To think it’s utterly disgraceful that Corbyn hasn’t resigned

The man is the reason the Labour Party didn’t stand a chance in the GE

Yet today he doesn’t even have the good grace or integrity to step aside

Is their anyone at all who supports him in that decision?

@BlueSwathesChoose

No, I don't respect the choice to vote in a government that has been ruining people's lives. Of course I don't. Popularity of opinion is no blanket of righteousness.

Not111 · 15/12/2019 11:47

So you only respect people’s right to a choice as long as you personally approve of their choice?

Gotcha.

The more stuff like this from Labour supporters I’ve read in the last few days, the more relieved I’ve become that they didn’t win.
The righteous dogma is just scary. You really don’t see what you’re parallel to, do you?

billysboy · 15/12/2019 11:51

Labour led by Corbyn ,McDonnell and Abbot have just missed the biggest open goal available to them in many years

They are all that deluded and its everyone's fault but theirs , that they haven't even got the decency to resign

With attitudes like this so prevalent Boris will come back time and time again

Username198 · 15/12/2019 12:03

Exactly

Trewser · 15/12/2019 12:04

I agree - the frankly weird dogmatic aggressive stuff I've read since Thursday has made me feel rather relieved Labour didn't get enough seats to cause a hung parliament.

Hopefully the Green Party might also start to moderate themselves and make some gains over the next 10 years, as Labour are effectively finished.

Trewser · 15/12/2019 12:09

I think Twitter has a lot to do with the disconnect- on Thursday it was awash with rumours from an Australian journo that the exit poll would suggest Boris lost his seat.

No thought given to the fact that the exit poll results aren't released until 10 so how would she have known?

It was so obviously bollocks but people were sharing the shit out of it.

Username198 · 15/12/2019 12:10

I'm just glad we've got new decent MPs like Sally-Ann Hart and Lee Anderson.

TheBlueStocking · 15/12/2019 13:11

I don't respect the choices of others when they lead to pain and suffering in other people's lives and I stand by the right not to respect them. That you expect silence from those who don't agree with you speaks volumes. I haven't attempted to silence you. But I won't agree with you.

koshkat · 15/12/2019 13:16

I think everyone who voted for them has contributed to an incredibly vile system and consider them morally dubious, either deliberately or through stupidity or ability to be manipulated. I'm only sorry that people couldn't see what's happening around them for what it is.

There it is. If we did not vote foe the shitshow of Labour then we are all thickos or hate poor people.
So fucking tone deaf it's untrue.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day.

Well it's what you are telling me actually.

TheBlueStocking · 15/12/2019 13:23

Yeah, I think your behaviour is execrable. But if you need to scrabble around for excuses, do so.

Seahorseshoe · 15/12/2019 13:26

He hasn't got anything to add value to the Labour Party, it's been hurt enough this past few days, he'd have been wise to stand down by now.

He's just going to continue to wind people up, including labour members, his arrogance is astounding.

koshkat · 15/12/2019 13:27

Well I stood up for what I believe in - the rights of women and girls - and spoiled my ballot with a sticker.

It will be a cold day in hell before I vote Labour again (ex-party member who left because of their treatment of GC women) and, yes, I would have voted Tory to keep them out had it been a marginal seat.

I am not scrabbling around for excuses, just making a point.

koshkat · 15/12/2019 13:29

He's just going to continue to wind people up, including labour members, his arrogance is astounding.

So very true. He is doing so much harm. I even had a bet with my husband that he wouldn't go straight away, husband was convinced that he would do the decent thing. Not a fucking chance.

Well I hope you've saved another sticker to give yourself for your good deed. What a hero you are.

JEREMY Corbyn has announced that he and Labour are in a ‘process of reflection’ on what voters mean by telling him to ‘pss off’.*

Corbyn said: “I’ve always said how important it is to listen to ordinary voters. It’s just that ‘Shove your 70s bullsht up your ase sideways’ isn’t easily understood.

“So, for the next few months, we’ll be unpacking statements like ‘we hate you’, ‘this is all your fault’ and the short, pithy ‘get fked’ and trying to make sense of them.

“I will also, during this process of reflection, ensure that my hard-left colleagues tighten their stranglehold on the party and decide my replacement because who better? The Blairites? No thank you.

“I still think ‘Go and die, Obi Wan Fknuts’ could well mean ‘your manifesto is hugely popular and you’re the man for us’. If given the correct Marxist reading.”

Love that! Grin

Love that too.

BlueSwathesChoose · 15/12/2019 14:00

radio 4 just interviewed Laura Parker of Momentum about who shoudl replace Corbyn.

She said that any name coming from her mouth would be the kiss of death.

More self-reflection than anything I've seen yet.

Bearbehind · 15/12/2019 15:55

It would seem that having hide as thick as a rhino’s is a trait of not only Corbyn but of his disciples too.

I find it quite extraordinary that the likes of arse and dark are still just slagging of the Tories and anyone who voted for them.

At some point you’re going to have to acknowledge that many of us didn’t vote Tory because we actively support them but because we recognised that another hung parliament was absolutely not what we need and the only other party who could possibly get a majority had zero had any chance of doing so due to their absurd policies and toxic leader

Corbyn gave this GE to the Tories and those who still support him are as much to blame for that as those of us who actively chose it.

BlueStockingyou are not being tolerant or respectful of other views

But then the shouty left are not tolerant anymore of dissent or listening to other's voices

It saddens me, as a former committed Labour party voter (and former member)

Agree with all of this. I first voted in 1979, voted Labour in every election to 2015.

People like Bluestocking Owen Jones and Ash Sarkar telling me I'm an ignorant, selfish racist or similar won't get me back.
