Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

[belboid]

We now have a bet on Moore doing a Hitchens by 2018. Nick Cohen, earlier.

drinking herself to death? or becoming an openly right wing shit (in which case Cohen's already done it)

 

[Plumdaff]

I heard it was in the back of a Trabant. So romatic

I'm quite impressed. There's barely any room. A certain amount of athleticism is required.

Less bilgey stuff (I totally agree that the above link in the above post from Orang Utan was total shite ) -- came from Suzanne Moore's article today.

Corbyn's Labour is a party without a point, led by a rebel without a cause

She's pretty harsh, but not exactly from a Tory/Blairite direction ...

It's shit. Just stop reading the Guardian Will

 

[DotCommunist]

I'd be chuffed if I were Corbyn, 'finest half-hour' - nothing like a morning ego boost.

I'd be pissed off, sure you look like a cocksman in the daily mail and I'm sure his wife knows his past and probably laughed it all off as daily heil muckraking as per. But its precisely the sort of thing he was moaning about in the acceptance speech.

Having an affair with another councillor on a motorbike tour of East Germany is about the most 70s thing that was ever done. Is it possible to like the man even more

Mainstream Media Are A Bigger Problem Than The Tories.

What do you think of that article?

isn't bilgewatch one of taffboy's own creations?

After posting I did wonder; it's full of the same hectoring certainty.

Not a big fan of James O'Brien, but he does nail this idiotic caller...

I heard it was a Wartburg.

There's an STD joke in there somewhere...

 

[Idris2002]

Managed to avoid reading the article, by discussing it with someone who drinks with Moore (though doesn't drink as much as Moore). We now have a bet on Moore doing a Hitchens by 2018. Nick Cohen, earlier.

You know Germaine Greer?

drinking herself to death? or becoming an openly right wing shit (in which case Cohen's already done it)

My Theory of Hitchens is that someone somewhere ("gimme an "M", gimme an "I"") had the goods on him, and decided he would make a convenient patsie after 9/11.

Not well. Not well enough to know she drinks with Moore. Someone else...

"doing a Hitchens" was referring to Peter and Christoper

Not Greer anyway:

In The Guardian in 1995, Moore falsely stated that Germaine Greer had undergone a hysterectomy at 25. Greer responded by accusing Moore of possessing "hair bird's-nested all over the place, fuck-me shoes and three fat inches of cleavage."[3]

You must be pretty young if you don't remember that one.

 

[belboid]

dear god was that twenty years ago

 

[Idris2002]

A mere glimpse of the horrors to come under the Corbynist jackboot.

Er, chunkier things to remember than put-dows?

lol
Corbyn Slammed for Attending PMQs with Cock Out - News Thing

 

[J Ed]

I would prefer that she did something that Christopher did but Peter hasn't yet

It sounds like something taffy would post. "Watch out more Bilge from Taffy".

Is Aaron still in the Greens? lol.

It’s early days but Corbyn looks absolutely exhausted, even shell-shocked.

I really don’t think he had any idea of what he was letting himself in for.

I wouldn’t be surprised if, after the vile media monstering he’s had over the past week, he’ll be wondering whether it was all worth it.

I thought the way Milliband was treated was bad, but this looks like it’s going to be far, far worse.

I can honestly see it breaking him. He already looks haunted.

I’d be surprised if he makes it to 2020.

Poor sod

You are a right "Job's Comforter", Corbyn has one major advantage - he is often underestimated and is tough and not afraid of doing things the hard way. Witness PMQs.

 

[killer b]

I don't think he looks exhausted, he seemed totally relaxed on the latest Snow interview. He's just being shown in the worst light possible by a hostile media out to destroy him by any means.

 

[susie12]

He will be fine. He's been in politics for many years and I'm sure he was well aware of the reception he would get in some quarters. He's going to get a rousing welcome here in Manchester anyway when we protest the Tory conference, please come if you can!

 

[killer b]

yeah, think I will. we should have a meet.

 

[rutabowa]

Are you sure he is a politician! Jezza is like a superhero bringing truth love care and hope to the masses. I have so much respect and admiration for him. Now have a warm bath and a good nights sleep x

Err that was a quote, not me
