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?

Ufffff 2 former female Labour MPs on Channel 4 news tonight. BRUTAL. He hasn’t even reached out to them or their staff to say sorry. He said sorry because he was forced. They were BRUTAL.

Did your friend Doris tell you that at the bingo hall?

If there was any doubt you hadn't lost credibility several pages back this gem nailed it. What a nasty piece of work you are Bluestocking

So back to your article you posted.

You wanted to discuss the murky waters of Russian interference and allude to others being wrong.

You didn't even need to read the link I provided as it was just a transcript from a talk with a leading academic in such things.

It automatically plays so you can just listen to it, if you follow the links to provide further reading as to why your article should be treated with some kind of skepticism, you being an english teacher should know this, I would have thought when you brought it to the table you was confident with a rebuttal, and yet here you are still ignoring it.

Is it that difficult to go off script, do english teachers just shut down when they are presented with opposition that they asked for, should we just agree with your biased source and pretend it's everyone else who lives in an echo chamber.

Find out next time as a momentum bot ignores difficult questions and still hovers over forums hoping to gotcha people.

@Justanotherlurker

No, you've convinced me. The news that there's fake news is fake news. Makes perfect sense.

Wow, Blue the things you are saying are deeply unpleasant on this thread. Rein it in a bit because you are not coming across well at all.

TheBlueStocking · 18/12/2019 10:32

Wow, Blue the things you are saying are deeply unpleasant on this thread.

I didn't vote in a government that punishes disabled people for being disabled. So I'm not really going to take a moral critique from you.

koshkat · 18/12/2019 10:46

And neither did I since I spoiled my ballot.

This is on the LP fair and square and your lame efforts to blame the thick, racist electorate are pathetic. Listen rather than spew vitriol and you may well learn something.

It's not happening though, is it - and I don't just mean on this thread but everywhere

As a genuine floating voter, the sheer reluctance to face facts, learn from this and move on to something better honestly worries me. I've voted Labour before and hope to again in future, but right now all I'm seeing is no effective opposition to the Tories and 2024 being thrown as well Sad

TheBlueStocking · 18/12/2019 11:49

Even worse, in my opinion. Utterly childish.

I don't intend to listen to the message that disabled people deserve to die if it keeps Corbyn out.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 18/12/2019 12:02

It's just as well, then, that nobody on here's suggested disabled folk deserve to die ... after all you'd need to be a pretty ghastly sort of person to even think like that

TheBlueStocking · 18/12/2019 12:15

Well, disabled people died under the Conservative government and they've just been given carte blanch to carry on, as far as I'm concerned. That's part of the reason why people are so incredibly angry about the election result.

Showing that excellent reading comprehension again I see.

I'm going to back out of this thread blue because I think you have issues that I don't want to worsen. That message is something you have validated in your own head, and far from making you compassionate it makes you sound as though you are hearing voices. I hope you can find peace, genuinely.

You keep those blinkers on, sweetie. You were right to vote for the Conservatives. Keep telling yourself that. Hope you don't have any disabled friends or relatives you need to worry about, like I do. I've already seen them go through hell over the last ten years.

I must have imagined my mum going to court to get access to the benefits she was entitled to.

yorkshirebloke1 · 18/12/2019 12:36

The man is simply a disgrace with no shame. He should go a long way away and be prevented from public speaking for at least 5 years.

derxa · 18/12/2019 12:46

Blue The PLP disagree with your views on Corbyn. Some of them actually hate him. Why do you think this is?

www.smh.com.au/world/europe/comatose-tony-blair-hits-out-at-jeremy-corbyn-over-labour-s-massive-defeat-20191218-p53lav.html

London: Tony Blair has warned his defeated Labour party that they will remain "marooned on fantasy island" and will be finished and replaced if they don't expel Jeremy Corbyn's hard-left socialism, which voters emphatically rejected last week.

Labour's last election-winning prime minister told an audience in London that the crumbling of the red wall - seats in the north and midlands, including the loss of his constituency Sedgefield to the Tories, was "no ordinary defeat" but "a moment in history”.

Blair said that under Corbyn, "the takeover of the Labour Party by the far left turned it into a glorified protest movement, with cult trimmings, utterly incapable of being a credible government".

He likened Labour to a football team, "whose striker was directionally oblivious, its midfield comatose, the defence absent in the stand chatting to a small portion of the fans and its goalkeeper behind the net retweeting a clip of his one save in a 9-0 thrashing."

"Any fool can promise everything for free," Blair said.
