All The Best: The Peckham Terminator by Novara Media published on 2018-01-23T19:12:31Z Matt Zarb-Cousin and Max Shanly welcome Tony Blair’s former director of political operations John McTernan to All The Best, to discuss their competing world views in a comradely fashion. http://novaramedia.com/?p=8920 Genre News & Politics Comment by miniroadrunner So pedantic, "the truth", his is the F*****g truth 2018-02-15T15:17:36Z Comment by miniroadrunner It made my blood boilwhen he said, NHS workers are not saints when mentioning the Trusts where it was demonstrated that it was systematic organisational lack of support for workers and whistle blowers that cause the disgrace, highlighted and pressured by the widely imposed cuts in staff and resources 2018-02-15T15:11:46Z Comment by Anthony Matthews If government can't procure services then it has to be bad at providing them too? We'll leave McTernan's disingenous statement to one side for the moment to ask whether he has read the back of his Labour Party membership card recently, you know, the bit that says we're a democratic socialist party? 2018-02-05T12:56:32Z Comment by Historiansplaining This marks about the 4,000th time that a centrist Labourite or Democrat has cynically used gays and lesbians as a prop to distract from their own failures and the declining middle-class standard of living. Gays and lesbians have made enormous progress in social acceptance because they organized and fought, including against the mainstream of all major parties. Alliances with the working class have been crucial -- for example, in 1986, the Labour Party put gay and lesbian rights into its platform at the insistence of the National Union of Mine Workers, who were strong supporters of the gay rights movement after LGSM *Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners) raised money to support striking miners in Wales. So basically, gays and lesbians should NEVER be used to push a notion that life is somehow naturally getting better because of the market, or whatever this guy is trying to argue -- life gets better because people organize and fight for their interests. 2018-01-29T01:38:59Z Comment by Heritor my god 2018-01-26T10:18:42Z Comment by joeyOG Well done for putting up with his patronising, holier than thou BS. JM doesn't half think he's running rings round everyone but is as bad as Alistair Campbell at presenting a half arsed argument as solid. Would have been good to have challenge him on his behaviour when appearing on broadcast platforms and reminded him about Scotland but I suppose you were aiming to see what you could get out of him re centrist policy 2018-01-26T10:06:45Z Comment by Hugh Schlesinger this is infuriatingly idiotic pedantry 2018-01-25T18:38:00Z Comment by Tomer Krail Eh it's a bit of both, Ed ws sabotaged but he was also a pretty shit leader. 2018-01-24T17:01:24Z Comment by Franny Cushion enjoyed it guys ,well done 2018-01-24T11:28:30Z
