Labour voter from Crieff on the Nigel Farage LBC show there, tell ing the nation he has and will continue to vote Tory or whoever has best chance of ousting SNP candidate.

Utter vermin. I'm ashamed that I used to support Labour.

He's as much of a Labour voter as you surely?

He clearly stated that he is a Labour party member and has always voted Labour until 2014. Since then he stated he has voted Tory or whichever candidate was best placed to beat the SNP.

So no, nothing like me, he follows SLAB doctrine and Union at all costs.

He's worse than vermin and fairly indicative of exactly why Scotland/UK is so politically fucked.

His stance is indefensible if he claims to be socialist.

So we have a guy on a Nigel Farage show who claims to be a Labour member and votes Tory?

Sounds legit!

Not quite sure what it has to do with the Labour Party.

If he has voted Tory and will continue to vote Tory then I would call him a Tory voter.  Not that difficult.

Keep your head in the sand all you like but it doesn't change the fact that in Scotland at least, Labour are finished (though I suspect there should be a comeback in the years following independence)

Accept your 'telt' and move on brother.

If you'd bother to read the earlier post, the caller in question self identified as a Labour party member.

 

HTH

You are right mate. The guy that phoned Nigel Farage has ruined socialism.

There is no point in ending austerity.

Actually they don't even agree on any of that champ.  They are appeasing racists in northern England.

I suggest you stop reading the media narrative on Northern England. I'm Islington North born and bred, voted Remain etc. Every region of England voted Leave, but it's ok and not racist for a Tory voting region to, right? Most Leave voters were actually southern and middle class. I lived in the Midlands for 14 years and have lived in the North for 2, it is a far more tolerant place than Tory Warwickshire.

What do you find unbelievable about it? Dugdale recommended it where the Tories had a better chance than Labour of beating the SNP.

A lot of posters on the politics forum have written off the North of England, and their working class communities. It's way too harsh.

I really don't care champ.  Except to point out every area didn't vote leave and you might want to check your facts.

Surely not! Isn't it a breach of membership conditions for a Labour member to advocate voting against the official Labour candidate in any election? :lol::lol::lol:

If the sainted Kez had done such a thing, she would have faced disciplinary action.

If she did do such a thing and wasn't disciplined, you have to assume that Labour (as a party)  would rather see a right-wing Conservative elected than a centre-left SNP representative.
