Indeed - democracy Len style
He's plenty of time on his hands to protest about whatever he likes now hasn't he.
Standing in opposition to Mclusky was a protest in itself and he's been removed from his position because of it.
Yes, let's let McLusky take us back to the 'good old days' of Red Robbo and his communist mates. That'll do wonders for the country, just as it did in the '70s. Having lived and worked in the USSR in the '80s and early '90s, I've seen enough of the Marxism/Leninism doctrine, thank you very much.Dear old Len McClusky is on about mobilising the workforce in a series of strikes to bring down the Government. Dear old Len - lets ignore the ballot box and try to weaken the economy for political ideology no one wants.

So what do you think is the benefit of nationalising the energy companies?

Trying to suggest that McDonnell is whipping up a frenzy on the back of a tragedy is ridiculous. There are valid questions that need answering - would you feel the same if it was someone in your family that died?
If you want to discuss agitation generally then lets just put up a compendium of Daily Mail front pages.
Grenfell fire was just before midnight 14th Jun, on 15th McDonnell called for marches. He is a nasty piece of work.

is that why he was removed? You're wrong again mate.
I'm in unite, some of the e-mails I received from coyne amounted to slander. He's lucky he didn't end up in court.
I'm not McCluskeys biggest fan but the mails were wrong, simple as that.
I've never been to the States during a presidential election, but I've been there during other elections, (local or whatever they're called). People pay for adverts on the telly which don't put forward their ideas or policies, they just do a hatchet job on their opposition. Is that the way we want to go in this country because that's the road Coyne was going down.
Au contraire, he opportunistically and shamelessly used a tragedy to promote civil unrest.Thanks for proving it has fuck all to do with Grenfell
No he didn't - he made his comments in relation to May not be able to put together any semblence of a government to rule... and 2 weeks later she's not any further along.Au contraire, he opportunistically and shamelessly used a tragedy to promote civil unrest.
Then of course we have 90+% of your beloved government blocking a motion to make private rented accomodation fit for human habitation.
Camden council, Labour since 1971, could you assess their performance with relation to building safety as they start panic evacuation of 1000's of residents.
From the information currently available seems to be a different situation.Camden council, Labour since 1971, could you assess their performance with relation to building safety as they start panic evacuation of 1000's of residents.
The evacuation was carried out on the advice of the fire service.This evacuation is as much about insurance claims as actual realistic safety issues. It would be cheaper and practically risk free to install temporary fire alarms on all floors and pay fire wardens for 6 weeks or so to patrol the buildings 24/7 while doing necessary remedial works and let the residents stay in their homes. The disruption of moving out & back is likely to have its own negative consequences. Many of the residents themselves are unhappy about this, they don't feel they're being looked after and are simply pawns in a game of various parties making sure they absolve themselves of all blame and liability.
The fire brigade won't even allow residents in to collect possessions without an escort.Georgia Gould said:“But I said to fire services, is there anything I can do to make this block safe tonight? I offered to pay for fire services to be stationed outside those blocks just so we could have a couple of days to get the works done, but the message was [that there was] nothing to do to make blocks safe that night.”

Personally, no matter how inconvenient, I'd want to be moved out immediately if a problem came to light. Imagine if the council ignored the report from specialists and the recommendations of the fire brigade and there was a fire.
Bit of a odd comparison that isn't it? How many of those road fatalities were self inflicted driver errors (going too fast, avoiding police, under the influence, on phones, not concentrating , poor decision making etc.)There were 1,827 road fatalities in 2013, in the same year there were 350 deaths attributed to fire, 266 of which in dwellings. Lets stop all car journeys then shall we.
There were also 381 deaths due to drowning so swimming is out too.
If 100 people died because of a fault with a particular car and it was found that another car had the same problem would you happily ignore the experts or expect something to be done?There were 1,827 road fatalities in 2013, in the same year there were 350 deaths attributed to fire, 266 of which in dwellings. Lets stop all car journeys then shall we.
There were also 381 deaths due to drowning so swimming is out of the question too.
How many of those deaths were due to failure of manufactured items?There were 1,827 road fatalities in 2013, in the same year there were 350 deaths attributed to fire, 266 of which in dwellings. Lets stop all car journeys then shall we.

You are really all over the place with this one aren't you. Everything you've put up has been refuted and you keep moving the goalposts. just accept you're wrong on this one and move on.There were 1,827 road fatalities in 2013, in the same year there were 350 deaths attributed to fire, 266 of which in dwellings.

You really don't understand do you, I never said there wasn't a problem that needs resolving, but I do say there has been an over reaction and the current measures are panic stricken.You are really all over the place with this one aren't you. Everything you've put up has been refuted and you keep moving the goalposts. just accept you're wrong on this one and move on.
How is Camden Council not being supplied with the standard of cladding they commissioned and paid for the same as Kensington Council choosing a cheaper option and ignoring repeated warnings?
Because private landlords are well known for being responsible and being concerned about the safety of their tenants.The Government will not force private landlords of high-rise buildings to fire-test them, even if they are fitted with similar cladding to Grenfell Tower, Downing Street has said.
Instead, No 10. said it “expected” private landlords to voluntarily use the testing facility that is being used by council or housing association blocks.
It added that the government expects private landlords to be "responsible" and councils to relay what is expected of them.
I get it. What you're saying is that your knowledge is superior to that of the experts carrying out the tests and the fire service. They've both said the blocks should be evacuated immediately but obviously you know better.Remedial works can reasonably be done in a more measured manner without disturbing people so badly. All it needs is a few temporary measures to ensure that in the unlikely event of a fire it is tackled quickly & effectively. The risk levels of staying put are not abnormally high, moving out and being forced to stay in a crowded unsanitary sports centre or the like is probably quite risky in itself.

And the better option is to leave them in there? What if it goes up in flames?Many of the residents agree with my analysis...
Locals confused and angry over tower evacuations in Camden - BBC News
they are far from happy with this upheaval.
McDonnell is a spiteful wanker,Back to being a protest party and Corbyn at Glastonbury peddling his nonsense.
Didn't see any of them supporting armed forces day!!
Just wondered where in the world a socialist government has been successful and good for the people?

You didn't answer the question,Even in their current plight they'd still beat the commies!!do you think the current tory government is successful?

Wasn't that 70 years ago? think the world has changed since then but here's a few clues.Given it was a socialist government that gave us the NHS, and the welfare state (national insurance etc to pay for it), you don't have to look far for a successful government, good for the people...
