Syria Bombing Vote Tomorrow

[Daffodil]

 On the television this morning there was a discussion about the block voting for labour by ethnic minorities, some who can neither read or speak English.  There is also controversy in Bradford between different tribes, some from Kashmir and some from the Punjab. How would this affect the thinking of people representing the labour party at the top?

Well it has taken only a few hours for the "dodgy dossier" file to be opened on Cameron's ludicrous claim that there were 70,000 "moderate" rebels ready to provide ground troops to support the aerial war of the so-called "allies" to find that it was made against the advice of MoD officials who told him this figure could not be supported. Never mind, he got the vote he wanted. Just like that other chap over Iraq - what was his name?

I didn't think Benn's speech was all people are saying it was. It was a good speech, no more.

Watched the news tonight.  The T.V. Cameras were interviewing people in the constituency about their new M.P.  One Asian woman was asked did she like him.  She said he was a very nice man and she did like him. Then she was asked how do you like Jeremy Corbyn...."Jeremy Corbyn" she said "Who is he ?" 

I also think Benn will be the next leader of the Labour Party and sooner rather than later.

And the bookies .

Yes, as you USB and Nichola do not live in the U.K. you would not know the talk about Hilary Benn who has been mentioned on lots of our T.V. Programmes in the press and on the radio as the next leader of the Labour Party and as H says, our British bookies have him as the favourite to replace Corbyn.

As for me, it would not matter how I voted, I live in an SNP stronghold in Salmond's ex-constituency having said  that I find his replacement Eilihd Whiteford  likeable and a good M.P.  . I wrote to her with a local concern and she acted immediatley and was a great help.

And UBT, these people doing all the chattering only have the best interest of the Labour Party at heart. They aren't stirring things to cause trouble - not at all.

"I always cheer up immensely if an attack is (intended to be) particularly wounding (or undermining) because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left."
