Apparently folk are trying to claim that that phrase is somehow not racist. Tbh, I prefer my racist Tories out in the open where I can see them, rather than the 'nod and wink', veiled language types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 She's had the whip suspended. Hopefully she now does the honourable thing and resigns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did she mean the equivalent of 'Elephant In The Room'? If so, maybe she should have used the phrase 'Elephant in The Room', like every other sane person on the planet that isn't a daft racist. "A fly in the ointment" would probably have been closer to the intended meaning..... and would've kept her the whip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 "I apologise for any offence caused" is "I apologise if you were upset by what I said" not "what I said was wrong and I'm sorry for saying it". Pisspoor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmothecat2 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Problematic. Corbyn doesn't help himself with some of the company he keeps. I just can't decide if it's naivety and he doesn't check these things out, or he chooses not to. This is the problem with the alternative left is a lot (if not most) are perfectly reasonable people with left-wing politics, however there is a lunatic fringe whose anti-western beliefs take them into conspiracy theory territory. They disagree with the West on one thing therefore they must disagree with the West on all things, so the examples of interventions which were justified must therefore be false and made up by western media. This sort of wholesale politics is what turns justified criticisms of Netenyahu and Israel's government into antisemitism and opposition to Israel itself rather than the acts of the Israeli government. By aligning himself with the alt-left Corbyn will end up being with people with undesirable, offensive, dangerous and antisemitic views, despite not (probably) holding anything like them himself.He does need to be careful though as this is happening all too often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Having a lovely dinner" Takeaway pizza and a couple of portions of chips from a shitty takeaway by the looks of it That looks more like the guy just grabbed Corbyn for a quick photo op rather than any sort of pre-arranged "dinner" tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Tbh, a Corbyn dinner party sounds like it would be pretty awesome. Where else could you plot the downfall of capitalism at the same time as meeting some of modern history's most dodgy characters ? Dear diary Dinner at Jez's again last night. McDonnell droning on about purging the Blairite scum, GIVE IT A REST MAN and concentrate on nationalising everything first. Gerry was there, he's not been the same since Marty died. Tried to cheer him up and told him to go back to the berets and balaclavas, he always seemed much happier back then. The Hamas lads were on form, but some of those jokes about the rabbi were a bit close to the bone for me. The usual chat about the US and UK's false flag attacks ended in a shouting match. Drank WAY too much last night and ended up fingering Diane Abbott in the downstairs bathroom. The next Momentum meeting is going to be SO awkward. I also met Bashir Assad for the first time, he was surprisingly down to earth and VERY funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Corbyn is a fucking fraud. Unreal how folk are falling for this shit. Even if he wasn't (he is), he's leader of the fucking Labour party, an absolute nest of snakey backstabbing scum. And folk are falling for it all over again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Six months ago Corbyn was an ideologue whose politics had no relevance in modern society. Now he's nearly won an election he's a fraud who doesn't believe what he says. There's problems with Corbyn, particularly the company he appears to endorse, and there's thousands more problems with the party at large but Corbyn's political beliefs aren't one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 In what way is he a fraud? I'm not exactly a fan but one thing I can't deny is that he's genuine and consistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
