Jeremy Corbyn

I can generalise that the STW lefties appear to be accepting of DA's hypocrisy over schooling her kids - witness very few poeple critising it.

Up to you whether you want to put your trust in a racist hyprocrite...

Yes TurnerGuy, clearly nuance is difficult for your capabilities. Bless.

as opposed to the racist hypocrites that currently sit on the government benches?

evidence of their racist hypocracy ?

that aside our arms sales to countries like Saudi makes hypocrites of the last 30+ years of governments

Why? How many countries has Saudia Arabia invaded?

That's funny because I've criticised it and so have several other 'STW lefties'.

But it's kind of hilarious for you to be complaining about racism when Boris Johnson is a leading figure in this government:

“the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies” (racist caricatures of dark-skinned children of African descent). “No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down”

See also:

'When Johnson was editor of The Spectator, an article was written which stated that “Orientals…have larger brains and higher IQ scores. Blacks are at the other pole”. '

“Orientals…have larger brains and higher IQ scores. Blacks are at the other pole”. '

Doesn't science actually say that both of these things are true though?

Oh dear god....

so how come the STW lefties are so accepting of this but slag off white people sending their kids to private school? It's not just DA that's hypocritical.

Like John?

Everybody make sure your mum is safe, Zulu's on a roll again.

I see they have been getting the old rolling stock ready for if Corbyn gets in - spotted at Woking the other day :

PS the jokes are not much better than the "thinking"

If any comrades haven't voted for our Marxist chancellor yet you'd better run along now, polling stations close in less than an hour.

I presume you mean "shadow chancellor" - it's ok, I realise details slip by you sometimes. Anyway, he wasn't standing in my constituency enfht. Was he standing in yours then?

I hope you had an EDL or BNP confidante to vote for this time round - though with it being a snap election, it seems they haven't had a great deal of time to get a campaign together.

TheDiane and Baroness Chakrabati should just be honest and say they send their kids to private school as they think (know) the academically focused standard of education is higher. Private schools also tend to offer better extra curricular activities and superior after school hours care. They could also point out that as they can afford private schooling they are relieving pressure on the state system by not taking up a place.

Traitors Scoff 😉

Oops,The dog just flinched again. But I didn't hear anything. Too high pitched perhaps?

jambalaya.....

No, it isn't:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/2017/01/19/gcse-results-2016-top-100-secondary-schools/

"This year, nine of the top 10 schools for GCSE results were state schools, with Henrietta Barnett School in London scoring 100 per cent for students obtaining both 5 A*-Cs and the EBacc. "

Sorry- wrong.

I think we should all take a minute to thank those selfless Tories who took the time to help make this moment possible

He does seem like a proper lefty, with more than a hint of sandals... Is it too late to join labour so I can vote for him?
Not at all- there are full instructions here for the concerned conservative voter

Clicky clicky!

cranberry - Member
A socialist labour leader would-be great
On that we agree. I've paid £3 to make it happen.

cranberry - Member
I'll p*ss myself laughing if he wins. Other conservatives I've talked to love the idea of screwing up Labour for a decade for only £3.

Comrade Cranberry, we salute you [img] [/img]

Cranberry, I can't thank you and your temporary fellow travellers enough.

You should be very proud of yourself this morning.

Much appreciated, we couldn't have got this far without you.

Isn't it nice to make a difference?

Tories of STW, where are you this morning? Awfully quiet in here, anything wrong? 😆

I'm utterly gutted, I had it completely wrong, we can see now that Jeremy garnered overwhelming public support, and is in line to form the next government.

Oh, perhaps not.

It's hardly 1997 all over again is it?

OOH poor wee ninfan he cannot gloat about how much the Tories won by but by god he is still going to be trolling indafitagably [ and shittly]

Tories of STW, where are you this morning? Awfully quiet in here, anything wrong?

I voted Tory, nothing wrong here. Still have a Labour MP actress who despite doing nothing previously, got voted in again and will continue to do the same. Nothing.
Don't expect much change from Jeremy Corbyn either in opposition or the lack of it. He's still an activist, good at getting people charged up but not a leader. I expect he'll have a bit more confidence now especially with all the Blairite's that were suddenly creeping around him on TV last night so you might have some more far left leaning. Also expect Diane Abbott to make a miraculous recovery and back in here previous role.
More polarisation of the people and a lack of cooperation between the parties to achieve what the UK needs. I feel pretty sad for that though and wish there had been a more centre party for people to choose.

I did just look up the definition of 'landslide victory' just to make sure - does a move from a majority administration to a minority administration qualify.

Confused.

A landslide victory is an electoral victory in a political system, when one candidate or party receives an overwhelming majority of the votes or seats in the elected body, thus all but utterly eliminating the opponents.

I think we should all take a minute to thank those selfless Tories who took the time to help make this moment possible

I'm glad that's been remembered.

Eh Junky?

Jezza has proven, as we all said, to be unelectable. Sixty odd seats short of winning.

Now, theres no doubting that Theresa May has as well, but some of us said she was the wrong choice from the start.

Every cloud and all that. Clear Corbyn will stay on as leader now.

It's the direction of travel that the Tories should be worried about. Potentially worsening economy and messy Brexit divorce over the next few years, an awakened youth vote, and leaders with very questionable electoral appeal.

They won't want to go back for more in six weeks, or even six months...

Please do it again
Something outrageous/preposterous goes here to garner attention.

I have been on the right side of every vote. Ever.

jambalaya

100-150 majority

75-100 seat majority

You do realise he was one of the major reasons the Tories lost so much?

Yep. Corbyn was never going to win this time but he has done a fantastic job in giving people a choice which has previously been decided by Labour/others was not want people wanted.

Maybe more people want a fairer society than the tories hoped?

It's a good result given the circumstances but let's not forget that it only looks good because of how bad it looks earlier. Given the anti Tory sentiment and a weak leader Labour should have won by a landslide not have just done enough to hang parliament.

BUT

Corbyn himself has done tremendously well. He didn't quite beat the Tories but he managed to deal with a PLP that didn't want him and made the mainstream media look pretty bad. That takes some doing.

And he did that by being showing integrity and being right. Personal hero.

Given the anti Tory sentiment and a weak leader Labour should have won by a landslide not have just done enough to hang parliament.

As Zulu points out, it's not 1997. The anti-Tory sentiment isn't anything like it was twenty years ago. Back then the revulsion was right across the electorate. This time it was a mobilisation of those on the left plus some Tory remainers.

I agree and he has done admirably well- especially when you consider how shitty the personal attacks were on him - to not do the personal /ad homs but to stick to policies.

I also think long term it makes a lot of sense to garner the young vote as they will be yours for a while and the tory voters [ older] are [ literally] dying.

I agree its hard to say if this is a change of tact but it has shown that a genuinely left wing alternative can be popular with the populace

As Zulu points out, it's not 1997. The anti-Tory sentiment isn't anything like it was twenty years ago. Back then the revulsion was right across the electorate.

Yes, back then it needed a long period of political paralysis including a disastrous crashing out of a European financial arrangement...

Luckily, none of those ingredients look likely over the next few years. 🙂

Get out! 🙂

Great result in many ways, if Corbyn had won he'd get to own the Brexit farce!

Even better with May's hard Brexit mandate in tatters, maybe the damage to the UK can be mitigated

All those wittering on about Diane Abbot's education decision about her children (as if that's the only thing she's ever done), or yakking about her poor TV performances whilst clearly she was very ill, need to read the attached and then have a serious think about your attitudes.

I'm not a fan particularly but, given her efforts, she deserves better. I'm not in favour of bullies and vicious internet a-holes.
