Thanks to Liverpool getting through to the Champion’s league final and the ongoing series of strikes on SNCF – the French railway system we have a problem this weekend running PB.

I've been out and haven't seen what's gone on, but if that's a permanent 'gone', then please don't go. Take a break if you need it (and I think mot of us need a break from PB every so often), but please come back. You'd be missed.Beverley_C said:So long and thanks for all the fish

Stick around. I am not a Corbynist, but would vote Labour if in a Constituency where they could depose the Tories. Roughly 40% of the population support Labour, so for @Cyclefree to suggest that 40% of the population support anti-semitism or misogyny shows that she has lost her usual acumen. All political parties have their darksides, but that should not prevent us from supporting other bits of their platform.Beverley_C said:So long and thanks for all the fish

True, all political parties do have their darksides. But with Labour, John Mcdonnell *is* the darkside! He is the madman.Foxy said:

OGH - good luck with your train travel! Having booked a ticket for a strike day in June I was delighted to see my train is still on sale - though two alternatives are "not available" SNCF have said bookable trains will be running - so fingers crossed- booked in advance first class train travel in Europe is remarkably affordable!0

The issues of expectations is going to hit hard very quickly. His position is never about priorities. It's alway about where a labour government is going to spend more, in some cases substantially more, but theres never a downside or an acknowledgement that politics is managing priorities. The nebulous "we'll make the international tax cheating corporations pay" would never survive serious scrutiny and most certainly wouldnt materialise in the Treasury.NickPalmer said:
Possibly. Initially I think he'd do quite well, as people found he wasn't the madman that the Mail and Sun had built him up to be. By mid-term the difficulties of meeting expectations without upsetting the applecart would be challenging.HYUFD said:
If Corbyn gets in he will be the UK Hollande, I expect the Tories would soon build up a big poll lead and unless the centre left finds a Macron, maybe Umunna?, to replace him the Tories would comfortably win the next general election
But all these things are part of democratic change, as Beverley suggests. People try one thing, then another. Parties respond in one way, then adjust. A situation where an exhausted party hangs on indefinitely on the basis of "but the others might be worse" is fundamentally unhealthy, not only for democracy but also for the parties in question. The Tories really need a period to think what they're about. Labour really needs to try some socialist government and either find it works or find it doesn't. Britain needs both to come up with credible long-term alternatives.
Yes, you could gain a bit extra from lopping a few pence on income tax and extending ni further up the income scale. But if you have a programme that involves increasing expenditure right across the public services you are going to need a lot more than that.0 -
FPT: Just been out. Rather depressing turn of the discourse in the interim.
Mrs C, I do hope you come back.0 -

FPT, I find this government inept, politically correct, and addicted to petty regulation, but otherwise, it does no harm to me or mine.
With Corbyn in power, I'd get all of the above in spades, plus big tax increases, plus lunacy on defence and security.
So, I find it an easy choice to decide which party to support.0 -

Just to add my voice to those imploring @Beverley_C to stay.
This place is already over-infested by (male) PB Tories. As I said, Labour is now utterly mainstream if you are under 50. If you can’t deal with that, or seek to understand why people might be attracted by Corbyn, you are simply masturbating.0 -
Everyone is free to stay or go as they wish. I'm trying to think why you'd use the term 'infested' with regard to a group of human beings. Ah I've got it - wasn't there someone on QT last week wearing a t-shirt which likened Tories to rats.

Problem is lots of trolls joined the site post or in the run up to the EU ref and just spout nonsense to the point where the discourse is similar to that on twitter. I do miss the days from a few years ago where everyone was engaged but happy not to aggressively get their point across. Corbyn has obviously missed his best chance to govern but I wonder if his most passionate supporters will still be here in a year or two when Labour find a better leader.Gardenwalker said:

Mr. Johnno, not sure but it's worth pointing out many members have been here for a decade or more. Changing one's mind over that period of time isn't unusual.0

Everyone else I'm not sure about, the remain % is definitely higher than for the general population.
Hope I have everyone correct as to their referendum vote !0 -
Come back Beverley. Missed what happened, but would appeal, generally, for more tolerance and understanding for opposing viewpoints.
People get heated, and robust debate is of course good.
But it should not spill over to the point where people with differing views don't feel welcome to post here.
Ps, that applies to Plato, too, who I was sorry to see go, despite never agreeing with her.0 -

