So totally and utterly out of touch its hard to comprehend and led by a pathetic excuse for a leader who cannot even see that he is the problem. His stupidity has LOST Scotland to not only his party but the Union as well by his allowing his London chums to oust the two leaders who engineered the NO vote. 45% of Scotlands voters already support SNP and he just increasd that massively. His party are still mesmerised by the great Blairite politically correct madness and attendant mass social engineering project which is entirely responsible for the terrible mess the rest of this country has currently descended into. As a politician where I live put it Emily may have stepped down but she hasn't gone away you know! AND THAT's THE POINT! PS I'M A HAMMERS SUPPORTER!!

He does to me, I really have no idea what the fuss is about. I used to live on a housing estate of private houses near High Wycombe, which was a cul-de-sac with the house at the entrance occupied by a large family who all looked similar to that, (the wife and mother did have hair on her head though.) It was better than having a police station at the end of the road.

Deleted User	The over riding message arising from what should be a non-event is that in todays modern political world image will always take precedence of substance. OK Emily Thornberry was trying to get a cheap shot at a perceived typical UKIP voter but to have to resign over the issue is ridiculous. I expect she has lost a few thousand more Labour votes to UKIP but compared with the damage her disfunctional leader has done to Labour she is a positive asset.

Deleted User	Heinrich Nov 20 2014, 11:16 PM Who is Emily Thornberry and what did she resign from? Have you ever thought of joining a nice Bavarian forum where you just might have something to say of value about something? anything? Your continued ignorance about all things British (not to be confused with English) is breath taking unless you are in fact the troll I suspect you are. Any way in answer to you banal question she is John Smith's great grandmother, but you don't know who he is either so it probably doesn't assist with your edicational shortcomings!

Prudence and Thrift Posts: 12,499 Group: Members Member #9 Joined: Jun 27, 2014	How things have changed: Emily Thornberry took a picture of White Van Man’s house. Mark Reckless of Ukip suggested that Europeans living and working in the UK might be expelled from the UK. Miss Thornberry lost her job. Mr Reckless won re-election. UKIP are gunning for the C2 white van man or is it "white man in a van", vote and Labour no longer appeal. It could well be that UKIP will be considered to be the party of 1st choice by the C2s at the next GE. If so who does Labour represent? Milli appears not to want to spell out policies so people assume he has none.
