The tweet is five years old, and doesn't even advocate homoeopathy. Desperate stuff.
I never quite get these sorts of comments -- who the feck wants to be led?Just doesn't strike me as a "leader"
None of the politicians in this country do though, tbf.
It's not about whether or not he can stand it, it's about whether or not it's a bad thing for the country that this sort of stuff is being peddled by our news outlets which have so much influence.If he can't stand the inevitable press intrusion into every part of his life he should have done what Ummuna did and stand aside for someone with a thicker skin.
I did think all the attention might subside a little but the more that's revealed about him and what we can expect from his politics the papers will continue to have a field day at his expense....because of course they are only in it to sell newspapers.
Since when has any of that matter to the media. They're in it to make money and it's naive in the extreme to think they are not going to use material as rich as Corbyn is providing.It's not about whether or not he can stand it, it's about whether or not it's a bad thing for the country that this sort of stuff is being peddled by our news outlets which have so much influence.
Like I said, we don't deserve politicians with integrity if this is how we go about things so I hope no one complains after the next expenses style scandal about all politicians being twats or whatnot.
Well as long as you're happy with it...Since when has any of that matter to the media. They're in it to make money and it's naive in the extreme to think they are not going to use material as rich as Corbyn is providing.
Don't we all?He cares.
Hence barely a mention of the Trade Union Bill and the fact a Tory MP compared aspects of it to something you'd expect to see under General Franco. Because what vest Jeremy Corbyn wears is far more important.They're not just in it to make money though - they're in it to influence people. And (traditionally) it could be argued that the influence is more important to major newspaper owners than the cash.
Well he's the leader of one of the main political parties, with aspirations of being the leader of our country.I never quite get these sorts of comments -- who the feck wants to be led?
You are being led, we all are.I never quite get these sorts of comments -- who the feck wants to be led?
Take a look at the content, forget the cover. People voting for personalities in politics really feck things up. You're voting for an entire party, not one person. I hope the UK doesn't slip into the realm of the US with any mediocre celebrity able to mount a serious campaign just because... well, "he seems alright, doesn't he?"Well he's the leader of one of the main political parties, with aspirations of being the leader of our country.
But he just gives me the vibe of a substitute teacher.
He doesn't inspire confidence, or motivation.
Elaborate.You are being led, we all are.
Not sure I'd say I am happy with it but I do understand how the media works.Well as long as you're happy with it...
True.Well he's the leader of one of the main political parties, with aspirations of being the leader of our country.
But he just gives me the vibe of a substitute teacher.

Eh, it's not about personalities.Take a look at the content, forget the cover. People voting for personalities in politics really feck things up. You're voting for an entire party, not one person. I hope the UK doesn't slip into the realm of the US with any mediocre celebrity able to mount a serious campaign just because... well, "he seems alright, doesn't he?"
We are being led by our government, by banks, by the media, by Schools, by religion so and and so forth.Elaborate.
He's not your typical establishment drone at the mercy of the murdoch media and the political elite. He's also in danger of derailing the gravy train, so expect the attacks against him to get nastier and more aggressive between now and 2020 (assuming he's not forced out by the red tories before then).What's so bad about this guy?
Such a non-complaint. He doesn't carry himself like a leader? That doesn't even mean anything.Corbyn? I don't have issue with most of his policies, but he just doesn't carry himself like a leader, there just doesn't seem to be much conviction with him similar story with Ed for me too.
Maybe in time and the longer he's in the public eye that will change.
So it's not about personalities it's about looks?Eh, it's not about personalities.
Angela Merkel seems to be as much fun as watching paint dry. But she comes across as a leader. She's strong, stern & you know she means business before she even says a word. Regardless of whether or not you agree with what she says.
Corbyn? I don't have issue with most of his policies, but he just doesn't carry himself like a leader, there just doesn't seem to be much conviction with him similar story with Ed for me too.
Maybe in time and the longer he's in the public eye that will change.
How exactly? I don't recall being led anywhere by any of those over the past week.We are being led by our government, by banks, by the media, by Schools, by religion so and and so forth.
That's what they want you to think.How exactly? I don't recall being led anywhere by any of those over the past week.
You have.How exactly? I don't recall being led anywhere by any of those over the past week.
Prove it. How exactly have I (me specifically) been led by those aforementioned agencies/institutions over the last week or so?You have.
You don't fully though do you, as SteveJ rightly pointed out.Not sure I'd say I am happy with it but I do understand how the media works.
http://www.parliament.uk/edm/2009-10/1164The tweet is five years old, and doesn't even advocate homoeopathy. Desperate stuff.
Looking through the content of those bills, all seems pretty harmless to me.
I'll tell you how I can prove it, go out and kill someone and see what happens or refuse to pay your mortgage/rent, take your kid out of School for no just reason, tell your boss to feck off and refuse to do any work, don't work and don't claim benefits. Go out and drive your car pissed up, high on drugs and ignore all street signs, feck it, while your at it run over a few pedestrians. Maybe you could refuse to pay council tax or income tax or for the NHS.Prove it. How exactly have I (me specifically) been led by those aforementioned agencies/institutions over the last week or so?
Clearly advocate homeopathy, though.Looking through the content of those bills, all seems pretty harmless to me.
Such a non-complaint. He doesn't carry himself like a leader? That doesn't even mean anything.
It's more about presence. Couldn't care what he looks likeSo it's not about personalities it's about looks?
You just list examples of various laws -- these weren't decided upon by any one person. It also doesn't constitute evidence of someone leading me.We are being led, what we do and how we survive in life is because a leader made a decision on how we should do it.
Shouldn't you care about policy? What the feck does presence get you?It's more about presence. Couldn't care what he looks like
If your not being led then these laws should apply to you. Further, I didn't say it was by one person. You are being led, like it or not, it's a bit odd that you think otherwise.You just list examples of various laws -- these weren't decided upon by any one person. It also doesn't constitute evidence of someone leading me.
Shouldn't you care about policy? What the feck does presence get you?
Of course I care about policy, to say I don't based off my opinion on Corbyn is silly.You just list examples of various laws -- these weren't decided upon by any one person. It also doesn't constitute evidence of someone leading me.
Shouldn't you care about policy? What the feck does presence get you?
I honestly don't know what you're trying to get at.If your not being led then these laws should apply to you.
How exactly would you define presence without having looks play a part?It's more about presence. Couldn't care what he looks like
Which attributes, and how so?Of course I care about policy, to say I don't based off my opinion on Corbyn is silly.
But equally, he is still the leader of the Labour Party. Aspiring to be Leader of the United Kingdom.
Attributes of a leader are important.
What?You don't fully though do you, as SteveJ rightly pointed out.
