Corbyn at the Pink News awards last night. Ridiculous. As if life isn't complicated enough without pushing the idea that EVERYONE should introduce their pronouns and remember each others, whatever they may be!

So pretentious, I know many gay people who will be cringing at this nonsense. Does Pink News exist to support or embarrass LGBT people?

This will definitely connect Corbyn back to the working classes. Hmm I'm a lifelong Labour voter, but sod it, I will vote Boris this time. Yes yes, I know of his many flaws, but if Lib Dems or Labour get in this stuff is just going to get completely bonkers (plus other reasons)

That’s it, I’m done with my party.

Jezza is just a buoy bouncing around on the tides of his advisers, except when he falls back into intransigent student ideology from the 1970s.

His lack of a decent education really shows.

He doesn't usually do this, so I assume it is simply to make a point on this occasion.

Which it seems to have done (would be no thread f it hadn')

He's an effective speaker when you are in the room. Though the latest opinion polls show this is not translating into wider support.

Corbyn is a dick.

I recently went to the science museum in Boston and every speaker and demonstrator did this. It pissed me off, not least because any Qs from the audience after each thing would have been direct, so no need for pronouns!

Well yes I am aware strangely enough that corbyn is a man. It isn't his pronouns that make me know that, it's examples such as the Jewish woman on radio 4 a few minutes ago who described how the Labour party is targeting Jewish MPs and in particular female Jewish MPs. Oddly those hounding those female mps didn't bother themselves with worrying how those women identified, they just magically knew which ones to target. Under corbyns leadership. So yes I know he is a man.

FGS, he's called Jeremy and has a beard - was anyone ever in doubt? Now had he announced they were she/her that would've been news!

This pathetic nonsense is the reason my daughter is called male, or asked how she identifies. Fuck You and everyone else who is elevating sexist stereotypes above reality! If children hate their bodies it's because we are teaching them to hate them. I am so disappointed with every useful idiot who goes along with this nonsense.
