Harriet Harman: we are weeding out bogus Labour leadership voters



Harriet Harman: A very naive personality






How far will the present leadership go to appease an hysterical media and television campaign to discredit and undermine the election process?
Harman has fallen into the trap engineered by elements on the right and has demonstrated a very naive personality. To even acknowledge the "infiltration" distraction and then to give it credence by defending "the integrity of her party’s leadership election system", evidences the extent to which the Blairites and the right, emboldened by the media and Tory supporters, are prepared to sink in order to achieve the election of their preferred candidate. The electorate will never vote for a party which offers the same policies as the Conservatives, but with a different coloured wrapping. The Labour commitment to more austerity but of a different shape was rejected at the last election and at the one before. To go into another period until the next election of Labour trotting out the same old faces offering the same old policies is exactly what the Conservatives and their city and financial masters are dreaming of. Conservative government for the foreseeable future. 
They and the media who support them are petrified of the possibility of Jeremy Corbyn winning the leadership contest. Harman has, with today's intervention, given some small grain of hope to the rabid right. She should immediately declare that the election will proceed as planned, no matter what the opponents may say or do. Show some guts Harriet and lead.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Workers face ban on striking .

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/15/trade-unions-conservative-offensive-decades-strikes-labour?CMP=share_btn_fb     Tories launch biggest crackdown on trade unions for 30 years         The Labour party must oppose the continuing assault on ordinary people in this country. Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.

Just in time for the holiday season.

http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/10242948._No_go__for_motorists_in_May_as_parts_of_A35_are_set_for_closure/?ref=mr  Sections of A35 are set for closure in May David Groves from Connect will be in charge of the work on the A35    Road closures between Bridport and Honiton over ten days in May. It seems that many road closures and endless miles of traffic cones on each side of the workings, are always commenced during the holiday season. I know that there are valid reasons (?) why this particular work is scheduled for May (putting down a specialist surface that cannot be laid in moist conditions), but the chaos of diversions and hold ups is something many tourists, commuters and local residents are forced to endure in countless areas all over the country in the spring and summer months every year. Miles and miles of cones.   How often have vehicles crawled for miles past the "Lane ahead closed" markings only to find when ...
