Lammy epitomises why Labour will struggle to get in.

[Nosmo-King]

See the jerk blasted the police in Bristol for being “ really, really heavy handed. The guy is a disgrace offering such comments. Being pelted with bricks, bottles and fireworks - so is this acceptable in the eyes of the Shadow Home Secretary.

Absolute baffoon and certainly not fit for the position.

 

[atomicloonybin aka ALB]

Do you mean David Lammy?

 

[Nosmo-King]

Bleeding predictive text! Yes, thanks for pointing out

I can’t listen to him - the reason this lot will never get in is they spend 95percent criticising the current gvt at every turn and not enough time on offering up a credible , alternative vision for people to buy into.

They offered a very good alternative in 2017 and 2019 and still didn’t get in.

Obviously not good enough.....twice.......not a coincidence then?.........have to agree with the OP , blokes a liability

Just sorting it for you.

He doesn't exactly inspire confidence, but if some of their MPs saying stupid things is the reason "they'll never get in" how have the Tories managed it time and time and again? They're even worse.

Almost as if the two aren't being held to the same standard or something isn't it?

OP totally misrepresented what he said about unacceptable violence. A typical Tory tactic to spread misinformation.

So when is a quote not a quote?!

He's not even the Shadow Home Secretary.

What is a baffoon by the way?

Has anyone got the video of bottles and bricks being used? Can’t see anything online

We seem to use a very different approach when passing judgement on the Labour Party than we do the current government.

When its chopped to fit a narrative

 

[SuperStu]

Can't say I particularly rate Lammy. Think he's quite a shallow thinker. BUT to be fair to him he has very little to do with why Labour won't be in power for the next 13/14 years.

 

[SuperStu]

not enough time on offering up a credible , alternative vision for people to buy into.

After the last two elections we now know part of the problem is the general public don't really have a clue what is or isn't credible.

EDIT in fact it's just one of those things people say they want to avoid admitting what they really like. Just repeating daft phrases like "brexits oven ready" isn't especially credible. People will keep voting tory because they hate travellers, hate muslims, hate unions, hate teachers, hate nurses (if they dare ask for a payrise), hate anyone on benefits and hate their neighbours. They like the punish everyone party.

Are you suggesting that the police smashing their shields down onto people ISN'T heavy-handed?

They aren't a militia - they are the police. They're supposed to 'police by consent'. They are not an arm of the state machine. Especially as the state moves towards fascism.

You have absolutely nailed it there SS. The public are bombarded with s**t and have lost sight of, through no fault of their own, what really matters. Concerns over education, health and crime have been sidelined and their attention has been diverted to immigrants, wokeism, statues, Brexit and how everything is Labour’s fault (despite only being in power 25 out of the last 75). Classic dead cat tactics.

Bit late to the thread, now I wish I hadn't bothered, Nosmo, whether you rate Lammy or not, whether you misquoted him or not, the police were bloody awful in Bristol and some of them should be in jail.
