The Tory damage limitation specialists are wasted here and should apply for jobs at the telegraph or mail.

Oh yeah It's all a big conspiracy.

Or do you actually mean Jews know your place, because that's what it sounds like to me.

ImAIdoot · 14/08/2018 08:57

Don't try to straw-man with 'there it is'. It's unbecoming.

Actually I hit the nail on the head, the capitalised BUT is where you began the edgy equivocation, making a lie of everything before it. This is one of the advantages of having kids, you develop a bullshit detector.

...and don't presume to tell me what is "unbecoming", thanks. What would be unbecoming would be being patronized by momentum twirps.

Helmetbymidnight · 14/08/2018 08:57

I would have thought an anti-Semitic crusader like metoo would have been on to it by now. Ho hum.

Yes apologies, I should have used the swear words instead.

KittyHawke80 · 14/08/2018 08:57

You best not be talking about me. ‘Deranged’ is a clinical term, widely used by psychiatrists - and entirely apposite in this case. MH slurs, indeed.

The support of terrorists should be a resigning matter.

I don't believe JC does support terrorists. I believe that there is an orchestrated press campaign to smear him. I don't think he does any favours supporting the likes of Dianne Abbott - it is misplaced loyalty.

But on the subject of resigning matters - what about, expenses frauds (all parties), undeclared interests, "mistakes" about what is owned and not declared, nepotism, tax avoidance, moving assets because of insider information, promoting some activities eg fracking because of monetary self-interest, inappropriate sexual conduct . . . the list goes on and on.

All of our parties are largely corrupt - but I think that there is a core of honesty in the Labour party that doesn't run through the Tories.

The smaller parties (greens etc) are sadly too weak to provide a threat to the Tories.

Labour was destroyed by Tony Blair and is taking a long time to fully recover. Is Corbyn the best choice for leader? I don't know, but I believe him to be an honest individual who sticks by his principles. There aren't many of those about.

Our present government is useless and know it - they are just cashing in as much as they can before this country ends up in the toilet. They don't care about anyone who can't offer them a backhander. They don't give a damn about the environment (except in the Home Counties). and regard the North and the people who live there as totally expendable.

Needed the face of evidence they eithe call fake news or crazy

These momentum followed sound more like trumpers day by day

Yes I do think it’s important to have a leader of the Labour Party that deals with rather than ignore the anti semitism in the party from his associates and holds the government to account

I think that the least we should expect

Metoodear · 14/08/2018 09:09

I do believe trump was caught doing the alt right hand signaling as well so good bedfellows

roundaboutthetown · 14/08/2018 09:11

And there was me thinking Boris Johnson was using Trump as inspiration.

roundaboutthetown · 14/08/2018 09:11

I see no resemblance whatsoever between Corbyn and Trump.

sunshinesupermum · 14/08/2018 09:12

If Jeremy Corbyn was a better leader of the Labour Party than Tony Blair he would be miles ahead of Theresa May and her useless government in the polls. He isn't. Corbyn and his bunch of Momentum thugs have destroyed the Labour Party just as it was destroyed in the 1970s which led to Margaret Thatchers government.

It isn't just support of terrorists but Corbyn's choice of commemorating the terrorist butchers of Olympian athletes illustrates his lack of awareness of what a politician should and should not do. He may be a pacifist but that does not solve the problems in the Middle East. He is no better than that twat Boris Johnson.

SillySallySingsSongs · 14/08/2018 09:13

I see no resemblance whatsoever between Corbyn and Trump.

I see quite a bit of similarity between supporters of both.

They seem to excuse their actions, believe they are untouchable and can do no wrong.

GhostofFrankGrimes · 14/08/2018 09:14

The hard Brexiteer Tories can’t wait to suckle on corporate America’s teat. Hello private health care, bye bye NHS.

roundaboutthetown · 14/08/2018 09:15

He is no better, but the worse someone is as a politician these days, the more popular they are.

roundaboutthetown · 14/08/2018 09:16

SillySallySingsSongs - see my above comment... our media are a bunch of twerps.

sunshinesupermum · 14/08/2018 09:17

SillySally I do too. Their 'heroes' can do no wrong it seems and everything is just 'false news'.

Ghost It amazes me that Brexiteers don't seem to realise the downsides of sucking on America's teat. There is NO special relationship between the UK and USA, only what benefits the USA or as Trump calls it 'America First'.

bananafish81 · 14/08/2018 09:22

I don't know, but I believe him to be an honest individual who sticks by his principles. There aren't many of those about.

Do those principles include refusing to condemn or take action about incidents of anti semitism within the Labour party (blaming Jews for all the world's evils, that the Jews financed the slave trade etc, as outlined above)

DaisyTwirl · 14/08/2018 09:23

I see no resemblance whatsoever between Corbyn and Trump.

😂
Apart from the blatantly lying about things we have seen & heard ourselves.

We saw the pictures, we read his own words, we heard him say what he said.

But apparently we need to suspend reality because he now claims it didn't actually happen?

Nice one Corbyn.

Again very selective. The brexit campaign was full of disinformation and mistruths. Some lies clearly matter more than others.

I’d be more concerned about riders of the big red bus of shame now being in high office.

Thread: Corbyn lied

Corbyn Fangirls: But, but, but, WHATABOUT???!!!!

GhostofFrankGrimes · 14/08/2018 09:31

Level playfielding. Anything else just looks disingenuous.

roundaboutthetown · 14/08/2018 09:34

There is no point whatsoever comparing Corbyn with Trump, as they clearly have very different views on pretty much everything. Comparing them just highlights the fact that many people now believe that all news is fake news, anyway, so obvious campaigns by strongly political newspapers will always backfire and annoy people. An anti-Corbyn article in The Telegraph or The Daily Mail is just a big yawn as it's impossible to tell what is fact and what is spin.
