Jeremy Corbyn

If you haven't already, I highly recommend you look at the twitter feed of Mike Gapes, MP for Ilford South.

The man's brilliant. I may not agree with everything he stands for, but oh my he's good.

HuffPo link here - http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/10/13/mike-gapes-labour-twitter-corbyn_n_8284206.html

I highly recommend links when recommending other web based things

Do keep up at the back there, Junky! 😉

(Apologies, was in mid-edit when you posted.)

High five for Gove on this one

It comes to something when he is the voice of callmedave's conscience !

Something's changed, cameron took it on the chin when snow slagged him off for getting the Saudis the european human rights council,
maybe one day Prime minister Corbyn could have Blair charged for shutting down the al yamaha SFO investigation 🙂

Labour press office are at it again:

"Right lads, we've managed to regain the agenda, and the press are finally talking about Tory tax credit cuts, and how they will effect target demographic voters, how can we capitalise on this?"

"I know boss, we'll rake over the coals of the nuclear weapons issue that caused such a massive rift in the party that we agreed to stop talking about it, by announcing that Jezza will accept the vice presidency of CND..."

"Brilliant idea Tarquin!"

Good on you Jeremy.

Jesus christ you right wing trolls care more about him than the left wing big hitters

Principled man has principles shocker

Jesus christ you right wing trolls care more about him than the left wing big hitters

Best three quid I ever spent!

Principled man has principles shocker

Yeah, but enough about [url= http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/michael-gove-is-a-liberal-hero-who-everyone-can-get-behind-a6696916.html ]Michael Gove[/url] - it appears that Jezza has already forgotten all about those important principles he spoke of, like the Labour Party having policies decided on democratically by the membership.

JC(not Jesus Christ) thread should not be resurrected for the fact that his(not Jesus Christ's) supporters are pretending to be responding to the "right wing" comments.

In actual fact they love all the comments because they have the chance to response and in the process enhance their propaganda. They are pretending to be the victims.

No, no, no ... JC(not Jesus Christ) ... you shall not pass!

No, no, no to your EU ZM bureaucrat ideology ...

No, no, no to your utopian view that we are a family ... I am NOT related to you.

No, no, no to you ideology because it sucks! It sucks so much it lacks common sense.

No, no, no to you trying to save every human on earth ... you just kill those that oppose you like any other ideologies. No difference.

No, no, no to we are all human ... no you're not ... you cannot distinguish between real human and ZMs!

Slight hijack, saw the repeat of Question Time last night ... that white woman with the dreadlock defended the opened door no limits to immigration policy saying that they were all men because their parents/families etc let the fittest in the family to gain entrance to EU first then the entire family follows. You stoopid woman ... without the men the entire female population would be turned into sex slaves when all the men are gone or escape without their female counterpart. (assuming they come from war torn regions) Those men that left their women folks at home while the seek their fortune or pretend to escape war ... no, no, no ... you shall not pass!

The more to use of the blocker the better ... 😛

Let's see how fast you get it when you use the blocker ... 😆

I [i]think[/i] if you're using Chrome, it shows up in the chrome add-ons store or something like that. You can also choose to completely block the person so you don't even know they've posted. 😀

Once you've installed it, you get the option alongside the user's forum name as shown alongside yours in the picture I posted.

Awesome - is it just called 'fileblocker'? Can't find it.

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/singletrack-world-forum-e/cpgdlmbifgbhcoigdoeoooakijdionop

When installed (Chrome only) right click on the STW icon in the top right and configure the settings.

Testing testing ... to see if blocker works.

For those of you that can still see me ...

deadlydarcy - Member

deadlydarcy is a died hard JC (not Jesus Christ) supporter so his views are entirely utopian and makes no sense in the common sense world.

deadlydarcy might have two heads so watch out ...

See if deadlydarcy response ...

Testing testing ... 😆

That's the one, cheers atp.

Its a nice add on as its just saves skimming certain posters

Only minor flaw is when they post you often open a thread and end up t the quote box rather than the last post but I can live with that

IIRC toys 19 and Aracer played a part in its creation

That. Is. Amazing.

EDIT

IIRC toys 19 and Aracer played a part in its creation

Geniuses.

Only thing is if you're using chrome on iOS, it isn't an option. (Not sure about Android)

chvckD started it, aracer and myself have provided some changes/input to it also.

Welcome to the closed world of JC(not Jesus Christ)...

These lot are dangerous if given the power to rule because of their extreme views.

Although they pretend to be opened minded by accepting other views deep down they will reject all of them or any comments that affect their utopian ideology.

Fundamentally they are flaw in so many respects like many political ideologies but since they have been drumming for their ideology for so long, they cannot simply change them or drop them because they have nothing to turn to ... they are caught between a rock and a hard place.

I sympathise with this lot because they have trapped themselves into an ideology that they cannot change or know how to change because they cannot live with the alternatives. They usually go all out extreme ...

I told you so.

