Jeremy Corbyn

you're a berk

or is it just based on envy - the Branson bashers seem to fall in to the latter camp.

The Branson bashers ? That'll be yunki, he's terribly envious.

I would never bash Branson - despite a multitude of failed businesses he has never been put off making millions for his own person gain, with of course the indispensable help of hugely compliant governments. You have to truly admire that.

Though I did think it was important to reiterate just5minutes's 'hilarious' point concerning how fabulously wealthy Jeremy Corbyn is.

It was such a good point, and it was so well made 🙂

When you think about it it's hard to figure out Corbyn's appeal.

Christ this is nonsense.

your facile argument would carry more weight if we were discussing one of world's less benevolent billionaires

Ah, so, [b]some[/b] billionaires are OK now then?

How about that greedy ****er Bill Gates, is he allowed to be a self made billionaire as well?

[b]stop[/b] allowing people to collect money for fun, [b]stop[/b] rewarding their achievments with obscene amounts of money

This is one of the major elecforal / policies issues for the (harder) left. It's about [b]STOPPING[/b] things, its not about empowerment or opportunity or growth. It's a vindictive policy stance but taking things away from others. We live in an interconnecred world you can't possibly stop people making moneynas we only control legislation in our country and if you tried such a thing with 100% certainty innovators would just base themselves elsewhere and sell into thd UK as an export market.

Traitors scof and cowards leer

If Labour want to win they have to embrace success. The rank and fike are very far away from that at the moment

Is that supposed to be a Jewish reference Yunki?

have to embrace success.

Ernie, I thought you were against people posting stuff that might harm Labour's chances and you then post that photo

You thought that photo of him coming out house was bad have a look at this one :

It's a bit hard to be lectured about fairness and equality from someone with a £1,500,000+ pension pot funded by the taxpayer.

Logically how is his argument harmed by him being an MP?

Its really not his fault MPs are so well paid. It has no impact on his argument or whether fairness is a good idea- hence why yet again the messenger was hot and not the message 🙄 - and he did not make the rules.[quote=Lifer ]Christ this is nonsense.

Aye its become an increasingly tiresome right wing circle jerk - it like having a twitter feed for RW BS/tenuous trolling

well done to the folk who create wealth, but that job is not in any way more worthy than any other job

Except of course, it's that "job" which creates all the others.

@ernie

I suppose that's a tad more convincing than stills from "Life Of Brian", is it?

Aye its become an increasingly tiresome right wing circle jerk

Eh? I'm a former Labour voter - why is my opinion worth less than yours?

Well nin, you're a class traitor, clearly. Off to the Gulag with you.

Was that really meant to persuade me it was a good quality "debate" 😯

Whilst i was mighty tempted to address your straw man it dawned on me that no case at all could be made for you being anything other than a left of centre floating voter.
Thanks god you are not one of the RW frothers who will post lies for a reaction or like whoppit post pathetic "gulag" gags - i say gags that is not to suggest they are funny

Neither Post has made me reconsider my evaluation of the paucity of debate on here

Its basically RW folk typing lies and doing petty insults - worse they are not even flirting with funny or informative.

String of "left wing" opinions - political discussion.

Multiple "right wing" opinions - "circle jerk".

Oh, I see.

this branson topic has got the
residents in a
spin
unsure whether to
tug
forelock or
foreskin

Oh, I see.

Remember folks - "right wing" 🙂

Note how Corbyn is tacking towards the centre ground, the traitorous bastard

yes obviously the valid conclusion from that graph of him at the far left. certainly that evaluation has made me realise how great the analysis on this tread is.

