Labour leadership

Gorby sold the revolution out! ill-fated nickname!

 

[DotCommunist]

this is just an aside because of the old labour nostalgia I don't have having never known that party. In what became known as the battle of cable street Labour local organised a seperate protest, some miles away, and left the residents and anti fascists to fend for themselves against mosely's boot boys. Which they did with great aplomb.

Now this was Labour at its heights of what people hope corbyn might return it to- its roots. And yes 'its got to better than the tories' is a good rejoinder, 'we can force them leftwards from the inside' not so much, we'll see how corbyn fares. Just worth remembering that the labour party has traditionally acted as a negotiator between the working class and capital. Not more than that. No red dawn.

Graun continue to ramp up The Fear. At least three anti JC articles on the front page alone. Can't be arsed to link to them anymore.

I've put a tenner on Corbynchev today. Gonna be checking out the result with trepidation. Just wish I'd punted on when he was 100-1 but then it's a bit like being prescient on Bitcoin or something and mining a whole load of it just months before it went stratospheric.

graun continues to ramp up The Boredom with another three articles about the election which are devoid of real content

Life is first boredom, then fear. Or maybe it's the other way round.

Lots of interesting people now joining LP, inc Pete Wylie

btw, just noticed his daughter is called 'mersey'

taking it a bit too far?

I once attended a wedding Pete Wylie and his family were at. I offered them a lift from the church to the reception on the other side of town, but there wasn't a lot of room in the car so I had to do a couple of trips. I took Pete along with my family, but then I had to go back and ferry across Mersey.

My understanding was that of all the people in that story, danny was the one person who didn't need a taxi

She was the best dancer at the wedding. Nobody had Mersey beat.

I've seen that skull-showing-through-the-face visage a few times on heroin addicts 20 years older than me who do the on-off thing with it.

Blairs must be caused through existential guilt.

These Pete Wylie/Professional Scouser jokes make me wail, big time. You could call my response a mighty wah.

The piece that accompanies that pic is a good laugh:

Singing sensation Duffy was there too. She very impressed by Wylie junior's dancing. She kept asking for her to do some more. She wouldn't take no for an answer. I remember to this day her shouting across to Pete, "you've got me begging you for Mersey!"

No idea, but going by my past record he/she will turn out to be dodgy in some way.

I feel I can still hold my head up high. And not be afraid of the dark.

James Bloodworth goes for the culpability-by-association angle. Despicable and desperate.

Then there is Corbyn’s apparent proximity to antisemitism. While I genuinely believe that Corbyn does not have an antisemitic bone in his body, he does have a proclivity for sharing platforms with individuals who do; and his excuses for doing so do not stand up.
