I'm offended by your reasonableness on this matter.
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.

He got 4% in a poll of Jewish Labour party members ( in a two horse race) and Jewish members are shouted down at his local meeting (which tbf in your words is pretty standard).thebish wrote:bobo the clown wrote:

So yeah, I'm not sure they do.

Re: The Politics Thread
If Corbyn's tweet the other day didn't give you enough of an idea of his people's attitudes towards 9/11, here is Seamus Milne. On 13 September 2011.
"Shock, rage and grief there has been aplenty. But any glimmer of recognition of why people might have been driven to carry out such atrocities, sacrificing their own lives in the process - or why the United States is hated with such bitterness, not only in Arab and Muslim countries, but across the developing world - seems almost entirely absent. Perhaps it is too much to hope that, as rescue workers struggle to pull firefighters from the rubble, any but a small minority might make the connection between what has been visited upon them and what their government has visited upon large parts of the world."

The stink of the scum that hangs around Labour, Corbyn and the momentum Union backed slime is overpowering.I am Labour through and through. Yet over the last couple of days, thousands of people have told me that I should leave the party. What did I do to attract such attention? What was it I did that made people so angry?
I wrote something. Not an article, so much as a raggedly little statement of feeling that just happened to be shared by thousands. A statement of disappointment and of anger that Jeremy Corbyn has appointed as his key adviser a one-time Stalinist called Seumas Milne. And I stand by it. I hold no brief for Milne. It kills me that Labour does. I think Milne is an apologist for terror, and will always be an apologist for terror. I think that he never met a truth he didn’t dismiss as an orthodoxy and that nowhere in his far-Left polemic are actual people represented.

well - here's a thing..
if Corbyn can unite Hoboh, Pru and BWFCi in cosy political harmony - then his powers of reconciliation are immense!

Re: The Politics Thread
I quite like the idea of a moderate Labour party that does not kiss the arse of big business, unfortunately we are a long way off that, both contenders fall either side of it and Smith is a fake take up any policy to win tosser.thebish wrote:well - here's a thing..

At least Corbyn is the genuine article, a wanker.

Re: The Politics Thread
Hypothetically speaking....
what happened, if (a gigantic 'if', I know) Corbyn became PM and there was a massive Terror attack in the UK by Daesh / Al Qaeda, or whoever.
Would he and Milne just say "what goes around, comes around"? Or would he pay it right back with double the force?

let's not give all the credit to Corbyn - you've been drawing closer to Hobes for a while now...

Re: The Politics Thread
I'm still as far away from hoboh as ever. He remains plain wrong on almost, but not quite, everything!

Soon he'll be brave enough to come out.

"Just how much clout will Britain have on the international diplomatic stage after leaving the European Union?"
Who gives a fvck. The more of this we stay out of, the better.
