Labour Leadership Contest

Who do you favour in the Labour leadership election?

  • Total voters
    34
  • Poll closed .
What are you on Mise? Darkies are freakin' EVERYWHERE.

EDIT: And they are stealin' our jobs and wimminz.
 
Mise, I travel on the London Underground and buses from time to
time and it seems to me more like 1 in 6 (rather than 1 in 50) are black.

Even taking into account pehaps a 75% concentration of the black
UK people within London and allowing for London having 1/6 of total UK
population, I notice far more hot black chicks than 2% would account for.

The way I see it, the 2% statistic can only be correct if counting pure
blacks, with no white ancestors i.e. not counting those 3/4 or 7/8 black.

I work for the UK government and know better than to believe my colleagues.
They never noticed that GNP statistics were inflated by fictitious CDO profits.

And the random people on the Internet were right about WMD in Iraq.
 
:lmao: "Ooooh I use PUBLIC TRANSPORT from time to time and there are BLACKS there!!!!!!!"

:lol::lol::lol:

Seriously, is your entire argument that you've "travelled on the London Underground and buses from time to time"? :rotfl: Oh dear lord they're EVERYWHERE!!!!!! Yeah you're a real authority on this, being one of the millions of people who work for the government that you've just told me not to believe :lol:

Oh, and mixed races count for 1.2% of the population (and they're not necessarily part-black either). But hey, lets not let facts get in the way of your pathetic prejudice :lmao:
 
Mise...I think the last line reveals his sarcasm...
 
Well, if it is sarcasm, then I'd feel pretty stupid. I don't feel stupid, therefore it's not sarcasm.


:blush:

I was rounded on for making some passing comment at the general election to two of Dianne's constituents that they had quite a good MP and was brutally savaged. One was mixed English/ Nigerian and the other white-adopted Indian. One was brought up in Dianne's constituency, the other just on the other side of Clissold park. Both are fairly succesfull. Both went to school with me at Haverstock, a few years behind the Milliband brothers. For them her comments about "black boys in inner city comprehensives" were monsterously hypocritical.

If the Milliband brothers and Ona King can get where they've got with exactly the education that arch-lefty Abbot couldnt bare to subject her kids to it cant have been so bad. For all her retoric she went to the same Grammar as Portillo.

Tacitus - Race isnt as much of an issue in the UK as in the states. Abbot has no chance of winning but was urged to stand because of the otherwise all white-male list. TBH all male was far more of a worry, but the the only woman with a snowballs chance in hell is the former deputy leader, now acting leader Harriet Harman. Since she wouldnt win either and standing in the race as acting leader would complicate matters and possibly devide her away from whoever does win and thus the continuation of her front bench career, she isnt going to stand. Abbot is far too bolshy (in both senses) for much as a career on the front bench, high public recognition and lastly doesnt give a monkies what anyone thinks of her - so she's perfect for making up the numbers on the list.

Also bare in mind the Milliband's went to a far, far "blacker" school than Abbot. It's not exactly a class issue, but the Milliband's parents were politicos who had the balls to send thier kids to the local comp while Abbot went - albeit on a scolarship (?) - to a posh Grammar school.

Well, I'm not saying she isn't a hypocrite... after all she criticized parents (Tony Blair IIRC) for sending their children to private school and then went and did the same. There's also no denying that she's said some pretty dubious stuff in the past. I like her more than the other candidates regardless, her skeletons a lot more palatable and on a good number of issues I feel she's right on the ball. Excuse the half-pun.

I thought Blair's kids went to London Oratory? Technically not a private school, but a long way from the local comp.

But year I kind of like Abbot. When she goes off on one she reminds me of my mum, or the mum of one of her constituents I mentioned. An example of an archetype of north london matriarch. I'ld love to argue politics with her over dinner and a couple of bottles of wine, but Im not sure that means I want her to run the country.
 
Interesting tool to check how your views match up with the candidates (except Burnham, who didn't respond to the questionnaire in time):

Diane Abbott followed by Ed Miliband.

As I suspected.
 
A day to go and it's between the Milliband brothers with baby Ed ahead by a nose.

The running going against the funding bias.
 
Apparently I agree with Diane Abbott by 58%. :confused: It's a sad thing the gel believes in keeping the Uk united.
 
not too keen on any of them, burnham definetely comes across as the least pleasant guy, balls annoyed m on election night, but really i want the worst, least electable person to win, i used to think labour would be my second choice party but im starting to realise now, their worse than i thought, im quite happy with the coalition government which i really didnt thin i would

Are you Nick Clegg?!;)

Seriously though, I don't think there's many actually 'happy' withthe coalition. I'm afraid I fall into one of those (going by latest yougov polls) 11% of people who voted Lib Dem who have now deserted the party. I'm probably going to vote Labour next election, or Green.

Heh. From memory I got ~70% Diane, equal ~50% Ed M and Ed B, and ~30% David. I ended up voting Diane, Ed M, Ed B, Andy, David. Diane of course is very unlikely to win, but I'd be very happy with an Ed M win. Even a David win wouldn't be a disaster - he could be a great leader and figurehead, even though I agree much more on policy with the other candidates. Plus that would mean that David wouldn't get the chancellor position, which, following strong hustings performances on the economy, should certainly go to Ed B. Plus it would allow the headline "Balls: deep in the economy".

Coverage on BBC News from 4pm today, BBC 2 from 4.30pm, with the announcement expected at around 4.45pm.
 
Ed Milliband won!
