Shades75 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 4 minutes ago, NotThePars said: That's a wild reading of Corbyn's politics. More concerned with preserving the union than defeating the Tories? If Scotland went independent, that would instantly release 5.5million people from Tory rule. Surely a socialist, a real one, wants any body of people that have the means, and there would be the means, to not live under conservatism. Especially when that body of people did not, and never does, vote for it. No where near for many decades in fact. Corbyn could support it. He doesn't though, he supports the union first and those 5.5 million will have to wait their turn. I believe that that makes him a little fraudulent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 So you let powerhouses like Kezia control the North, this isnae game of thrones ffs. A leader makes decisions not basically get slapped about of a two bob student. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagyar 2nd String Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Dirty Dingus seems to be overlooking that Corbyn has limited powers as Labour leader and certainly practically no power over Scottish Labour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 And with his supposedly massive mandate of party members he should now say back me or sack me, he's tied himself in knots on Brexit and Trident. He knows both are loser policies to engage idiots and little Englanders...f**k him he's selling out his life long beliefs for a bit of spotlight. Remain was the party policy but it didn't stop the duplicitous c**t campaigning halfheartedly for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 People are expecting way, way too much from him. He's clearly opposed to nuclear weapons but he's also the leader of a democratic political party. He has to pick and choose the battles very carefully. Gung Ho on every issue would be suicidal. I think he's trying to tread a very difficult line with brexit - in a similar way to sturgeon with indyref2. Those who voted for brexit are a powerful voice in British politics (and not one necessarily well represented in the media). If he shows any real sign of backing out then again he'll be fucked in a lot of midland and northern seats. He's trying to wait it out and see the shit hit the fan for the Tory right. Not an easy balance. These are the people he really should be standing up to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The Remain campaign was abject shite from literally everyone involved. I don't think Corbyn did well at all but I don't think anyone did well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
