banjodeano Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Forgetting the window for a moment, how do you explain all the verbal abuse and threats she and her office workers suffered? But has it happened,? And if so, is it comparable to what other politicians receive. And if not, what can Corbyn do about it, and is he to blame,?

unbeliever Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 But has it happened,? Yes it has. And if so, is it comparable to what other politicians receive. No it is far worse. And if not, what can Corbyn do about it, and is he to blame,? A stronger condemnation would either turn those responsible against Corbyn or make them behave.

Berberis Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yes it has. No it is far worse. A stronger condemnation would either turn those responsible against Corbyn or make them behave. The same people where those who threatened women entering the Conservative party conference with rape Corbyn has done nothing to remove these people from the party and is therefore complicit in their actions.

altus Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 But has it happened,? As lots of the abuse was via social media there's plenty of evidence it happened. And if so, is it comparable to what other politicians receive.Comparing it with the abuse other MPs get on social media you can see that it's worse. Much of the abuse she has received has been related to her sexuality. I thought Labour were supposed respect LGBT people. It appears that it's OK for Momentum members to abuse people based on their sexuality. It's ironic that the party that introduced Section 28 is now more LGBT friendly than Corbyn's Labour party.

unbeliever Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's the sign of a zealot. They "know" their cause is righteous so anything is justified in the pursuit of it. I would not associate with or defend them even if I agreed with their objectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is... How much abuse is acceptable, and how much is not,,? I am sure Corbyn has had plenty of abuse. He has had death threats on the past.. Just look at the abuse he has had just on SF alone.... He just takes it as part of the job, but we know the blairites have an agenda and want to exploit it as much as possible, as per her window that didn't get broken..

So you've gone from trying to claim the abuse never happened to trying to justify a certain amount of abuse as acceptable. The Labour Party are supposed to be better than a bunch of homophobic misogynists. Momentum members, by their behaviour, obviously aren't. In every post you make in this thread you are acting as an apologist for the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
