HAVE ALISTAIR AND BLAIR LOST THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE FOR CONSORTING WITH THOSE WHO DON'T SHARE LABOUR VALUES?

OR, MAYBE THEY DO SHARE LABOUR VALUES...?

At the Tory Party Conference Fringe, these two look at home together...

We'll keep the blue flag flying here.

As people, from the well known Jeremy Hardy and Mark Steel, to folk with no public profile, but with years of support of the Labour  Party (including making donations and canvassing for them), are denied a vote in the leadership election because they "don't share Labour's values", some, allegedly, for as little retweeting a comment from someone in another party, I was wondering if talking at Conservative Party Conferences would debar the likes of D and McD  from casting their votes.

As it goes, I wonder what these values that some of their supporters don't share, actually are.

Anyone got any idea what Labour actually stands for? 

And, would Keir Hardie get a vote in the current leadership contest?

MUNGUIN'S MIDWEEK MÉLANGE

Sarah Champion. Generous to a fault for our brave boys... She put her wreath on expenses.

Big occasions are glittering and star studded with the so-called great and the so called good.
No-one sees when you give a homeless soldier a few quid to help him out.

That's about how we see it.

We remember. It started just one day after the referendum.

Great speaker, friendly, sincere and  intelligent.
Good luck Chris.

Yeah yeah, whatever Ed.

Bye Danny

Nicola in our local food bank.

What is the sense of science that can put a man on the moon, yet is incapable
of putting a bit of bread on the table of every human being?

I wonder if this one was produced in England too...

Busy, busy, busy....

Just in case you thought that Rachel Reevese represented nasty, right-wing
Islington Labour, Johnny boy confirms that the unemployed
 are bugger all to do with Labour.

I'd not go in that place with my wallet in my back pocket
unless I could get a padlock for it and an AK49.

And today it was confirmed that there will be no change in the government of Israel.

So we can expect to see more of this kind of thing. We are sure that there are atrocities on both sides. (In which wars are there not?) But it seems to us that our media is reluctant to report anything from the Palestinian point of view. So here's a little balancing. There are any number of pictures of similar barbarity on the net.

So, now you know.

If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an accord with Israel. It's natural, we took their country. It's true that God promised it to us, but in what way does that concern them? Our God isn't theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing. We came and we stole their country. Why should they accept that?
(David Ben Gurion. The first prime minister of Israel, quoted by Nahum Goldmann in The Jewish Paradox.)

SNAPS ON SATURDAY

That's why they like to charge for education then?

And no one seems to give a damn.
I wonder why that would be.

Gideon being flattered by someone who wants a seat in the lords?

Hmmmm. Yep, I think I can see that.
No, wait, I can't.

No. It means that he's rich and he either knows the right people,
or possibly where the bodies are buried.

But don't wait for the Daily Mail to tell you this.

Erm, because they weren't ideologically opposed to them?

 Popat seems like a real tight wad.

Bless her. She should probably retire.
She seems not to know what she's doing.

...and I still have it to this day!
We knew how to look after our stuff, and of course,
sticks were better made in my day!

The bosses go to London.

And Jim is telling them that he could play on the right wing

Mrs Thatcher in the forefront and her lackey by her side 

Ed: I said go find us a door to stand in front of with TEN on it, cloth ears

That's because Cameron is a monster.

If only we cared about living as much as we cared about killing

Yes, but the 99% were only little people who didn't matter.
The 1% were our types from Eton and Oxford.

Well, you see...
If you abstain no one can accuse you of having taken sides.
So you keep in with everyone...
and the wages and expenses still keep coming in.
So why bother?

We know you work for Jim the Tory, but the idea is that
you are supposed to keep it a bit quiet.

You can laugh (well, I hope you do).
But (apart from Dean), do you know how to say it in Cantonese?

DAVID CAMERON WILL TAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE NO CAMPAIGN

Things have come to a desperate pass for the blethering Ukok nobs.

According to the Sun yesterday (page 2), David Cameron is planning to take on a much more active part in the No campaign. Having initially said that he would fight with every fibre of his being to keep Scotland's money in the union... no sorry, he actually said keep Scotland in the union, but we all know what he meant, he has been advised to keep a low profile, and let Labour do the spade work while the Tories pay for it.

Well, it seems that that isn't working too well. 

Alistair Darling has been spectacularly unspectacular. He was always a strange choice, given his close resemblance to a London Tory, and his ability to make even something exciting sound dismally dull. Also, given his deep hatred for another of their "big hitters", Gordon Brown, and his dismal record as chancellor, his reputation for "flipping" and his propensity to travel around charging vast amounts for public speaking, he might have been better hiding in a cupboard.

Michael Moore was soundly beaten by Nicola Sturgeon in debate and was then replaced by the Beast, Alistair Carmichael, a reputed King Kong who was going to marmalise the DFM. Well, we all know how that turned out and little has been seen of him since.

Gordon Brown was hauled out to head an organisation that didn't exist, then transferred to BT to give us a lecture on pensions in Scotland (which coincided, unfortunately for him, in the release of dire predictions for UK pension). When everyone stopped laughing at their ineptitude ... Gordon was the man who wrecked UK pension funds... he was forgotten.

Then they were going to get out the big guns from the Lords... and Robertson made an amazing speech prophesying the end of the world order if wee Scotland got independence. When everyone stopped laughing at that he was shuffled back to the institution that is the House of Lords. The other big nobles have yet to be heard... McConnell, Reid, Liddle and ffoulkes.

Then they thought to get a Labour bruiser out... One Mr Roy, whose arrival to reinvigorate the No campaign was  supposedly getting an ordinary person, not an Edinburgh lawyer type, or a belted Earl type, to speak to ordinary people... blether even. 

Unfortunately on the same day 'No Blair' made an unfortunate remark about bigotry against gay people in the yes campaign (Brian Soutar, a known homophone, and multi millionaire Scottish businessman donated a large sum of money to YES)... which served to highlight the fact that the aforementioned Mr Roy (the no campaign saviour) had voted, in England, against the Labour party whip, against the introduction of equal marriage rights in that country.... a country where he had no constituency, on a matter which had no financial implications for Scotland.

So... having exhausted everyone else, they have to get the big cheese out.

We can therefore look forward to Mr Cameron popping up to Scotland on a regular basis to tell us that  we are better together in...as he put it, "the sceptred isle, this England..."

Good luck with that, Dave.
