Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[quimcunx]

I've not got Netflix, but I imagine Bambi to be a maudlin melodrama. The bit I've seen is where he (she?) learns how to ice skate with a rabbit called Thumper.

spoiler alert. the bit where his mum twists her ankle running away from the hunter and has to go stay with her sister happens much later in the film than I thought. I thought that happened and the scenes we would see on Disney club were the attempts of his woodland chums to bring him up in her absence.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

It is really pretty similar to Antichrist.... same vibe.

One of the opening scenes has Bambi as a new born child with all the animals crowding around to look at him admiringly. The owls fly over to look at him. This is almost a biblical nativity scene and we are told that he will become a prince when he grows up.

Someone's not happy with Connor Mcginn

 

[danny la rouge]

I would imagine, North of the Tweed it would be NC?

You're obsessed.

I particularly liked the endnote.

 

[killer b]

Yes!

and then he looks at the camera and says CHAOS REIGNS.

I know it's pointless expecting the graun to report anything accurately, but I've looked at the grauniad app again this morning and I can't find any mention of Champion returning to labour front bench. When you compare this to the full headlines with pictures and rolling news ticker and accompanying Toynbee pronouncements that heralded the resignations, it bears a tremendous similarity to the sort of page 15 apology byline after an a front page sensation beloved of the tabloids.

Owen Smith questioning Corbyn's patriotism has however made the front 'page.' I've been having a fairly long running debate with a mate about whether Corbyn is shit or not, it's been a gift recently to just answer his claims for the inefficacy (is that a word?) of Corbyn with 'Owen Smith.'

Think Champion was mentioned yesterday, way down the list though as you say.

If one positive has come out of all this it's in the amount of people who've seen the Guardian for what it is and turned their back on it.

Unreigns, hang on.

Yeah, it was buried within a blog, it didn't seem to merit an article of its own. The non reporting of events feels more insidious than the continual opinion pieces from yer Freedland's and Toynbee's. At least they stimulate a debate, but simply not reporting something that doesn't suit is quietly very sinister.

It was reported, but part of Andrew Sparrows politics update I think

 

[treelover]

There is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repenteth than any number of three quidders going in to bat on Twitter. Jeremy 4:17

There are hundreds and hundreds of posts on her FB page welcoming her back, so much for bullying misogenists.

Not a mention at all.

 

[Sprocket.]

Testing the water for Ed Milliband.

 

[tangerinedream]

Not a mention at all.

It was on *a* blog on the graun app yesterday but it wasn't exactly prominent, I had to go to the UK politics page to find it. A search of articles today shows nothing.

I don't know why I'm even moderately surprised.

 

[coley]

Makes a number of assumptions though, are the "middle classes" the main supporters of JC?

 

[killer b]

Yes, he even says in the article he's making that assumption rather than getting bogged down with the question. Did you even read it?

FWIW it did appear briefly as a front page item, probably the title of the day's liveblog at that time. Not that it counts for much - thoroughly shit journalism.

They had Diane abbot said return of the empire for a whole day. Not the liveblog bit either. The lead item.

And where were the messages of goodwill when she resigned eh? That sort of cold shouldering from the corbynites is yet another example of their thuggery.

 

[nino_savatte]

David Osland on Facebook earlier.

More on the Socialist Health Association ballot rigging attempt yesterday. SHA now saying 'dodgy votes on both sides' but about four times as many suspect votes for Smith as Corbyn. This should be a serious news story. I'd try and sell it somewhere myself, but too busy today.

Have you any evidence for that, even anecdotal comment from people who have made this move?

 

[YouSir]

Yes, I've spoken to people who seemed genuinely shocked at the Guardian's behaviour and weren't buying it any more - still seem to read online though. Also people on FB who seem to be relying more on The Canary, for better or worse. All anecdotal though, I'm not speculating on their circulation numbers.

hardly anyone actually buys it, but all these people are still clicking angrily I reckon

Angry clicking is a step up from smug clicking, right?

Fair enough, a pity about the Canary though which cannot be any better than The Guardian. I understand that they don't pay their so called 'reporters' at all. Not sure how this business model works.

Loads of ways not to do the Guardian model surely? Maybe not so many if you imagine yourself to be a newspaper or something.

I thought they paid them by clicks, which is why everything is so SENSATIONAL and uncritical. The Canary is terrible.
