Jezzer has just released a statement stating he wasn't there but if he was he had just popped out for a fag and didn't speak to the holocaust denier but if he was there and did speak to him he didn't know who he was.....or something...

WTF is it with the palestine-fetish?? Haven't they got better things to campaign about, like zero hours contracts, NHS, UKcentric stuff, tax, things that actually affect the UK population!

I watched yesterday afternoon's "debate" from the conference, the few hours after Thornberry spoke (she didn't say anything worthwhile either, just banged on about how much she loves Jeremy). It was absolutely bizarre, 2.5 hours long of a succession of nobodies from the provinces coming up to the lectern and given a few minutes each, with some woman chair doing a hopeless job of selecting them, controlling them, and keeping them to time. All of their little speeches started with "Hi I'm so and so from wherever, I'm a first time delegate and first time speaker" (muted applause / whooping if they looked a bit special). Lots and lots of them used the word "comrades" to address the rest of the hall, one ranted about fellow delegates should not be "uncomradely" to each other.

It seemed like 45% of the people came up to rant about Palestine (which seemed doubly odd given the massive banners around the hall giving the conference headline of "Rebuilding Britain"), the other 45% came up to rant about the chair woman failing to pick people from their section of the hall because they were too short to be seen or because they were Asian or something. A few valiantly tried to say something about different motions than the Palestine one but they were in the minority.

On the rare occasions the camera was put on the audience they mostly looked bored to tears or studiously working on their phones/ipads so not listening to any of it. Really confusing what the point of this conference is.

Confusing? You're not kidding.

I think most folks heads are spinning - even those in the conference.

If there was another GE sooner rather than later and labour lost again do you think he is stupid enough to try and keep his labour leaders position.

Why do you need to be forgiven for reading the DM?

If you're embarrassed about the fact you do, then don't read it.

And you can't say I don't because you posted a link to it.....

Just standard PH etiquette to apologise for linking to the DM isn't it...?

I don't really give a rat's arse either way to be honest - FWIW someone told me about the JC gaffe it so I googled it and this was the first link to it.

Fair point, just seems odd people apologise for reading something in the DM, we all know most of it is total ste but there may be one or two interesting articles that make us all chuckle...........

Like Corbyn not being able to confirm his 'most important 6 points' and it seems he even has a facepalm moment hehe

Labours glorious leader is heading off to Brussels to meet Barnier on Thursday.

Just what the fk for......?

While the EU think there's a chance of another referendum and Brexit reversal, we'll never get anything.
