The Jeremy Corbyn thread

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Like it or not the party is the leader!!

I suggest he sorts his personality politics out if he wants a shot at the big seat!

Well a lot of people don't agree and want more than the last 30 years of personality politics. As someone else said, the policy's will speak to a lot of people.

 

[Chicken Run]

So negative and abusive!. What would be your policy proposals and priorities be to improve the governance of theUk?

Only negative because you don’t like the taste, as for my policy proposals, who gives a damn, I worry about the people IC or have a chance of dealing with those IC, unfortunately Corbyn has proven over 3 years can’t be trusted to deal a deck of cards yet alone hold the current shower accountable!!! I blame his association with the bully brigade that is Momentum, here’s some advice, if he publicly discredited them and moved to disassociate the party from them he might improve his chances!!!

Corbyn is that extreme rarity in politics, an honest and decent person who believes in socialism.

Yes, and if you add anti-Semitism to socialism, what do you get? National Socialism perhaps? Hmmmm.........nice.

Clearly he's not anti-Semitic. Criticises Israel yes, anti-Semitic no. Claiming he is damages the valid criticisms that Labour should have handled this issue better and turns people off this issue entirely

You could base them on some other sound logic like your own

The definitive Welsh Assembly Loony Party Manifesto

We will feed the Welsh dragon as its looking a bit thin due to government cuts

We will try to find a breeding pair of dragons as the Welsh Dragon is an endangered species.

We will Report the Welsh dragon to the monopolies commission (there is only One)

In the Interests of national security we will ban all Leeks from the Welsh Assembly canteen

To save money we will reduce the Welsh assembly from 60 seats to 5 and create the Welsh Ensemble .

Man versus horse and Bog snorkling to be an Olympic sport.

We will create massive factories in South Wales manufacturing Bird nests and noodles and then flood china with them… well they did it to our steel,

We will Legalise Broccoli

We will give the Letter K a sound

We will have different Coloured Dragons on the Welsh Flag.

Anyone over 5 years old who can hold a crayon will be eligible to vote.

We will Introduce Mermaids to Tiger Bay to increase tourism.

We will make Swansea Airport the Hub of the Welsh Space Program.

We promise that should we be elected we will not initiate any of our policies.

IMO, the Tories are polling higher because they're the only pro-Brexit party. And they also have permanent media support. Not to mention that, because of UK system, they seem to hold around a 35% of the vote whatever they do.

Spot on

Don’t let yourself down, we were having a nice yet heated debate until you showed up, go and celebrate a a Sussex first home win in the T20!!

Not too dissimilar to 1997 when the Labour Party delivered a grown up party completely electable, what chance has Corbyn polling those sorts of numbers, zero!

 

[GT49er]

Not anti-Semitic, maybe - but 'clearly'? That's a tough one to justify - he's leading a party with a substantial amount of anti-Semitism running through it. The buck stops, and all that...............

Not sure about the debate here, perhaps some fear of the other, just thought I would offer up some policies as you failed to offer some to the kind gentleman who asked earlier (in your debate).

The massively inconvenient fact that out of the eight terrorists confirmed to have committed the Munich Terrorist atrocity, not a single one is actually buried at the Cemetery in Tunis that Corbyn visited.

has anyone made that claim? first two news reports i just pulled up cite it was a ceromony and nothing more. so the inconvenient fact is Corbyn was at a ceremony in memory of some terrorists. and being all the way in Tunisia must have felt rather strong about wanting to be there. not involved though.

i dont care that much, the squirming and defense is quite amusing. why couldn't he just front it out, like he's supposed to as such a man of principle? the only reason he seems to be in this quagmire is because he cant/wont cut adrift others in the party that are anti-semitic, and gets dragged down.

Nobody denies that there are problems with anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry within the Labour Party. Given that anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry are shockingly commonplace in wider society, any organisation (see the Tories and Islamaphobia) of the size of the Labour Party is bound to have a few horrible people kicking around.

Mmmm, you’re better than this? You’re offering nothing but snidey remarks, be happy Ty got a hat trick!

Did you read Boris’s article in the Telegraph? I assume not.
He actually stated that he supported their right to wear the Burka, but then made the comments that it looked stupid (like a letterbox). Actually, it should be banned. Not because it’s a religious symbol, but purely so people can be identified in public.

The Burka is not required by Islam (think about Saudi Arabia as they are very strict Muslims but it’s not required to be worn there). I read an article from a Muslim woman and she was stating it looks stupid and should be banned. A lot of women are forced to wear it by their husbands she said.

To try to compare that comment about the Burka to the leader of the Labour Party honouring the terrorists who murdered Israeli athletes competing at the Olympics is incredible. Has Boris honoured any terrorists who have murdered Muslims?

Corbyn is a fool IMO. He even supports a Venezuelan regime who, despite having the largest oil reserves in the world are virtually ruined as a country. Marxism doesn’t work (capitalism is far from perfect, but it appears to be the least worst). And before you say the Tories aren’t any better, I’d say that the current quality of parliamentarians is poor, but then look back at Cameron, Brown, Bliar, Major as PMs and they’ve all been sh1t. We rarely get quality people in politics, as the really bright know they can earn more money in private sector, so we get the slime bags in politics who want to stick their snouts in the trough.

It's how Boris made his argument that was the problem. If we want to have a debate in this country about our feelings about people covering their faces then let's have a serious, informed debate however Boris derailed the whole concept of a sensible debate with his petty letterbox/Bank robber comments. Now personally I think his comments were deliberately intended to cause a bit of a storm as the man is such megalomaniac that he will stoop to any level to keep himself in the headlines.

For the record, from everything I have seen, Corbyn was attending an event remembering people that died at the hands of the Israeli airforce in 1985, not the 1972 Munich terror attack. Now if that is proven not to be the case, then Corbyn should be rightly criticised as should Boris.

What Corbyn was actually doing was paying tribute to the victims of an outrageous Israeli terrorist attack on the Palestinian government in exile that resulted in 60 civilian deaths in 1985 (a terrorist attack that was universally condemned at the time, even by Margaret Thatcher).

'A few'.........hmmm.

Was Corbyn being paid for part of his trip?

Well without having to eat sleep debate repeat, as you say we have more debate on the cricket threads. Look forward to hearing your policies, as they do not seem to be forthcoming in the said debate. Your welcome to rehash the WLP ones, they seem to fit a lot of the logic on here. Especially the leader is the party - Theresa May!

It’s ironic isn’t it that pre Corbyn/Momentum it was predominantly the Tories that had the majority of filth in their ranks! Now for some strange reason the Labour Party is rife with nasty characters, coincidence?
