Thank you Bill
I know that you and Bakes and others have strong views on affiliation to the Labour Party and FBU members are affiliated to this quasi vote rigging

Regardless of your political preference or whether you are even a member of the Labour Party influencing a ballot any ballot is plain wrong and needs challenging
What next?
Well the NEC election is taking place soon and already I have had emails from the likes of Ben Bradshaw exporting the virtues of a few likely candidates and no surprises which hue of the political spectrum they represent

You are affiliated to the Labour Party
Look what they are doing

Thanks Wally it's the thought that counts.
It's more about raising awareness of the lengths that some are prepared to go to to " reclaim" the Labour Party.

Jeremy Corbyn, good bad or indifferent is the democratically elected leader of the Labour Party.
Now if the rebel MPs , yes they are the ones not supporting the Labour Party , can't find it within themselves to get behind the leader the membership want then why not stand on their own two feet and form " Blue Labour". ( thanks Big Smoothie)

Then let the electorate decide who they want .

They can't be allowed to change rules and bend the name of Labour to their ends.

There are some real shenanigans going on.
For example "Windowgate" . It's not widely known that the broken window that was purported to be the window of Angela Eagles own office, was a small ground floor window on a shared staircase in a building containing several different occupants. Jeremy Corbyn was in the frame for chucking the brick if we were to believe some reports when it displayed the hallmarks of either vandalism or attempted break in.

JC is a principled left wing honest respectful politician, just what the Labour party needs and the establishment hate.
Blue Labour (Big Smoothie) are part of that establishment, and can't understand that the difference between them and the real tories are minimal and that some of the public require an alternative to the self serving elitist career politicians that walk round Parliament full of their own self importance and looking for the next angle to claim more expenses, instead of representing their electorate. They seem to forget they were elected to represent, not dictate.
Scotland eliminated main stream politics when the SNP (like them or loathe them) ran positive campaigns and represented their constituents and argued for them and showed Labour up as a party of the establishment.

JC could do worse than look north to see how the SNP eliminated its opponents with positive rhetoric, policies that matter to people and a proven track record in Government, which the SNP had in Holyrood.

The UK need an alternative to establishment politics and i hope that JC can do this, until then i hold my union leaders responsible for the reaffiliation to a party that cant even decide the colour of sh1te, and when the Blue Labour members regain the Labour party i expect to see my GS held responsible.

My GS cant even tell me if Scottish members of the FBU have a vote in the leadership contest, as allegedly we are not paying levy to Labour, so i will refrain from signing the above letter.

I have a very large bag of told you so's waiting to be unleashed.

The GS as I think we all know is Westminster bound.

The GS as I think we all know is Westminster bound.

Not if blue labour have anything to do with it.

:C

Not if blue labour have anything to do with it.

That's why he's creeping up Corbyns arse.
He will get there and end up the same as the rest of em.
Trouble is he's using the Union as his ticket.
