Just as the accusations of sexual harassment related to some in the Con party and others.
It was right for the Cons to say little at all until legal advice was given,and the investigation and process of law as to legal rights were near or were completed.

Labour will act and should do so too as to any proven,solidly substantiated wrongdoing on any issue.
So I will wait now,since legal advice has been taken,also any referrals to police or officialdom is completed.
When absolutely full substantiated facts are in place and them legitimately made known.

As for membership, over half a million members is hardly losing members at all.
Of course,as in all Parties,even much smaller Parties,in Labour and Cons,there are people who may be better not in the Parties as Members.

However,where legality is taken as in issues as in sex scandals,expenses scandal,and this issue possibly too.
I will hold my counsel until full investigate processes have actually deemed what are justifiable facts either way before I'll go into the issue.
It sounds bad,however apart from the expenses scandal, few things end up being proven to be as bad as was originally expected.
So I for one unsurprisingly will wait ,while sharing of course dismay at the content IF it were it to be proven fully substantiated,I stress IF.

This will be proven to be as bad as suspected. I saw the list, I was on it for a short period of time (possibly until they realised I was not a Labour party member so it was useless collecting data on me to start with)and I also saw the 'evidence files'. The 'evidence file' on me was pathetic, but it was still there. Not sure if I should report it as harassment to the police as that seems a bit..much. I kind of just laughed it off as a bunch of nutters being stupid, I didn't realise that I could actually report it to the police and since looking into it all I do see they have definitely broken the data protection act, and this has actually been led by a Labour Womens Officer..I made a thread on 'her' a while back. Wish Labour had been sensible at the time and stopped a 19 year old boy from applying for the position in the first place..given it stated in the rules that the womens officer must be a woman. Could have avoided all of this rubbish. The only thing he has done for women since gaining the post, is try to get women kicked out of the party!
