"...but you have neglected to say anything at all about the main reason for my posting, and that's Rosie Duffield resigning the Labour whip - I would have been interested to hear what others thought about this. "

-I'd commented on this in an earlier post. To give you some degree of the calibre of what's left in Labour one of her fellow Labour MPs Nadia Whittome: a member of Labours "Socialist Campaign Group"...I kid you not, stated that Duffield: "...should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. Labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago... "

And her crime?

"...Rosie Duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society."

Well that sounds quite damning...was it Poor people? The Disabled ? The Unemployed? The Mentaly ill? The Homeless? Gypsies and Travellers? State pensioners with two bar heaters in damp council houses?

No...It was for pointing out that men who chose to masquerade in wigs and frocks aren't actually women.

-That's how totally broken the Labour party is: it's irredeemable.
