Re: Labour are finished

Two Eagles and a Falconer? OK, no sad jokes about prey(ing) !!!
I may not agree with most of Jeremy Corbyn’s political views but I am delighted that we can now tell the parties apart. I also admire him for his campaigns in the past. Often standing alone he had the guts to speak out against injustice including apartheid and Pinochet’s regime of terror. He also wound up Kilroy Silk!
Nope, don’t like most of the policies but have to admire the man’s courage and principles.

The man has a concience, and a back bone, more than can be said for the other spineless individuals we have in Parliament. Next to Guido Fawkes, the only man to enter Parliament with honest intentions next to Cromwell

I have to agree on that front.

What's the point of having more than one party when they are all the same brown, soft substance, just in a different shade of brown.

Corbyn of course is the crow ...

Re: Labour are finished

Talking of brown stuff, they are all wearing a subtle shade of brown these days in deminishing peoples Inalienable rights even further. That includes the right to life.

Re: Labour are finished

I have to say that I am awaiting more of the substance than the popular slogans. I personally agree with EXC that Labout now are unelectable but I am willing to reserve that judgement until such time as I read their policies and that might happen as early as next year's election crap that comes through the letter box.

Today's headlines are that Labour have more women in their cabinet than men, however, they cannot be trusted with the key roles so at least they'll be there to make the tea and bake the cakes for the real labour political figures to talk about real issues . Tell if I need to duck now

That's all well and good but you can apply those traits to many other Labour shadow PMs, none of whom was capable in convincing the nation that they could lead them. Corbyn will go the way of Micheal Foot ie split Labour in two and render them ineffective as an opposition, except Corbyn won't last as Labour leader come the next general election.

Re: Labour are finished

He has conviction and backbone and that did a certain evil bitch very well indeed, well until her own party turned on her. I don't usually speak ill of the dead but for her I make an exception

What will destroy labour is if in the near future there is an attack on his leadership . I hope these politicians who are refusing to sit on the front bench have some integrity and fall on their swords , problem is too many are Blairites i.e patronising lying opportunists

patronising, lying, opportunists, probably the best description of most MPs
