Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

The tories and their neo-facist media owners are sh-t scared of little Corbyn and
what he preaches.
Fascinating to watch while cameron sunbathes in the Algarve, running away from problems at home.

Corbyn does not have the support of the PLP (Parliamentary Labour Party). A leader cannot survive without the support of their party's MPs.

Perhaps, you have DTs and believe in everything the Daily Telegraph and THQ tells you to believe!

The problem labour has is there is no credible competition for Corbyn.
The other three muppets would not win an election, they simply don't have it in them.

you may recollect that the greeks recently voted in a "mr huff-n-puff" and look what's happening or happened to him
having to accept reality does wonders, and while i concur that JC's competitors are total muppets, and therefore JC may well carry the day, i would be very surprised indeed if many others than the militant trades unionists will be cheering for long
i greatly doubt that even fred truly thinks that the general public will actually vote for the major tax rises and probably worse (like major inflation and/or devaluation) that JC would need to even start on his trumpeted programme of re-nationalisation and super-dooper giveaways such as free uni education

Here is the flavour of his views!
Dont count your chickens etc etc.
You Tories think its a bad thing and labour are going to self destruct.....WRONG Corbyn as awoken young voters and they are following him in the thousands, hundreds of thousands.
Not only that but he'l get back all the SNP seats.
I wouldnt be too smug you two MAM itinerants, and he'l murder Dodgy Dave in debates at PMQs.
Your listening too much to the roaring right wing press and media.
ps, Cynic are you going to subsidise your poor tenant who will have at least £80 a week less money than he as now when Osbournes austerity savings kick in.
I DID WARN YOU.

It might be handy to have a credible opposition, you know, someone who would go against the flow a bit.
At the moment, Dodgy Dave has no foil, Harperson isn't up to the job, any job.

Blimey, Haystack. Itinerant is a big word for Fishfinger.

“A movement is born,” claimed Jezza’s unofficial PR man Owen Jones last week: “across the nation, in every village and town and city you can see this movement emerging”. The hyperbole is even more generous in Owen’s interview with the man himself today: “in the last few weeks Corybnmania has swept across the country”. Well, has it?
The latest figures show there are around 270,000 Labour members.
In addition, around 70,000 have joined as affiliated supporters.
50,000 are so-called ‘registered supporters’.
A total of 390,000 people.
The voting age population of the UK is 50,780,423.
If we (generously) assume that around half of all those affiliated with the Labour Party support Corbyn – 195,000 people – then what proportion of the voting population is a Corbynista? Just 0.38%.
Hardly sweeping the country…

And the tories have how many registered members and supporters?
Care to put up a graph of tory membership since Call Me took over??
