it's so stupid isn't it? he is committed to keeping trident, but apparently because he is for some reason reluctant to murder millions of people he is somehow a fool?
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
For starters, lets start with Emma Barnett. Corbyn messed up in the interview he had with her and she was harassed, called all sorts of names and had anti-Semitic remarks posted to her.
One Labour party member was suspended by the party because of one of the anti-Semitic tweets.

I by no means imply its a huge chunk of the Corbyn, but a vocal group who are tarnishing the rest.
fecking hell, Corbyn supporter also happens to be a dick. hardly a headline is it?
Luckily those lovely young tory supporters are all wholesome and pure.
Come on man, both sides have their share of dickheads.
This is old, childish, I'd never seen it before - and I fecking love it!!!
Wonder why people are saying the left is as full of shit as the right...
Any reason why you're attacking the left today? I'm curious.
The echo chamber is getting to you today isn't it
I'm begrudgingly voting Labour this election, but this thread has become a bit of leftwing wankfest.
I wouldn't want to offend you, as a poster I like, but being disenfranchised right is a shite place to be. Plus I've been spending a full day with the in-laws.
It's fecking deafening!The echo chamber is getting to you today isn't it
You are pretty balanced tbf. Few would deny improving school funding is a bad thing.
I've thought for a long time that core things like healthcare, education, policing and pensions need to be taken outside of the five year electoral cycle so they can have proper cross-party long-term planning, rather than regular chopping and changing. Will obviously never happen though.
I can see your point about it being a wankfest, people shout down the right a bit too much in here. I try and remain as objective as I can (which is hard). It's not exactly great being on the left either to be frank.
I'm just sat trying to watch Twin Peaks and its mind fecking me to oblivion.
It's the worst thing about this election.
I mean do any of the people attacking him for his supposed stance on nuclear weapons actually want us to use them? I don't think that they think when they spout such nonsense, because it's like they don't care about hundreds of thousands of people dying and all the ramifications afterwards.
There's absolutely no reason whatsoever why we should have them.
It's not a proper left wing wankfest - there isn't the vicious tearing apart of anyone not quite lefty enough going on.
That's a good idea.
Agreed, we'd be better off without trident.
Oh no, we're now in the same position as 187 countries..

I guess it would effectively neuter any government though. We can but dream.
Things are turning more your way. When I had a beer with @Grinner (come back man!), he said he was left (student), right (start earning), left (more comfortable, give something back). That's been my road and not necessarily one I expected.
Thought that was Paul Merson for a minute...
There's a pattern of journalists who ask tough questions of Corbyn and members of TV audiences who don't make favourable contributions being absolutely vilified on social media.
4-4-2 with Abbott and McDonnell up top Jeff.
I'm going to guess Laura Kuenssberg and Nick Robinson are the journalists, though it certainly isn't tough questioning that makes them targets. I'm definitely intrigued by your members of TV audiences point, who do you have in mind?
Nobody probed him on the cost of nationalisation though, weirdly.

Who needs the odd supporter being mean on social media when your parliamentary candidates will do it in real life?

No words. Here they are, all pretty much about the terror attacks.

I can't see how they thought that was a good idea.

Still no coverage of Corbyn's speech by the Beeb, it's only been 4 hours since he made it though. Seen May's speech twice just in the time I've been watching.
A whole 40 seconds of it here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-40153536

Fair play to JC for calling out May over the Saudis. Let's see if gets any traction.
No.
The Beeb haven't shown a solitary second of the entire speech on their news channel. A whole 40 seconds of it on their website and it doesn't the bit about the Saudis.
So why haven't they gone there already?
Because Jeremy Corbyn isn't Prime Minister.
Sky showed the speech live.
