This is what Jeremy Corbyn is about

[blacksunday]

If you're genuinely interested in hearing what he is about, here's an Andrew Marr interview where there is actually a discussion of his Corbyn's campaign, the issues, and what his political programme would look like:

Corbyn: I want to convert Labour into a 'more social movement'

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02y2ffn

Why would a republican ever sing the nation anthem.
Why would anyone respect a "Queen" indirectly responsible for the death of so many people.
JC was respectful to those who died, with silence.

Isitme, have you ever considered using your mind reading skills for good? I've never been able to discern somebody's position on enemas vs sock drawers from merely looking at them.

FYI I use my 60-year old Spidey Senses for good, but re Corbyn deciding to step down due to his comfort level, as Daredevil said, "we hall see said the blind man."

"we shall see...."

Are you my mother? She's 60 and always saying "we shall see said the blind man" (to his wife usually). If so, you haven't rung me today to tell me who's died. Is this because nobody's died or you haven't found a tenuous link between them, your neighbour in 1987 and the woman from laundrette with the wonky eye yet?

squidzin .... re your Why would anyone respect a "Queen" indirectly responsible for the death of so many people.

Are you yet another Mumsnet poster in some far flung anti western establishment spin room - we are talking about Lizzie the 2nd, not the 1st - how the heck is she responsible for deaths numb nuts when it is parliament that decides?

*the laundrette

I said indirectly responsible.
She's a fucking Nazi sympathiser. The RF are a bunch of fascist.

Re Are you my mother? She's 60 and always saying "we shall see said the blind man" (to his wife usually).

So your mother has a wife, no worries, I'm open minded.

The you tended to get ageist and rambled a bit, but thats ok to.

Re your mother and her partner, I have another old saying somewhat out of context;

"If your father had boobs he'd be your grandmother".

But in all seriousness, if I was your mother and you were supporting Corbyn, I wouldn't have been calling you at all ... .I'd have fecking disowned you, cut you out my Will, and moved without a forwarding address. lol

squidzin .... re your I said indirectly responsible.
She's a fucking Nazi sympathiser. The RF are a bunch of fascist.

Now your lack of intelligence is insulting the RF you ignorant ...... Russian.

No doubt pissed off the RF supported the last Russian Czar before your lot butchered him and his family - how brave they were.

You are typical of the hard left idjuts that support Corbyn, thats why he/you should never run this country. Thanks for you input.

Not bringing yourself to sing the National Anthem yesterday on the 75th services anniversary was not just disrespectful to the Queen, I could handle that, but disrespectful to those who have EVER fought for queen and country.
What total rubbish.
Surely someone would show far more disrespect by negating their life-long principles to conform with what some expect of them?

Yes I can understand why some find his stance offensive but I would find it far more offensive if he had denied his principles.
For instance, as an atheist, I attend weddings and funerals held in churches out of respect for the wishes desires and beliefs of those who are most involved.
Surely you wouldn't expect me to take part in the prayers or sing the hymns as well?
Or would you?

No Gas, I would not, but you are not one general election away from being Prime Minister.

Are you suggesting that everything the Labour Party now stands for and their behaviour, should be rebuilt 100% around Corbyns principles/policies - as I have yet to know any leader outside the likes of the Soviet Union that imposes 100% of their will on their party/administration.

P.S. If Corbyn has a lifelong principle of 'better out than in' - should we allow bottom burping during public occasions - and should be ban TV sound mics to accommodate?

I wasn't being ageist, I was describing my mother to you. She happens to be sixty, same as you. She phones every day. She always, always tells me who has died. She hasn't phoned yet today. Nowt ageist about that.

To put it in simpler terms so you may understand what I was saying. My mother like to say "I see, said the blind man to his wife". Sometimes to his deaf wife. That's my mother. Subtle changes. Different twists on the same tired saying, different people dying, different tenuous connections.

I was just chatting to you, but never mind.

Are you my mother

I'll accept that you really respect me as you really thought that I really could be your mother posting to you - rather than trying to be 'smart' - so apologise for daring to think that you could be smart.

Not even slightly.
Nor for that matter is Corbyn

What I was suggesting was that I believe that most people are capable of understanding that a committed republican can be just as patriotic as a committed royalist.
And just as respectful at public events.

I have to admit that I find the idea that a possible future prime minister should have to deny his principles whilst an ordinary person like you or me is allowed them seems rather strange

Protocol is a feature within high office; I would suggest that those that neither believe in them or feel the need to be seen to rebel, should not apply for high office.

It is like school uniform, without it there would be anarchy. lol

Moreover looking like some biker Greek Finance Ministers ,or having been dragged through a hedge backwards, immediately causes others in high office to respect their opposite number less, which is a disadvantage in politics/negotiations ?? for what, a politicians belief that their principles are more import than the State?

Politics are also about compromise, and in football parlance no one person is more important than the team.

Great. our resident right winger believes that if you dont act and behave like a resident right winger you shouldn't apply for high office.

Hail democracy!

Every time Corbyn is mentioned in a news report on the BBC he is referred to as 'the left wing Labour Party leader'. In the interest of fairness and un-biased reporting, Cameron should also be referred to in terms of his place on the political spectrum - 'the right-wing Prime Minister '

A lot of the problems in politics arise from the willingness of many politicians to compromise their principles.

yy bat and gas.

The Bbc is not impartial. I wish it were but it is under the thumb of a bunch of hedge-fund ex-banker right wingers. (therefore anti JC)

So is the Guardian. The Guardian is supposedly left-wing but it is Blairite. Have you seen their board of directors? A bunch of inhereted-millions ex-investment banker, PR consultant types. (therefore anti-JC).

All establishment news is agenda laden with anti JC because they fear his policies.

I hope one of the first things a successful Labour gvt does is abolish TV liscence fee.

Why are we paying for BBC Propaganda?

Great. our resident right winger believes that if you dont act and behave like a resident right winger you shouldn't apply for high office.

Since when has someone have to be right wing to show respect/follow protocol - the fact is someone can dress as Sid Snot if they like - but in some jobs that is a disadvantage.

My view is whether trying to get rid of life time Lords and replace them with party donation apparachiks or other Labour 'changes' - if it is not broke old chap, do not fix it. lol

Labour have had far leftie politicians that wanted to look like Worzel Gummidge, how did that work out?

Only trying to help. lol

Somhow did PMQs go? I was at work and missed it.

Worth trying to catch the replay as apparently the new style of less confrontational PMQT, so best you understand the rules of engagement.

Mr Corbyn using each of his 6 questions on behalf of the public, who get a first name check, not quite 'and this request is from Trevor Trollybus from Oldham' - but close enough.

Actually it should suit Cameron better.
