What will you never see on BBS?

Anything remotely similar to the exchange between Willo and a bloke called Anne.

Would have been all vitriol on the other channel

Stay classy HOL

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Loved for being a super Conservative. i.e. a bully who couldn't care less about anyone unless it is in her own personal interests. She is a true role model.

You would have thought her time as a lobbyist for tobacco and alcohol companies would have assisted her to have some subtlety and an ability to communicate with people really.

People seem to forget she was sacked from her role as International Development Secretary for dodgy dealings.

This doesn’t look great for anyone involved either.

Corbyn-supporting Labour members stage NEC mass walkout

[Link]

Say what you want about Labour but they have an incredible ability to poke themselves in the eye at crucial times. Here we have a Government on the ropes and yet all they can do is indulge in this kind of pettiness. Walks outs. LOL.

Either have the bollocks to break away or else the brains to nurse your wounds and bide your time. Still I guess this is why they are on the Left in the first place for this kind of gesture BS.

They have never heard the two word phrase 'lost cause'. Corbyn really has had more attention than the petty little man deserves.

Exactly the smart move for the Corbyn supporters is to let it go and get behind a new figure to challange Starmer and who is not so damaged.

Corbyn is yesterday's man they must be able to dig up a new leftie who they can proclaim is the new Messiah

Quite. Play the long game. With the irony being that in 2017 Corbyn over-saw one of the biggest increases in support at an election in modern times. I know it is not a popular view point but Corbyn performed much better than people are willing to acknowledge in that election and it was only Labours insane second referendum policy that done their legs in 2019. I have bored you all with the reaons why it was sheer lunancy on numerous occassions but Corbyn was at one stage in with a serious shout at making it all the way to Number 10.

If the Left just played it cute then they just need to let Starmer hang himself. The man is clearly being played by others behind the scenes and that will go horribly wrong at some stage.

Opposition is just so easy these days. Only a gross incompetent could get it wrong. How Labour have lost their grass roots is what people should be asking. Who do they stand for? If it's always a minority position that they want to hold, then they are doomed to fail.
They need the working class person back, not the loudest shouters about equality or or diversity, or Palestine. The working person wants the rich to pay tax and the working person to be treated with dignity, whilst earning enough to make work a worthwhile choice. That should be Labour's number one priority.
At the end of the day, Labour should be the biggest party - there are far more poor people who work, than well off people who dodge taxes. But they are obviously far too stupid to do simple sums. I guess they blame the Tories for their lack of education, despite the Labour MPs having mainly also attended private schools, and sending their kids there too.

Corbyn so nearly got over the line in 2017.

He had a compelling manifesto but most of all enthusiastic and organised grassroots supporters.

They are not loonies or revolutionaries and it is only 3 weeks ago that everybody was behind Starmer.

How anybody so learned could be so dumb is beyond the pale.

But the real problem that concerns labour is that he simply does not oppose the government, so what is the point.

Benteke scores more goals than he has policies.

The fundamental problem here is that Corbyn supporters are not smart.

Some seem to think 2017 was a success. They won 262 seat, a net gain of 24 on the previous election despite the fact the Tories took us out of Europe, screwed up the process, then tried to push through a whole load of outrageous policies.

Blair won over 400 seats everytime. People want to vote for Labour, they just don't trust them.

It's not about opposing the government. It's about being smart with upgrading some (maybe agreeable) policies. Tinkering around the edges. Using wrapping paper not brown paper. The lowest quote doesnt always get the job!
