How could Miliband (D) ever win a leadership contest now? I doubt he could.Lord Kangana wrote:David Miliband to ride in like Sheriff Bart in 3-5 years time.
In the meantime we have to endure 5 years whining every time Jeremy says something like "let's try to be as nice as possible to as many people as possible". Grrr, the bastard.
I await the early opinion polls. This could unravel quite quickly or drag on and endure a slow and painful death.

Re: The Politics Thread
I think the difference between now and say 5 years time, is about 5 years time.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

I exclude ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Argentinians and a whole host of others from that sentiment.Lord Kangana wrote:David Miliband to ride in like Sheriff Bart in 3-5 years time.

F*cking Argentinians and their plans for world domination. Grrr (shakes fist).

Re: The Politics Thread
So the smartest lad on the internet has fallen for the media spin on Corbyn's Bin Laden comments.. Who knew?
The hatchet job that is already going on along with so many lies, is actually making me want to support the bloke. Disgusting that we cannot get a neutral press in this day & age.
Camerons tweet that was probably saved in his drafts for weeks show a man who is worried that someone may upset the apple cart... Afterall, if a 'rival' company or party were doing something as in-comprehensively stupid as employing such a massive mistake, then wouldn't you just keep that to yourself and laugh smugly as it all went to shit??

Wasn't that situation bought about by territorial claims on the Antarctic rather than any majorly insane desire to own a couple of lumps of rock for the sake of it? A bit like ownership of Rockall in the 70's...Lord Kangana wrote:F*cking Argentinians and their plans for world domination. Grrr (shakes fist).

Something to do with oil, unsurprisingly. Which amounts to one and the same thing.

Re: The Politics Thread
The problem is that the tens of thousands who joined the party to vote for Corbyn will not vote for David Miliband. Unless suddenly Labour change the rules again, I struggle to see that happen.Lord Kangana wrote:I think the difference between now and say 5 years time, is about 5 years time.
Might have to be more of a compromise than that.

Re: The Politics Thread
6 months ago absolutely no-one with any semblance of sense was predicting a leadership race that had Jeremy Corbyn as a front runner. Indeed the bish, amongst others, was preparing for government. 5 years is a hell of a long time in politics.

That is true. If we're talking post-election then yes it may be a needs must vote thing.Lord Kangana wrote:6 months ago absolutely no-one with any semblance of sense was predicting a leadership race that had Jeremy Corbyn as a front runner.

But pre-election I couldn't see it. And I doubt Corbyn will make it to the next election myself. I think under 2 years.

I think you will find they are things that Korbinov gets a senior moment over and forgets!boltonboris wrote:So the smartest lad on the internet has fallen for the media spin on Corbyn's Bin Laden comments.. Who knew?

Also not too sure I like Korbinov's attitude of cutting people off when they ask pertinent questions of him, rude nice person tbh.

Who said, 'Be careful what you wish for'.
This will all go badly wrong, hopefully it won't go badly wrong in a bad way.
Stranger things have happened.

Maybe the Aussie migrant policy might fall apart now? Don't know much about this bloke accept he's a limp wristed liberal.

In other words he's a typical hard left wanker who thinks he is right over everything and is placed to tell us all how we should think and act!McDonnell told a fringe meeting at the Trades Union Congress in Brighton that he was not very good at the consensual style of politics Corbyn has promised to bring to his leadership, or respecting people who disagree with him.

Re: The Politics Thread
I know little of the guy, but what I can see, is that a few people seem very worried and not because of how he'll fvck the country up or owt, but because he doesn't subscribe to their version of politics.. Interestingly, the Sun and Sky News seem to be the worst.. There's something in common with those two, I believe..CAPSLOCK wrote:Aye, fcuk knows why anybody would make anything upboltonboris wrote: The hatchet job that is already going on along with so many lies

Re: The Politics Thread
Surely they'd only be worried that he'd f*ck the country up if he got elected? Because, if I'm not mistaken, the narrative also seems to be that he's unelectable? Why the dichotomy? Unless it's based on fear?
