He didn't draw a large crowd here. Hundred or so. They were were just noisier and liked dancing on the spot more than most people.
According to the Towns website the Civic holds 505 people so thats a considerable number more than you were hoping 
It's quite the topic of conversation round here at the moment. After Jeremy's lies on the train, they are clearly being economical with the truth about attendances too.
I'm actually surprised they didn't use the words 'ram packed'...

Have we had "jamgate" yet???
I always thought it was jam-packed, not ram-packed
'Jam-gate' is just painful in itself.... Pretty much everything about Saint Jezza (not Clarkson) seems spun beyond reason to PROVE that he is different to all the modern 'spun' politicos. I am starting to genuinely think that is started off as deliberate but has become such a habit that fact is now copying art.I always thought it was jam-packed, not ram-packed
Imagine 'The Thick of it' before modern politics and then Parliament morphing into an ironic and scary version of the satire.
Frightening really.....
I don't have a problem with Corbyn making jam. Churchill used to relax by building brick walls. Each to his own. But I'm slightly puzzled about how jam-making requires you to switch off your mobile in the middle of a media firestorm of your own making. Hiding yourself away when things get difficult is not usually what people look for in a future Prime Minister.

Gordon Brown was another who went missing when things got smelly. 230TE said:

Quite. No issue with hobbies. I'd rather they had some as it might indicate some normality - but don't use them to hide behind... Vaud said:

The trouble is the more he tries to show that he is different the more obvious it becomes that he is a career politician hooked on stunts and spin. It also becomes obvious that he isn't very good at it and has a poor support team.

Peruvian fruit, obviously. You won't catch Corbyn making jam from decadent capitalist Western fruit.It's also very very simple - heck even I used to help mummy as a child no time at all to do - picking was but I'd wager is isn't doing that key part of the task.

Messy job making jam. You don't want to be anywhere near a telephone when you're up to your elbows in the stuff. Tricky, very tricky. Which draws an interesting parallel with out of control political spin, come to think of it.All that stress cant be good for the old boy, I hope he doesn't have a heart attack.
Can you imagine the Zionist conspiracies that would emerge if that happened?
"Its a Mossad plot I tell ya, their agents sneak into hotel rooms dressed as tennis players/Mutant Turtles/Jewish Ninjas and their victim has a "heart attack we demand a public enquiry and the immediate boycott of fruits and vegetables grown in the Negev"

His supporters aren't looking for him to be a future PM. They want him to lead their a-level student/first year Uni/NUS style protest movement. Edited by tomw2000 on Friday 26th August 14:02
