John McDonald, shadow chancellor, calls for a million people on the streets to force the government out because it isn't a legitimate government.  This is a very dangerous path we are going down here. 

 

Wake up people.  I no longer think they are just crazy. They are dangerously crazy. 

 

 

It won't happen, not yet anyway. Most people will accept the result as a fair and democratic process. That is not to say that after  the "ah well" period that the People's Liberation Army will not rise up.

It's not.

 

Correct. I checked. Shame.

 

i suppose you support his call to action for a million trade unionists to march on London demanding that the government is turfed out, due to It being not legitimate?

I've no problem with peaceful protest. I haven't seen his comments, if he's asking for violent action then that's clearly wrong. I think peaceful  protest has been a legitimate form of action for centuries hasn't it?

Yeah because asking 1m union members, socialist worker activists, readers of the various Marxist rags etc etc to march on London is def going to be peaceful.

 

Stop tap dancing, you know full well what is going on here.  They are creating a 'class' war. They want one.  They will ask the unions to produce march after march, strike after strike during the rest of this year. All designed to topple the government.  

 

The left laughed and said it was playing on fear talking of a return to the 70's with Corbyn and the Corbynista. It has happened within weeks. Unions attempting to run the country again, already.  Austerity? You ain't seen nothing yet.

?? slight overreaction or what. McDonnell (sic) says something you don't agree with and the next minute we're overrun by Marxists. Still, it is 100 years since the Russian Revolution.....

The only quote I see in there from a Labour MP talks about putting pressure on May in parliament, it's hardly digging up IRA weapons and taking to the streets is it? 

 

And if if you're relying on The Socialist Party to be a barometer of the political left you may as well equate the Tories to Britain First. If you're looking for extremism then you will find it, I prefer more mainstream political discourse ?

They roll over on the first day of Brexit negotiations now they can't even agree a deal with their right wing DUP buddies. There really is no end to their incompetence. If only we had one of the country's leading barristers in on the negotiations. So close. 

Apparently the running joke amongst Tory MPs is that they should send the DUP to negotiate Brexit. They're quite good at saying, "NO," if nothing else

It's like there is collective amnesia in the Labour Party on everything...

There's certainly collective amnesia in the Tory party. They've forgotten the recent heroism of emergency services whilst giving £1bn to climate change deniers. Cheering when they defeated Labour's motion on scrapping the freeze on pay for firefighters, police etc. Is a disgrace. I expect to see the outrage on the front of the Daily Mail tomorrow.
