Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

I'd have Hilary Benn right up there.
Typical. I think you'd really prefer this man.

every time it seems like there might be a chance of something other than tedious back and forth with this bellend, someone pokes him again. it's fucking dull.
 
find tweets by 80% of those who voted corbyn expressing the same regret and you will be correct in saying this is 'typical' of 'corbynistas'. Until then it's just more of the same disingenuous bullshitting by a bitter blairite.
tbh, the moment someone starts flinging around terms like "Corbynista" without irony, I start getting suspicious that there's an agenda (and that's as true of someone talking about "Cameronites" or "Blairites").

There's nothing wrong with having an agenda, so long as you're upfront about it, though. What's made this thread interesting for me, as a somewhat disinterested observer, is watching people debate in a civilised way without fucking the thing up with covert agendas. Or has, until now.
 
It isn't typical of anything you tit, its just some random fucking twitter conversation :D

Now, how about offering up some actual political opinions and then robustly defending them?

Another case of MarkyMarrk shaping the evidence to fit his thesis.

Anyway, he's a Blairite/moderate/"sensible" Labour. He doesn't have any political opinions except the old my way or the highway schtick. Perhaps he was Peter Mandelson's wank sock in a past life?

MarkyMarrk's problem is that hardly anything he's retailing on here is (his own) original thinking, it's just simplistic nose-thumbing and chest-thumping rendered into "talking points".
Find a forum, facebook page or twitter stream that's done by a "moderate", and you see the same sort of quasi-incestuous mutual congratulation and hatred and contempt for "the other" that you'll also see on websites such as FreeRepublic. It's not exactly edifying to see, but it amusing to anyone who isn't wearing political blinkers.

The Labour right can't be upfront about their agenda. Going back to the public saying "we want to carry on where the Tories leave off, but we'll do it with a smile on our faces" won't play, and they know it.
So instead they're utilising the very meme coined by the Establishment to corral Ed Miliband - they're projecting a pall of "far-leftism" onto someone whose leftism is both Parliamentarian and moderate. If Corbyn were as far left as some of "the resistance" and the media are happy to claim, he'd eschew Parliament for revolutionary activity, and if (as others claim) he's an entryist, then he's a sleeper who's played a convincing role for 40 years. They realise that if they can turn Corbyn into a folk devil, they can subvert his leadership. The problem is that they don't appear to realise that the folk devil of the powerful is often the folk angel of the ordinary people.

Can you try this without the homophobia please? It is objectionable and beneath you (I hope. I suggest so on the limited evidence I have).
 
for does it not say in the good book 'the devil rides a clapped out bike and comes bearing a flask of tea'?

And that "verily he shall pretend to expose the corruption in the temple by not expelling the priests who join the maquis".
What a bastard, and how prescient was the good book!!!
 
There is no homophobia, except in your head. I could have said you were Margaret Thatcher's knicker gusset to achieve the same meaning - that your opinions are neoliberal dribblings.

But you didn't, and wouldn't. And the reason you didn't and wouldn't is because of not-very-well-hidden homophobia.
