Nothing to do with politics but every time I see Jeremy Corbyn on tv I have this desire to get hold of him by his scraggy little neck and shake him. I am quite mild mannered, its just him Xmas Confused

I,m so ashamed of myself, season of goodwill etc.
I just had to let it out.

Don’t worry about it I have an overwhelming desire to punch him in the face. It’s obviously a perfectly natural reaction

AloneLonelyLoner · 23/12/2018 08:05

I have the same issue. It’s hard because I’m actually quite left wing and his stance on certain issues matches mine , but there is something about him which makes me furious.

I just want to shake him until he wakes up and starts being proactive about something - anything would do. But it's beyond him and so the Tories continue to get away with murder on so many fronts because there is NO opposition.

Almahart · 23/12/2018 08:08

It’s the tetchy self righteousness. I can’t bear him and can’t vote for him

treaclesoda · 23/12/2018 08:08

I can't bear him either.

JamieFraser · 23/12/2018 08:11

I think he's a very dangerous man. The sooner he is gone the better

Neverunderfed · 23/12/2018 08:14

I used to quite respect his principles. Now I find him smug and irritating. Which is hard because I'm pretty die hard left wing, and I have no 'home' any more.

Childrenofthesun · 23/12/2018 08:14

I don't think he's dangerous. The only danger is that he's so inept at leadership that we might be saddled with the worst Tory government there has ever been for years more. Larry the cat would be a more effective opposition leader.

I'm an old git, but don't care about Tatt's, piercings, rainbow hair, whatever floats yer boat, just can you do the job. Hell, I was a punk once. But with him I come over all judgemental. He's like a teenage boy who constantly needs his mum to tuck his shirt in or spit on her hankie and give him a wipe. I'd like to drag him in to an Italian tailor, here Jezza, this guy is gonna knock you out 3 decent suits. Fucking wear one.

I'm sorry to say I agree, maybe not with punching a grandad but after his tetchy "you not me " performance last week, we are done. So, I have no political home and am cross. And there are thousands who feel as I do and a large gap at the centre of politics is dangerous; we deserve better, from all of them.

SillySallySingsSongs · 23/12/2018 08:26

I know what you mean. He couldn't even tweet a simple message about Paddy Ashdown dying without point scoring. Hmm

longwayoff · 23/12/2018 08:26

However, pie-ing Rupert Murdoch, grandad or not, was magnificent.

Postino · 23/12/2018 08:27

I desperately wish he'd step aside for someone more competent. In fact it's hard to think of a Labour MP I wouldn't prefer as leader

Isitsixoclockalready · 23/12/2018 08:30

As this will probably descend quite quickly into a political discussion even if that wasn't the OP's intention, I will just say that I agree with his agenda to make the country fairer but his position on brexit is hugely frustrating. It won't put me off voting Labour but I do sometimes think that another leader would have made easy work of bringing this useless government down.

RedWineIsFabulous · 23/12/2018 09:31

YANBU at all.

I could do the same but also to the shit show that is Diane Abbott and John McDonnell too.

I think it's quite comical, it's highlighted that a lot of the self proclaimed "dyed in the wool, lefty liberals" are in fact neolibralirasim but can't accept it.

The fact he has had to come out again and spell out specifically that he would not cancel Brexit shows that there was an awful lot of projection and a lot dismissing of facts and critism of just fake news/Tory bots etc from his supporters that like to pretend they are the purveyors of truth and facts and logic.

The comical moment when a group on The People's march broke out into Oh Jeremy Corbyn shows how we are heading into a US style political landscape and that it's the so called left dragging us into it, would be even more comical if we hadn't got a seriously bad conservative government in power.
