    Even the still active Labour people (including an assistant to an MP) were basically like, ‘yeah, that’s depressingly true but what else are we gonna do’ (faux, there is no alternative self-pitying bullshit naturally) instead of even trying to fight the point or do the party line.

    I want to see their posts from the time around the Corbyn purge.

      Supporters were mostly oblivious, ‘Keir seems like a man of his word’ types who reacted like I was telling them Santa Claus was a member of the Bilderberg Group when I would mention his craven, shady, intelligence-linked wrecker career before joining the Corbyn leadership.

      The two active career Labour guys (including the assistant) weren’t full frothingfash Corbyn is a terrorist, but we’re definitely ‘the public agrees he’s too divisive and radical’ type wreckers who consistently put the boot in but stopped short of the more extreme stuff in case it the party takeover didn’t work out. Ghouls-lite basically.

      They are extremely full of shit and while I’ve gotten into it with a bit in the past, I was happy to just turn the screw a little bit and bask in their misery for once while grinning into my pint.
