Corbyn disrespects Tupac

On the upside, after his impending tragic death in a freak accident caused by wear and tear on his car's brake line, Corbyn is assured a Christmas number one with the lead single from his posthumously-issued spoken word album of political oratory and leftist poetry.

Another Corbyn thread getting a bit sick of all this tbh but thats modern politics

Thinks its worth having a seperate thread for Corbyn & the Cabinet and how they're dealt with in the media (and how they deal with it too). I doubt there'll be a day that goes by without some attempt to undermine and misrepresent.

Interesting, first I've heard of this.

The town that moved itself offshore to avoid tax has been criticised by an unlikely source


I would agree with this:

“There isn’t a level playing field and multinational companies are able to operate in a way which small individual businesses cannot.”

Even though I also think good on the small traders, its doubtful they'd be able to get away with it the same way as the larger multinationals.

I got the impression they were doing it to make a point. And being prevented from "moving offshore" might well make that point very nicely.

Whether, of course, it will do any good is another matter altogether...

ETA: TBH, I think the bloke's got the wrong end of the stick. It's obvious that this is a stunt on Crickhowell's part to highlight an issue, not avoid tax, and - assuming that they are being correctly advised, which we must assume they are - having HMRC come down on them for doing something as legal as Facebook, Caffe Nero, and Google are doing will only serve to make the point they're trying to make even more emphatically.

I suspect this is more of the kind of thinking that has Labour trying to out-Tory the Tories because "we've got to do what the voters want", only in this case it's "we've got to do what HMRC demands".

According to twitter, Corbyn has been allowed to join the Privy Council without having to kneel before the queen or having to kiss her ring.

Likewise according to the BBC, Guardian, and almost certainly the rest of the mainstream media. I believe even Huffington Post had a piece on it!

 

[DotCommunist]

I didn't realise there was kissing of the ring usually. Is liz basically Don Corleone now?

I think it's just the hand you kiss. Or, if you're Tony Blair, your own thumb. I expect he had his fingers crossed at the time, and got confused.

having to kiss her ring.

More on Corbyn and her Maj's ring

Jeremy Corbyn takes a Ford Galaxy to the palace to swear allegiance to the Queen

His day began not in the splendour of the palace, but in the rather less intimidating setting of the Caterpillars Pre-School in Crawley.

No kneeling was enforced, but even here Mr Corbyn could not avoid ceremonial gesticulation. As the class began to sing Incy Wincy Spider, he knew what protocol required: his hands, too, became a spider climbing up and up the spout. He even appeared to know the words.

"He even appeared to know the words"

Mother. Fucker.

Lost my vote.

It was Tony Benn who kissed his own thumb. Blair would've happily kissed Brenda's arse.

"The Resistance" gleefully agreeing with Cameron at the moment.

ABRAHAM Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
We all know how well that ended..........

Jeremy Corbyn's Facebook chat with the press

 

[J Ed]

That's a cute pretend exchange but it could have been a lot funnier if it included some fauxcilist bollocks from the Graunid and the Blu $$$cabsman

 

[killer b]

The blu $$$cabsman? Surely the crown of shit pun altered name has finally been seized from zanu-lie-bore. Christ.

 

[J Ed]

I thought it would be cute for it to evolve along with its evolving editorial stance

 

[belboid]

ahh, it's taken me nine minutes to work out what the hell it means

Be proud, you've broken a record that's stood for at least 10 years.

 

[teqniq]

Well for all the negative press and unattributed remarks Corby seems to be doing better than Cameron in the leadership ratings. Of course this could say just as much about Cameron as anything else.
