Labour leadership

[J Ed]

He's a non drinking vegetarian.Join the dots people.

He's the head of a crypto-Muslim conspiracy to impose a caliphate on Britain, I knew it

 

[likesfish]

tbf if corbyn manages to get loads of people who dont usually vote then its in the bag

 

[Hocus Eye.]

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

Any ideas at all???

He will need to stand for election. That is how he got to be leader of the Labour Party.

 

[Casually Red]

Fuck me. I only made it half-way through that, but did they really try to get him on the basis that he wouldn't be prepared to order a nuclear strike?????

That and something about eating a "vegetarian sandwich".....something I usually refer to as a simple salad sandwich... and a dark reference to him having " read pamphlets " . And Putin . A paddy power Putin admittedly, but ..Putin .

Man douses himself in petrol inside Ashton Under Lyne Jobcentre.


Corbyn and the new Labour Party should now call a national demonstration against the brutal welfare reforms, last week a man doused himself in petrol inside Leigh Job Centre. It will be revealing though how much it is supported if it happens.

You say this as though no-one has spent the last few years calling against welfare reforms

Leaving aside Urban's occasional squabbles, nuanced and indeed erudite arguments, there is one thing we should all be pleased about. Namely: the main stream media have been turned over good and proper. Be it the vilification from Hodges in the Vermingraph, the personal attacks from the Fail and the relentless belittling by the Guardian, all have been put in their place. Corbyn had no need to go arse licking with Murdoch, no discrete dinners with the London centric journalists. Rather he went and spoke to the people.

The Social Media along with connecting with communities are the ones who have given Corbyn his victory. To think his votes exceeded those of Bliar is not only extraordinary but is a testament to ordinary folks both young and not so young expressing their will against all odds.

Finally, it is good feeling to know that Urban plays a part in the democracy dialogue.

Here's to a brighter future.

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.

Sanders is the Corbyn of America...ever seen them in the same room?

why don't you call a national demo?

They have , but now it needs much more of a co-ordinated and mass response, a resurgent Left and civil society acted with urgency today on the refugee crisis, lets see the same with the savage welfare changes.

 

[treelover]

why don't you call a national demo?

why not just fucking respond to the issue, the SWP called a mass protest on the refugee issue, they can do one on the lost lives from social security reforms, I don't care who does it just fucking do it,

and don't shoot the messenger, there is no ego involved here, just lost lives.

I know people around Corbyn, I will ask them.

Society will act, see Calais. This isn't the same as parliamentary voting shite.

Decadence

Surely four friends (NO MORE THAN ) in the park, a bag of tinnies and a flask of tea for Jeremy...all the rest nicked for being too drunk on their bicycles back home.

This is what treelover does - he berates everyone else for doing nothing, even when we are, whilst posting angry rhetoric and calls to arms.

 

[Dandred]

Christ, good news and yet petty who is more left than the other on urban. What a surprise.

Yeah fucking raise a glass and laugh at the cunts dissecting the politics of it all

 

[treelover]

LOL - i thought this must be from a spoof account at first:
"

That is what Cameron said, surely a Govt Dept/agency can't be that political, this is really dodgy.

I'm having an Obama moment here It's good to have a bit of an uplifting fuck you type moment without being wedded to the politics, you joyless bastards

Yeh, me too.

Despite not being a complete idiot politically (honest), when Obama made his inaugural speech my eldest was a baby and I remember the landlord being round fixing something and I had to leave the room because I started crying

As a unite member I voted for Corbyn. I'm aware of all the arguments against, I'm not into parliamentary politics, but I can't help but feel absolutely fucking delighted about this, even if only for today.

Eh, CCHQ is purely a party thing.

I think treelover has got his GCHQ confused with his CCHQ. That suggests he hasn't checked the link.

 

[maomao]

CCHQ not GCHQ.

great news

 

[treelover]

I don't watch Newsnight so I missed this but wtf it's like Brass Eye

just noticed Ed Whitby(Ex? AWL) in the vid, wonder if he will get a role?

Stephen Smith is a master of irony/surrealism.

 

[treelover]

why do you think it is aimed at anyone on here, it isn't, never have, its aimed at largely the liberal left who in the last decade march against everything except this issue.

I am not advocating anything militant either, just civil society creating a new coalition against the reforms.
