Corbyn 23: Hail Discorbia

[olliebean]

It's a bit bad, that.  I mean, if a healthy youngish man sneaks up behind a seventy year old many and punches them hard in the head, without provocation, is that OK?  I know it's a bit ageist of me but I can't help but feel there's something a bit wrong with a person in the prime of physical health purposely attacking someone who is either much older or much younger, it just seems very wrong.

I'm struggling with your implication that an unprovoked physical attack on someone of the same age as the attacker would be OK, tbh.

Two old men doing it would be hilarious, no?

As I acknowledged in my previous remark, I do see there is some ageism there and obviously, any unprovoked violent attack is not to be applauded (perhaps I should have established that in the first place, I didn't appreciate it needed spelling out).  At the same time, to my mind anyway, a violent unprovoked physical attack of any sort perpetrated on another person, is, somehow, made worse if the victim is significantly older or younger than the assailant.  Maybe I'm alone in viewing it that way.

Corbyn and May both hit lowest favourability levels ever.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Only 1 of them has enjoyed a positive 40 point swing in the space of a month.

[Twed]

Fuck those polls. People's convictions are far more long-term than those swings suggest. "Favourability" means whatever they want it to mean.

It's always used as a reason why Corbyn will never become PM, however there are plenty of examples of world leaders with generally negative ratings, and we know from the election campaign that given the oxygen to actually find out what he's like as a human being, people find they actually like him.

For what it's worth - not much - he was about level with May before Tinge stuck the knife in.

Yep, exactly. That's why fuck them. Although honestly, the only good thing about the 2016 US Presidential Elections was people essentially saying "I can't believe the polls we created to control the narrative weren't accurate!".

Jackie Walker apparently has been binned out of Labour, here's a Segalov thread about it from Twitter.

I think this use of the word binned off needs to be binned off. It sounds a bit moronic in a serious context like this.

This is bullshit about Jackie Walker. I'm interested as to whether this sort of decision is being arrived at by cuckoos still infesting parts of the nest or as a misguided attempt at conciliation. If the former, it is clear there is still much work to be done in clearing the Augean stables of the Labour machinery (sorry for multiple mixed metaphors), if the latter, it is seriously foolish as those who are kicking up a fuss about supposed anti-semitism will never be satisfied until Labour is back in the hands of the pro-war, pro-Israel neoliberal extremists. I agree entirely with Chris Williamson that dealing with the fake anti-semitism smears with any degree of seriousness has been a massive mistake.

As long as they learn our language and don't attempt to foist their ways onto us I don't mind what they do!!

Have you looked at the thread directly above your post? Do you realise she said Jews were largely to blame for the slave trade?

[ZoyzaSorris]

Oh do fuck off.

That's not what she said.  You know that.  I'm sure I discussed this with you a couple of years ago, as did many others.

She said "many Jews" were the "chief financiers" of the slave trade. If that doesn't translate to "largely responsible" then we must speak a different language.

No need to translate it, as it's in English already.

Hope this helps!

I agree, the cunt element of the party really do need to fuck off.

Where is the other breast.  Can't be behind the head, too large, is it stretched around and over the other shoulder?  He's a very tolerant man.  But imagine, whoever drew it, spending all that time, beavering away and not thinking it through or having any understanding of female anatomy at all.  Maybe they based it on their mum.

Still, good effort and I'm glad they've put in dear old Martin.  Nice to see they've included some women and BAME individuals too.

The thread itself is now binned.

Do we know why?


Meanwhile, my social media is trying to get indignant about the 27 Labour MPs who defied the whip to vote against the 2nd ref IV last night. For me I think this underlines why the leadership have held out on it for so long. And for those who come back with the "lack of leadership" charge, I refer you to Harriet Harman in 2015 when Cameron brought the Tory austerity plan to parliament.

[king_tubby]

Ah, I saw he was updating bits of it after he posted so he may have deleted and started again.

Blasphemy!
