Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[J Ed]

I have read it, or at least in part - cannot manage that much shit in one sitting - to add to a complaint to the Beeb about this particular wankstain. In particular I have been following the links given in his article and have yet to find one that says what Cohen says or implies about it. Starting to feel pretty frightened for the world because I doubt there will be anyone with a national platform to call him out on this.

The rise of post-fact journalism seems to be coinciding with the rise of articles complaining about 'post-fact voters'. I wonder if they can figure out the cause and effect.

From an unnamed Labour source in the Guardian:

“Angela needs to be very careful,” said the source. “It is not a question of who deserves to be leader; it is about the best possible candidate to beat Jeremy.”

Priceless. Says it all really.

So what's that about wanting someone that can lead?

Personally as someone who takes a pessimistic view of the future I have been won over to Owen Smith, going to go and canvass for him later so that I can do my bit in working for the inexorable march towards total nuclear annihilation

Do you need folding table advice?

Kill em all

For some reason Smith esp but Eagle also building up to it, they have decided to try and make trident the key battleground of their anti-Corbyn campaigns - probably because the issue has historically worked wonders for the labour right, from Bevan (i know he wasn't on the right, but his naked into the conference chamber rhetoric marked a significant victory for them) to Foot and Benn being attacked through CND and unilateralism in the 80s. And Marr is very happy to go along with that , of course. Does trident, beyond jobs, have that same popular resonance today? I'm not so sure.

 

[Biscuitician]

Pro-austerity, pro-nuclear annihilation

What's not to love?

He's up for privatising the NHS too.

 

[Casually Red]

Scary as fuck that sort of behaviour. Worse than Hitler.

In fairness to Hitler even he didn't ban harrumphing . At most it would have been a warning from the Gestapo that harrumphing had been observed , and a note was being made of it . But banning harrumphing outright would have been a bridge too far .
Bit like a smoking ban . He'd have liked to ban it but didn't dare .

Blair however banned smoking in pubs . And now the great British harrumphing tradition is next on his minions list .political correctness gorn maaaad .

OMG Eagle feels 'bullied'. This is a woman who can callously vote for children to be immolated by bombs and yet a brick through a window constitutes 'bullying'.

Here's something that may be relevant and which - maybe? IANAL - might set a precedent for what can and cannot be considered 'bullying' during internal political disputes within an organization:

Nipsa: Tribunal criticises union in 'communist' dispute - BBC News

The deal is this: the Northern Ireland Public Service Association was hit by a dispute between the broad left faction within it, and a couple of followers of the CPI (described in the story as 'Marxist Leninist'). The union then argued that this couple, although elected as officers and delegates of their branch were not eligible for membership of the union - hence the case.

Key point: "It added that name-calling or trolling on social media is not sufficient to show political difference nor is "alleged adherence to Trotsky's 1938 Transitional Program"."

 

[ViolentPanda]

The 'leaving early' bit is just a bullshit story to give Erdobyn some cover for a deal, isn't it? He gets to be in leadership contest but in return the party gets to disbar a significant number of his acolytes. It was a Granita moment.

Fuck off, you Tory cunt, with your "Erdobyn".

 

[ViolentPanda]

is about as passive aggressive as you can get. 10 year automatic suspension, right there.

Strategic farting is the way forward!

200 pages of pure intimidation.

Surely nows the time to accept the inevitable?

With which voters? Members of the Labour Party or the general population? I can see it working with the latter but how could it work with the former after they have previously voted for Corbyn?

 

[J Ed]

Also why is no one pointing out that Owen 'I will revoke the referendum/keep UK voting till it gets question right' Smith would wipe the Labour vote out across Northern England?

I'm not sure it was opposition to trident that stung it for corbyn at all, more the not Blair etc stuff. There were rumours last week that he's softening his opposition anyway, with the review or whatever it is on the horizon.

Think he is pitching to the PLP that they will be safe if they dump Eagle. He can't possibly defeat jc by making it about austerity and trident. Maybe that's not his main objective.

 

[J Ed]

Chris Bryant is an obvious idiot, I think we can all safely conclude that

 

[Vintage Paw]

That eye rolling thing I talked about a few pages back... apparently it's old news. It happened back in April because 2 right-wing factions within the CLP had been getting really aggro with each other, to the point of actual fisticuffs...

I did a George Eaton

 

[Vintage Paw]

I do, of course, fully support the banning of right-wing eye rolling.

 

[Idris2002]

Here's a piece arguing that the bricking of Angela Eagle's window was not all it appeared to be:

Angela Eagle LIED about her office window being vandalised by a Corbyn-supporting ‘bully’

 

[Vintage Paw]

Yes, apparently it was in a shared stairwell.

It could have been anyone, frankly. It could have been a kid, it could have been a random vandal, it could have been an attempted break-in, it could have been a disgruntled LP member who supports Corbyn... who the fuck knows? What's important is that we use it to show Corbyn is actually Darth Vader.

 

[DotCommunist]

if these people don't know how to cope with eye rolling how the fuck will they get on with people like me making the wanker handsign and doing fart noises with my hand under my armpit.

But you'd imagine that a disgruntled LP member would know her actual office is round the back.

Is there a photo of the broken glass outside the window? I've looked but nothing convincing. That you'd think would be a Sherlock Holmes moment.

 

[DotCommunist]

'the thing is, and its something thats been bothering me sir, I checked with all the brickmakes in England and none of them recall selling a brick of that type. Its these little details, troubling me sir.'

'Architectural salvage is a lucrative business luitenant. Many a fine brick has been had from a building site in skegness'
*hand on forehead*
'Of course sir, of course.'

*makes out like he's leaving*

'Just one more question, clear something for me. My wife, she dislikes shared acces to places, always values her own space. They say this was a shared stairwell?'

'I fail to see what relevance this has luitenant'

etc

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Check this big pile of steaming bullshit out. Fuck me!

This story about how Jeremy Corbyn treated an MP with cancer is truly astonishing

He brought her divorce papers while she was on her sick bed? No, wait, that was Newt Gingrich.

And it happened in a different country.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

The first Indy comment sums it up perfectly. Doesn't take the brains of an arch bishop either tbh. Stroll on!

What is it? I can't see the comments, I think my ad blocking software stops them.
