Labour leadership

[Pickman's model]

Anyone here want to hazard a guess about how Corbyn gets into No.10 in 2020?

Any ideas at all???

What it is is what it is. I don't give a shit if the likes of Jones uses it.

"misinformation", or even "disinformation" would sound a lot less like a conspiranoid term of art...

opposes the tories at every turn, exposes and rips to shreds their economic policies, and proposes a raft of policies that resound with the people of the UK resulting in them voting in such numbers as to result in Labour sweeping into government.

via a campaign with double the number of enthusiastic activists to help with it, and a strong social media campaign....

that sort of thing.

I'm in such a good mood on this thread, even Diamond's absurdities are cheering me up.

That he is reduced to spluttering incoherently pleases me greatly.

I've just joined the Labour Party, they're sending me a membership pack in 7-10 days. When can I expect my customary Urban 75 kicking?

If you joined because Jeremy Corbyn is now leader, I would not kick you.
It's nice to see a real human leading them.
Sorry to be a bit pessimistic, but me and a friend were discussing the fact that as Jeremy Corbyn is so left (not a problem to me) it would ensure the tories a third term, because, although Corbyn is gaining more and more suppport as people join, there are still too many people, who are older, own their own homes, and are financially secure under the tories, and often, these are the types of people who walk straight past beggars or people who need help.
There are just too many vast numbers of these people, they are insulated from things like welfare reform, they won't mind taking out health insurance, and many of them will have jobs that pay health care etc.

 

[Zabo]

Nonsense - and why not?

Apparently JC is sending out a Thank You email to everybody. He also wants to know what questions he should ask Camoron.

I would like to know which hand Camoron will now use to masturbate?

Elsewhere. Good timing. Radio 4 Tonight 21:00 hours. Hilary Mantel's French Revolution.

What a terrific day!

Not so sure about that. Many such people now have grown-up children who have little prospect of ever having such security.

'Reduced to'? 'Continues to......as fucking always' surely?

 

[DotCommunist]

No.

I read a convincing argument once that detailed how fearsome the nazi war machine was and how they could have defeated any of the other major powers. Individually. But they took on all comers, so by barabossa they'd fucked it.

I'm all for Corbyn and may even join the party myself, but I still think that socialism is a big minority in this country.

Sounds plausible enough to me but they'd have no chance against today's US military. In fact with developments in weapons/tech you could probably make the case that the modern British military could take them on (well, if it wasn't for all that stuff about having to defy the laws of physics just to come into contact with them).

 

[panpete]

Not so sure about that. Many such people now have grown-up children who have little prospect of ever having such security.

Yeah, they do, but there are still too many of the previous generations still alive, who are insulated and protected.
I agree youngsters have a real bleak prospect to look forward to.
If 'now' was 12th September 2035 I would feel a bit less pessimistic on this issue, because by then, there wont be such a vast swathe of people who are financially secure. Older generations will have died off.
I also realise that there are many very old people who cannot pass anything on to their kids after thier death as all their life savings and assets have been eaten up by private elderly residential care.
I also realise that there are people who are forced to support their younger sons and daughters, financially, and this affects them, but currently, there just seems to be too vast a crowd of people who are more insulated under the tories. I am not talking about the super rich, just people on surburban estates who have no mortgages and dont have to pay rent, and other stuff
I hope I am wrong, I can see points for and against it, it just seems too early right now for me.

Just had an email from Corbyn asking what he should put to Cameron at Wednesday's PMQs

Tell him to call Cameron a cunt and osborn a coke addled sociopath.

 

[Fez909]

I'm all for Corbyn and may even join the party myself, but I still think that socialism is a big minority in this country.

Lucky he's not proposing socialism then, eh?

 

[panpete]

Yeah, tell him to say that the current government we have in power are DANGEROUS and a HAZARD because they are.
Tell him that we don't feel safe under this government.

 

[SpineyNorman]

That he is reduced to spluttering incoherently pleases me greatly.

How can you tell the difference?

 

[Fez909]

Tell him to call Cameron a cunt and osborn a coke addled sociopath.

I will love it if he calls Cameron a cunt. LOVE it.

how big a minority?

 

[two sheds]

Well quite. We can't have our representatives going around voting according to the wishes of their consitituents after all. Next thing you know they'll be voting with their consciences, and at that point you might as well just fly a hammer and sickle from Buckingham Palace and start speaking Russian.

No you've not got this at all. Getting crap bills passed using bribery, threats and blackmail is the British parliamentary way.

[sheothebudworths]

If you can't command any or even the majority of your members to vote according to executive party policy, you do not have a parliamentary party in any meaningful sense whatsoever.

Just had an email from Corbyn asking what he should put to Cameron at Wednesday's PMQs

Just had that email as well,now I've just got to figure out why I'm getting spam from Bernie Sanders team same email address as used for Corbyns £3 sign up but using the shortened version of my first name (very common) something odd going on here (I suspect it's to do with having my name separated by a dot and the inability of email providers to differentiate),I've been getting bills from someone in the US using Rodgers as their provider for about five years now.
