You do feel like holding your head in your hands when you read such accounts of how long standing Labour Party members, who actually decide to tip up to a local Party meeting, feel they are received.
If an Assistant General Secretary of one of the world's largest trade unions feels he is treated in such a way by his local Party, then imagine how a new member turning up for the first time may feel?
They just had to be of course discussing "Refounding Labour" at the meeting.
