Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[Cid]

I don't think I said anything about school did I?

I mean the school to uni transition doesn't leave much room for experience of the world.

 

[butchersapron]

It's the specific uni + access to (oxbridge journo) Guardian (on numerous occasions now) + work experience at the house of commons. Oddly enough though, that person seems the most grounded of the lot in that piece - and i've read some good things by/about her this morning.

Real person doesn't match up to lazy stereotype, shock, horror.

Where's the lazy stereotype? That she has some sensible views doesn't make the statement I highlighted any less ridiculous.

Who is it that doesn't live in a "bubble"? If by "bubble" we mean a life experience limited by the experiences and individuals we are surrounded by?

 

[two sheds]

Yep I'd say just about everyone in the UK lives in a bubble if we're comparing that to many countries.

It's the specific bubble - the goldsmiths/oxbridge/guardian/commons/intern nexus we're talking about here.

So what if he's addicted to heroin - we all take drugs don't we?

 

[treelover]

Yeah, it was the Goldsmiths politics alumni (seems to be a lot of them about in this world - at least two in this article alone) doing work experience at the HoC complaining about someone else being in a bubble.

That Goldsmiths - the British home of screeching identarianism - seems to be providing so many of the spokespeople for Momentum gives me some cause for concern, must say...

Lots of workshops based on intersectionalism at the World Transformed Event

its always goldsmiths

 

[Bernie Gunther]

So I had a weird experience the other day.

Got a call from a posh bloke who was jabbering like he was coked to the eyeballs, said he represented the Corbyn campaign, wanting to know how I'd voted. I told him I thought it was a secret ballot and he said 'well yes, it is, I expect you voted for Owen Smith'

Then he gibbered at me about far-left grouplets most of whom I'd not heard of, even on here, and about why he was a 'Corbynista' despite being a private landlord, until I politely asked him to go away and stop bothering me.

The not much missed maurice picarda i expect.

Can you prove this happened btw? I'm not doubting you at all Bernie, but can you prove it?

Well, if I wanted to tie this identity to my real one I could prove I received a call, but that's about all really.

Most of us don't claim to speak for people outside our own bubbles, though.

I asked where my vote was again today (deadline Wednesday) and got an automatic reply:


Don’t worry if it is several days before you hear from us, we will get to your email, it will not affect your eligibility to vote and you do not need to follow this up.

What side do you think he was on? Confused. Perhaps he was calling from C4 ahead of tonight's Dispatches?

Is there a massive game changing expose on the way then?

 

[Reiabuzz]

It doesn't paint a pretty picture

 

[butchersapron]

Have you seen the dispatches program? If so, how?

 

[andysays]

There's a write-up here, including some footage.

It doesn't seem to me to be anything too earth-shattering, but maybe C4 has embargoed the really juicy stuff and it will only be shown when the programme goes to air

Or maybe Reiabuzz is making shit up they don't know about. Given their past efforts this is odds on.

I would say that's certainly a strong possibility

Summary here:
The Battle for The Labour Party: Channel 4 Dispatches - Channel 4 - Info - Press
Couldn't be arsed reading beyond the few paragraphs, but it was entirely predictable. So much so that you could do a bingo card on it: far left - check; entryism - check; Kinnock - check; Trotskyist - check; plot - check; take over - check; extremist - check....

 

[Reiabuzz]

Yes, 'they' have seen it. No, nothing groundbreaking - nothing that wasn't previously known about Corbyn and momentum anyway. TBH, pointless wasting resources on it.

 

[DotCommunist]

huff article has insinuations of misuse of funds. Nothing over momentum hating all jewish people though, perhaps they forgot that one

Were you not aware this was going to air tonight? Seriously?

Can you answer my question please?

And no, i had no idea.

What was your question?
