Jeremy Corbyn

Thanks kimbers. from thm's posts it doesn't look like working as a top-level economist requires communication skills.

Ed Millibeard is morphing into Jeremy Corbyn!

working as a top-level economist

😆

Yes Murdoch has done a tweet to "back" corbyn NB you need to consider this backing and Rup to be part of the establishment.
THE TWEET

Corbyn increasingly likely Labor winner. Seems only candidate who believes anything, right or wrong.

A woman who has ... no talent

EL I appreciate facts are not the important to you, but they don't "give" firsts away at Cambridge.

Head Girl and good at footie too. Ok, not a PM but "no talent"???

Poor old Owen Jones will be most upset. His man backed by the dreaded Dirty Digger. And he wrote a whole chapter about it, in "The Establishment"!!

He must be disappointed 😉

It's pretty obvious that I am referring to talent as a politician. She might be a highly talented concert pianist, for example, (or historian) that doesn't mean that she has the talent to become a prime minister. ffs

I have to say THM for someone who likes to project an air of superiority as you condescendingly suggest to people that issues are too complicated for them to understand, you can be remarkably thick.

Quite. 🙂

Keep on swerving. It's a joy to watch.

And you have the nerve to claim I troll you 🙄
Seems everyone can see your trolling these days THM

He swerved nothing he answered your spurious claim directly.
It really was impossible to miss him answering you.

She clearly has political talent - so still not true. But agreed not a PM, but that isn't stopping this story is it??

I said :

A woman who has no experience, no policies, no talent, no support in the Labour Party, and no ability to offer a convincing argument or any sort of inspiration.

Every man and his dog knows that Liz Kendall stands zero chance of being the next Labour Prime Minister, and yet Tony Blair and his cronies are backing her !

That is obviously my opinion. If you think otherwise, ie, that 5 years as an MP is experience, that she has a multitude of policies, enormous talent, huge support in the Labour Party, and is an inspirational politician, then make your case. Don't come with some bollocks about [i]"EL I appreciate facts are not the important to you"[/i]

EL I appreciate facts are not the important to you

A perfect little example of your smug supercilious put-downs/trolling. Textbook.

What's that about playing the ball not the man?

Her case stands for itself. And falsifies the idea that she has "no talent" - political or otherwise.

So either facts are or are not important. Very clear and you after all a stickler for precision in others.

Almost a full possee 🙂 . Great. Must be time for lunch.....Bon appetit

Does anyone else fancy Liz Kendal or do I need help?

Back on topic I honestly don't know if Corbyn is the answer or not for Labour but it's refreshing to see some character after years of bland clones across all parties

Enjoy your dinner...any MP's there today ?

*Insert emoticon here to make it really really funny and not a dig *

Murdoch has said that he thinks Corbyn will win, which isn't the same as backing him.

True that. All of his opponents think he's going to win too but they don't back him

I think that was the point.

And - as an aside, now I think of it - have you ever conceded one?

Phew everyone can breath out now....

Would have been an odd love in given

It is safe to say Murdoch’s admiration for Corbyn is not mutual. In 2011, Corbyn called the Sun “a low-grade abusive tabloid whose populism and abuse of individuals was unprecedented in its ferocity and bile”, in a column for the Morning Star.

Phew everyone can breath out now....

No-one capable of basic comprehension was holding their breath.

Yes, but ransos for those of us who are "remarkably thick" things are much harder to follow. Do excuse us....

Successful troll is successful. Well done you.

Just you actually.

Sorry, excuse ME ...it's tough being remarkably thick

(and to think hammers have descended for such comments in the past) .

But because they are panicking at the thought that Corbyn might win the next general election.

This 100%. It's incredible that they're still running with the 'he can't win an election' line when they're still backing Kendall. Even D Miliband came out for her recently after numerous polls saying she's in a distant fourth place. Whilst I admire his resistance to jumping on bandwagons (this time), it's illustrative that he, and others like him, are not interested in having a leader who is capable of winning the next election. No doubt his own reasons are because he wants to come back as the saviour in two elections time.

Strangely sensitive for somebody who likes to refer to people,(in this case Scots,) in the way you do. Maybe you need to get a sense of humour?

You're referring to yourself as "remarkably thick".

Are you trying to prove my point about basic comprehension?

He said you 'can be remarkably thick' which isn't the same, as you well know. It's hardly more of a put down than 'I know facts aren't important to you'.

Troll troll troll then jump on your high horse and have the nerve to complain things have gone off topic. It's either rank hypocrisy or more trolling. Either way it's tedious.

would it be such a bad thing if Corbyn won, pulled the party left (or at least to some sort of coherent platform) and then was replaced by someone more "electable"?

It's "Jeremy Corbyn" Grum.

HTH

I am sure there was a topic here somewhere....

Still must be everyone elses fault eh

I am not going to get too sweaty (universal usage)

Is there an alternative usage that pisses people off that someone else keeps using then...rings a bell. ❓

[pokes head in, sees far more coherent politics discussion on Facebook comments sections, removes head]

Predictably pathetic, really.

"House"

(Jive must be on holiday)

Meanwhile, I am sure there was a topic here somewhere....

It would be nice to think so wouldn't it....

Jeremy Corbyn apparently

Ok then back on topic. My mum is very against Corbyn, cos she thinks he's like Michael Foot. Is she right?

Only if the foot in question is encased in a steel toecap.

Is there an alternative usage that pisses people off that someone else keeps using then

"house" - its almost as if you are smug and satisfied
Instead of reminding us about the topic you could of course address it yourself - no that I am suggesting that you repeated doing this is "remarkably thick"

Corbyn also need a bomber jacket and this speech

We are not here in this world to find elegant solutions, pregnant with initiative, or to serve the ways and modes of profitable progress. No, we are here to provide for all those who are weaker and hungrier, more battered and crippled than ourselves. That is our only certain good and great purpose on earth, and if you ask me about those insoluble economic problems that may arise if the top is deprived of their initiative, I would answer 'To hell with them.' The top is greedy and mean and will always find a way to take care of themselves. They always do.

Ok then back on topic.

I'm abroad ATM so restricted to Sky News on a dodgy satellite receiver. The only thing they have to say on the contest at the moment is a story about twitter trolls calling the candidates names. It reminds me of why I don't have sky or buy any Murdoch owned media.

Anyway, I've now been given my vote (they obviously don't look at STW in their vetting process), so a good thing I guess. I've never once in my life been involved in a mainstream party and have instead been someone who crows and moans from the sidelines, along with going on pointless marches etc when I was young. If the labour party thinks that's a bad thing, then they may as well pack up now.

some industrial strength irony right there

Why's that then?
