Labour leadership

[William of Walworth]

The French *don't* have any powers to abolish vegetarians' ability to survive.

You know I was taking the complete piss, don't you? and hence, as in my previous post,

But in actually existing effect, in many parts of France, they might as well have

Oh yeah, and ...

Quelle fromage!

 

[William of Walworth]

Quelle fromage!

They love vegans too, I've heard. Them Frenchies

 

[kabbes]

And as for French 'policy' and 'awareness' about beer .....

Is there any subject you won't reduce to beer?

 

[William of Walworth]

Did you say 'reduce'?

(That one was only a PS to my outburst against the French Reign of Terror against veggies and vegans tbf )

 

[killer b]

weren't you contemplating voting Lib Dem the other month because some MP liked a pint of ale?

Cheese eating surrender monkeys!

That's an exaggeration, I would never actually have voted for him in Leeds, where I don't live anyway.

Mulholland had a genuinely good CAMRA-related record was all. Kept his seat amazingly -- must have been a Yorkshire beerdrinkers' personal vote factor

either way, your need to swing every topic round to beer is a tiresome habit.

It really is, you know. We get that good beer is nice, but not everything boils down to a man only being worthwhile if he likes the same drink that you like.

This Trident issue really has the ring of something the preachy reactionary filth are going to cling to for years on end.

Warmonger twats like Murdoch (who have their bunkers prepared) preach that "responsible leaders" are primarily defined by beinng prepared to kill 10,000,000s, condemning future civilisation and nature to horrendous radioactivity: Fuckwit anti humans, self appointed experts in moral philosophy who think we're thick as mince.

Only as long as they are onside if not they don't like it up 'em. If you want to take on the Murdochs of this world thats the only language they understand; Murdoch pulls a knife you reach for a gun. And I'd rather have Tom Watson in my corner firing metaphorical Tridents at Newscorp than Corbyn. The arguments for upgrading the real Trident are still a load of nonsense though.

Labour take a council seat off the Tories.

Boost for Jeremy Corbyn as Labour win seat on Tory-controlled council

An unwanted present for the PLP.

Beer, for one thing, boils down to whisky.

Swing is one of those words difficult to define to someone who doesn't have an innate appreciation of jazz. Swing the quality, that is. Swing the sub genre of jazz is relatively straightforward.

Its pretty meaningless tbh. A few extra enthusiastic labour voters is enough to swing a low turnout council byelection without it making any kind of impact on national trends

And its absence renders a topic meaningless.

I think Corbyn is ready to fall on his sword anyway and I don't think it would matter to the PLP if it was a big scalp.
Virtual end of thread when all said and done.

Evaporates up rather than boils down...

Jeremy Corbyn joins hen party on train – and delivers a speech

‘He was a big hit,’ fellow passenger says of Labour leader, who follows predecessor Ed Miliband in becoming focus of a hen party

Jeremy Corbyn joins hen party on train – and delivers a speech

Corbyn, a big hit with the ladies on the West Coast mainline apparently.

You what?

He doesn't fill me with confidence

 

[Rob Ray]

A little old, so apologies if this was covered already, but I did enjoy Alan Sugar's rant.

 

[Santino]

You what?
He doesn't fill me with confidence

You think he's ready to quit already?

 

[susie12]

Fall on his sword? You must be joking.

 

[gimesumtruf]

He has decided a question, I will not push the nuclear button.
First for a chance to push the button you have to be in power.
He has given away a world stage bargaining chip.
He has let a reporter get the better of him.
He could have said to use the button is a state secret and will remain so.
It'll take years to replace jobs and decommission so why show your hand?
As was said on Question Time he has ruled out talking about it with his party, no means no.
He has had 30 years to think and debate about this stuff.
Lastly he knows he's made a big mistake, this nice man will not win, I think he knows this.

 

[Orang Utan]

He's made a mistake by saying he's not prepared to kill everyone on the planet if he ever becomes world leader?
