d-d-d-dAz Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Watching Queston Time and you have to worry about John McDonnell. He seems a reasonable man, and he speaks well enough but he's got a lifetime of crazy baggage that's way too easy to hang around the new leaderships neck. I think Corbyn can get through the breathless media attacks into the middle distance, and I think given his strength of position within the membership he can survive his party for a while too. But I can't help but shake the feeling that McDonnell will come back and bite him on his arse. God knows what dirt the tabloids could dig up on McDonnell. *edit* Jesus. His back catalogue is worst than Hanson's. Fucking hell. Edited September 17, 2015 by d-d-d-dAz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted September 18, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2015 Mark Steel being reliably great in The Independent As he’s been leader for five days now, the press are calming down a bit. By tomorrow headlines will only say things like, “Cor-Bin Laden will force pets to be Muslim”, followed by an interview with 89-year-old Vera, who says: “It’s not fair because my hamster’s scared of burqas. That’s the last time I’ll vote Labour.” The Telegraph will be even more measured, reporting: “Corbyn plans to introduce women-only gravity. Men will be left to float through space, making it harder to arrive on time for work, costing Britain £40bn.” This could go alongside the genuine report in The Times on Monday, that Jeremy Corbyn’s neighbours “often see him riding a Chairman Mao-style bicycle”. A less thorough reporter might only mention that he rides a bicycle. Luckily this one knew the country where lots of bicycles are ridden is China, which was once ruled by Chairman Mao, which means Corbyn is planning to force us all to work in rice fields and eat dogs. One problem with this excitement is that it’s hard to increase the hysteria when they’ve gone so wild in the first week, but they’ll rise to the challenge. By November, we’ll be told he’s forced Mary Berry to eat an Arctic roll full of blackbird sick as revenge for selling her book about scones via corporate tax-avoiders Amazon. Then Panorama will reveal Corbyn appeared at a conference with Satan, who he described as an “old pal”; the evidence is a dream their informant had after falling asleep in a cowshed after drinking a bottle and a half of Sambuca. You could tell how chaotic his leadership would be from the start, when he gave some important jobs in his party to people he agrees with. This provoked outrage. If he was being inclusive, instead of appointing John McDonnell as shadow chancellor, he’d have given the job to Jeremy Clarkson. The other complaint about his Shadow Cabinet was the low number of women appointed, only 16 out of 31 rather than the half he promised. The Sun complained of an “equality blunder”, and you can understand their frustration as they’ve always been uncompromising with their feminist demands, devoting every day’s Page 3 to poems by Mexican women’s rights campaigners, no matter how strong the protests to stop. He didn’t even give a job to Yvette Cooper, on the grounds that she’d said she wouldn’t take it. But if he really cared about women’s equality, he’d have said “you’ll do whatever job I bloody well give you, love”, and the problem would be solved. But none of us can have guessed the unspeakable horror to come next, when he didn’t sing the national anthem at a Battle of Britain memorial, ruining the efforts of everyone who fought in the Second World War. Commentators told us: “Those pilots did more than anyone to stop Hitler, and now Jeremy Corbyn has literally opened the cockpit of every Spitfire and smeared dog mess on the seats.” It’s no wonder people called phone-in shows to make comments such as “I’ve taught myself to snore the national anthem, so I don’t insult the pilots during my sleep.” It’s understandable for people to see it as an insult when someone didn’t sing “God Save the Queen” at the memorial, because the Queen played a major part in the battle, as a wing commander who shot down five enemy aircraft over Folkestone. Even so, it’s hard to see how the national anthem is the song that most directly commemorates the RAF, so one suggestion to avoid a similar incident in future is to sing a different song at each memorial. Next year it could be “The Omen” by The Prodigy. Anyone not joining in by screaming “The writing’s on the wall” in St Paul’s cathedral will be arrested for treason. Once again it was The Sun that seemed most furious about this lack of respect for dead servicemen. But if Corbyn gets his way it won’t even be possible to insult the armed forces, because, according to The Sun, he’ll “abolish the army”. It didn’t make clear how he’d do that, especially when he appears at Prime Ministers’ Questions seeming mild and reasonable, reading out questions sent in from around the country. Most people seem to feel this was a healthy change, though it may be even better if he puts all the questions in a bucket and draws them out at random. This would strengthen our democracy further. “Prime Minister, Tina from Exeter asks, who would win in a fight between Godzilla and a giant tarantula?” At first, Cameron would insist the mutant spider had no chance against a seasoned monster with wide experience of destruction, and his front bench would yell “hear hear hear” as usual. But eventually a calmer atmosphere would prevail, and Parliament would become a forum for reasonable debate. That’s when Corbyn will strike to abolish the army. He’ll introduce a similar system, so instead of weapons, our soldiers will march to the front line of a battle, and call out to the enemy: “Alan from Doncaster has asked what are you going to do about all the fires in the city you’ve just demolished.” Then in 50 years’ time, when there’s a memorial for all our troops that are captured, he won’t even sing at it. That’s how much of a danger he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 19, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 19, 2015 The Sun ran a story on Jeremy Corbyn being conned by a guy claiming to be an IRA man in the 80s. Said he gave the chap £45 so the guy could escape the country. He was later arrested and done for fraud. The hilarity of it is that The Times ran this story in the 80s. And then had to run a correction on it because it was a member of Corbyn's constituency office staff who had given the man the money and Corbyn had actually notified the police when he found out. God, it's good to see that cunt Harry Cole squirming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 The only upside to the anti Corbyn hysteria is that the scum sheets are peaking early and may have played their cards too soon. The EU referendum is when things will get really interesting IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If a story has been rebuked to the point of an official apology being published, any future republishing of the bullshit story should see the book being thrown at the company. They'll have made a clear decision that it was worth publishing because they know that more people will see the story than will see the tiny apology. Absolutely disgraceful, that.

Paid Members herbie747 Posted September 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Okay, I know nothing about politic - almost zero. Who is this Corbyn guy and why is everyone hating on him? What has he done? Cameron said he's a threat to national security, and an active general has threatened a coup. WTF is going on?

The King Of Swing Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 He is an actual left wing Labour leader and we can't have that apparently. How anyone can defend the British press in 2015 is beyond me. Fucking disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted September 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2015 Fuck a general. Although let's be real honest here, Corbyn isn't going to win any election. I have serious doubts that he will even make it to 2020 as leader. But you've got the standard right wing press against him and even huge swathes of the mainstream left wing media because those guys are all middle class, centre-left Labour voters. The military probably has huge issues with his stance on NATO and Trident. He has very few allies in the media or anywhere else. He's got the grassroots to a degree but I don't see them building enough support to get people who voted Tory last time who might be convinced to switch back to actually do so. His policies are too left wing for those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted September 20, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2015 Did he fuck a pig in front of the queen or something? I've been seeing mental headlines, but haven't read any articles because politics is boring - but had to come on here and try to get a summary of this Corbyn lad.

Merzbow Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 On a similar note, Cameron put his dick in a dead pigs (no not thatcher) mouth, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
