Jeremy Corbyn

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

The file shown in the Telegraph(?) only showed that he had met with Corbyn but didn't have the detail of what was discussed. I doubt very much a back bencher, especially one who wasn't popular in his own party, would have access to anything sensitive. However, it begs the question why was an opposition MP meeting with an employee of a foreign government at the height of the Cold War.

In my opinion, the guy was putting hie own political ideology ahead of the State. There is no law against that but I would question whether or not someone of such a far left political leaning truly represents the people. Fast forward to today, and I feel there are still flashes of the ideology showing through, and that's what frightens me, i.e. the prospect of an Orwellian government.

Never mind even just those who have a left of centre leaning.

As far as an Orwellian Government - well much of the technology Orwell imagined is here today...watch Black Mirror...

Here's hoping Jezza grows a pair and keeps the Blairites, that continue to blight the party, well and truly on ignore...

No matter how much you polish it the EU remains a turd that needs flushing away...

You can't keep ignoring the Labour voting people...
Take a listen to the sense being spoken by Frank Field...

Perhaps Ben will think twice before copying the newspaper headlines again.

Silly statement from an idiot. Anyone with half a brain would know that the likely hood of our Jeeza during his commie and terrorist supporting back bencher days having anything more secret than the combination to his bicycle lock highly unlikely.

By idiot, I assume you mean the witless Tory MP, or does it extend to the newspaper editors as well.

Newspapers are there to make money, those that buy them deserve what they get, an MP on the other hand, be it of any party, and most of them are pretty witless, should stop using social media.

Thanks for that clarification.:thup:

Corbyn and his mob are out right Marxist and if that's the government that the majority choose oin the future then so be it.

A real move back to the 60,s

So we have the Brexiters who want to go back to the 70s and Labour who want to go back to the 60s. I tells you, as soon as a party endorses Nik Kershaw, shoulder pads and Kajagoogoo then they have my vote as the most progressive party available...

Yup - I love that Brexiteers want to take us back to the 60s and 70s - a time before we were in the EEC when Britain was Great (greatly grim if I recall) - and at the same time most of the same bunch warn us of a Labour Party who want to take us back to the 70s and remind us how it was a time of strikes, unions and misery. Hold on...???

 

[Old Skier]

There's some that just won't move on and it's not those that won't to move out of a federal state but the rant brigade as normal.

As years pass people forget how bad things were in the 60's, 70's and early 80's. The UK was the lame duck of Europe in 1973, when it joined the EEC, but that didn't improve things at all. And as much as it will enrage some, thank god for Margaret Thatcher, or at least her early years. I remember being called out on strike, and my wage before the strike was easily liveable on, even with high mortgage interest rates.

Who remembers Derek Robinson, Red Robbo, the British Leyland Union guy that called the workers out over 500 times? That went on till 1979/80. Who remembers mortgage rates of 17.9% in 1981? The miner's strike in 72 that led to blackouts and the 3 day week in 73.

Did the EEC/EU improve life in the UK? No, and you've only got to look at other countries that have been in the EU many years to see that change/improvement is driven from within.

Back on track; I believe that Corbyn's desire for people power, and you've only got to look at his admiration of Venezuela, will take us back to the (literally) dark days of the 70's.

On the other hand Labour will come out today saying they want to stick in the custom's union. Which some may argue will mean we have a much more stable economic future than if we hard Brexit like some parts of the Tory party seem so keen to do.

No they will not. They will be saying they want a bespoke trade agreement which would include a bespoke agreement for A customs union which would be in the best interest of the UK - sound familiar. You need to listen to the interview as apposed to what the BBC are reporting.

The only difference is that they have over 90 MPs who don't agree with him so he may be in an even worse position than May.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Hahahahaha - heard this on Wednesday, sat around with a load of non-Labour voters. All bar two had joined up to vote for Corbyn - priceless!

Remember this from 2015.....that worked out well for them eh!

Ahem - don't just point at the BBC as much as you love bashing them - EXACTLY the same is being stated on LBC.

Ah yes - I wonder how many Tory voters signed up to the Labour Party back then to get Corbyn as Labour Leader - so as to make Labour unelectable. Ooops! That has worked out well then. Time will tell.

With about three quarters of Labour MPs representing constituencies that voted leave right now he needs to be delivering on those voters wishes if he wants any chance of making No 10....

Come on, the mans going to negotiate a deal with the EU and we aren't going to pay any tariffs and we can do any kind of trade deal with the rest of the world.

If that is what he is saying then he is as deluded as the Brextremists (if Andrew Rawnsley can call them that then so can I).

If it makes you happy. Perhaps we should start calling remainers Ostriches.