Do not misquote me. I said this:-
"I do not wish to endorse the current government. But unlike you I do not wish to endorse an alternative which I consider to be even worse. Corbyn and his coterie are beyond the pale for me. To use Mr Meeks’s approach: those who cannot abide the xenophobic lies which led to Brexit and decide to vote Labour to punish the Tories will be, whether they like it or not, endorsing the anti-Jewish racism of Corbyn’s Labour party. I am not going to play any part in substituting one form of xenophobia with another."
The key phrase is "whether they like it or not".
You may not like my analysis just as many on here do not like it when Mr Meeks points out the same thing with regard to the Leave vote. But when you vote Labour that vote will be taken by the Labour leadership as support for them. And the Labour leadership, Barnet and a few other areas nothwithstanding, are calculating that relatively few voters care about the anti-semitism issue and so they don't need to do anything about it. Your attitude shows that they are right in that cynical - if immoral - calculation. If we do end up getting a government with an anti-Jewish bias then it will be those who vote for that government who will be responsible - and for everything that will entail - even if they would like to persuade themselves that they did not support that bit.
As for misogyny, yes I do take seriously threats of violence against women and women in public life. If others don't and if the Shadow Chancellor doesn't then I am bloody well going to call him out on it and others who turn a blind eye to such stuff.
Still, it's useful to know that people are against racism and sexism up until the point when they vote for a party some of whose members are both openly racist and sexist and then these terrible sins become something that you can ignore.0 -

But it's not as leavery as it was - leavers are beginning to fall by the wayside as their promises of a simple, cost-free, "have our cake and eat it" Brexit have, shall we say, become rather problematic recently.Torby_Fennel said:

Certainly it’s not “cool” to Leave anymore, ie the sheer insanity of it is becoming obvious.
The only arguments left are:
- but, immigration
- it was the will of the people so we must do it
- we’re different coz common law, feet & inches etc
- it’ll be alright in 100 years (Charles)0 -

This place is already over-infested by (male) PB Tories. As I said, Labour is now utterly mainstream if you are under 50. If you can’t deal with that, or seek to understand why people might be attracted by Corbyn, you are simply masturbating.
Sorry to see Bev go but you must have thick skin on here some days and not give up,we all have had had those days .
Mind you, some days i'm like 'f*** the EU, lets go it alone', and then most days i'm 'Lets get the best deal possible and focus then on other needed things'.

tim was very unfairly labelled a misogynist because he quite rightly called out Plato for what she really is. I am sure tim would have been equally critical of Plato, if he was a man.dixiedean said:Come back Beverley. Missed what happened, but would appeal, generally, for more tolerance and understanding for opposing viewpoints.
People get heated, and robust debate is of course good.
But it should not spill over to the point where people with differing views don't feel welcome to post here.

Re the Remain/Leave list, Southam is also a Remainer and Cyclefree also voted to Leave (although IIRC she’s not been too happy with the way the government have been handling Brexit!) tyson is another Remainer as well.
I remember Plato back when she wasn’t all Trumpy. She was normal Tory, and easy to talk to - she was the reason why I started to watch ITVbe back then as well (she recommended a show to me). And then she became a massive Trump supporter, and it all went down hill from there. I didn’t know she was banned from Twitter.0 -

From this thread and the previous I make it vote in the referendum as follows:Tykejohnno said:
I wonder what the percentage of posters on here are leave and remain,it seems in recent times the site has been taken over by the pro EU lobby.Gardenwalker said:Just to add my voice to those imploring @Beverley_C to stay.
This place is already over-infested by (male) PB Tories. As I said, Labour is now utterly mainstream if you are under 50. If you can’t deal with that, or seek to understand why people might be attracted by Corbyn, you are simply masturbating.
Sorry to see Bev go but you must have thick skin on here some days and not give up,we all have had had those days .

Everyone else I'm not sure about, the remain % is definitely higher than for the general population.
Hope I have everyone correct as to their referendum vote !
I think that right of centre Remainers are far more heavily represented here than in the general population, left of centre Remainers are much less heavily represented,0 -
If the Labour supporters split 70:30 Remain:Leave, then 30% of 30% is about 9%.RobD said:
Why don't the topline figures on the remain/leave polls show this? Surely 30% of Labour leave would be a noticeable amount?Scott_P said:twitter.com/AndrewSparrow/status/1000025361839685640
Remember this 9% is of the Labour voters. Let's say 9% of 40% = 3.6% of the total.
Yes, that is significant. However, a similar number of Tory "Remainers" have moved in the opposite direction.
Just look at HYUFD, Carlotta here.0 -
You do like misrepresenting me.Gardenwalker said:
Faith-based policymaking. Cool.Charles said:
You’re misrepresenting meGardenwalker said:Certainly it’s not “cool” to Leave anymore, ie the sheer insanity of it is becoming obvious.
The only arguments left are:
- but, immigration
- it was the will of the people so we must do it
- we’re different coz common law, feet & inches etc
- it’ll be alright in 100 years (Charles)
I just have faith in the British people to make a go of it
That’s not what I said0
