kinda delighted and despondent that that Corbyn speech has more meat on its bones than every public statement made by the last 20+ years of Labour leaders

Yeah that was beautiful. No doubt there are thousands of pricks rn who are saying 'why oh why wasn't this wall to wall Brexit, huh, Jeremy?'

Corbz and O'Donnell are something else, listening to the slimeball Tory barrister Gauke doing his lawyer routine on Universal Credit on AQ, just reminds me of how much hope they have brought to UK politics.

I never realised before reading that Betting The House book that Corbyn's first divorce was caused by his strict ideological lack of ability to compromise on a local comprehensive/posh school argument.

it was my psychologically deep-seated obsession with Daniel O'Donnell at work there.

Gauke is literally the most boring man in Britain, I think that's why the Tories have started using him more, you can't listen to him for more than 30 seconds without your eyes glazing over.

Imagine having to shill for UC on a weekly basis, and keep talking up it's social benefits and progressive qualities. His beady little eyes are so indiscernible, you can't even tell l/r are both looking in different while he talks.

Nick Cohen's piss is busted again.

" They do not shudder when they see Corbyn surrounding himself with aides from the Communist party of Britain and the fragments of the Socialist Workers party because they know little or nothing of communism."

He is obviously completely senile and needs help.

calzino, Saturday, 9 December 2017 21:21 (six years ago) link

come on, Cohen did 20 years in a gulag, he knows of which he speaks

sorry i meant 20 years at the Observer

Never forget the forced collectivism, mass famines and genocide committed by the Communist party of Britain.

calzino, Saturday, 9 December 2017 21:33 (six years ago) link

i think Cohen would argue that British Communists cheered for those things and so are complicit in them, in the same way that people who cheered for the 2003 invasion of Iraq are complicit in the deaths of 10s of thousands of civilians and the empowerment of ISIS

Cohen is quoting Mark Fisher in that Observer piece, only fair to quote Fisher on Cohen in response.

British deep state has tried several times to assassinate John McDonnell, but every time they give the wrong name to the wet-ops specialist used. There are a string of John Macdonalds, John O'Connells, John McConnells etc who have died in inexplicable suicides, tragic vehicular fault caused traffic accidents, and unsolved robbery-murders.

Apparently Jeremy was a bit jel when he found they'd named a bridge after his deputy leader in Dublin.

Never underestimate the extent to which gullible young Remainers can be persuaded that the right and proper thing to do as a voter with a social conscience in 2k17 is to support the How To Stop Brexit (And Make Britain Great Again) platform. currently spending a lot of my time engaging with such earnest and well-intentioned young ppl

Windsor Davies, Monday, 11 December 2017 21:55 (six years ago) link

Remarks by David Davis that Phase one deal last week not binding were unhelpful & undermines trust. EP text will now reflect this & insist agreement translated into legal text ASAP #Brexit

a) May just didn't think to ensure everyone was giving out a consistent message
b) She did and Davis just ignored her, either deliberately or through incompetence
c) Davis's statement *was* the agreed message and she just didn't anticipate the EU's reaction here

Whichever one it is it reflects terribly on all concerned.
