Corbyn & Cabinet in the Media

[kebabking]

actually, those Canadians are at it again, going round being entirely relaxed about Greenland, which is next door to Canada, not belonging to Canada, and infact belonging to Denmark - which is, like, a million miles away.

and astonishingly, even the UK can be accused of this appalling indifference to their Nationhood, what with the ever burning insult that is the Faeroe Islands not flying the Union Flag, but instead being part of Denmark. and Denmark is, like, a million miles further away from the Faeroes than the UK is.


OMG, how can this be right?

 

[Spymaster]

Has anyone mentioned the Chagossians yet?

 

[Mr Moose]

so neither churchill nor hitler.

I don't believe any of us will be able to back Mr Churchill until we know more about his position on a number of issues including the coming of a leader called Thatcher.

Much better to open dialogue with this Mr Hitler.

 

[Mr Moose]

Tbf if Corbo wants to take that up he should. No one is going to disagree on the injustice.

 

[Spymaster]

Well quite. That rarely prevents some genius bringing it up as comparable in Falklands debates though.

whats most amusing that those who bring it up seem to get themselves into a position where they support the right of self-determination for the Chagossians but at the same time deny it to the Falkland Islanders. spectacular...

not only that but the uk - astonishingly - tolerates the existence of another polity in the british isles.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Here we have a wonderful insight from a man who really connected with the public throwing his two penneth in!

Corbyn must connect with public to survive says Kinnock - BBC News

Laugh? I nearly did. Kinnock is the foundation stone on which Labour's slide to the right was based. He was about as connected with the public as a piss-stain.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Splendid turn of phrase

Thank you.

these falklands debates get like fucking set piece historical reanactments. Sooner or later some twat will start on about terra nullis and international law etc. No one gives a toss about the falklands.

I could not give less of a fuck about the Falklands but I always thought I was alone. I actually felt guilty writing that.

They belong to Uruguay now, everyone can relax and smoke weed there legally

its a 30 year old row. This is today. They're happy enough in port stanley, its a cheap sabre to rattle for both governments but its so not relevant anymore except to blowhards and propagandists.

Which is why Jeremy Corbyn should stay the fuck away from it rather than poncing into the Argentinian embassy for tea and biscuits.

yeah not one I'd have chosen to bother with at this stage. A ten week war fought when I wasn't even a gleam in the milkmans eye. No-one gives a shit anymore, maybe we could negotiate to share mineral rights in the event of oil or something concillatory like that. Let them borrow the island on weekends and for events.

Quite a lot of people give a shit in fairness, particularly those of a certain age who remember it; probably because along with WW2 it's one of the few conflicts that British forces have been involved in that has no shame attached. Because it doesn't fit into the "murdering British imperialism narrative" that uber-lefties and Nino Savatte try to shovel it's also a historical minefield, which again, is precisely why Corbyn should fuck off out of it.

This has only been raised here because of his recent actions.

and discussed at length. Tedious, nightmarish flashbacks to previous threads on the matter length. On the give-a-shitometer I place it a a lot less, theres not as much jingoism in society as jingoists believe. Silent majority claims etc. Some minor dust up 30 years ago? whose going to still be greasing their poles over that one? certainly not anyone who would be voting cbyn anyway

Uruguay is well known for it's action on smoking and health. Everyone can relax and bake something instead.

Except Corbo. And he's so vain he probably thinks this thread is about him.

The only reason i get involved is because I'm genuinely baffled by the opinions of a lot of people i would otherwise agree with politically on almost everything else

Where do you get that from?

Of the many more accurate criticisms you could make, that one's pretty implausible surely ...

[William of Walworth]

Why a pop at me?

Genuinely didn't know where he was coming from on that.

It's an 'in' to wider defence issues. That's why. It's a proven bad thing - for now - for corbyn. The issue is irrelevant. Just dismissing things because they happened before you were born, or not giving a shit about stuff that happened before you were born because you weren't born is a mugs game. And a short cut to political irrelevancy.

Bad joke soz.

Hadn't even considered if he is vain. He probably is a bit - after all he does actually want to run the state and a bit of rampant self regard is on the person spec. But it's unimportant if he makes a good job of it and shifts some wealth in the right direction.

 

[William of Walworth]

OK missed yet jest. Sorry

i'd have thought trident was by far the better in for that line of attack. It has proven the bigger issue so far (from what media and convos I've had)

Enjoy countryfile tho. Norf Devon this week!

That's been used as well. They're not limited to one thing. And trident is an actual real life ongoing issue. That's one issue here - the other one is your dismissal of it because you weren't born at the time and so this means neither you nor anyone else cares. In that case, what has it become an issue?
