FWIW I totally ignore all the "if you can afford to smoke" non arguments.They are a variety of ways to do so that cost nothing or very little.The sweepings of a factory floor washed left to dry and sold extremely cheaply in bags -particulary good if you like a mixture of flavours.Street walking recycling method,speaks for itself but for obvious reasons knowledge of places where people gather helps.The never ending roll-up,again obvious,just keep making until you risk.lighting just a piece of paper.You can avoid the need for lighter or matches by blow torching your hair via gas ring and simply going up to people with the well worn phrase "Yourdonthappentohavealightmatedoyou?".Simply by knowing other people that smoke you can ask them some people rely on this totally known as the "OPO's"-other peoples' only.Knowing someone,a clever ruse that it is not beyond unthinkeable that some reciprocal arrange can be made where you help.them and they give you tobacco,it's even be known that family/friends help.out and share things,incredible as it may seem That is just the tip of the iceberg.I have never used any of these methods,it is part of thorough research only.

Phew. Am feeling relieved. Have just signed a letter my husband typed up for me.
Have resigned from the Labour party.

There's been no sign that either faction will work together. No effective opposition can result while the party is in such disarray. If Corbyn wins it'll be strife, if Smith wins it'll be strife.

Felt there was little point voting for either candidate.
Corbyn, and his circle, seem reluctant to concede any points made about the leadership may have validity. I get no sense that any change will occur if he wins again, and therefore could not vote for him again this time around.

Smith may be able to be a better manager of the party, and eventually be able to connect with voters, but he would not be allowed to get on with it without acrimony. His candidacy just allows all the old divisions to come to the fore, and his previous career is worrying.

Next time Labour tears itself apart, hopefully they will manage to bring forward a real unity candidate, someone who will be able to gain respect, and not get abuse from, the opposite side of the party.
But pigs will fly before that happens.

Am feeling very disenchanted, very let down by them all.

Yes I did. I'll try to confine myself to posting links and asking for support for factual claims by others that are (I think) false. I won't respond to other things even if addressed to me by name if it will lead to upset.

Unfortunately however, I think the discord is mainly coming from strong disagreement. That is the politics of the left at the moment. Look what happened to TE. Pre-May 2015 it was, I think, fine.

Friends I respect have left Labour before now and each time I wonder why. It's not my place to question your civic participation. However, if you can or want to will you please let me know if you're joining another political party? Our health, prosperity and environment are in the hands of elected representatives making decisions in government. Our system of political party affiliation and/or voting locally for an individual as an independent leave us with few options for gaining representation. We require society, government, to get through each day. What realistic choices do we have? I hope I've not offended anyone. It's not my intention. I'm wary about posting this at all - I don't question the integrity of your conscience - please know I know you're doing what you feel you must. I don't know how leaving Labour will help you. I question what the hell else we're supposed to do to realistically get our needs and wants met.

I am afraid the only 'constructive' thing that would satisfy those complaining would be that I went away.

If by "acknowledge the damage done" you mean that I acknowledge that I have been abusive or broken any rule of the forum, I am afraid I don't acknowledge that.

The parish council seat detail is comedy gold.

Not a cult though.

But the love for Corbyn was, in that auditorium, off the chart. The Labour member stood next to me said she had seen nothing like it since the early days of Blair - a man who, it was pointed out to me last week, in 1996 was causing women to pass out in hysteria when he was out and about, Beatles-style.
Hang on, so Corbyn is the new Blair?
Hugo, have you decided to change approach with some subtle reverse psychology?
You do remember that all that adulation didn't in the end turn out all that well.

I am a Blairite, but I was as opposed to the Iraq war as anyone.

Hubris is what this adulation causes.

It really is no accident that Corbyn looks a lot happier now he is out campaigning with labour supporters. That is his comfort zone, not trying to lead MPs or converting middleground voters

Thanks for reply & sorry for delay in replying,
(got side tracked by a trip to an off-licence, and am now the proud temporary owner of a bottle of Austrian red)

Yes I remember & agree with a lot of what you've said,
It would for me (probably illogically) be one of the best reasons for not voting for Jeremy Corbyn,
in that a lot of support for him comes from hopes which probably won't get met
& in that in the event of him ever being PM, it could be (at best) be a big let down.

But seeing as he's unelectable, that's not really an issue.

Should add fwiw I didn't vote for Corbyn last year, however the alternative at the moment isn't looking good,
I don't like their approach to leadership challenge, could go on, but it's basically same arguments as most others on ftn.

I commented on whether a nasty comment about Smith was a bit harsh, and the response was to up the nasty insult further, and some people agreed with it.

There shouldn't be one rule for some, and a different rule for another.
We've been here before about Hugo.
I've never felt attacked by him personally, apart from something he said in general about Corbyn fans.

And, maybe the sore spot for some is that he was right in a general sense about Ed not making it to No 10. Much as I wanted to believe otherwise. Sometimes reality gives you a kick in the backside, no point ignoring it.

mbc1955 · Post by **mbc1955** » Sun 24 Jul, 2016 6:23 pm

It's breaking my promise to myself not to respond, but Hugo's latest response demonstrates the true reason why he is correct is assuming that most people's ideal solution would be for him to go away forever. It has nothing to do with our apparent collective inability to understand and appreciate what he says, causing us to want to stop our ears up against hearing it, but rather everything to do with his narcissistic inability to comprehend that his incapacity to understand that other people have different opinions and may indeed resent being continually lectured by someone so convinced that his every word is the perfect truth, is beyond unproductive and a waste of everybody's time. Even now, he cannot understand in the least fraction how offensive his lack of engagement, his constant demeaning of others and his patronising 'just trying to comprehend why the stupid people think the stupid way they do' comes over.

I repeat: he is like a Manchester United supporter constantly raising and praising Manchester United on a Liverpool fan forum and bemused as to why his polite and swear-free explanations of why Manchester United are infinitely superior to Liverpool in every way possible are attracting opposition and condemnation. I mean, it's them that's abusing him, so what's he doing that's so wrong?

AngryAsWell · Post by **AngryAsWell** » Sun 24 Jul, 2016 6:26 pm

I've read back over the weekend posts and - honestly - I can't see in any of Hugo's post any personal insults. He holds a different point of view to many here, that's all. Is it provocative to post a different view point to the main stream? Personally I don't think it is.
Tolerance is a wonderful word.

Actually, of course, I was wrong about that (and right). From September 2010 until (about) April 2015 I was sure Labour would lose and a Tory/Lib Dem coalition returned, in large part because of poor Labour leadership. I then believed the polls and thought we'd have a minority Labour government. So I get no brownie points for predicting Labour defeat as I both did and didn't.

The conclusion I drew was the opposite of most members, who seem to have decided that you may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.

I did predict last year that electing a leader with not only no PLP support but the active hostility of many couldn't possibly work.

Not because I find his posts insulting or patronising, although I can see why some people do, but because the only subject he wants to discuss is the labour leadership. Not everything in politics has to be seen through that prism.
I think most people here are concerned about labour infighting because it takes attention away from the tories and what they're up to. We shouldn't be doing the same thing here.
