Over 60

My sis wanted to have a discussion of the Labour party leadership contest the other day and I shut it down by saying all the contestants were rubbish and the Labour Party was rubbish. Ailz told me off afterwards.  "You're very intolerant," she said, "Perhaps it comes of being over 60."

Well, perhaps it does...

Let me assure you, you don't have to be over 60 to consider all the Labour leadership candidates to be rubbish.

That's reassuring...:)

I obviously didn't feel shut down, as I kept on discussing it. I think I got you talking about it too....
Someone mentioned that the candidates for deputy leader are more promising...

Oh good. I'm glad you didn't feel squashed. :)

My feeling is the Labour party is no longer fit for purpose- and we need a new party of the left.
