Pat Mason, leader of the Labour Group said that it was 'simply incorrect' Mr Henderson had been given a warning for working with the Tories.

Could Pat Mason be telling lies though?
Surely not.

Amazing, from the same article Wilts could have used
"A Labour source told the radio station’s website that the spat risks making the party look like ‘sectarian idiots completely out of touch with the national mood’ and branded the incident ‘completely bonkers’.

A Labour councillor lying? Wash your mouth out!
-
And here's the reaction.
Yes, of course Pat Mason COULD be lying. But do you have any evidence that he is? Or does regularly.
This is the problem of today's politics in a nutshell. If you go in assuming everyone is lying, you do not differentiate between those who really do and the rest.
For the record, my take is that if this councillor HAS been disciplined for working with the Tories on this, that is boneheadedly stupid, for a number of reasons, including morally and in terms of the political optics. If Mason has lied on the matter to the media, he should be removed from his position.
-
So BST you have a situation where one Labour councillor is lying, but which one
-
Ldr.
You've lost me (I'm skim reading this while making tea). Who is the other councillor?
-
I have a suspicion that this thread will be very quiet.
I wonder why.
-
Ldr.

Ian Henderson, labour councillor who says he has been officially warned for working with the tories on the food bank or Pat Mason the labour council leader who says he hasn't
-
Right. Thanks. I hadn't seen that he'd made that claim.
Then yes, one of them is.
-
And if it can be established which one is lying, they should be booted out if the party. No time for people f**king about on an issue as serious as this.
-
Am I reading this wrong, but isn't it that he's not been warned for working with the Tories on the food deliveries per se, but for appearing in the Tory propaganda video?
-
That’s how I read it..
It seems a bit OTT to discipline him for that, especially in the current climate.
If this was done in the middle of an election campaign, and on an issue critical to the public well being, then that would be a different matter altogether...

The discussion isn’t about that though.
It is about is Mason telling lies.

Or Henderson Hound, let's be balanced

Do we have a quote from Henderson saying what he claims he was disciplined for?

Of course, Sydney will be getting out of his bed soon so yes, let’s get it right eh.

As Glyn said, more about the video. Seems pretty

You posted it (without comment). Shouldn't it be you to set down the evidence as to what the truth is. At the moment all we have is second hand LBC or a London newspaper comment?
And why are the Tory Party running a food bank in Kensington? They don't in the rest of the country.
Why won't they support the Trussel Trust running one?

No, the facts are there, you choose to ignore what's there, I cant say I'm shocked. At least BST is fairly balanced you are totally indoctrinated

Wilts, the matter has been passed to the gaffer.
Starmer has said he will get to the bottom of it.
Strange thing is though, if it had been a Tory in the same situation as Mason then I feel certain that this forum wouldn’t be debasing the newspaper which wrote about it.

Labour councillor is disciplined after appearing in Tory campaign ad video - would appear to be the only actual 'fact'.
But don't let that stop you.

Hound, I have a feeling that if it we a Tory in the same situation several posters in this thread would be noticeable by their abscence

The discussion isn’t about that though.
It is about is Mason telling lies.
If it is all about the video and not him helping with the food distribution itself, don't you think the original reportage is distorting the matter?
PS I thought the discussion was about the OP, not what you decide it to be.

Hey hound you've already been disciplined by bst to which you've neither explained nor apologised :)

I think we could have saved a lot of angst here with a bit of application of logic.
It appears that Henderson says he has been disciplined for appearing in a video which is being used for party politiical purposes by the Tory party.
Mason said, apparently on LBC, that it was incorrect to say that Henderson had been disciplined for helping out with Tories at a Foodbank. I haven't seen or heard the interview with Mason, but that quote seems to indicate that he was accused of disciplining Henderson for helping out at the foodbank.
Just a thought lads. Maybe NEITHER Henderson nor Mason are lying.
Now, I don't know whether that is the case, but the policy I try to stick to is to look very, very carefully at evidence before rushing to judgement. I don't always stick to that, I'll admit, and I try to reflect and accept that I've got something wrong if it turns out that I have.
Do those of you who have been whooping about finding a (very minor) Labour liar and a (superficially) disgraceful disciplinary action think there's a chance you might have got it wrong here?
-
You still haven't defended some of Corbyn's lies yet.

Sydney, what are you on about and where have I been disciplined by BST?
Actually, you may be surprised to know that he and I had a very nice and respectable exchange of personal messages just a few days ago.
-
Initiated by you no doubt to save your emabarrassment :)
-
Assumption on your part not supported in any way.
-
You see bst is bigger than you, most people forgive whereas if someone disagrees with you, you chase them around the forum like a dachsund yapping at their heels :)

BST is probably your God.
-
Proved my point thanks
-
Proved nothing at all.
Also, your last couple of posts are obviously to deflect attention from the question I asked you, which is, where have I been disciplined by BST?
-
thanks bb

thanks bb

So you can’t answer the question then Syderney.
I usually quite like dumplings.

Got to have the last yap aye :)

Yes you do usually try for it.

Can we draw a line under this one then?
