Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

The Significance of Jordan Peterson Fri Jan 10, 2025 11:00 | James Alexander

Jump To Comment: 1 2I've watched BB this year and this is the first time that I've heard carole is a political activist. She's in the SWP and there to raise politics but she does not say anything other than give out about food and cleaning and get nominated all the time. Where's her politics? SWP have a very odd attitude towards BB. At time of Galloway they were against, but still defended him and have generally been unclear. This lack of clarity then feeds into decisions SWP activists make such as Carole. She (and I'd say a significant section of the SWP) beleives that youc an go onto BB and make political change. Out of touch. What gets me is not that some SWP member went into the House, but that she was nominated by them as an election candidate!
The former SWP candidate Carole Vincent was today on the show leading a mock protest. Big Brother gave the contentants the task of making a blanket for the mock Global protest and then singing a song called "Give me a Piece of your Peace". They all had to wear white T-shirts and hold plackards as they sung a verse or two. It was all a wind up by Big Brother taking the mick out of them. Carole's enthusiasm for the task was sickening. She loved wearing the white T-shirt (as SWP do at anti-capitalist protests) and singing a stupid song. Carole then went into the Diary room and read out a statement in Greek supposedly to Greece which made her look more like a prat.
When all this antics was happening my thoughts were: This reflects badly on the Socialist Workers' Party. A candidate of theres (someone they were happy to represent working people and their party on a Council) could not see through the bullsh1t of making a giant quilt and singing a seriously de-politicised song about nothing. Is this what passes as politics and anti-capitalist global protest in the eyes of the Socialist Workers' Party.
