Corbyn is lovely, why the negativity?

Really, why?
Just because he's a bit different in his presentation. He in principled and compassionate, I for one wish he would become the PM.

I'd vote Roy Cropper as PM if he had a political party 😂

'And cardigans for ALL!!!'

Lindy2 · 19/04/2017 16:11

He won't even sing our National Anthem. I'm not sure he even particularly likes being British.
Not a suitable PM (or even MP) as far as I'm concerned.

SpikeGilesSandwich · 19/04/2017 16:12

He is a dangerous and highly unrealistic idiot. Please do not vote for this man.

Batgirlspants · 19/04/2017 16:26

birds I hope not. Sad

Elendon there's a tad bit of difference between engaging in friendly and supportive engagement with terrorists who murder democratically elected MPs of his own country and countless thousands of other innocent people and engaging in discussions with people who have renounced violence and want to engage in a peace process.

Hmm
Batgirlspants · 19/04/2017 16:28

paul it's a bloody awful dilemma isn't it. Lots of good solid labour MPs wil loose their seats.

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 19/04/2017 16:28

I don't think JC likes being British either

Particularly white, middles class and privileged (not to the level as Cameron) he has lived a life he seems to despise

GREATAUNT1 · 19/04/2017 16:32

Me & you both Wettingthetopbunkbed. They're terrified of him because he has principals, & people have no idea what they are.

NoLotteryWinYet · 19/04/2017 16:33

Yes there is a difference between supporting the peace process and saying McGuinness was a great family man. Hitler doubtless loved his pets.

NoLotteryWinYet · 19/04/2017 16:34

His principles are personal ambition over electability surely? That's plain to see

RortyCrankle · 19/04/2017 17:13

If you think he's bonkers, Diane Abbott has definitely lost the plot. Probably happened after her fling with Corbyn Grin www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/diane-abbott-interview-labour-party-jeremy-corbyn-general-election-a7635706.html

originalbiglymavis · 19/04/2017 17:16

I'm not a fan of Diane. She like a very earnest Enid Blyton school girl.

Our Jeremy ❤ He's the perfect antidote to that nutty old crumple faced hag.

Our Jeremy ❤ He's the perfect antidote to that nutty old crumple faced hag.

Yes because crass sexism and ageism as values are such attractive rallying cries

smashyourglasses · 19/04/2017 17:29

But let's ignore her dreadful policies and obvious mental impairment 👍👍

makeourfuture · 19/04/2017 18:06

I am not sure that there isn't a bit of bigotry behind the Abbot hate.

Livelovebehappy · 19/04/2017 18:09

smashyourglasses; you've already lost the argument when you get personal about someone's age and looks as a platform to denounce their policies.

originalbiglymavis · 19/04/2017 18:10

I've always found her irritating. I disagree with most of what comes out of her mouth, she talks down to people, and she has a nasty bullying tone.

smashyourglasses · 19/04/2017 18:11

But no comment with regard to her raging mental illness and political incompetance. Good-oh 👍

smashyourglasses · 19/04/2017 18:14

Also: i'm not here to argue or debate. Merely point out the obvious 🤗

ghostyslovesheets · 19/04/2017 18:16

'raging mental illness' - blimey you must be a very good, fully qualified psychiatrist to be able to diagnose people without meeting them

but you make out that people with mental health problems should hide away because it's so shameful - nice

I dislike TM because I disagree with her policies on austerity, education reform, Brexit and the NHS - I don't need to insult her looks, her age or her mental health to make a point

smashyourglasses · 19/04/2017 18:20

Thank you. Whilst i support people with mental health problems and think they should be given every opportunity, i'd say we're not in a good position to have a raging nutter like that in charge of the country. Yes, i would say that.

originalbiglymavis · 19/04/2017 18:23

As a therapist I can confirm that neither term is used in the profession with regards to diagnosis.

ghostyslovesheets · 19/04/2017 18:23

'raging nutter' - lovely no offensive language there - very mature

you are behaving like a 12 year old on snapchat!

ApplePaltrow22 · 19/04/2017 18:25

why do you keep calling May a raging nutter? What about her is even raging or nutty? I don't even really get it.

you don't like her policies. You don't like her values. Can't you just say that?

smashyourglasses · 19/04/2017 18:26

Like the kid in the emporer's new clothes.

Save yourself time and assume i don't give a fuck 👌
