OT: BBC at Labour Conf

The same criticism applies to you and all the others on here who take it for granted that Kuensberg has really received death threats, just because the media, and perhaps the police, say so.

You will remember the police are also prosecuting a man for posting a YouTube video showing his dog performing Nazi salutes, and who prosecuted another man for posting a joke on Facebook about bombing an airport because his plane was cancelled. A police force who, in short, have proved themselves to be f*****ts.

LK must of upset an awful lot of people with her peculiar take on things. I'll bet some right-wingers would like to kick her arse 'n all.

The difference is that they don't appear to have done so, and generally speaking, don't do so.

It is an offence to joke about putting a bomb on an aircraft. If you don't believe me just got to an airport and crack such a joke. The police don't make the rules.

I'm sure it must be horrible to receive death threats. But from what I've been told, not at all unusual for a 'personality' who frequents the social meja. Just how you decide which are the usual hot air and which may be serious, I've no idea. But then few murderers inform their victim of their intentions before hand. Except in a domestic situation.

It's certainly got Ms Kuenssberg lots of publicity. Exactly what most personalities crave.

Some people say the Holocaust never happened, or that 9/11 was an American conspiracy...

Some people said there were WMDs in Iraq. Some people were stupid enough to believe them.

MUST HAVE

I assume you are just back from That fringe meeting in Brighton then?

What does your comment have to do with mine?

Now correct all of the other mistakes Mr Doom makes. Will take you some time.

But the idea of you picking someone up for a grammar mistake etc is the best laugh I've had today.

This is actually up for debate at the Labour Conference Fringe this year.

Oh blimey! You're right of course, NP. I think I've picked up some bad grammatical habits from reading DP's posts again. When you read rubbish, you risk writing it. :(

"debate"? Is that when two opposing sides argue their point in a civilised manner? I don't think the current Labour Party allows that.

I had the Labour party conference on in the background most of yesterday for a laugh ...

It seems there was a *lot* of the NEC strong-arming local parties to withdraw rule changes they'd requested votes on 15 months previously, quite a few of which were on anti-Semitism issues, many of them did withdraw, but loudly saying they'd be back in two years time (due to the

There were also speakers who kept their chewing gum in their mouth while at the lectern - classy.

Lots of people making political capital out of Grenfell

Far too much cult-of-Jeremy tuneless chanting of "oh-Je-Remy-Cor-byn ..."

And people who still seem to think they won the last general election.

people who don't seem to realise how stupid calling each other "comrade" sounds this millennium.

I wouldn't try getting insurance for that risk if I were you.

Dont worry. Even the DT is now saying that the little prince [said he is?] is fed up of school already.

In short a program destined to utterly charm people under the age of 19.

I had it playing in the the background yesterday for a while for the same reason.

The one thing that stood up for me was how lightweight the people at the top of the party now are:

- almost all are ex-union people, i.e. with hardly any real-world experience, and none of them seem to bring to the table any real achievement or success in anything worthwhile. See Rebecca Long-Bailey for example (worked in shops, a factory, and then 5 years as a junior solicitor - surely now ready to lead a cabinet office?.

- Many are young/very young (but considering that some are the 4th in line since JC took office 2 years ago it should not be a great surprise that they had to scrape the barrel).

- Most are very inarticulable, and seem to have very poor language skills not a disaster, but politician are essentially paid to talk, so one can expect them to be good at it).

Just like your beloved Tory party members - all public school boys with no real-world experience and no achievements or success in anything worthwhile.

Better than many tories. At least she has worked in a real job.

They're not paid to talk - paid to act as our MPs.
