It will die a natural death if people are allowed to post insults to other members knowing that those posts will not be removed. I can't see many people rushing to join and be told they are "thick".

Days like this are a test of an opposition leader. Corbyn has chosen to reinforce every negative stereotype about his woolly-headed naivety.

There is still a battle for the soul of the Labour party rather than bringing back lost voters into the fold.

Apparently labour will be going around the uk asking the people why they have stopped supporting the labour party ?
Judging by the reaction we get from labour party activist I don’t think they will like the public feedback ,,or act on it .
So 2020 will be a rerun of 2015 unless the Tory’s f,,,,up on not getting us 100% out of the EU .
if it lasts that long

The local activists in the main don't understand why people don't act as they are told to and I suspect it is the same in other areas and UKIP nationally know this and are exploiting it. The Tory high command think they are being clever in bashing those planning to strike but I suspect this could backfire badly on them. Once it becomes generally known that the wages of cabin crew and airport staff are very low then public sympathy could well go their way. The nasty party are showing their true colours again and are trying to curb workers rights even more and this will steadily sink in .

Quite a lot here, Labour showed in the by election in Maxton elms vale and priory that they had lost touch so much so iv heard from 3 activists of labour that they are writing to labour HQ to have me expelled from the party, iv not been a member of the labour party for over 8 years. so way behind the times, and making themselves look silly.
labour lost because they lost touch, not only did they do badly they came third behind the tory candidate who didn't do any leaflets until the last few days
I'm also hearing that some of there leading lights feel had I not stood labour would have won, I don't even share that view as I had people vote for me from the tory/labour/lib dem and non political backgrounds so theres no guarantee labour would have won
they havnt learnt either, still spending to much time concerned over me
rather than investigating why they got such a poor result.
look across the country and see how labour is unlikely to gain control in Scotland(even tories are preferred now)
and up north I'm sure UKIP should make a dent in the labour vote which will keep labour out of power.
worse it will keep the conservatives in.
on the strikes of course its about the safety of the passengers as bob knows but of course h loves to attack labour a hobby of his.
this is ongoing as the conservatives carry out there pledge to cut cut cut cut

You support EU membership and by default mass moment and the importation of cheap workers .
Most old labour or blue labour have abandoned the labour party over political correctness and its love of minority’s and Islam . And all above.
Why do you think the voters have abandon the labour party ?

When I used to work at Heathrow working as an airborne 'trolly dolly' was though of as being a good job by short good-looking women and gay males who had missed out on an academic education. (they didn't pronounce QUANTAS as 'quaint ass' without reason.
)
I would have thought it even more attractive now airlines have been forced to employ ancient workers who are no longer necessarily pleasing on the eye (which is why I tend to fly Singapore Airlines who don't bother with such PC crap).

Some of your comments are very worrying on how you view women or the younger generation.

Keith,
I don't actually give a toss about yours or anyone else's views about anything and especially about me as it happens.
The more I read your comments on the forum however, the more you appear to be as people have described you!
Do try to lighten up.

please you ask me that, when you prove yourself to be as your party called you in for
its because I and others are lightened up as you seek that the forum flows
but with all social sites the dangers of upsetting are real

Post 95: deeply, deeply shocked. At the apparent absence for so long from our screens of Singapore Air commercials. I mean, not only do they fly the things and close the cabin doors for you, but they do it without a chipped fingernail or hair out of place - just the kind of multi-tasking you need in an emergency.

Keith,
I give up (and I'm normally quite good at puzzles).

Where do I put in the punctuation to make sense of this? It reads like the Japanese translated instructions on my new microwave! Surely you haven't started cracking open the second bottle before eight again?
