sync with the rest of us. At a national level the Labour Party splits into two camps 1) those that believe that a Neo-liberal economic system is bad/has run its course and those 2) who don't. Group 1 includes the leadership, the...

Oh I see. You’d rather take the word of some disillusioned centrists and Blairites who are desperately trying to hang on to their power/prestige/money/jobs than actually find out for yourself. And they are lying. Barefacedly. Our meeting last night was about the need to remain open, honest and...

I attended the committee meeting of our local group last night. Every single person on it had lived through the seventies and none of them had any desire to revisit them.

Really? How many meetings have you been to? I was at ours last night and don’t recognise that description but I expect you have a lot more experience than me.

This is meaningless.

Sits behind me at the Amex.
