Labour leadership

[Rob Ray]

The top button's a bit of genius on Corbyn's part tbh (though it's probably more a red socks moment than a strategy in his head). His whole scthick is "some have leadership thrust upon them" and it'll serve for saying "fine I'll compromise" while constantly reminding people how slick and robotic his opponents are.

 

[Brainaddict]

He can't do anything else can he. There's no way he can avoid giving the press anything they can jump on, he just has to deal with it instead of letting the fear of it overwhelm him like Miliband did.

And there's no benefit at all to him trying to suck up to the press. They're going to give him shit in every way possible whether he talks to them or not. It's all going to be very different for the press from now on. The Blairites made them feel all special and cosy. That just isn't an option here and I'm sure they're going to whinge about it even though they all know that if they do get more access they'll all just be dickheads to the Corbyn cabinet.

Flip-floppers and ditherers nakedly calculating the odds on the least career-damaging course will find themselves left stranded, whatever happens next.

You've just described yourself Polly

Anyone know what time Brother Corbyn addresses Conference please?

Around 3pm I think.

Thanks, I will try to catch before I leave for work.

I thought Watso was doing an Alexei Sayle impersonation, TBF, what with the tight suit and skinny tie.

He looks quite like Nick Frost, doesn't he?

Jump up quick Polly, I know you said this wagon was dirty and dangerous and you'd rather call your driver, but everyone else is on it!

"I'm preparing myself to forgive you"

The media too will focus today on how the Battle of Britain and those who served and died were fighting for our freedom.
As long as that freedom didn't involve wearing a tie with the shirt top button undone that is.

That generation must feel this betrayal deeply, or would if they hadn't overwhelmingly voted in favour of the last Labour Party led by an MP from a London constituency.

Atlee was last Cockernee Labour leader? wow

Atlee was last Cockernee Labour leader? wow

And he and his colleagues really changed the shape of things.

 

[tim]

maybe this discussion should continue on a new thread perhaps titled "the corbyn years"

The Corbyn fortnight, might be a more realistic thread title.

He didn't have the privilege of going to Eton or Winchester. He had to make do with Haileybury.

They used his imagery without permission? Or just a sneaky way to take down the video?

Footage of a particular Corbyn discussion about NATO was used without permission. The person who shot & published the footage originally complained.

The tories could take the video down in an instant if they wanted to without going through that convoluted process. And apparently a version of the video without that piece of footage still exists on their Facebook page.

I'm not 100% sure but I suspect this is the original material:

I used to talk to Alexei's mum in a pub in the late 80's, you can see where he got his humour and early politics from, she was pretty exceptional.

Barney Farmer's consistently good - & sometimes proper dark. Worth a follow on twitter.

 

[killer b]

He's brilliant. Getting better too - more political.

 

[maomao]

Hadn't really seen him outside his truly excellent work in Viz. Will keep an eye out.

 

[killer b]

he doesn't seem to have an online home outside his twitter account, but he posts new stuff practically every day atm. 'the male online' topically re-words the same strip each time, so he can react very quickly to news stories (like this).

christ.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

I've seen a few of these on my phone. On a PC I now notice the Daily Male has his breeks down in the second last panel.

 

[killer b]

he has them down throughout. his cock is in his hand in the first panel, note.

He's usually perving on the mail's celeb sidebars.

I'm pretty sure that the guy who started the counterfire website (back when he was in the SWP and swappies used it like they used to use lenin's tomb) was called Adie Cousins (says the video was taken down cos it contained his copyright content) - if there was stuff on there he'd filmed I wouldn't be in the least surprised if it was him issuing a DMCA.
