[kevplumb]

How Kevin Cranney is in charge of anything other than a low budget second hand car lot is beyond me.

Interesting feature in this morning's Sunday Politics was the trend of Momentum in de-selecting Labour Councillors - maybe CAB is on the hit list

Let's hope he has company.

Interesting that no Momentum spokesperson was available to comment on the matter..... it was also mentioned on Sunday Politics, that another Labour member has been suspended for offering up an anti semitic "cartoon"..........

Momentum brings back memories of a previous organisation with a similar outlook that was formed in the 60's..........

It seems to be the norm for some Party's to have have a noisey following of the fundamentalist variety determined to reshape the world in their shared vision. The shiney eyed idealism overrides reality and the cause becomes paramount, religious in it's  fervour.
Party politics, you either grow up and out of it, or suspend rational thought( if capable of it) and become a minion or Messiah. Sad really.

Just read the Mail Facebook page when a 'Political' story gets published. There are two bands of loons who come out and shout at each other. One lot call anyone who votes Tory inherently evil and the other side hit back with  claims the Labour lot are all Stalinist IRA members who support ISIS on alternate weekends. In short two sets of completely blinkered people determined to force their extreme views on everyone else.
I think we are heading the way of the USA where consensus has completely broken down and extremists have found out that you do not need a majority to govern just a big enough minority. You no longer have to take into account anything the other side wants because as long as you pander to your set of loonies  then you can dictate.
Anyone who lives and breathes politics is not normal.  Lord save us from those that want to save us!
