Very little mention (if any) of this in the British press, why is that?

 

[YoungWolf]

Because that would never fit with the view of him as a terrorist sympathiser

They feel an obligation to constantly feed an establishment narrative so best ignore anything positive about Corbyn.

Should we rename this thread Jeremy Victim?

No mate, but some balance would be nice. Because if in some weird world May had won an award like this, this news would be everywhere.

 

[Johnny75]

May had won an award like this, this news would be everywhere.

As none of us can prove that I don't think you can assert such a thing.

I guess JV needs a better PR person.

At least corbyn is aware of the implications of grenfell. A tory minister said in the immediate aftermath that everyone would be rehoused within 3 weeks. It has been 6 months. More than half are still in temporary accommodation. They'll spend christmas/new year in temporary accommodation. They'll go to the inquiry not knowing where their home is.

Still, a deal with the DUP is more important, what?

 

[YoungWolf]

You can criticise him all you like, you don't have to agree with his principles, or his economics, or whatever you want to throw at him but at least the guy gives a shit.

Because that particular award *never* gets mentioned?

Fair enough Vis, however as I've said i'm sure it would have got far more air time had it been won by Mrs May.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Does she make these mistakes on purpose?

 

[machin05]

It's pretty obvious what she means, no?

 

[Penk Wolf]

And that makes it okay to make so many fuck ups?

 

[machin05]

I think this particular example is a whole lot of nothing.

 

[The Saturday Boy]

And that makes it okay to make so many $#@! ups?

It’s a tweet. The disturbing thing is so many pick up on a reversal of words, when the meaning is obvious, rather than the issue.

 

[Tredman]

People are always desperate to pick up on anything from Abbott.

 

[machin05]

She makes shit ale, too.

 

[Tredman]

Less than £3 a pint though.

 

[machin05]

That's if she can get the figures right..... ROFL
