Not sure what I think of this beetroot socialism, reminds me a bit too much of school dinners...
 
i definitely think that corbyns enemies have massively overplayed their hand (again). the initial story caused a fair bit of pain for labour, but the likes of staines, the mail and john woodcock piling in to lecture him on meeting the wrong type of jew, plus shit like the newsnight backdrop farago just further cements the narrative of the establishment being out to get him.
Which will unite waverers behind corbyn and leave a good many ordinary "non political" (as in not avid politics nerds) people shaking their heads and wandering why they hate him so much.

Corbyn and his resilience against the overplayed hands of his political enemies has already reached such proportions that my imagination knowns almost no bounds when it comes to the grand finale.

Perhaps a near-General Election press photo opportunity with Corbyn on a beach. The right-wing press are happy vultures, they've had the ground underneath the beach fracked in order to increase the chances of Corbyn falling into a wave. And yes, its all going according to plan, especially as Owen Smith is somewhat distracting Corbyns attention by attempting to setup a beachhead using a small army of inflatable Izzards. Stephen Kinnock couldnt make it due to his pedalo suffering an unexpected loss of momentum, but apart from that the stage is set. The moment arrives, Corbyn slips, a million ultra-slow-mo captures of the scene begin. Only for Moses to get god to part the sea right where Corbyn falls. Tune in next week to find out what John McDonnell then does with a rather large sandcastle, constructed by many hands and immune to the machinations of the right-wing press.
 
I've learnt a whole lot from this thread that I never knew before :) :cool:

I'm also less depressed about the whole business than I was a few days ago. I felt too ignorant/uninformed about it all to post anything then, anyway I still needed to read the whole thread and all the links.

Sorry -- it's "not all about me" obvs :oops: :oops: ... but I just wanted to thank the better informed on Urban for teaching me stuff.

whole thing seems overwhelming at times, an incessant shitshow, with wrong un's coming from every direction- but watching the likes of Jewdas cut through it all, having a bloody field day, armed only with an m.o. that seems to amount to 'good, radical folk, telling it like they see it, keeping it respectful, + bowing to no one's agenda' has got to give everyone a bit of hope imo.
 
I fucking detest beetroot, and don't believe Israel has a right to exist.

Fuck.

I think I am objectively an anti-semite.

No. Work through 'Israel' as a construct, 'Semite / Semitic' as a construct, and even before you get to 'Beetroot' - work out 'historicism'.

Before you congratulate and kiss yourself.

;)
 
Jacob Reece Mogg is now the bookies favourite for next PM. It's been Corbin and HIGNFY Bojo pretty much neck-and-neck since the election. My local MP is a cunt, so I shall write to the editor of the Beano to voice my displeasure.
 
I bought a beetroot and strawberry smoothie for the first time last week. It was lovely. They always say the revolutionary 'spark' will come from the unexpected.
 
Yep but for those that are not following the ins and outs of this story i.e. pretty much the whole country, Corbyn will still be shorthand for an IRA supporting, anti semite vegetarian Czech spy who hates this proud nation etc

There's not really any further mileage for those attacking him in that though is there - anyone who thinks that will have thought that before. 'Pretty much the whole country' seems to me to be a massive exaggeration of who that is though.

A couple of weeks ago at a rugby match (Cardiff Blues if you're interested) I was told, "I can't vote for Corbyn, he's an IRA sympathiser."

I've previously been told that he "hates the army" - that was as a result of the "dancing at the Cenotaph" rubbish.

Mud sticks with some people, and it's difficult to counter. Lots of people just aren't that interested in politics, and from headline skimming and repetition of a number of key lies will have a picture of Corbyn as a Britain-hating, terrorist lover.

In the run-up to the last election it was when Labour policies started to hit the headlines that everyone realised how mainstream and popular Corbynism (if you want) actually is!

Meanwhile, something is bubbling up about the Manchester Arena bomber's family having had support from UK security services while Theresa May was Home Secretary; and Boris Johnson is "being Boris", which would be fine if it meant someone was personally eccentric while delivering fantastic performance, but in this case "being Boris" means being psychotically ambitious and completely unprincipled and dishonest in support of that ambition.
