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?

If you need to tell yourself that anyone who disagrees with you does so because they're robotically following a script, I think you need to examine why you're struggling so much to accept the existence of simple, ordinary people who find your actions incredibly disturbing.

Corbyn should’ve gone in 2017, he seemed to think not winning against May but not losing by as much as he did this time was some sort of bizarre victory. I agree we live in new political times.

Oh and you can’t count all non Tory votes together - plenty of SNP and Lib Dem voters would not have wanted a Corbyn led group, it’s more complex than that.

You’d think the Corbyn group would realise their message of media bias duping people was deeply unpopular as a sound bite, whatever they thought of the veracity. The SNP doesn’t talk about media bias.

TheBlueStocking · 17/12/2019 08:15

We should be talking about media bias worldwide. It's a really serious problem.

reallychristmasaaagain · 17/12/2019 12:06

Not a vote winner though is it, whining? It’s never been so easy to get your message out directly on Twitter/Facebook etc.

TheBlueStocking · 17/12/2019 12:40

You're a particularly awful person if you call worrying about people in poverty, people homeless on the streets, people committing suicide over government policy whining.

koshkat · 17/12/2019 12:44

Weaponising suicide is not a good look. I have seen it a lot lately from woman hating TRA groups as well.

This.

reallychristmasaaagain · 17/12/2019 12:47

I didn’t call worrying about poverty whining, you are whining about media bias, endlessly and it’s having the opposite of the effect you want.

Trewser · 17/12/2019 12:49

Boris is a liar??

What about Corbyn waving that dossier about like a tit? Saying it proved beyond doubt the NHS was going to be sold to the US? It didn't.

koshkat · 17/12/2019 12:49

Spectacular own goal.

Trewser · 17/12/2019 12:54

It came down to Corbyn trying to frighten people and Boris trying to make people feel positive.

Weird hobby to be joining woman hating TRA groups.

I'm super happy for you that Boris gave you some positive vibes. Although, it does make me wonder what you've been smoking.

CendrillonSings · 17/12/2019 13:19

All Corbyn did was miserabilist whining: our country is shit, we’re shit, everything is poverty, decline, degradation...

I got depressed just listening to that pillock for 30 seconds. By contrast, Boris actually seems to like the country he aspired to lead...

So you're willfully blind to the world around you. That's cute.

Be nice to hear an innocent explanation for this from the Boris lovers on this thread. I'm sure it was just a bit of friendly government funded joshing, right? That Boris is such a card.

Trewser · 17/12/2019 13:47

I couldn't care less. Just delighted Corbyn and pals aren't in. I'll open a bottle of champagne when he finally steps down.

You’re blind to the fact that most of the electorate don’t live in your miserabilist world. That’s why you lost the election in a landslide Smile

TheBlueStocking · 17/12/2019 13:50

No, I'm sadly aware of the proliferation of selfish people in this country. You enjoy your champagne.

Trewser · 17/12/2019 13:51

There's nothing you can say that will make me feel bad or guilty so don't bother.

TheBlueStocking · 17/12/2019 13:52

Said Patrick Bateman.

Have a holly-jolly Christmas!

Just delighted Corbyn and pals aren't in Yes a weight fell off my shoulders on Friday. Nothing could convince me that Corbyn could run a country. I'm not a BJ fan and I'm a remainer but...

TheBlueStocking · 17/12/2019 13:56

Yes, hope you get everything you've wished for for the new year too.
