Is This The Best Labour Can Do?

[youngmafbog]

No wonder Corbyn is so popular.

We have a major crisis on our hands and all the right-on liberal academics of labour can do is nit pick on language.

For Gawds sake, get a life you lot.

Definition of swarm in my dictionary.
a great number of things or persons, especially in motion.
Nothing wrong with the description.

Thats like the leftie do-gooders on here... always nit picking the small detail whilst the big picture goes swanning right past them....

>Acting Labour leader Harriet Harman said the Prime Minister appeared to want to whip people up against the migrants.

I get the sense that it's the other way round. The public want to whip the government up to take the problem more seriously.

It's always unwise to use words like this though as it deflects attention away from the issue. People still remember Thatcher's use of the word 'swamped' when talking about the public's fear of being swamped by immigrants. Large numbers would have been a better phrase

[bazwillrun]

yeah...swamped by large numbers...how right she was

[Canary42]

Once again, manipulated facts to suit poisonous propaganda.

This is NOT all Labour can do - it's all that the Daily Mail decides to report on.

For Gawd's sake, get real.

Oh, I didn't realise youngmafbog was a leftie do-gooder.

Canary42, Harriet Harman was just on the radio saying DC was wrong and proving she doesn't understand the word swarm, so she doesn't need the Daily Mail to report it.

Or even that 'Far Right' BBC it would seem.
