Not at all, so no apology needed, but thank you for such high levels of PH cameraderie.

You were simply wrong. In contrast, I asked a question so had nothing to admit or defend.

Simple smile

Corbyn remains a loser 'leading' a Party heading into oblivion and defeat in 2020.
Have the apology anyway. It's free. You're welcome.

If you'd have clicked the link you wouldn't have been commenting from a position of ignorance.
Agree?

You dismissed the source quite readily without actually seeking to verify the source then go on to excuse that because there's normally some kind of political infiltration - a little shoddy and I expected better from you (take that as a compliment wink ).

JC won the party leadership quite recently - what have you won?

Your question seemed to be slightly leading.
Perhaps I read your reply incorrectly....

He went to one of the best schools in the country and got 2 E's. 'Not a genius' must be one of the least contentious things ever said about him!
Didn't realise that. Explains a few things.

Indeed. Whilst we all get wiser with age there's not a lot anyone can do about being stupid.

Whilst I can empathise with poor A Level results (I went to a superb school and managed ste results at A Level due to many reasons, mostly ones that resided in my testes - since then I've done pretty well), he didn't even manage to finish a degree in bloody Trade Union Studies at the North London Poly...

Now if ever there were a course with a guaranteed pass, that'd be it (obvs in the interests of solidarity, and non elitism they'd all get a Desmond, but at least they'd have a few letters after their name).

I keep having to Google these - they just seem like you couldn't make it up!

The Telegraph said:
On his return, he enrolled in a course in trade union studies at North London Polytechnic, dropped out after rowing with his tutors.
The course did enable him to get a job as a trade union official, first as a senior organiser with the now-defunct National Union of Public Employees, followed by a stint with the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers. At the age of 24 he became a councillor in the north London borough of Haringey.
I guess they weren't flooded with talent. hehe

This was a bloody long time ago too, so it seems joke degrees have been around for longer than I thought...

However, knowing someone with a degree in something along the lines of 'grass cutting management' (he's now a greenskeeper at a top golf course), that is a degree worthy subject. Hugely complex and detailed scientific knowledge applied. Many of us took the piss until we saw the type of stuff included.

Sorry I will still laugh and that's from someone who's son is a professional so it's a subject I've been subjected to plenty over the years wink

I agree otherwise there will be more of 'the best prime minister labour never had' as we will never see how the train wreck plays out...

He's a vegetarian, doesn't drive and doesn't drink. He's got decades left. Decades of baconless, joyless, sobriety.

Labour have a complex policy making mechanism.
Constituencies, the Parliamentaryv Labour Party, the National Executive Committee, Conference and the National Policy Forum.
Corbyn has already stuffed the NEC with extreme leftie puppets.
Yet he keeps going on about "democracy" withing the party, whilst willfully ignoring anything he doesn't agree with. As he has done with his refusal to use Trident, which totally undermines deterrence.
In other words the Labour party has become far more of a dictatorship than at any other time in its history.

yes

Not only does a Labour leader think they know better than every taxpayer what the best ways are to spend their hard-earned, resulting in a self-awarded entitlement to take as much of it as they can in tax (to waste in many novel ways) they also know how to dictate to colleagues. Leftist control freakery survives where the Party overall fails.
