bob the tank Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I suspect that this is shite.Largely because the uk goverment never showed any concern about the famine at all.Much more likely that records were "lost" so that people couldn't claim land inheritances and the land could be redistributed in the most profitable manner.

NotThePars Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 There was a literally a story this week about the British govt "losing" archives. It's a deliberate tactic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochas III Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Corbyn rules out any further Referendum on the EU. I thought Labour decided major policy, not the leader, isn't that one of the reasons they back Trident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Big opportunity for Corbyn to take a stance here but backs up what we already knew... he is a hardcore brexiteer. Obviously a shipyard worker in Hamburg has nothing in common with a shipyard worker in Glasgow.An utter spineless individual 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Mind when folk were wanking over Corbyn during the election, making out he was somehow competent? He's a useless shitebag c**t 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a useless shitebag c**t Was there really that many though? Corbyn is a hypocrit, he fits Labour well. Gives up many longstanding beliefs for power but I guess Brexit and screwing the people of the UK of a better future is one he is unwilling to waiver on Edited December 28, 2017 by Antiochas III 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Corbyn is competent though, and is a good campaigner, which is why he looked good during the election process. That doesn't mean he isn't a shitebag and a complete c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean he isn't a shitebag and a complete c**t. Competent at what exactly? Good campaigner I’ll give you but he’s a shit terrible political leader. He’s opposing the most inept Tory Government in my living memory and barely lays a glove on them. Absolutely useless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The reason he's shit is because he's a shitebag. You admit he's a good campaigner yet call him incompetent in the same paragraph. You can't have it both ways. He's useless because he's a shitebag. He's not some idiot. I think that's what makes it more frustrating for me. He's a guy who, if he actually put his mind to it, could oppose the Tories effectively. And while the uber-nats might be happy that he's not doing that, I'm not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonwell Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 There’s far more to politics than just campaigning. He is fucking shite at everything else.

Jeff Venom Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 It's Chris Iwelumo levels of open net for Labour just now. I have no idea what they're doing. They should be chucking the Tories around like an empty shellsuit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just has idiotic views, and when it comes to the biggest crisis this country has seen, he actually agrees with the Tories and has to try and balance his own views with being the opposition. It's not easy. This is why I say he's a c**t more than he's incompetent. He doesn't give the slightest f**k about the people. He cares about his own ego. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I understand his view point that if you want a socialist revolution in the UK you need the power to do things the EU don't allow, like subsidising certain industries. I just don't agree with him and would never vote Labour for that reason, ie. wrecking our relationship with Europe for in my mind smaller considerations. I'd be more impressed if he was upfront about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with Corbyn is and always has been that his views are selective and wildly inconsistent. When he cares about something, I generally agree with him, but when he doesn’t care (and he doesn’t seem to care about a huge number of big issues), he seems content to ignore or be totally led on them. Corbyn is not a leader. He’s a select-issue campaigner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRob72 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 When was the last time anyone sauntered through Passport Control at a European Airport on arrival from the UK without having to show their passport? What difference will it make it it’s Blue or Red? We will still queue up just the same. Family members flying into Spain from the U.S wait no longer (or less) than we currently do to come through arrivals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