SO lets get this is he a trot marxist nationaliser who wants to be a friend of the terrorist hate women and become centrist

PS i assume your graph shows you voted for the left wing labour party when they were right wing under Tony and to the right of the lib dems so essentially if they become right wing you will vote for them ...you left wing radical you.

sublime stuff from the times:

[u][b]My Week, by Jeremy Corbyn[/b]*[/u]

[b]Monday[/b]

It’s a quiet day, so I’ve taken all of my supporters in the Parliamentary Labour Party to the cinema to see Swallows and Amazons. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough seats
.“Yes there are,” says the usher, shining his torch.
Not if we all want to sit together, I explain.
“But there are over 40 of you,” says the usher. “And you didn’t book.”
This is precisely the problem with a privatised cinema industry. We’ll have to sit on the floor.
“You can’t,” says the usher.

Seumas, my press guy, is hovering, unhappily. He hates the cinema, on account of it being an instrument of false consciousness, but he says the usher has a point. It’s simply not plausible to expect that my entire parliamentary support could all sit together in a place as small as this.
“Unless you come back in a year!” says Tom Watson, brightly.
“Why is he still here?” demands John McDonnell.
Tom says he just really wanted to see the film.

[b]Tuesday[/b]
Midway through the morning, Seumas comes running in and says there’s a problem with our last YouTube video. The one about the busy Virgin train to Newcastle.
I think I know why. I said “ram-packed” instead of “jam-packed”.
Meaningless. It’s been bothering me all week.
“No,” says Seumas. “It’s because you sat on the floor and said there were no seats. But Virgin has released CCTV showing that there were loads. And that you sat in one of them.”

Immediately, there’s uproar. Some people reckon we should insist that the seats that looked free in fact had incredibly small people in them. One of whom I sat on. Somebody else says our best defence is to insist that they were all reserved, and that merely being the Labour leader isn’t enough to force somebody out of a seat they’ve legitimately secured.
“Unless they’re a Blairite,” says Diane Abbott, who may not have been listening.

[b]Wednesday [/b]
Eventually, I answer the phone. It’s Seumas again, sounding anxious. He says he’s been calling all day.
“Sorry,” I say. “I was making ram.”
“Ram?” he says.
“Jam,” I say, quickly. Weird.

Seumas says the train story is still raging on. Nobody is even defending me any more. Apparently Ken Livingstone was up for it, but then somebody on Twitter pointed out that him discussing trains on air could easily take a dangerous turn. So they’re now just hoping it all blows over.

[b]Thursday [/b]
I’m on a train to Glasgow for tonight’s hustings. With a seat. Shut up.
John McDonnell calls and says Owen Smith has described me as “a lunatic”.
I’m shocked. What sort of person could think that’s acceptable language to use about a political opponent?
“Only a f***ing lunatic,” says John.

Then John says that we’ve another problem. An unexpected consequence of Labour and the unions boycotting security firms is that our party conference has no security firm. Which means the police might not let it go ahead, because there’s always the danger of an attack by Islamist terrorists or a residual rump of the IRA.
“Not if we made a couple of phone calls . . .” I begin
"Shhh,” says John.

[b]Friday [/b]
Heading back to London, with Seumas. We booked. He says it’s obvious now that my leadership is under sustained attack from the plutocratic establishment. Virgin, G4S, that quite posh cinema in Pimlico, etc. So we should respond, forcefully, by boycotting all of them.
“Brilliant,” I say. “Totally. But let’s maybe wait until we get home.”

Then Seumas sighs, and says he’s still not happy. Yes, I’ll probably keep the leadership. Yes, I totally won yesterday’s hustings against Owen Smith. Even so, there are too many unforced errors which just make us look a bit amateurish. That train thing, for example.
“There are so many properly overcrowded trains,” he says. “They’re not hard to find. So if you really wanted to make that video, couldn’t you have just taken one of them?”
“Well yes,” I say. “Only then I wouldn’t have got a seat.”

Junkyard - lazarus
Oh, I see.

Have you ever done a post that was not a straw man pile of shit on this thread?

Oh dear. You sound a bit upset.

Jeremy doesn't like being asked questions that are not on his agenda either, apparently.

Everybody sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. Mind the doors...

Have you ever done a post that was not a straw man pile of shit on this thread?

You seem to have read this question as please do them ad nauseum.

Could you try to make them funny? I gave up on insightful some while ago.

