So he was going to have a floating stage and somehow that's been turned into him walking on water....

What do you think the floating stage was supposed to indicate then? lol

Not really, pretty obvious it was a Jesus allegory, why else would you give a guy called JC a floating stage?

I'm less than convinced. There may be a few nutjobs out there who see him as some sort of cultish figure but you're talking about organisers of a conference who are very unlikely to have that sort of view of him. 

Couldn't it just be that having huge crowds on a beach with a floating stage would look pretty cool? I don't see how somebody walking around on a stage would be any kind of approximation to somebody walking on water.

Doesn't Politics really depress you at the minute. On the one hand Tories could do so much more for man on the street & public services, whilst on the other hand Labour would bankrupt the country, re-nationalisation really??? In the middle of it all we've got Brexit & no one has a clue what's going on or what the future looks like. If there was an election tomorrow I genuinely think I'd not vote

Paul Johnson, the head of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the great referee of truth in a fake-fact world, warned a Resolution Foundation meeting here at Labour’s conference that everyone was underestimating the situation’s severity. Labour says living standards haven’t fallen so far since Napoleonic times; Johnson says not since the 1750s, with productivity the worst ever recorded. We are, he says, in frighteningly uncharted territory. He adds the Office for Budget Responsibility’s warning that Brexit will worsen public finances: making trade more expensive “is guaranteed to reduce living standards further”.

Would be interesting to know if the die hard Tories on here agreed with anything coming out of the Labour conference and vice versa when the Tory show kicks off next week if those to the left find anything to agree with

All I'm hearing this morning is accusations of nasty antisemetic, quite disturbing.

Mr Cryer, Labour MP for Leyton and Wanstead, described a "seeping poison" and warned that future generations might not realise that when it came to Nazism, "we were right and they were wrong".

As chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, he sits on the disputes panel of the National Executive Committee, which rules on what members have "said, written or tweeted", he told the audience.

"I have seen some of the tweets from paid up Labour Party members and I am not kidding you, it makes your hair stand up," he said.

Some Labour members dismiss reports of anti-Semitism as a myth, he said.

"But you don't have to look very far before you see it's not a myth...and there's no place in the Labour Party for stuff like that."

When people at party events can openly talk about expelling Jewish groups you know it has a serious problem. 

 

I don't think Labour can rid themselves of this anymore, looks like it's embedded in the party now.

 The real The Real Nasty Party!

I saw clips of the conference on the news last night, that momentum lot look a right nasty loony bunch. For some reason momentum are kind of acceptable but to me they are as bad a Britain First, they are really horrid scum.

 

This crazy bunch of far left lunatics are the biggest threat this country has ever seen, my fear is that reasonable people are really falling for their shit. Brexit is nothing compared to the economic misery these nasty incompetent socialist idiots wil lcause if we ever have the misfortune of them being in power. Their debt binge knows no bounds, they will kill business and crash the financial sector with their attitude of 'if we don't like you we will nationalise you, at whatever price we want to pay'. Incompetent Jokers!

Also got a cheer for saying they should debate the historicity of the Holocaust and told people at their 'Free Speech on Israel' event not to record or tweet, I wonder why? :unsure:

Guido has recorded the whole thing apparantly, looking forward to seeing it.
