They'll have to get the pig to sign a consent.

 

[Favelado]

Oh please let this destroy the government. Please.

Army top brass warn of a MUTINY if Corbyn becomes Prime Minister

Once again, the sub's gone AWOL.


There's some serious spinning going on here.


So who is this general? It can't be Walter Walker because he's dead.

There's a fairly ignorant assumption on the part of the Mail, the Times and the general, that the other ranks will follow directions from senior officers that are clearly illegal. As soldiers can be CMed for failing to disobey illegal orders, such an assumption is what is known as "a bag of arse".

Refreshment had been taken, I'll wager.

Half a dozen chota pegs (probably gin) taken post-the sunday roast beef and red wine, and the after-dinner port and brandy. Pretty much any afternoon at the Carlton Club.

Manufacturing Consent was a set text when I was studying journalism, but it seemed to go over most people's heads...

Cognitive dissonance?

 

[killer b]

Cognitive dissonance?

stupidity. In third year of a journalism degree course, we were asked to analyse an article from the Express, and one of my peers said 'the express? that's a left wing paper isn't it?'

That's the sort of thing I had in mind, yes. Unless the CC was too public and they were in a corner of level minus 3 at the Cheshire Cheese. The bit that reminds me of the hidden, deserted Syriac chapel in the church of the holy sepulchre.

Jesus pig-fucking Christ! You'd have to be either deluded, or substantially to the right of the readership of The Daily Telegraph, for that to be the case!

Quite. Mutinies never come from above, they always come from below.

it's a Black Mirror reference.

How innocent we once were...

Perhaps the student in question was dyslexic, didn't know right from left or maybe arse from elbow.

Ah, okay. I was thinking more of the Invergordon Mutiny and similar.

Corbyn Resigns From Stop The War Coalition After Fresh Queen Controversy

Sad, the slow crumbling under pressure of a decent man.

And fair point, there is a reason why politicians are bland I guess.

Do hope the statement is the truth though:

He told Sky News: "It was always agreed that if Jeremy was selected (as Labour leader) he would step down in a number of roles, one of which was chairman of the Stop The War Coalition.

"This is due to the number of engagements and commitments that come with being the leader of the Opposition."

 

[Trappist]

Quite. Mutinies never come from above, they always come from below.

A rose by any other name...

Examples of how not and how to:

Algiers putsch of 1961 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greek military junta of 1967–74 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note the absence of cosy chats with journos months/years before

I see a Lib Dem councillor has just resigned and gone over to Labour, explicitly because of Corbyn
