Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Wilf]

Just posting this here so we can all laugh at him:



"bourgeois courts"

AH-HAHAHAHA!

McTernan, you salty bastard.

Sadly, another far left Labourite with no respect for the rule of law.

Everyone should apply for a £25 refund.

There's fuck all chance this lot have the capacity to work out whether you actually paid it or not.

I can see opportunist businesses being set up: 'think you might have been mis-sold Labour Party Supportership?

 

[Libertad]

Or any understanding of the irony of his using an IWW poster as his Twitter avatar. Cunt.

 

[teuchter]

That doesn't make sense.

You asked me to imagine what you mean, instead of just explaining what you mean. That doesn't make much sense.

Winds me up everytime I see a tweet from him.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'm imagining the labour coupists and their legal team, glum faces and stools in the brewery with nary a drink between them

for fucks sake. Three, twenty five or one pound fifty. No ta.

Smith has got himself in short-medium term lose/lose situation. The lesser loss is to stick it through until formal defeat as it could potentially mark him as big beast and first challenger on the paper next time around. That could backfire though and he'd instead been seen as an opportunistic chiseller with a poor tactical grasp of the party and wider issues. To pull out will ensure this is the case.

Given how they have acted so far, I think there has to be very good odds on "pull out".

On the basis that thus far when presented with two bad options they've plumped for the worse of the two?

 

[eoin_k]

Is it me or does Owen Smith's social media team seem to favour the avalanche of garbled drivel approach to twitter?

 

[Wilf]

Maybe Labour need a Bond Guarantee Scheme - 'pay your £25 safe in the knowledge you'll get it back if the NEC fucks up'.

Labour are increasingly looking like some dodgy lettings agency: yeah, I know it wasn't on the inventory, but you've lost a teaspoon, so...

Peter noone? That's a good offer. The new album was surprisingly good. Seriously.

Transact? They have a program running stuff that just changes words in a set-piece don't they?

Well, I've certainly got a sneaking suspicion he now wishes Sore Like an Eagle had got more nominations than him. It would have been humiliating, but he wouldn't have been left thinking, 'oh, sweet fuck, not another 2 months of this'.

It's a very, very light breeze away from a good parody.

Stuff like this...



...only needs the mere passage of time to make for a decent joke.

must be pleased with how lightly she's got off

Who is actually respoinsible for the legal challenge? Chair of the NEC?

The coup-ists have massively fucked this up - support for corbyn will surely only grow as a result of their serial incompetance and extremely damaging behvoir - as well as the financial and reputational cost to the labour party. I imagine a lot of long term people within the party who are not neccesarily Corbyn supporters will furious with the way they have behaved.

Sort of, yes.

Is there any chance trade union members could claim the subs they have paid into the Labour party since they joined?

 

[two sheds]

They can keep my £25.

My favourite bit of all this is that the people who are pulling the party apart are still blaming Corbyn for the poor Labour polling figures.

 

[DotCommunist]

its a display of contempt for internal party democracy that offends everyone As for Owen 'happening dad' Smith, well the lols continue. Theeres one who will claim Prodigy but his car stereo has only a Scorpion cd in it

Urban's advert free status is a big deal to a lot of people who post here. We all know editor could have coined it in from this site but chose not to. For posters to then stick up a load of adverts because they're too lazy to disable them is fucking rude IMO.

Totally agree!

Androu is a twerp - had an absolute liberalmungous meltdown re : brexit, decides it's all Corbos fault, then exposed the fact he had no idea whatsoever that Corbyn had quietly opposed the EU for 30'years - just not sure how / why anyone would take this dude seriously ( do they ? Who is he ? )

I like "liberalmungous", and shall be expropriating it as needed.

'Rigging a leadership vote is very much like making love to a tightly defined and much reduced party membership'

 

[Wilf]

Since 1900.

 

[Wilf]

If Owen Smith did withdraw from the leadership it would probably leave the party at least morally bound to offer the return of all the £25s. I don't think he will given that, on balance, withdrawing makes him look an even bigger fool than sticking it out till September and getting crushed in the vote. However since his faction seem keen to utterly fuck the party there must be a few neurons in his reptilian brain that like the idea.

 

[Combustible]

This might be a silly question but the judge said that the claimants must have their £25 refunded, is it actually clear that Labour are legally obliged to give votes to all the recent members, or just refund the £25 to those recent members who signed up as registered supporters.

 

[DotCommunist]

I dunno Wilf, I know little about Smith but what I have seen shows me someone motivated by a lot of self belief. I think he buys his own shit iyswim. On that grounds hhe would be more likely to go 'fuck you all I will win'. Rather than deciding to damage Corbyn/party chances by pulling out of the contest. Ego is something I always forget with politicians. Theirs are MASSIVE
