The socialists are fighting amongst themselves.

It is because they have no viable alternative to the Thatcherite settlement achieved by 1990. We have lived by those ground rules ever since. Lefties like Delia don't like it so they lump it.

Oh No Vince, don't go all political, you spout enough bollox about the football

[Midlands Yellow 4,012]

What does Delia say? I’m sure it’s a good read.

I'm still waiting for him to tell me what he thinks socialism is

Do the socialists themselves know what it is? Prior to 1994 it was defined by clause 4. Then it was the Third Way. What is it now?

Smith, 80, told The Daily Telegraph: “There was a woman who was asked, ‘Do you believe the prime minister lied?’ and she said, ‘Yes I do’. [The woman was then asked] ‘So will you vote for him at the next election?’ and she said’ ‘Yes, of course, I will.’

“I don’t want this [to become] political, because I don’t think the other side are any good either.” 

Smith said that “our politics is past its sell-by date” and “we haven’t got the right leaders making the right decisions”. She added: “We need collaborative leadership . . . it has to be bottom-up, because what we’re all living with at the moment is top-down, and that isn’t working at all.”

Actually a very good question Vince! (Surprised myself there 😃). Starmer has been leader for nearly 2 and 1/2 years and no realclues yet!

Oh for heaven's sake  don't encourage him! Yes, actually for once it was a half-sensible observation but after 1,700 posts it just means we will have to put up with another 1,700 before he manages that again...

She could easily have been describing her leadership at Norwich City!!

Exactly. Her train set style of leadership has been entirely top down.

Not only that, but the most senior officials to leave the club have been prevented from speaking out by her corporate gagging clauses.

[Capt. Pants 4,260]

I agree with Delia, 80, she's spot on.

Exactly! She invited Boris to Carrow Road during the pandemic, probably wanted to join the partying.

As with all things Labour.... they take your money and then demand you be grateful for making them riich and privileged.

 

It's time the old dinosaur became extinct like the rest of them.

Have you been paying the slightest bit of attention these last few years??

Can't read the whole article, but the cynical bar-steward in me thinks "oh, yeah, I see what's going on here.... Operation Save Lying Wankstain by mass media".

She has done a good job of influencing her lefty followers on here.

 

Talk about the blind leading the blind.

[corbs 147]

Once again, have to agree with Delia, I’m getting some good natured jibes in my household because I voted Green in our local elections (in Hackney), mainly because they are the more socialist party. I voted for our current Labour Mayor because he’s doing a good job.

She can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. Does that make her an influencer?
