Blair - who people wanted to vote for - is responsible for people not wanting to vote for Corbyn.

Local Labour Councils are shits

http://www.wimbledonguardian.co.uk/...n_/?ref=mr&lp=1

quote:

The Wimbledon Labour Party has claimed it has been threatened with suspension unless members destroy 40,000 leaflets that criticised plans for a new secondary school in south Wimbledon.

The location of Harris Academy Wimbledon, set to be built in Merantun Way on the High Path estate, has been a source of controversy within the Merton Labour group ever since the proposals were announced last year.

Criticisms of the plans include the size of the site, which will have to share playing fields with the nearby Merton Abbey Primary School, and the fact it has led to the forced relocation of the High Path Community Centre, which caters for adults with learning disabilities.

The new free school will be run by the Harris Federation, who already own Harris Academy Merton and Harris Academy Morden.

Although the proposals have been agreed by the Labour-led Merton Council, the Wimbledon Labour Party (WLP) planned to deliver 40,000 leaflets through doors around the borough urging residents to �say no� to the plans.

However, the group have now claimed that they have been told to destroy the leaflets or risk suspension of the WLP, and said they are �being censored by the powers that be�.

An email circulated to members and supporters of the WLP on Friday, March 10, said: �We regret to have to inform members that 40,000 leaflets explaining to parents and residents why the Harris proposals for a new secondary school on the cramped Merantun Way industrial site are unacceptable, will not be delivered door-to-door as planned, and will be binned.

�It would appear that someone, without informing us, contacted the national party asking for the leaflets to be stopped.

�We have received advice from the Party�s governance and legal unit that the leaflets would be in breach of Labour Party rules, with the implicit threat that WLP would be suspended if we went ahead.

"We are astounded to have received this somewhat draconian advice, not least since the leaflet supports national party policy, which is against free schools.

�Contrary to allegations, it does not comment on, let alone criticise, the Labour administration on the council, or any of the Labour councillors who, for their own reasons, support the proposed new school.

�Nevertheless, given the formal advice from the governance and legal unit, the leaflets will not be distributed. They will instead be binned.

perhaps you could break this cycle by putting its key element out to pasture

It would be the same regardless of who was in charge of Labour unless they were willing to capitulate fully to a press that are openly fascist.

Pissflaps is active, must be trying to distract from the fact that Tony Blair was openly praising George Osborne on Marr.

I guess when it comes down to it I just can't understand how you could ever go from the Tories right to Labour or the other way around. I know the general public doesn't really think in terms of right and left but it's anathema to me.

The tories are perceived as more together despite being a complete shithouse with enough failures that they would have been wiped out in 2015 if they had been properly reported on.

But we live in a country where the Indy told it's journalists not to badmouth the decision to put loving George Osborne as editor of the Evening standard so that's never going to happen.

See Tony Blair did it the wrong way around. Martin started out with war crimes as an underdog and then worked his way up to the peace process. Tony started out with the peace process and then went into war crimes.

But instead of paying them any money they're going to get a free sandwich instead.

Friends, I invite you to join me in boycotting this company until they commit to paying a wage to all their staff.

Subway's doing their Apprenticeships to become a loving sandwich maker as well.

Whip the piss out of Subway bosses.
