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.

beware of what you wish for could apply to both sides in the present scenario

if fred was half-way balanced, it would be (have been) worth hearing his views
unfortunately he is just a rabid dog

for my part, i worry greatly about corbyn, for he speaks eloquently
he has clearly appealed to a younger audience, many of whom could have but did not bother to vote previously
one of the problems with being young is a lack of experience in life, though that said, it can also be a benefit

will corbyn's utopian visions (to most of which i certainly do not subscribe) have any chance of realisation?
most, from all sides of the equation, think not but that is not to say they are right

From the mantras being trotted out by the tories and haze it seems to me that they are shit scared of him and what he represents.

I must admit his packaging is for some wanting, but the content may go down, unlike Cameron, who is all packaging and lacking in content.

But the smearing tory smearing tactics have started, as one would expect, but may not work this time round.

I think he has enough sense to sit down and talk and question with other party members of what they would like the UK to be in the future and the practical changes they need to obtain their goal.

I would suspect he will go for the "quiet" game, rather than moves followed by u-turns.

My guess his following will be a lot higher than expected.

Good luck to him.

The previous shadow ministers who resigned should perhaps consider, why they were rejected by the public and party membership.

Also, remember that 60% of the electorate reject the present tory party.

How many votes did Cameron get in the tory leadership election and how many members has the tory party lost over the last 10years?

And how many of the tory party members are donating in the hope of peerages, or medals?

Buying a peerage is back in vogue under Cameron and crew.

How many moats can a toad have cleaned, before he is given a peerage?

Apparently, Cameron and his key advisors including some Cabinet ministers were discussing Corbyn earlier this week. They started out very seriously looking at various subject such as if this was a resurgence of Labour and whether there might be an SDP moment. Then suddenly, they all burst out laughing about the whole thing.

Which of the three tory parties were you talking about?

Corbyn is a gift to the Conservatives. There are so many policies that he can be attacked on. This must rank as the worst decision in the history of the Labour party. Choosing Michael Foot looks like a minor mistake compared to this.

Re: #62742


Good, all third rate if that. Perhaps he will get some people who are up to the job?

Jeremy Corbyn elected as Labour leader: Photographer captures rivals' reactions

I thought the tories were in government, at the moment, they are the ones who need policies.

It is obvious the don't have any and are using diversionary tactics from their own failings for the last 5 and half years.

Smearing tactics of bully boys stunted in school and blown away by drugs in colleges.

Did they buy their degrees?

Off topic...

Here's an interesting site if you want to do something with your TV other than just watch it:

I think it's a shame that he got elected ,a loony left winger ,i would rather a strong Labour leader to keep the Tories on their toes .
Lets face it he stands no chance of being Prime Minister .

He's made one big mistake he's had a go at the Press , as if they are going to take any notice . Couldn't believe it when he thanked Yvette Cooper after what she said .

Perhaps, he is a bigger man than you think!

I think that as far as containing this illegal immigration ; it might take the formation of private militias to deal with this.....that does mean the funding of powerful speedboats perhaps armed,....raising these funds via charity appeals to stop migration.....because these european banana republics are all but useless in preventing this severe problem from getting worse...

It depends on what he actually stands for in practice.

Is he a man of the people, or a north London loony tunes lefty?


Will he stand up for the average working stiff, or go off on an angst ridden journey worrying about the world?

If he sticks to his natural constituency (the workers) he could do very well.

But I fear events will overtake him, and he will try to please the minorities (all of them).

You have to have an opposition......and a good one....but I reckon the conservatives might be heading for a third term in office if they choose a good leader !...(almost wrote goon leader)....chuckle...
