    And this is why its gone from new labour to the nasty party under Corbyn. Again Donny, thankyou for proving my point.

    That's what you get on here, because you simply dislike Corbyn somehow they assume you are a " Tory boy" it's as though they must only be 2 parties, I do enjoy seeing that comeback though

    not only do you not understand your posts, you don’t read anyone else’s either.
    Just a few posts ago, you insisted you hadn’t suggested I supported Corbyn (with some terrible spelling) yet here you are again.

    there’s nothing ‘nasty’ in my post, it’s a simple truism, I’ve worked with plenty of ‘labour voters’ in the 70s and 80s who were devoid of any socialist principles. As they got older and had a few quid in the bank (not rich in any meaningful way), they found reasons to stop supporting Labour.

    this forum is littered with them, and that’s no surprise.

    We get that you and your anti Corbyn pal don't like him, think we got it first time round to be honest. Why not instead fill us with your wisdom on who you think should be the next PM and why, rather than constantly focus on the perceived negative attributes of one person?

    If Johnson for example hadn't have come out with racist remarks I could slightly understand why you'd focus on Corbyn, but you both just come across as anti JC obsessives and its boring. To not acknowledge Johnson's several faux pas it presents you as being pro Tory. If you aren't why aren't you raising these things so passionately as well?

    This is a new one. :) you usually pretend you haven’t ever posted what you’re accused of, now you’re just giving up.

    is a Trixie translation ‘the only people I’m happy to see go without are undeserving’?

    I’ll write it again as you’re clearly lacking in the comprehension stakes.

    I’m no fan of Corbyn, but I don’t understand how anyone who claims to be a ‘typical labour supporter’ can take so strongly against Corbyn but give Johnson and Farage a free ride.

    again, no party politics, no accusation of being ‘Tory’ just total puzzlement! Why try desperately to find a shred of evidence linking Corbyn to anti-semitism (where the closest you’ll come is that he’s failed to deal with it) whilst letting Johnson off Scot free with actual racist things he’s said that we have all witnessed.

    again - not accusing anyone of ‘supporting’ him; but it’s a bit odd innit?

    There's plenty of people i detest in the world, yet don't find the need to use a football forum to solely post about them and nothing else? Bit odd behaviour?

    Not saying that applies to you as I think you do post other stuff but Trickster doesn't. Naturally people are going to question why they would do that aren't they? Is that so difficult to understand? Especially in a Labour stronghold.

    For someone who spends so much time telling other folk how wrong they are because they dint read/ understand posts you sure are a prime example aren't you. I didn't say you supported corbyn, I said that under him labour has become known as ‘the nasty party’. Your posts to me and others who criticize his leadership are insulting at best, nasty at your worst. You are a prime example of why the party and its support have been labelled so. It’s relevant to this thread as we’re talking about a woman given dogs abuse for speaking out, just like you do. Hence you prove my point. I can’t speak for anyone else who has withdrawn support but from my own perspective It’s nowt to do with withdrawing from labour as I have a few quid, its everything to do with the current leadership and policies. You won’t accept that though will you, preferring instead to post insults. Proving my point again and again.

    No Donny, I just get bored with your withering replies and insults, I think its probably just best if I leave you to it and stop rising to the bait, you’re clearly way to smart for me.

    Again, I think they are all idiots just that I think comrade is the biggest one, please dont assume I am Brexit or Tory, but going back to your point I dont see many anti tory/ brexit party voters who
    I total get that DR, it isn't difficult to understand at all. My take on it is if you for example you vote Labour, the Lunatic party or whoever 1, it's your absolute right to vote for who you feel are fit, I would for one never assume you are this or that because my opinion and mindset is different to yourself, I would never lambast you for voting for a party which I wouldn't vote for. but on here people write there outlook/ opinion and in many cases they are ridiculed and insulted for having a difference of opinion, how dare they not ALL think the same, so when people get asked why or certainly me I dont reply because many spit out dummies, some are very good posters who will debate in a grown up manner but many won't. The impression I get from various social media platforms especially up north is that its many lifelong labour voters who wont support labour with Corbyn, these people ain't tories just because they don't like him, but it's a good 1980s mindset to chuck back I suppose

    I didn’t. I was simply reiterating my view of others, in fact I said as much in the post you quoted.

    But you haven't voted for Labour since 1997 so it can't have anything to do with Corbyn?

    I think we should hang a little context to this.

    here’s a very privileged individual calling out Corbyn and it leads to a discussion about Labour being ‘nasty’ just on ‘feelings’ and ‘research’ that won’t be shared.

    meanwhile this week; one Tory minister has asserted that poverty isn’t the fault of Tory policy (despite them telling us they had to reduce benefits and spending on the disadvantaged). Apparently no link at all between the government cutting benefits and poor people getting poorer.

    then another Tory minister defends the decision to sue the parents of a dead teenager for legal costs arisen from them challenging a very questionable government decision.

    So; y’know, Labour is ‘nasty’ because JC offends the sensibilities of a beautiful rich successful woman, meanwhile thousands of working class people have died as a direct result of Tory policy and that seems to be OK, obviously they don’t have the beautiful smile or Twitter reach.

    The thing I cant understand about Riley is this
    She feels that Labour has a problem with antisemitism - fair enough a lot of Jews share that view. People can agree or disagree with her on that.but it is her strongly held belief.
    How can she reconcile that with supporting the Tories who clearly have a problem with racism - she only seems to have the Labour party setup as bad guys
    To pick on Corbyn but then support Patel and Johnson does seem to be a bit double standards
