Jeremy Corbyn on Piers Morgan

firstpasttheposter · 15/11/2023 12:13

Just watched the trainwreck Jeremy Corbyn interview. I sometimes find it a bit annoying myself the way Piers talks over people when I want to hear what the guest has to say. However, surely Corbyn knows Piers' interview style? This is an experienced politician, and the question was very predictable. Had he not prepared an answer? Other guests manage the quick-fire style, still manage to get their point across and remain professional and confident - they don't just slump behind the table and sulk! Did he really think PM was going to say 'Oh, you're right! this interview style that's earned me millions is actually just bad journalism. I'll listen respectfully while you have your say and then you can ask me some questions'?

Jez. The hard left never back down, they double down.

I stand by everything I said during covid btw, and not because I'm hard left, but because I still think I was right. I think if people had paid attention to what I was saying, schools wouldn't have had to close the second time.

It's why I never name changed to get away from the haters.

Just joking with you

You don't have to defend yourself with me

I appreciate the fact you stick to what you believe and don't let others change that

noblegiraffe · 03/12/2023 23:31

Oh I change what I believe if someone presents a good argument as to why I'm wrong.

It just doesn't happen often 😉

Trulywonderful · 03/12/2023 23:35

I sometimes change what I think about something halfway through writing a post. Then have to rewrite it.

You are at least more stick to your guns than me

noblegiraffe · 04/12/2023 01:27

You definitely weren't this nice to me during covid, you have changed your mind there too!

Trulywonderful · 04/12/2023 08:45

Most the time I am pretty much the same towards people whether I agree with them or not. Other than referring to any fuckwittery on their part. You probably just feel I wasn't pleasant because I was disagreeing with some of your posts. I can be a total pain in the backside if I am challenging a poster.

I actually can't remember much about our conversations. Just that we disagreeing about when schools should open but agreed in general about covid tests etc

Here is Jeremy Corbyn, in a hemp cafe, with an Irish band called Kneecap, one of whom is wearing a balaclava, discussing how the situation in Gaza didn't start with the "resistance" on October 7th.

😂Only Jez could sit there with a bloke in a balaclava having tea like it was a normal thing

As normal he did one sided bit on the history. The truth doesn't take away from the settlements or wrong doing towards the Arabs. Therefore it is just so messed up that he does this. If you are going to talk about history tell all the history from both sides and the helps to explain how we got to where things are. These kids are getting sucked in by a radicalisation people like Jez has helped to promote.

Those boys look barely out of school not seeing them fully understand what their own country has been through or the politics and how the peace process happened.

You would have thought his 7th October resistance comment would be a criminal offence by now. I mean he is basicly saying that Hamas is a resistance group rather than terrorists. Surely that should count as supporting terrorism.

That's proper The Day Today 😂

noblegiraffe · 04/12/2023 21:59

I showed DH and he was just like 'The balaclava. The BALACLAVA'

I can't get over how they're all sipping tea. Apparently the hemp cafe is owned by Jeremy Corbyn's son. Nothing like a bit of free publicity.

Trulywonderful · 04/12/2023 22:00

Oh of course it is his son's place. That makes sense at least.

I remember reading something that mentioned his son and hemp

I would now get him a balaclava for Christmas as a joke

You can have tea parties with him wearing it

Queucumber · 04/12/2023 22:15

Corbyn’s quite used to talking to people who wear balaclavas.

noblegiraffe · 04/12/2023 22:19

Yes, normal day at the office for Corbyn.

I'm not sure I'll be buying DH a balaclava as I find the terrorist sympathiser look a bit of a turn-off.

"Then Levey looks me straight in the eye. “But I will reiterate, as a rule of thumb, maybe don’t say antisemitic things, if you’re worried about that being a slur. It’s probably best to keep shtoom.” I double-check: “If you’re worried about people continually calling you antisemitic, maybe don’t say antisemitic things?” “It’s not a bad rule of thumb,” Levey concludes".

I haven't been on here much lately so this may have been posted already. I've always wondered what the dinner table chat would be like at Maison du Loach avec the Jewish family. Bit about Walker in there too

Nice to see you here, we miss you❤

And thank you for bringing me something to read. I love gifts from visitors 😁

Anyone vote for Corbyn at the last election for PM?

Was that a good decision?

Anyone planning to vote for Starmer at the next GE?

He recommended Corbyn unreservedly in 2019 for PM.

Trust his judgement?

No, normally a Labour supporter but when he was leader could not vote

Yes because I couldn't in good faith vote for him and still sleep at night

Starmer is a tricky one. I really thought him being a barrister and the head of crown prosecutions we had finally a good candidate for leader. However he has been disappointing so far. Except the odd moment in the house of commons. Also do I trust that Labour has got rid of the worst Jez fans. However yes I will more than likely vote Labour again

With the Starmer and Jez thing it is fairly simple in fact. As a Jewish person I know that some anti Jew types are sly. We all know Jez is sly and tricky to pin down on his iffy behaviour towards Jews. Therefore I don't even personally call him antisemitic. I just say he has Jew hating friends. Anyway Starmer should have known what most of us know about Jez. Maybe he thought it wasn't true or maybe he ignored it. However if as a Jewish person I cancelled everyone associated or friends with the likes of Jez, there would be nobody left. Jew haters are numerous and people that ignore Jew hate are even more numerous.

Do I trust his judgement. I am not 100% but he is showing more bulls and not flip flopping as must. Therefore by the election I may be more definite about him who knows. I will probably vote for him even if not 100% because frankly what other choices has we got.

Would you prefer Corbyn as Jesus or Corbyn as an underwear model for Christmas?