I gave up on insightful some while ago.

Yes. I noticed. 😆

^^ That surely must qualify for the most puerile retort of the week.

[quote=ernie_lynch said]^^ That surely must qualify for the most puerile retort of the week.

Shut up, smelly pants.

That it should have come to this! 🙁

Well yes,” I say. “Only then I wouldn’t have got a seat.”

🙂

Oh the irony of the those here complaining about the level of the discussion here. Of course when it their trolling, hurling of abuse and name calling it's what ? Cutting edge humour and razor sharp political dialogue ?

I dont think we ever reach the point where there is no actual debate, we are just making thinks up and the debate,such that we have, is about how shitty the debate is and who are the shittiest debaters

You started it.

That it should have come to this!

(From the peanut gallery) - It (politics) always comes to this. One might say that it *is* this. 😥

Politics - A simian game in which each poo-flinging monkey picks a team and then says that the other team smells and is not to be trusted.

Winner is decided by who flings the most and stickiest poo whist taking care not to slip-up in own.

Ha ha, what sort of half-wit goes around on a bike ?

I do. So that's twice your have called me a half-wit, so now I must be a full wit. Thanks Ernie, I am honoured. Can you be a double wit?

Two great photos though - looking forward to the poster versions with the "Vote Me - No Really."

(Haven't seen the news but have there been flash floods up North again?)

I do.

You mean you've got a Chairman Mao bike ?

Does the Times know about this ?

This in spades. I don't contribute to political threads simply because I'm rubbish at arguing. Views such as I have won't be changes by internet debate neither could I hope to change others to my point of view. As entertaining as this this thread has been it seems to have run it's day 🙁

http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/chairman-mao-corbyn-bike-475

I'd have had a shed load more respect on the bike thing he had actually come out as an enthusiast or having some knowledge about bikes, but it felt more like he had randomly googled 'red bicycle' and picked the first Raleigh because its well known. particularly since this 'object of desire' cost less than his current bike

the whole thing just seemed so contrived

I'd have had a shed load more respect on the bike thing he had actually come out as an enthusiast or having some knowledge about bikes

The bastard doesn't even know anything about bikes ! He probably takes his bike to a bike mechanic !

He's beneath contempt.

I don't blame you for not having any respect for him ninfan - the sooner he's replaced by someone who actually knows something about bikes the better.

John - I really wasn't thinking straight - McDonell produced the little red book in Parliament. So you can hardly blame The Times for the Chairman Mao reference can you ?

Ernie oddly enough when I post links to ViceNews its derided at right-wing or refernces made tomthe fact Murdoch has a small stake in the business

I doubt he takes his bike to the bike mechanic for a service as that costs money and he is not a wealthy guy it seems :

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/jeremy-corbyn-says-not-wealthy-despite-130k-salary-labour-scotland-out-of-touch-a7212811.html

£137k salary, equivalent of a £1.6 million pension pot, £600k house, fails to declare his pension income on his tax return.

Hopefully his bearded messiah persona will have totally slipped by the time he is up for election to any sort of really important post.

So you can hardly blame The Times for the Chairman Mao reference can you ?

How about I go Boris brought up Hitler therefore May rides in a NAzi vehicle...still seeming rational to you and not my fault its so utterly tenous?

Ernie oddly enough when I post links to ViceNews its derided at right-wing or refernces made tomthe fact Murdoch has a small stake in the business

Why is it odd - it's left-wing and Murdoch doesn't have a small stake in the business ?

I posted a link to a Vice News in case THM didn't know what a Chairman Mao bike was. To be fair I didn't know what a Chairman Mao bike was until it was pointed out that Corbyn has one.

In fact I didn't even know that Chairman Mao had a bike.

Ernie you are missing the point, It does not matter that there is no such thing as Chairman Mao bike as its not the times fault as that John feels did something in parliament so the times is completely exonerated...jamby said so

What do you mean I'm missing the point ? Chairman Mao didn't have a bike ? What's going on ?
