Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[not-bono-ever]

delighted to see the google Columbos infest the rest of the internet as well as here.

I was about to note the same thing- it’s a terrible bit of cyberspace kojakery

I have measured the distance between the graves on google earth, and can only conclude it is a resigning matter.

'Our reporter paced it out and he's got really short legs'.

All that cosmopolitanism rootlessness. Wears them down.

 

[NoXion]

Disgusting and desperate shit from the Mail, as usual. Where's their outrage over the UK government selling weapons to the Saudis that are then used to blow up kids? Of course they'd keep silent about that.

Dunno if this has been posted before, but it's an interesting analysis/commentary:

Corbyn’s open secret – anyabike – Medium

It's not quite as simple as that though is it? It's a newsworthy story in itself - whether or not a potential future PM laid a wreath for terrorists. I read the article with initial scepticism, but there does seen to be a case to answer, particularly with regard to the original story. Which it now appears he's trying to do, albeit not wholly convincingly when you take into account the Morning Star article.

 

[Raheem]

Hate to say it, but if this is accurate he's got a big problem.

 

[bimble]

Why would this thing if true be a big problem? The people who love magic grandpa won’t change their view of him, he was just going along with the ceremony to be polite to his hosts, he didn’t know, etc.

after 'corbyn ruined christmas' all these other stories are a let down

Why?

It's not them that really matters, though. What he's done is elevated the story from being a Daily Mail non-news rehash by commenting on it. He's also changed his story and he's doing a hazy memory routine which looks shady and invites further questions, and so the story will not even crescendo and then disappear.

I hate corbyn, politically and personally. I don't buy any of it. But you really are an anus.

Ouch.

 

[Wilf]

Suspect it's a bit of a venn diagram: 'I was there mainly for that, some others may have been there for something different, we were all in the same place for something or other' (even if the Mail think he was in the wrong place). It's a non-story for the backbencher of 2014, it's just about a story for the leader of 2018 who now has to play by the rules of the game.

Amazing bit of coverage of Kinnock being told to STFU by his much much smarter wife, WTF did she see in him

They're EU socdem royalty innit. They probably met interning in glenys kinnock's office in Brussels, like half of the rest of their milieu

 

[killer b]

(actually I think she was at save the children, like the other half)

I thought they met at the College of Europe which is one of those type of things.

First came across it years ago when the son of my union's General Secretary was there. It all seemed a bit dodgy -- scholarships abounded (paid for by European governments or the EU or something) but the only people who seemed to know about it were people in that milieu.

 

[killer b]

yeah, that's right. there's a whole circuit of schools, charities, thinktanks, NGOs, charities & politicians offices that breed these fucks, and they all rise through it. Just a parallel class system I guess.

The whole debate on this has been an increasingly depressing expose of how poor almost everyones' comprehension of recent history is.

 

[killer b]

I'm slightly surprised about this - I thought everyone would have got bored of it by now.

Boardmasters crowd nails colours to Labour mast with huge Jeremy Corbyn chant

 

[Gramsci]

People are digging around what Corbyn did years ago.

As agricola says history is important.

Black September rang a bell. I've seen Speilbergs film on Mossad spending years going after the "terrorists". One of his better films.

If there is to be discussion on what terrorism is and why its always wrong fair enough. But this wreath laying news doesn't do that.

After years stuck in refugee camps perhaps "terrorism" was only way to get plight of Palestinians back on world agenda back then?

 

[bimble]

Seriously ? From ‘fake news’ to maybe they had a point when they killed those athletes ?

 

[Gramsci]

Yes seriously.

To add

What I'm saying is look at situation Palestinians found themselves in at that time.

Rather then knee jerk reaction look at the long term history.

 

[Gramsci]

One of Lambeth ex right wing Cllrs reigns over from Labour party over this. They so hate Corbyn. Good riddance. This is Cllr who ridiculed library campaigners in Lambeth.



Thanks again to Tricky Skills keeping an eye on Lambeth Labour Twitter.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Yes seriously.

Surprised to find a pro-castration faction on here.
