Fullerene Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Actually I have changed my mind. "Infiltrator" sounds like a pretty cool thing to have on my passport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 The one thing I'll give Corbyn is he was so divisive we probably have another 5-10 years minimum left where we can happily go over the same arguments and not get bored. He's a great topic for an easy rustle for people on both sides. The one serious opinion I will offer is that I don't think the media are to blame for his failures, it's a cop out and gets used far too much as being THE reason why he continually failed. It was part of a long list of reasons but isn't the silver bullet some try and frame it as. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 One thing that's strange to look back on is the focus on Corbyn's appearance and public speaking skills. At the time compared to Cameron he did seem rough and ready but look at what we have had since. By the end of her term May looked like she was constantly on tranquilisers, Gove and Boris are visible alcoholics and Hancock can't maintain the coherence of any sentence more than 15 words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Aye, nobody gets to claim that an unkempt appearance is a hurdle for politicians anymore. We're only a couple of years away from Prime Minister Rees-Mogg rocking up to the Commons in his Victorian sleepwear and eating his breakfast kippers from the lectern. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBear Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Have to say I like Sarwar, but the party Scotland and UK wide is a bit of an earthquake zone. Forgot their roots. Trying to be all things to all men in these divisive woke times doesn't work. Sarwar has a chance to build something in Scotland, but the UK wise it's civil war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's completely fucked. The hierarchy of racism coming back to haunt them in Batley and Spen and their doubling down on it, poor in Hartlepool and Amersham, tanking numbers nationally, filling these roles with presumably whoever Mandelson recommends. Can't lay a glove on Johnson. Turns out Guardian Columnists are not a good barometer for what people will vote for Edited June 24, 2021 by Genuine Hibs Fan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