😮

Although they pretend to be opened minded by accepting other views deep down they will reject all of them or any comments that affect their utopian ideology.

its an interesting point - I think it captures the classic problem of trying to appease or compromise with the vocal extremist minority in any political party - once you start, you can't stop, because nothing you can do will [u]ever[/u] be enough for them.

This of course applies just at much to the frothing right wing nutters in the conservative party as it does to the Left - give up nukes, and the next thing they will demand is an exit from of Nato too, and then they'll be calling for the cancellation of new ships, planes, disbanding of the army etc. - it'll never stop.

I haven't blocked you because you disagree with me, I've blocked you because you spout absolute bobbins and it's boring scrolling past your posts. Made a conscious effort not to engage with you a little while ago (oh teh ironing) because it's pointless. There are plenty of people on here who don't share the same views as me, but they mostly debate with a modicum of logic.

?

Membership of the Labour Party has practically doubled since their catastrophic defeat in May's General Election, mostly due to the surprise election of Jeremy Corbyn as leader. [b]Labour now has 370,658 members, its highest total since the halcyon days of 1997. Of these, 183,658 joined since May. The total number of Conservative members is thought to number around 150,000.[/b]

When left wing candidate Corbyn threw his cap into the ring there was a quick surge of new £3 members, each of whom were then able to vote for him - or other candidates - as leader. However even following his election the number of new members has risen by another 50,000, according to The Independent - more than the total number of members of anti-EU party Ukip.

Lifer - I'm not sure what you think the benefit of party membership figures is to the debate.

Conservative party membership halved under Cameron, things like legalising gay marriage were fundamentally unpopular with the grassroots party members.

but the Tories just won a majority at the last the election...

Go figure!

So when you mentioned

vocal extremist minority in any political party

😛 At least there is still hope for you.

You see not many people can articulate points like some and I am definitely not good at articulating them. However, if something is so obviously wrong then it is. I know I tend to jump to the conclusion but like I said previously in many threads am I moving so fast ahead that I have left everyone behind or are they simply too slow to catch up? Yes, an arrogant thought but I don't know how to articulate them as I think obvious is obvious ...

As for the modicum of logic do you really expect everyone to explain everything step by step? I mean most people on STW are highly educated and when they start labeling me as a troll etc they are merely applying the technique of how do I say ... "pretend not to understand this fellow by inciting ignorance etc or constant call of trolling ..." to get him off our back so that we can continue with our propaganda.

Unfortunately for them I am here to counter their views albeit not as well prepared as them. I mean these lot are so well prepared I thought they must be desperate or they have a strong agenda to convert ...

I don't care what political ideology(s) you have I am here to balance things up ... Like I always say I treat everyone equally like a ZM.

[quote=Lifer said]So when you mentioned vocal extremist minority in any political party you weren't referring to the members? Who then?

The people who vote for said party I guess.

The Forces of anarchy of course Lifer!

Of course! 🙄

Meanwhile, the SNP have held a big party conference.

No barriers, no minders, no eggs, no snipers, and no necrophiliac porcine fellatio enthusiasts. 🙂

Interesting to note that the 'centrist' Liberals in Canada have just won an election promising to:

Cut income taxes for middle-class Canadians while increasing them for the wealthy
Run deficits for three years to pay for infrastructure spending
Do more to address environmental concerns over the controversial Keystone oil pipeline
Take in more Syrian refugees, and pull out of bombing raids against Islamic State while bolstering training for Iraqi forces
Legalise marijuana

If Corbyn suggested doing half of that stuff the media would go absolutely mental and people would be lining up to paint him as a dangerous 'hard left' troublemaker.

Only thing is if you're using chrome on iOS, it isn't an option. (Not sure about Android)

🙁 bugger, I'd really appreciate it on the iPad tbh

PSA for anyone in easy reach of Croydon who is interested in the Labour Party's now alternative economic policies to the Tories, the Shadow Chancellor, and also Jeremy Corbyn's head of policy, will be speaking, discussing, and answering questions, on Saturday 7 November 2015 from 10:30 to 16:30, at Ruskin House.

Blimey John McTernan (who must be doing pretty well out of all this) has written something I really enjoyed reading!

http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/elections/2015/10/good-luck-seumas-milne-heres-what-i-wish-theyd-told-me-when-i-took-job

Funny how this thread has gone quiet when so much is going on in relation to Corbyn. A couple of months on and I'm still unsure of where it's all going to end. What I have been surprised about though (no idea why, they are politicians after all!) is the willingness of a large number of labour MPs to wash their dirty linen in public and flagrantly undermine the party at every opportunity. Challenging the leader is one thing, but actively sabotaging the party's standing with the public and it's ability to oppose the tories is a different thing altogether. It's almost like they're goading him to introduce deselections.

So in a year or two's time is it going to be a new leader in place, or a whole new bunch of labour MPs?

but actively sabotaging the party's standing with the public and it's ability to oppose the tories is a different thing altogether. It's almost like they're goading him to introduce deselections.

Is just reminding everyone who the blairites are
