So let me get this straight: Ken Livingstone has been appointed as joint chair of Labour's defence
review based on no expertise beyond the fact that he opposes Trident, causing yet more policy confusion and open infighting. The current chair of the defence review and shadow defence secretary was not consulted about this.
Shadow defence minister Kevan Jones then complained publicly about this, at which point Ken Livingstone decided it would be funny to counter with a slur about the man's publicly-acknowledged clinical depression.
Livingstone then refuses to apologise for this in interviews, only doing so later via twitter. He then follows this up by saying he only did so because he was told to by Corbyn and then basically distances himself from his own 'apology', bizarrely calling Kevan Jones 'Jeremy' several times in the process.
And still nobody knows what Labour's policy on Trident actually is.
:hehe: :clap: I am honestly struggling to find words to describe Labour at the moment, but 'omnishambles' and 'clusterf**k' are certainly right up there.
-
apparently, corbyn is only unpopular in the 'westminster bubble'. rest of the county loves him
still not asked my question to the pm whether boris was at the other end of the pig and did they high five when changing ends.
-
I can say with some certainty, having dealt with a suckling pig, that you'd get little joy from its
back end, since the sphincters have all been removed, meaning a lack of traction. Also, if it had been cooked, it would be rather dry.
How the devil are you, old chum? Still in Essex?
-
It's a rather amateurish affair - The appointment of Corbyn has surpassed my estimations on how
destructive it would be for the party. Surely they have to get rid of him now?
Labour are not going to be electable for decades :cloud9:

You forgot the genuinely hilariou John Mann interview with Andrew Neill
Andrew Neil: “Given Labour’s response to the issue of national security and Syria, do you have confidence in Jeremy Corbyn?â€
John Mann: “I have total confidence in Hilary Benn.â€
Andrew Neil: “So you have confidence in your foreign affairs
spokesman Hilary Benn, but not in your leader Jeremy Corbyn?â€
John Mann: “Jeremy has confidence in Hilary as well.â€
Andrew Neil: “But you can’t bring yourself to say you have confidence in Jeremy Corbyn.â€
John Mann: “I have huge confidence in Jeremy allowing Hilary to lead on Syria.â€
:clap:
-
I seem to recall a set of pretty sharp little teeth, as well.
In the front, naturally. I'm not claiming vagina dentata for the suckling pig.
-
-
I'm not sure the one we were dealing with wasn't a chap pig, though.
-
this is very good information. any other animals you've 'dealt with'? asking for a friend
i'm all good, IT network down at work so taken day off and killing time before doing a spot of shopping and perchance visiting the pub. wd the pub.
still in chelmsford. it's not bad, crawling with spurs and ukip though. hows things?
-
It's interesting how Cameron is giving him a relatively easy ride. He's like a boxer propping his
man up. The strategy is clearly to keep Corbyn in office for as long as possible, while every day he strips Labour of thousands more voters :clap:
-
Oh, I'd missed that. Thank you. Surely they can't carry on much longer like this, can they?
I mean I've got my fingers crossed and everything, but it seems too much to hope that he'll last much longer.
-
And how are those Urchins doing?
-
-
'Who's Andrew Neil?
-
Not bad. I'm in Hertfordshire these days, which has similar issues with Spurs fans.
Place called Ware. Distressingly close to Harlow, but the right side of the border.
-
I think I saw they were playing Cheshunt last weekend as I drove past Cheshunt's ground.
-
i've been to ware
you could buy inflatable sheep from a vending machine in the toilet. i managed to throw it into the goal. top 5 proudest moment of my life.
-
relegated last season, doing well this season
will be relegated if we go up.
it's not as much fun as it used to be. banter level very poor.
-
His response to the Paris killings was extraordinary. All he had to do was look solemn, mutter stern
but ambiguous platitudes and not say anything that sounded like equivocation, but he just couldn't manage it, could he?
It's like he's got lefty Tourette's or something.
-
I once bought Sir C one of those from a pub toilet in Portsmouth. It lived on his shelf for several
years. I think it may have perished by now.
-
I'm convinced he's a sockpuppet controlled by jorge.
The same relentless self-loathing. The same air of glib detachment. The same sanctimony.
-
Damned sorry to hear that. I still remember that 'keeper we slaughtered at Purfleet.
I expect he still remembers us, tbh.
-
I liked the response from the Swedish Deputy Prime Minister.
| Quote: |
| The very serious events in Paris right now could hamper the climate summit in December when more than 100 heads of government are scheduled to participate |
That was about 1 hour after the attacks :hehe:
She's from the Green Party, obviously.
-
I wore it out eventually.
-
Well if it spared your glw your appalling lusts for a few years, it was money well spent.
-
True enough.
-
The real world really is just something that happens to other people for these types, isn't it?
-
I think if Jorge's soul became corporeal, it would look like Jeremy Corbyn.
-
The thing is, if reasonable people like Jorge and Ashberto can be convinced by him, is it entirely
unrealistic that he could summon enough support to make him a electable?
-
A very scary thought. There is simply no way in hell that I would remain in this country if he came
to power. It'd be an utter humiliation for the British people.
-
No. Despite their apparent reasonableness, people like Ash and Jorge are dyed-in-the-wool north
London leftists at heart and will thus fall for anything a bit P.I.N.K.
Thankfully, the rest of the country is not like this.
-
That is a very innacurate application of a lazy stereotype.
My considered and balanced views only appear left-wing to those to the right of the proverbial Ghengis Khan.
-
Oh, you're much more moderate than someone like Jorge, who I think would have been happiest as a
political commissar under Stalin. On many issues, I find myself in agreement with you. However, you seem to have a blind spot when it comes to Mr Corbyn.
-
I'm not 'convinced' by anyone. I may defend Mr Corbyn on here from the mob on specific points partly
because I find the gleeful, braying dogpiles unseemly, and in some cases because he genuinely has a point worth making. Liberty is not something to be disposed of lightly, and sometimes we need to be reminded of this even when the prevailing wind is howling for a police state.
-
Liberty is neither here nor there in this instance. Corbyn's entire stance on the question of
Islamist terror is utterly undermined by his openly Islamist sympathies. That is the real issue here, not whether liberty should be sacrificed for security.
-
And suddenly Corbyn's popularity goes through the roof
-
Yep, surprised they dropped Bell but probably the right thing to do. Think they'll give Hales a go
up top first and then move to Compton if that doesn't work?
Compton and Cook are hardly the most exciting opening pair to grace the test match arena.
-
Presumably Cook, Hales, Compton all play
Get the basher between the two solid batsmen mightn't be a bad move. Balance can only be going as cover surely
-
Well Ballance could play. His back foot technique will probably be well suited to what will be
-
Fair point - may come down to the warm up games
Bit pissed off Jordan has sneaked in there above Plunkett. Would love to see Footit get a chance though
