I don't care about true-believer horseshit either. Life doesn't work that way. It's futile. Brittle reeds break.

You might be right. However, good policies benefiting everyone have made it through Parliament. That's the point of gaining leadership. Responsibly representing people

Back of my card.
Why indulge in this cynicism? It's possible to lose, to feel pain and not whine or bite in response to it. Those responses can drive others away prolonging our loss or suffering.

That Labour so overindulges and sent the stated e-mails -somewhat ironically I would have been the despised rich to Chip in a £1 every time they asked,is a fact
I've remained in Labour for fourty years and have been as active as circumstances allow each to their own as to how they manage that.I reserve the right to take the piss.

Narcotic & hallucinogen drug sales
That's.... an interesting theory!

I was actually wondering if there's some sort of start-up grant or something that doesn't have to be paid back which they use to set up a useless business, pay themselves a hefty wage from and then walk away debt free.

Of course some self-employed people are just carrying eye-watering amounts of debt.

Perhaps my reply was more flippant than is wise. I've had to seek advice and assistance regarding neighbour's drug use. Please excuse me if I've been insensitive.

Of course. My studies of the GE results and my posted results findings help me determine what happened. Knowing the truth about the failed attempt to get Labour into leadership is essential. What did or didn't I do wrong, if anything?

Now I'm really going to sleep.
