Head waiter at the restaurant the Bully boys smashed up the night before. He's looking very glum because he has to try get the buggers to pay for the damage.Ahem...

have to admit, not my own.Neat work brogdale.
Been away from the interwebz for a while now but if you genuinely think that David Miliband would have been less effective than his ridiculously hapless brother and then, beyond that, think that Corbyn could do better and actually win, then you are a prize moron marked by stunning stupidity.

Aren't all prize morons marked by stunning stupidity? How else would they win the prize?
What is this a picture of? Also, who?Ahem...

Are you seriously unfamiliar with the original version of that (slightly) altered image? You've not seen that before?
Is it the one of Cameron et al at Oxford? I've seen it before. I was worried it was actually Corbyn at university. I still don't really know who the circled person is meant to be but if it's a joke it definitely won't get any funnier by being explained.

Oh.
8155, If you have just returned to the UK from a very long sojourn on the other side of the world, out of reach of the mass media then I suggest you trawl through all of the Urban75 political posts since the period when you left. In only a few weeks you will be up to speed.

So many particulars. So many questions.
the thing is though, loads of people are lining up to support c-byn in a manner entirely unlike the meagre support either of the millibrothers had. Its not about wether he can win this leadership battle (and it looks like he could) or even if he could win a GE (I have no idea). The question rather is would he be capable/allowed to enact his very mild social democratic reforms if in power? I think Syzria's mauling may give some clue as to the answer to that one.

why though? do you think he couldn't actually win? I don't see why not. The man has proved capable hands for a very long time, this isn't some newly minted firebrand (lol) nor is he advocating anything incredibly radical. Its a mark of how well you swallowed all the right wing rhetoric that you've called him hard left in the past, he is not hard left in any way at all. Stop reading papers and start listening to people. Cos there is a lot of them nodding along thoughtfully to corbynite ideas (which aren't his but merely a continuation of old labs keynsian stuff)
Corbyn's policy platform is, to be frank, bizarre. People's quantitative easing is really special.
Please can someone explain that picture now because it's annoying me not knowing.8155, If you have just returned to the UK from a very long sojourn on the other side of the world, out of reach of the mass media then I suggest you trawl through all of the Urban75 political posts since the period when you left.

its nothing that hasn't been done in the past. Nor is it bizarre. I'm no corbynite but you haven't a scooby if you think his rebranding of old ideas in modern language is something truly strange. It is not. None of this is shriekingly weird. It's just old labour governance.

what i like abour you is your refusal to let your inevitable embarrassment make you give your posts any thought
I believe it's the Bullingdon Club pic that features Cameron et al, but with Corbyn's face superimposed onto one of the chaps.
Your thinking is only surpassed by your eloquence.

Your content-and-argument-free stream of posts here are "really special", but not in a good way.

rumour? or do you have a source for that?
JC meeting in Colchester sold out, nearly 600 seats, isn't that a squaddie town?
