Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[cantsin]

interesting stuff from Chakraborty on the new Lab Left , anti HDV Haringey Council - some early causes for concern showing tbh :

How would Corbynism work in government? Here’s a clue | Aditya Chakrabortty

Welcome to Haringey

 

[Pickman's model]

I have hated haringey council for many many years, they've always been shit. They were shit during the poll tax and they're shit now

I think it's fairly predictable rather than concerning - I could tell you similar tales from my own flagship corbynite council. The reality of council funding means that even left wing councils feel compelled to carry out all sorts of shit decisions to 'balance the books'.

which council is that ? ( thought Haringey was the only Corbynite council for now / until next may ?)

 

[killer b]

Preston. There's quite a few where the left is the controlling strand - Salford for one.

Islington?

I've only seen two pieces by Aditya Chakraborty, plus that embarrassing performance on Newsnight earlier this week - really awful stuff; another nepotism job at the Guardian, 3rd rate rubbish.

there's degrees of shitness, and a council that was on the verge of selling off £2.4bn worth of public assets to private profiteers, many of whom individual councillors had close relationships with, is very different from one that was elected largely on a platform to halt that sell off, and so far, has at the very least, done just that.

Where it goes from there is another question, and can understand the reservations of committed revolutionaries everywhere re : the future. (But would still like any feedback from those revos as to what their stratgegy was for stopping HDV, outside of the 'vote Momentum / Left Labour' option they've been so disdainful of).

tbh the difference in shitness is between shit you step in and shit you pass by

Probz shouldn't bother asking, but what are you actually on about here ?

I like that sentence, esp. the first half of it.

 

[danny la rouge]

The first half I like. I like the first half. A lovely phrase for the sentence. That's what I said when I saw it. I said ‘A lovely phrase for the sentence.’ I've got nothing against the first phrase. The trouble is — the second half of the sentence.

There are two types of people in this world: people who don’t explain other people's gags and who shall therefore be suffered to live.

 

[imposs1904]

Hey, I was just pleased with myself for getting it.

 

[Wilf]

I went with a subtle 'like'. In fact I do that when I get the joke and sometimes when I don't. I've had a reasonable hit rate so far.

 

[teqniq]

I dunno who is managing their media productions but this demonstrates a certain flair that I imagine the tories could only dream of. Now if only that would translate into votes...

 

[skyscraper101]

That is beyond shit.

don't ask questions you won't like the answers to

 

[teqniq]

That is beyond shit.

Heh, I thought it was rather good but i guess that's rather obvious. Still any opinion on this is going to be subjective.

 

[cantsin]

That is beyond shit.

how / in what way ?

simple msg, based on irrefutable budgetary data, delivered kinda how you 'd expect ( + with less sense of class antagonism than it might have been , eg ; the more snarky Momentum one from the summer / all the posh folk sat in their garden etc)

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I wouldn't call it shit - not in the context of political ads anyway, let alone "things the Labour party has done on social media".

The voiceovered dub is so badly out of whack with the actual shot it’s laughable. Plus the ‘comedy Tory’ character and school level humour out of what should be a bang to rights anti govt message. Why? To appeal to da yoof? Yeah, cos that’s really who they need to win over.

Americans probably. "fire department"

Yes the dub was strange. How about the content - choice of what items to concentrate on, and the comparative figures they give?

As with the majority of video users I didn’t have the sound on.
