Facebook Ranting So Far

I started two threads on Facebook and had this to say:

John Scott Just checked on Twitter and there is absolutely nothing I posted in January 2015 about the greens / lib dems

Andy Allsopp You quoted Winston Churchill... You're clearly a raving tory. Always thought it about you, tbh.

Karin Lodge This is incredible! I think with the attitude of this party you would not have been happy to be a member anyway. Seems these guys are stuck on lifelong loyalty to Labour. Wonder, how they will gain new members or voters with being so tunnel viewed. Besides: A lot of "not" scentences in the letter, a big no-no in communication.

Steve Hillier Don't worry about it John, you said it yourself: they're not going to change anything. 

Corbyn will be re-elected, Labour will start to split, lose the predicted 90 seats, then completely split around 2021 if Corbyn is still in situ....See more

Matt Ferguson Unbelievable. So unless you're a rabid lefty and always have been, you're not welcome? Do we have the same view of swing voters? I am concerned.

Steve Hillier "Do we have the same view of swing voters?" Yes, obviously. I thought that was the whole point of St Jeremy, sod the soft Tories, lets bolster Labour heartland. Except where we've lost them to SNP and UKIP obviously, fuck them.

John Scott Thing is if Ian Nicol came to my house and begged me to join I'd slam the door in his face. Yes I support corbyn but not the hopeless self serving party he leads. He never had a chance trying to get this lot to behave with integrity. I've slept on it and I'm still angry. Every ounce of power I have will be used now to remove all these parasites from my life no matter what they say their favorite colour is.

David Brinn What worries me most ( and I can't see you being an abusive person ) is that this implies that you or anyone is not allowed to have views which ever differ from theirs. It's tribal politics at its worse. It implies you must only ever have support their...See more

Julian Bond Stay angry. Make noise. This is just another fault line opening up in the slow motion earthquake of UK politics. There's something happening here, but where it ends up ain't exactly clear. But you can be sure the encumbents will fight dirty to keep what they think they have. The run up to the 2020 elections is going to be interesting to watch. Just try not to be collateral damage.

and also added some thoughts to my original threads


I was with the Liberal Democrats from the age of 15 in the 80s until some time after 2010. I see Jeremy Corbyn bringing genuine choice back to politics, and believe passionately that only remaining in EEC with Freedom of Movement and Workers Rights protections in place is the only sane way to navigate Brexit and believe the Labour party can make this happen and want to give my support. So impressed by Jeremy Corbyn and hope joining now I can support him and his team especially Tom Watson whom I have admired for years.

John Scott Sorry to say Kieran, Dick, Mark, Mike, Wes, Tee Jay, Steve that I am furious that my application has been rejected, apparently because I said I used to be a member of the lib dems and I once suggested people should consider joining the greens. I am raging with anger. I think this is it for me and representational politics. The system is causing me so much pain right now for no reason other than pandering to people's prejudice. I've attached the reply I sent them and the one they sent me. I'm incensed that they suggest this should happen in any atmosphere of respect whilst being utterly disrespectful. I very much hope they return my money as a matter of urgency. It was very hard to find that money.

Wes White Ludicrous. I've been a Green member and a Lib Dem member too - clearly they missed that. I don't blame you being outraged, John - parts of the Labour party seem to be determined to shoot their own feet off. Two years before you can reapply?! It's a nonsense. I'm sorry to see it.

John Scott no they're idiots, so dissapointed by Sadiq Khan comments, they're so blatently in this for their own interests and what they say are so many blatant lies, they have clearly shown they don't care in the slightest for the views of the membership if they're inconvenient to their ability to get a few nice little earners

Steve Hillier Maybe it's a blessing in disguise John? The Labour Party was in trouble when Miliband became leader on a technicality, but has been utterly fucked since Corbyn took over. 

Time for a new party maybe? This one is over.

Steve Hillier I don't know them. Does St Jeremy approve? I know he just ruled out any kind of coalition between progressive parties. The arrogant loser.
