May Vs Corbyn live on the telly,

[anonymous-user]

Funny that the debate has been about the minute dissection of the words he has used to condem IRA & all terrorist organisations.
But there was no debate on the possible reunification of Ireland post brexit, which is a real issue for whoever is in charge this time next week.

Here's another one.

Today: "We will protect the people of this country from any threat that they face anywhere in the world. We will invest properly in our police service, we will invest properly in our armed services, the numbers in the armed services have gone down, the Navy are crying out for more ships, the Air Force are crying out for more surveillance aircraft - we would fund them properly to achieve all of that." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-4012024...

2010: "fight all the cuts, except those in the armed forces where we want to see a few more cuts taking place" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YjzdIh2I0J4

Lies shamelessly.

Haven't bothered paying much attention to this I just assumed it would be a landslide for May, but wtf is going on? Do people seriously think Corbyn would be a good Prime Minister, and that him negotiating our country's future with the EU would be a good idea? It's insane.

Surely people will come to their senses?

Well, you'd think so wouldn't you? but judging by some of the posts on here there are plenty of fkwits around who would be perfectly happy to see Marxists running the country, anyone who thinks that's a good idea is as thick as mince as far as I'm concerned.

And more u-turns than the PM but he somehow gets away with it at campaign time (supine media take a bow).

• conspicuously failed to sing the National Anthem when he was at a ceremony at St Paul’s cathedral to mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in the Second World War. A day later, his spokesman said that he would in fact sing the anthem in future.
• Corbyn told the Andrew Marr programme on BBC1 that he wanted the party’s conference to vote on his plans to scrap the Trident nuclear deterrent. Then the debate was dropped from the conference agenda altogether.
• In July last year Corbyn claimed he was the only Labour leadership candidate who might vote to leave the EU, Later when asked if he could see a situation in which Labour campaigned to leave the EU, Mr Corbyn said: “No, I don’t see that position" but what was the Labour brexit bill whip? Double bubble.
• Labour's man of the people started the Labour leadership campaign by wearing a white vest visibly under his trademark blue shirt with biro in the top pocket. After being lampooned on the cover of Private Eye magazine he stopped wearing the vest, removed the biro from his pocket and started to wear an ironed shirt, sometimes a suit. Smoothie.
• After expressing disdain for the Privy Council he then said he would join but might not kneel when sworn in - sure Jezza what a lad you are
• Corbyn made an embarrassing climb-down over his idea on maximum pay caps after aides claimed he "mispoke" ho ho ho
• the first u-turn of the current campaign involved Labour ruling out a second referendum on the final EU deal just hours after Corbyn refused to deny it would hold one
• Corbyn then made a benefits U-turn as he back-pedalled on a promise to reverse-freeze by selecting reverse gear
• Initially our Jeremy wasn't going to attend the TV debate in Cambridge, but hold on - Momentum got extra bodies in the audience pretending to be Tories so Hey Presclot it's magic as JC decides to attend at the last minute in an attempt to goad TM into an ambush

How the fking fkity fk does he get away with it? Are the papers more interested in the excitement of a close race than in reprinting this stuff? The Privy Council thing is especially good and one I'd forgotten about: HE'S A fkING REPUBLICAN FFS!

How can a committed Republican possibly, conceivably, ever become PM? Oh yes, because he keeps it a secret, that's how.

I thought the US was a laughing stock when it elected Dubya. More so when it did it a second time. But then Trump put it off the scale. But if Corbyn is PM next Friday the US will look like it is packed to the rafters with geniuses compared to our sceptered isle full of utter cretins.

I can't even go for a long run to work this out of my system, because I've already done that today and it hasn't worked!

Why do people always want to go to Germany? It's more left than here, with better schools, better roads, better public transport, better health services, longer and better benefits for maternity/paternity, larger public sector spending...

It sounds like the worst place on earth to 99.9% of PistonFaces.

It's notable that Germany's left don't have the same rabid hatred of personal and corporate success as the British left.

... borrowing money to investing it wisely can make you money.

yeah and Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbottomous can invest a couple hundred billion wisely can they? Can they fvck. EE Corbyn can't even fill out a tax return.

Maybe because Germany don't have the same tribalism in politics where anyone left leaning is shouted down as a 'looney' or continually told there isn't a 'magic money tree'.

There's a reason for that; they dont destroy their economy every time they get in power unlike Labour.

I'm sold! Thank you.

Ugh how embarrassing. Turns out I was wrong anyway; Schulz failed his a level (equivalents) entirely, twice. Arguably EE Corbyn is less thick. SPD can't have anyone as dumb as Raynor or Abbottomous though, it's simply not possible.
