Readers will note the contradiction of having Amazon books here and the more ethical Housman's books above. I have decided to keep it here and continue to pass the renumeration from them to a good Socialist cause.

for the first and probably last time I agree with your sentiment. good on the greeks for standing up and fighting against the neo liberals.
Let's hope their chosen party doesn't capitulate and become part of the problem (ala Labour party in the uk)
If only more of the scots had the bravery of the greeks and didn't run scared by threats from british establishment stalwarts like your beloved broony.
By the way terry is that not a cracking private jet Mr Blair just got himself. How the other half lives eh?

"If only more of the scots had the bravery of the greeks"
I've heard that some Greeks are so brave that they actually identify themselves when they criticise someone in writing. Something that I never fail to do BTW. Are you the right person to be talking about bravery?.
deflection deflection terry. we have had the conversation about the neanderthals in my village. I wont subject my wife or my house to their scrutiny.
care to answer any questions at all councillor?
1. why applaud the greeks for fighting austerity and condemn the scottish govt plans to do so?
2. what did you think of Tony's new jet?
Answer or don' answert it matters not, I actually feel sorry for you. You are trapped in a prison of your own construction. You have defended the new labour tactics so long you no longer have an option to divorce yourself from them and retain any credibility. Not that you had much to begin with.
My sympathy however is tainted by your moral ineptitude in not condemning what new labour has spawned and finding another vehicle for your flexible principles.
Terry Kelly dodges yet another point on the basis that everyone else is a coward and an idiot.
You are nothing if consistent Terry.
Im an SNP voter, there are things i dont agree with ala. Nato but i can still stack that up against my ideals as a whole and reconcile it. How is it, Terry, that you and Labour seem to agree on EVERYTHING (Independence was the same, Labour party is far older than the Independence issue yet all Labour members seem to miraculously agree).
No doubt you will avoid answering the point yet again.

“Terry Kelly dodges yet another point on the basis that everyone else is a coward and an idiot”
Another lie, I have never described “everyone else” as “a coward and a liar”.
“You are nothing if consistent Terry.”
What does that mean?.
“Nato but i can still stack that up against my ideals as a whole and reconcile it”
I strongly suspect that there are a great many things which you can stack up against your ideals, with ideals like yours that is not difficult.
“Labour members seem to miraculously agree”
So what about all those Labour members whom you lot said were voting yes, Labour for independence etc?, you are an idiot right?.

I regard the story about your village as a lie, you are just a coward.
The snp government want the austerity, it lets them blame the English and cretins like you swallow it.
I don’t know much about aeroplanes’, ‘Tony’s new jet’?. Are you telling me that Tony Blair has bought a jet?.
The rest of your post is boring and repetitive, don’t repeat this drivel again.

This is not peculiar to the Labour Party, have you ever heard of Margo MacDonald?.
In my experience the majority of these resignations are driven by thwarted ambition.
“While I've been attacked for opposing cuts/privatisation and proposing the living wage, as a TUSC councillor going forward, I will fight for these policies and against the proposed four-year austerity budget, on the basis of my trade union and socialist values - not the Tory-lite agenda of New Labour!”
You're right again Terry his ambition was thawarted his ambition to reresent scoialist values within the labour party that is.

Well then, either you know this man very well or he is saying something which suits you, what made you decide that he was genuine?. No one gets thwarted for pursuing socialist values in the Labour Party.

so your counterpart on warrington council is a liar too?
are you the sole purveyor of truth terry? In this murky high powered political landscape is there anyone bar you we can trust?
what about broony the oap frightener can we trust him when he says he will ensure the vow will be upheld and then resigns

"No one gets thwarted for pursuing socialist values in the Labour Party"
That is my experience after 43 years as a member of the party, perhaps your experience is greater.
"so your counterpart on warrington council is a liar too?"
I would never make such an accusation against someone that I don't know, I'm not a nationalist.
I trust Gordon Brown implicitly and I admire him greatly. Is that enough for you?.
You trust and admire Gordon Brown??
If only some of the folk you represent had time or intellect to think about some of the rubbish you write here. I feel sorry for them, they no doubt turn out and vote for you, if they can be bothered, because you say you are labour. You no more represent poor or working folk than does Jim Murphy. Different scales, but you are all in it for your own gain - financial or otherwise. What is a councillors annual renumeration? 17k? For doing SFA.
Henry on 30/01/15
What is the point of writing this idiotic drivel. Have you no arguments to make, what does this achieve?. My council renumeration is the same as all other councillors, we all get the same no matter what party we represent, did you think about that before writing?. I strongly suggest that if you are going to write again that you make an effort to write something that makes some sense. Stop wasting my time.
"In my experience the majority of these resignations are driven by thwarted ambition. "
Yup this guy resigned because he aspired to his socialist ideals. The Labour party are bereft in this dept.
Kyle Smith said...Tuesday, February 03, 2015 4:15:00 pm
I didn't realise you knew the guy, you know him right?, I mean to state this you must know him, right?.
Don't need to know him, quote below.
" I will fight for these policies and against the proposed four-year austerity budget, on the basis of my trade union and socialist values - not the Tory-lite agenda of New Labour!”"
Now Terry are you claiming to know more about this guys opinions than he does himself?
If you bothered to read this article (propaganda you may call it) you would have come across the quotes and the context, instead you didn't, You chose to fill your head with pro-labour musings and decades old rhetoric.
As i say, every day you choose to argue with normal punters is a gift to anyone outside of the Labour party as they get to see just how deluded you are. You may be able to reconcile the glaring holes in your 'beliefs' with the position you hold but at the end of the day it is only you who believes the complete nonsense that comes from your mouth.
You are a credit to anyone running against the Labour Party.

"Don't need to know him"
Exactly. You are what's referred to by the Tory press as 'cannon fodder'.
Kelly is so brave..........he challenges people to name themselves in his lowlife 'blog' where he can police every view (more like an email exchange) whilst keeping well away from Twitter and Facebook blasting his own name over his own stupid insults because he would be in big trouble.
