Jeremy Corbyn

Itching to get something going in Syria though.

Agree on the pig stuff - Hilarious for lolz, gifs and photoshop gags but that's about it.

There is a procedure should he choose it whereby he does not have to take the normal procedures for the Privy Council. What concerns me is that perfectly legitimate personal opinions such as republicanism and being against war are being presented as somehow un-British, un-democratic even.

So eager are people to criticise they don't take the time to consider the absurdity of their arguments.

Absolutely. The anti Corbyn media make it even more unreadable than ever too
 
I have obviously failed to put over the intended suggestion - that stories about Cameron's past and what he would do to maintain his popularity have a similar basis in fact to the popular innuendo about Corbyn.
 
Not really - Cameron's is 'he's posh and did stupid posh stuff at university'. Corbyns is 'whilst on record as an mp, he supported the ira whilst they were killing British people in Britain, and has said on th record he would never ever use nuclear weapons, meaning if he gets power, our deterrent is not a deterrent.

Pretty different in my view.
 
Surely if you have to use the bomb in retaliation it was anything but a deterrent?

Wasn't that all refuted/taken out of context? Wanting to find a diplomatic solution and actually talking with them is hardly supporting them? Or are you referring to the "giving them money" rumour which was, again, proven incorrect?

Mr Corbyn unable to attend the privy council due to other commitments. I am sure that is true, but as a self declared republican, maybe Mr Corbyn is not over keen on having to meet the Queen. Though as leader of her majesty's opposition, he does have responsibilities of state, and I hope his advisers get him to realise that. He can no longer act like a back bench rebel.

It took Cameron three months to bother.

Going to assume that you haven't visited this thread since, but how is it fine for Cameron to take three months to join the privy council but a case of Corbyn "acting like a back bench rebel" when he misses the first one due to prior commitments?
 
Corbyn has been elected leader of his party. His principles etc will be what he is judged on. Its great to have a choice instead of middle of the road wishy washiness from Labour. Whether it will get him elected will depend on how bad Cameron Osborne and May fuck up over the next 5 years. I have a hunch that the EU debate is going to kick off again big time and that will be an interesting watch. I do however detest all the traditional kow-towing necessary to take up office. I am pretty certain the queen does too. I think things will change dramatically with the monarchy this next 30 or so years and much of the associated bullshit will disappear completely .
 
I do not support the principle of a monarchy but my views have been tempered in recent years having witnessed first hand the benefits of all that pomp. There is widespread support out there for the monarch and all that pomp - even locally there is respect for the office of mayor and they are elected politicians.

My view, as long as all that nonsense doesn't get in he way, keep it. It may be archaic and undemocratic but it is our history. Give the Queen a house, put the rest on Job Seekers and Wilhem's yer uncle.
 
I kind of agree with that - I quite like the queen and the younger royals, and the fact they're moving away from all the pompous stuff. Personally I don't think it's necessary for him to kneel, kiss the queens hand and all that stuff - but on the other hand it won't kill him to do the minimum they require if it's the only way he can get the information to do his job properly.

Agree with all that - definitely think that outside of the Queen the benefit scroungers need to get a job, and get charged true rent value / bedroom tax

It won't kill him and he is going to do it.
 
Wasn't McDonnell's original comment something along the lines of "yeah we'll back it, but we'd do it completely differently" and now it's "we don't back the Troy version because we want to do it differently". Isn't it the same thing but now with added anti-Tory, or am I completely oversimplifying things?
 
Its basically doing a u-turn to correct a policy that was a mistake.

WOuld it be better if they stuck to a policy of agreeing with a stupid government idea?
