maurice has been attempting to connect Corbyn and Steptoe in people's minds for some months. I think because he's dead old and wears a vest or something.

He's a very clean old man.

Is this Maurice?

 

[J Ed]

Blairite Maurice can fuck the fuck off until he apologies for comparing Corbyn supporters to the Hitler youth.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Hurrah for the whitevests!

Hurrah for the whitevests!

What the fuck are you on about?
You sound like a right prannet.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Unsurprising, given that he is a right prannet.

He's saying Corbyn supporters are whitevests, like Baronet Oswald Ernest's supporters were blackshirts.

 

[J Ed]

Idiot

 

[goldenecitrone]

Nothing wrong with white vests. Or black shirts. I'll be wearing both when winter kicks in properly. And voting for the geriatric hippie when the time comes.

I hope the likes of Staines and co don't get onto this and set their scum on Megan there (she was a TUSC election candidate). She already had to lock her account.

I don't think MP is the sole source on this, I've seen Corbyn/Steptoe stuff elsewhere too.

Milne = Harold
McDonnell = Hercules

 

[killer b]

Do any of your other sources actually manage to do anything funny with it?

 

[rekil]

Good man yourself.

How juvenile.

Labour Maquis FFS.

 

[Idris2002]

Labour MARQUIS more like. Amirite?

 

[Bakunin]

Labour Maquis FFS.

It's an appalling insult to the actual Maquis, IMHO.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Vichy cunts

 

[nino_savatte]

Hilarious.

 

[brogdale]

Hilarious.

A good look that; a war against their own membership.

Isn't it, just? They're so delusional (surely a form of mass psychosis?) that they'd cut their own throats to get back into power.

 

[Sue]

Absolutely. Can you imagine that fucking lot risking death, imprisonment and torture fighting for freedom? And are they really comparing the membership of their own party to the occupying German forces? Ffs, they really need to take a look at themselves and read some fucking history.

Thing is I could somewhat understand that a bit if the way they're acting had any chance at all of achieving power. But it seems they haven't thought at all about what either their election defeat ir Corbyn winning the leadership means. All they've got is 'get him out the way then get back on the true path to power - being very slightly less shit than George Osborne.'

It's a form of territorialism. But what gets me is their patent lack of ideas. As you say all they have is "get out Corbyn".

A friend tells me that the name (and in particular the logo) is referencing star trek rather than (although I suppose as well as) the french resistance. It only gets worse.
