It’s reassuring to know that amidst the current political turmoil some things remain reassuringly consistent and unchanging.
Right wing media???? BBC! The Mirror!, The Guardian!! Three ultra right wing media organisations there Sam.Well one of them is for sure.
im very sure after we sell our better players and replace with non league and division 2 players we will be in fine shape to finish mid tableAfter one of the poorest league showings for many a season I’m just trying to work out who our ‘better players’ might be.
I presume you are a socialist Sammy. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. Personally I would like to see that work but in practice it is a different matter.
I have respect for anyone and their views but everyone can see what Comrade Corbyn is like. An opportunistic. Just say the right things at the right time. It worked and he did pull the party back up to Browns performance. Totally unworkable policy in 2017 though.If you would like to see that work then you must be a socialist too Comrade Donny. I think you should admit that your cognitive dissonance is affecting your opinion and needs to be addressed.
Corbyn’s policies aren’t radical. They are merely restating the values upon which the Labour Party was founded. People believe they are radical because they are in obvious contrast to the ever more right-wing policies the Conservative Party has adopted over the last thirty-odd years, supported by a mainstream media infiltrated by right-wing bias.
You believe it’s unworkable because that’s what you’ve been told.
You shouldn’t worry however my closet socialist. It will not get too radical; the establishment will not allow it.
Who would vote for a man that doesn’t wear the red poppy, sing the national anthem, and will arm us with handbags to fight a war, and has had rumpy pumpy with Dianne Abott.
Plus it’s easy to promise the earth in your manifesto if you know that you have not a cat in hell’s chance of being in the seat of power, in the first place. At least it disrupts the opposition for a while.
Worst Labour mon in my lifetime. Andy Burnham would have been a better shout.
Shape yourself Lostock, you forgot to mention that he voted against every anti terrorism legislation put before him.
A man of peace, total bollocks! voted against the Anglo Irish agreement.[/quote]
Yet him and his cronies where quick enough to blame the government for the recent terrorist atrocities in the run up to the election and again today the dispicable lot are already trying to score further browny points over the terrible tower block fire and that is despite having 13 years in very recent times to sort out things like that themselves. Seems like Abbot is fit again to join the fray and serve in the opposition.
Politicians! Whatever happened to Wilson and Heath??[/quote]Ask the surviving residents of Grenfell whether Corbyn was scoring “brownie points”. Poor people being ignored after raising concerns over the safety of the property in which they lived and a good many of them horrendously died, the refurbishment being awarded to a company that undercut the next lowest bid by £1.5m, recommendations from an inquest into a previous fire being ignored and in some cases actively rejected by Tory government departments on grounds of cost.
You mean the paedophile Ted Heath? As for Harold Wilson he was under suspicion as being a Soviet spy in the sixties and seventies with talk of a military coup to oust him, such is the paranoia of the establishment.
Money, and by that billions, is found to bail out banks and go bomb, kill and maim innocent people to protect the interests of the obscenely wealthy and powerful whilst the poorest in our society are further downtrodden and persecuted under the excuse of a so-called austerity that was created by them.

After the Anglo-Irish treaty was signed, which Margaret Thatcher agreed was a mistake, the violence continued in Northern Ireland as Corbyn had expected. Over ten more years of talks took place before all the Northern Ireland political parties agreed to sign the Good Friday agreement, except for the DUP.
In May 1998, Two referendums were held, one in Northern and one in Southern Ireland to determine whether the people approved of the agreements. Approval was given from both Northern and Southern Ireland voters. The joint agreements came into force in December 1999.
Jeremy Corbyn, originally opposed to the Anglo-Ireland agreement but was in favour of the joint agreements because of the approval of all Northern Ireland political parties, except the DUP, which meant the end of violent protest.

So if you wear a poppy and sing the National Anthem that makes you a good egg with the best interest of the country as a whole at heart? Maybe that excuses from blame the psychopaths who send young men off to war to be maimed and killed for no good reason other than to serve the interests of the rich and powerful.
And yes, let’s arm ourselves to the teeth with nuclear weapons so when the world has been obliterated we can stand proud and say we didn’t fire first.
A Labour man in the traditional sense of the word putting forward socialist policies and not some phoney career politician adopting Conservative ideology in the hope of getting elected
Younger voters favoured Corby…older voters favoured May.Life’s good when you’re young until you have to pay for it…
Tax and borrow today and you’ll pay tomorrow.
It is generally accepted that the surge in the number of younger voters was in favour of Corbyn but quite why the “older voters” or more specifically those at or nearing pensionable age would vote Tory, given their manifesto, is beyond me.
Perhaps if western governments stopped pursuing its policy of regime change by invading, destabilising and causing untold destruction in predominately Muslim countries to protect the interests of the rich and powerful then the rise of Islamic extremist groups might not have occurred.
Is that not chicken and the egg though Sammy? The countries invaded are those usually the ones that support and assist terrorism and in some cases fund it. Christ knows how we combat it but I cannot see negotiations working with the extremists.[/quote]
Why aren’t we invading Saudi Arabia then?[/quote]
Sammy you’ve just defeated your own augment with that one.The Saudis have no reason to dislike us, we went to war to defend their country yet it seems that a lot of Islamic terrorism can be traced back to them.[/quote]
You’ve missed my point.
It isn’t a case of whether or not “we” are liked or disliked by these regimes it’s about whether they impinge on the interests of the people with the real power; those who really control things in the world, who own and control all the wealth.Perhaps if western governments stopped pursuing its policy of regime change by invading, destabilising and causing untold destruction in predominately Muslim countries to protect the interests of the rich and powerful then the rise of Islamic extremist groups might not have occurred.
