andygardener Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Its worse than 1973. We had bottle then. We fought back. Now the Unions lay down and surrender. All students do these days is booze, in our day they were the voice of justice. They used to demonstrate. Thats why people of my generation have some sort of pension to look forward to. The youngsters wont. They accept everything the Torys dish out. You only get the goverment you deserve. At least I havent got much longer to put up with the attack on workers rights. You choose not to fight, you suffer even more indignities. I choose to work. Not to whine, nor "fight", just work. People give me money for so doing. It works out fine for all concerned.

Happ Hazzard Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Students were never "the voice of justice". They just thought they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 How many members of this party are there? There's only a few I think, probably 200 at most. Radio Sheffield did a phone-in about them a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yahweh Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 How many members of this party are there? It appears that members are being expelled for even discussing the rape allegation and how it was dealt with. So, If it carries on, they'll only be Martin Smith and his mates on the Central Committee. There is also evidence coming to light that this is not the first time that the 'Disputes Committee' has investigated rape/sexual abuse allegations.

Self-employed or self-centred?As John Donne penned "no man is an island" You are indirectly benefiting from the efforts of others to establish equity in society.

Stoatwobbler Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Does this mean more far left splinter groups? I have many issues with the far left, but given their tendency to fall out amongst themselves over the slightest hairline ideological issue that's not a major concern for me. The SWP still need to stop sweeping this issue under the carpet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 in the words of a great leader. “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” ― Winston Churchill says it all really!

Can you date that utterance,as Churchill did change his views,moving from Liberals to Tories.In fact he was made by WW2,before that he was the spiteful politician who ordered troops to block food convoys to starving children in Rhondda.

Well, Churchill was a thug wasn't he? He wasn't a great leader either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
