Jeremy Corbyn-Leadership quality?

[SocketRocket]

Careful mate, you can’t say that! You’ll have all the right wing bed wetters kicking off.

? Do only people with right wing tendencies wet the bed, I would be interested on how you came to that theory. Wait a minute! Your being sarcastic arn't you, you naughty little lefty you. I have to admit you are very incontinent with your views though ?

Strange you didn’t ask Dando these questions and “liked” his posts when he called leavers Pant Wetters in the Brexit - The Negotiations thread.

Almost as if it’s ok when your political viewpoint aligns with the poster.

Diane Abbott presided over the resolving of some difficult mental health initiatives in the NHS. She was also instrumental in great changes on the management of sickle cell care within the NHS. Yes she has some major gaffs, and I would agree that she's a racist, but she's a damn fine constituency MP and has done more on NHS initiatives than anyone else in the last 15 years.

Would I want here anywhere near a front bench, in power or in opposition? Hell no, but I doff my cap for what she has done in other areas.

I could have written this word for word and totally agree with you. This could be the best thing all round. I don't think she's cut out for a cabinet/shadow cabinet job but by all accounts is a very good, or excellent, constituency MP. This move would give her more time to focus her efforts where they seem to be best suited and continue the good work she's known for doing while not so much in the public eye.

Seems like DiAbb is standing down from her position as Shadow Home Secretary and won't be in the next Leader's Shadow Cabinet.

But we need not worry - because our PM has in place the real McCoy as actual Home Secretary - with Priti Pratel getting pelters in the press at the moment for her alleged behaviour and demonstrable incompetencies in not really understanding her brief and the issues. No matter - she sounds tough on immigration - tough on immigrants - and for her lovers that's all that matters.

Maybe given she's unlikely to be in any future position of power, we'll soon stop hearing the slagging off of DiAbb on the basis of her historical misspeaks and mistakes - as she heads to the Labour backbench. Maybe instead we will hear these same voices from right stage start to express concern over the real Home Secretary. But I will not be holding my breath in the waiting...

Oh Dear!! You're so funny, Haaaa. You make comments from the Left attacking Priti Patel saying how incompetent she is and then criticise people who make posts from the Right criticising Diane Abbott for her incompetence. Make your mind up or is it open season.

someone who made a few gaffs compaired to a minister who has undisclosed talks with a foreign power and tried to divert aid funds to that countries military and made to resign and finds food banks and poverty amusing....

So you think Patel is a highly competent and trustworthy Home Secretary then. Abbott has made mistakes and misspeaks in opposition as Shadow Home Secretary, Patel is the actual Home Secretary and is being criticised left right and centre. But you think she is Head Girl material? Or maybe you don't. But she sounds hard on immigration - hard on immigrants - so OK with you? Any concerns with PP then?

Being hard on immigration is absolutely fine with me, we are overpopulated IMO and anything that has the chance of slowing that is worth while, especially if it filters out those we dont need having the RIGHT to reside here.
Regarding Patel herself, She has been the victim of criticism over her dealings with some Civil Servants, some of these claims appear to be stoked up by the left and without substance. She does seem to be following Cabinet policy of being more direct with Civil Servants and ensuring they are more in tune with and carrying out Government policy rather than what we have experienced for far too long where they want to be steering the car. Good luck to her with that one, I would like to see some changes there.
Regarding 'Head Girl Material' I can only guess what you mean there, are you being misogynous? Maybe not but you must chose your words carefully these days. If you mean 'Is she Ministerial Material' then my answer would be a definite 'Yes'

Ah yes - overpopulated...of course we are, and the new immigration policy will sort that (wondering who's going to get kicked out to make UK less populated)

Anyway - on PP - all who think she is untrustworthy (proven) and in way out of her depth (almost without question) are wrong.

But DiAbb is fair game for abuse and denigration as she has misspoken or got things a bit muddled very occasionally. Just as well that she's never held a cabinet position and is standing down when the new Labour Leader comes along. Meanwhile PP will continue doing what she does best...erm...come on - she really isn't very good is she...not really...

You didnt read my post, did you?
I said (and I quote) "and anything that has the chance of slowing that is worth while, especially if it filters out those we dont need having the RIGHT to reside here"

Do you not think we are overpopulated? Really!

 

[Old Skier]

I'm not sure we are overpopulated but we don't have the infrastructure in place to deal with the current population.

But doesn't that mean we are overpopulated? OK, we could build houses all over the green belt but how do we feed, create employment, educate, keep healthy a population that increases by the size of a city like Leicester each year. When resources become scarce, as they will, high population will be a mill stone.

Plenty of room in Scotland since the majority of Scots seemed to have moved down here

PS, for those that don't recognise smilies and are easy to take offence, it was a joke.

With something like 200,000 empty accommodation around still capacity without going into greenfield

There are plenty here already to fill those

You're not allowed to say we are overpopulated because that's racist innit.

Why is it that people who can afford it the least are most often the ones who procreate the most irresponsibly?
Perhaps all pregnancies should be licensed by the state.
A sterilization agent should be put into the general water supply.
Antidote tablets could be distributed by an expert government board which determines who is and isn't breeding material.

Perhaps I wouldn't be here, but that would have spared me as many travails as rewards.

Me mother who couldn’t remember my birthday until I actually found out by accident when it was when I was 15/16 yrs old. Told me a couple of years ago, that seeing as I was born 11 months after my older brother and it was to soon to have another baby. She tried to get rid of me by drinking quinine and taking “ mystic menstroids”. Could explain a lot. She explained it was the norm back in the day.
Re the current population of this country. By all accounts the North east lasses are popping there clogs earlier to make space for the rest of us. Seems A bit extreme to me, but Howay and thanks girls. ??
