Just watching McDonnell now - in a weird way, I quite like that they stuff the speeches with the faithful

Means the viewers at home can hear the booing (for eg when Ian Austin was mentioned) and the demented cheering whenever he mentions RADICAL SOCIAL CHANGE

Really gets across the cult mentality

I've just seen on Guido that my constituency is on the LibDem/Green/Plaid pact list.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

That'll save the Green Party £500. They lost it last time, and the time before and the time before...
I'm not in Wales so Plaid is irrelevant.

In 2017, my Conservative MP took six thousand votes off the LibDem candidate to add to her already hefty majority. The Labour Party took another 3000 votes off the LibDems: they still came nowhere but at least they broke their duck and got their £500 back.

So in answer to my own question of "who benefits?", the answer is clear. The Labour Party to the tune of £500. Still no cigar though.

Just been surveyed by telephone! Was initially suspicious it was a scammer selling magic beans, but it was genuine. Answered questions about previous/future voting intentions, what issues mattered to me, what result I expected nationally & locally, what advertising I'd seen on social media.

Any chance of some Brexit candidates going into a pact with anyone?

Epicwaffle · 07/11/2019 12:13

The devil? It would be a good fit for the Brexit Party Grin

This from Guido about John McDonnell:

"Today’s spectacular Labour second independence referendum row sparked by John McDonnell has overshadowed a far more sinister policy proposal put forward by the Shadow Chancellor last night in conversation with Iain Dale. His desire to imprison his political opponents.

Corbyn’s notoriously aggressive deputy was challenged about past footage of him calling Tories “social criminals” who should be tried in court, initially shrugging it off and saying “I was angry. It was after the first round of benefit cuts”. When Dale pressed him and asked what law Tories would be tried under, McDonnell replied, "I might want to invent it”.

He has a long long history of making aggressive comments and encouraging or condoning violence.

As for the rule of law, well isn't this the same John McDonnell who was actually sacked from the GLC by Ken Livingstone for setting an illegal budget and being too extreme?

How extreme do you have to be that even Red Ken doesn't want you anywhere near him?

“In 2006, McDonnell said that "Marx, Lenin and Trotsky" were his "most significant" intellectual influences.[35]”

“Look, I’m straight, I’m honest with people: I’m a Marxist."[36] He was accused of celebrating the financial crisis of 2007–2008; McDonnell denied the allegation and claimed he was "joking".[36] During an interview with Andrew Marr when the footage was played and McDonnell was asked, "Are you a Marxist?", he replied: "I believe there's a lot to learn from reading Kapital,”

6 and 2 3s Epic. I am no keener on demonising eg JRM or Boris tbh. I tend to disregard all out of context quotes espec when they come from the likes of Guido and Momentum.

Not actually sure why they bother with an election campaign these days. Anyone interested has ready access to all the players on an ongoing basis. Anyone not so engaged is likely to remain oblivious to it all.

Tis a fair point.

Good afternoon everyone.
I'm also popping in for a frothy latte please landlady.
I like what you've done with the place. Very spick and span and slightly, spartan.
I've been busy growing marrows and courgettes to barter with. The elite prefer courgettes apparently.
Landlady, have a marrow on me to celebrate your tenure 🥒🥒🥒

GenuineQuestions · 07/11/2019 13:58

Oops.

It's early days, GenuineQuestions. I think the new Landlady hasn't had time yet to put up the muriel and the flying ducks. Smile

Epicwaffle · 07/11/2019 14:00

Morning genuine

Marrows have high value around here for bartering and banter, so you will be very popular indeed!

On that note, I must write a snooty letter to apple to demand a marrow emoji.

GenuineQuestions · 07/11/2019 14:01

Singing I thought it was a genteel introduction to the the world of corbyn ville...

GenuineQuestions · 07/11/2019 14:04

Epic, are you hinting that my marrow emoji, is not in fact, a marrow?

Of course I know that. I gave her a courgette, I didn't want to make a fuss or cause a stampede... And... I have someone delivering the marrow later, in suitable... Marrow delivering attire, as a gift.

(and now you've ruined it all). SadGrin

SingingLily · 07/11/2019 14:04

😂As long as we don't have to experience Corbyn ville in real life!

Now that would be grim.

Excellent! Just popping out for a bit, brb... 😂

Just musing about what Jezza would put in his sealed letters to the four Trident sub commanders if he ever reached No. 10.

"Comrade,

If the UK is attacked and completely annihilated - ground to dust - then I want you to invite the foreign leader concerned onto your top secret sub, give him or her a full guided tour and offer them a nice cup of tea and a chat about the way forward.

I also want you to provide them with a specimen of the debris from the nuclear missile and ask them if they would be so kind as to analyse it so they can confirm or deny whether it was actually one of theirs.

After all, anyone can make a mistake.

Yours in peace and solidarity,
Jeremy xxxx "

Do you think I might have a future in Jezza's team?

I never grow marrows or courgettes. More than one of either is dull and flaccid. It's just an exercise in showing you can grow stuff not growing stuff to actually eat or even share.

ArseDarkly · 07/11/2019 14:18

Thanks for the new thread comrade! Brew
