I quite like the manifesto. Now, if they would just sack MacDonnell and Abbott, I could consider voting for them (I'd rather get shot of Corbyn too, but that's just for external facing foreign credibility issues - I don't think he's necessarily stupid or incompetent)

Another interesting way of looking at Corbyn's leadership credentials: if he'd been leader at the time, would he have committed the same f*ck ups as recent leaders? Would he have sold off council housing without replacing it? Would he have deregulated the banks before the crash? Would he have gone in to Iraq? Would he have sold off the gold, the Royal Mail, the trains at record low prices? Would he have allowed the biggest referendum in our life times to have been a simple yes/no question? Would he have brought in the bedroom tax? Would he have f*cked a dead pig as part of a bet with his Etonian chums? Who is the bad leader then?
Given his previous with the IRA he would probably have sent British troops to defend the taliban

Collectively I doubt half of it can be achieved and some of it shouldn't even be attempted

Quite impressed with the labour manifesto presents the case concisely and easy to read. Jeremy Corbyn seems to be relishing the campaign enjoying the pressure and benefiting from the PMs absence of any sort of personality.

It's a shame that he is 16 to 20 points behind in the polls, will get wiped out in Scotland, will be marginalised in Wales and lose seats in Northern England.

No I didn't. You just misunderstood or deliberately misinterpreted. Obviously I am stating that it would be silly to elect someone who you knew that...given a situation of great peril for the country....You would have to remove to ensure that any nuclear counter action was a possible risk for the enemy. And this is saying that the time frames made this kind of action even possible.....Which it most probably wouldn't.
The Establishment won't let Corbyn be PM. You have had a general go on the Andrew Marr show and fairly explicitly suggest that there would be a military coup if he did. Even though his own view is one of sticking to the unilateral disarmament treaty, which all major nations have signed up to, even though he has ceded to his party on this, even though all he is saying is that nuclear weapons are unimaginably horrific and tragic. When Ramsay McDonald was leader, they put out the Zinoviev letter to force him out. There were military units ready to overthrow Wilson in the Cold War. Corbyn would represent an even greater threat to the military industrial complex in this countty than them. These are the c'nts we're up against. When even at a time where no nation on this planet poses a nuclear threat to our land, they are on the F*CKING TV pledging a coup should he come in! These people are money-grabbing war-mongering c*nts of the highest order and i would f*cking love it if Corbyn took them on.
If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4 |
