Well, here I sat, waiting for John McDonnell to be slaughtered for his support of the provisional ira and instead, I'm applauding him for his honesty, decency and pragmatism. I'm impressed. And rather stunned.

Yep. Not going to be so easy for the Tories as they thought. I really enjoyed the swatting away of the Tory journalist as the total smarmy young fogey creep he is...

The mad, looney left, blood-sucking, crazed eaters of human flesh are doing pretty well in reasoned debate... :D

Speaking of magic beans, I wonder who it was that tried to be St fcuking Francis of Assisi?
And I would just like to remember some words of St. Francis of Assisi which I think are really just particularly apt at the moment. ‘Where there is discord, may we bring harmony. Where there is error, may we bring truth. Where there is doubt, may we bring faith. And where there is despair, may we bring hope’
I clearly recall all that happening.

Jezza might recoil from the association.... but, I thought this (though slightly forced) was an interesting comparison...

Or it go like the Private Eye comparison:

Tory:


Lose election to charismatic media man (Blair)

Appoint nerd (Hague)

Lose election

Appoint rebel back-bench MP (IDS)

Lose election.

Labour:


Lose election to charismatic media man (Cameron)

Appoint nerd (Miliband)

Lose election.

Appoint rebel back-bench MP

Anyway, I like Jess Philips already! http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/09 ... 51468.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

"Talking to The Huffington Post UK, Ms Phillips, who despite being elected in May has already earned a reputation for being one of the most outspoken MPs, said: “I roundly told her to f*ck off.”

When asked what Ms Abbott did after that suggestion, Ms Phillips replied: “She f*cked off.”

:lol:

She added: “People said to me they had always wanted to say that to her, and I don’t know why they don’t as the opportunity presents itself every other minute.”

The only good thing about this is seeing people who under different circumstances would be morally outraged and calling for sackings and beheadings, try to morally justify this as "just one of those things you do"........it is literally hilarious!
