Winners and Losers ~ Friday July 1, 2011

Posted 1 Jul 2011 by Walaa Idris

Mrs Jennie Bone the wife of Tory MP Peter Bone is a winner. She is fast becoming an iconic figure – generating light humour and laughs while sending a robust and earnest message – it’s a clever and witty way to put questions to the Prime Minster – who now seems to equally enjoy part taking in the act – uniquely apt and delightful.

We love you Mrs Bone!

Did not need to look hard or long for a loser because there can only be one loser after last night’s Question Time. On the day the left tried to hold the country and its economy hostage the BBC QT panel in Birmingham, had three ardent lefties – Polly Toynbee, John Denham MP and Christine Blower and only Philip Hammond on the right come on BBC!!

Every time I say maybe …. just maybe – they prove me wrong!

Walaa, you said, “The BBC QT panel in Birmingham, had three ardent lefties – Polly Toynbee, John Denham MP and Christine Blower”..Good lord, now I know you have lost the plot..

1) Polly Toynbee up until just after the Tony Blair became elected leader was a paid up member of the LibDems. Some say she never really left, but that’s another debate. She is a liberal in the widest (and not always honourable) sense of the word

2)John Denham was a member of the SDP..(pst; so was Polly btw)remember them? They were the bunch who left the LP because it was too left-wing…since then he has been in govt under both Blair and Brown (under the former he had the good grace to resign over the Iraq war..so if your calling him left-wing for having political principles..well it does seem a bizarre thing to berate him for).

3)Christine Blower is the only one who could be described as “left-wing” and even on that..you seem to beleive that she can willfully ignore her NEC and impose her political will on the NUT.

4)Lest we all forget..you also said “ On the day the left tried to hold the country and its economy hostage” It was a legal ballot and legitimate industrial action..not holding the country to ransome..but funny to note how you never say that about the bankers who regulary threaten to pull the plug on the economy if any politician even looks at their loot…

Also as I have pointed out, given that the ATL have not called a ballot, let alone gone on strike in nearly 100 years..all of a sudden this makes them “left-wing”?

Your definition of “left-wing” seems to be anyone not with a Tory party membership card..
