Let's Get Political!

yeah, but he speaks Latin so he must be clever deep down

You're right, it is very few individuals but that doesn't make it any less real. And the few individuals who do blur the lines between legitimate criticism of Israel and out-and-out anti-Semitism tend to come from the hard-left factions within (and sometimes outside) the party that are seen by Corbyn and his crew as supporting him. Plus he has a non-too clever track record of lining up alongside some very dodgy characters in the name of the Palestinian cause. All of which makes him and his crew very slow to act against the real anti-Semites. He's the author of his own misfortune in this regard - swift and decisive action early on would have seen this off. But 3 years later it's still dragging on, and it's his own fault.

Can't argue with any of that.

Christ there's no hope for this country if it is populated by what looks like a majority of those posting on here.
Corbyn et al have made no attempt to deny their desire to become the first Marxist government of the UK.
Fake news, smear tactics and selective quotes taken out of context are only acceptable if directed against "right wingers"
If the press reports instances when Corbyn and his mates meet with very dodgy individuals/groups combined with irrefutable evidence surely this is in the public interest?
God Reg you are a pompous ass we all know that all mainstream socialist parties in Europe ensured that their senior shadow cabinet member throws mao's little red book at their prime minister. Stop virtue signalling and at least accept you support Marxist ideology.
I have previously "shared" on this forum that my family and I were blue collar working class and that my way into a more fulfilling life was via grammar school education. The labour backed policy to effectively end this opportunity was one of their biggest betrayals of the working class in my opinion

There appears to be only one pompous ass on this thread. Look at you with your political snobbery insisting on how people should think. You are literally why young people are voting and behaving the way they do these days.

Anyone who unironically uses the phrase 'virtue signalling' is a bit of prat imo.

Similar to those who use 'do-gooder' as a fucking insult.

On a positive note, at least Grayling has finally gone. On a less positive note the only member of May's cabinet more inept than him is now Prime Minister. Apparently told Tory MPs yesterday that he is going to solve the Iranian crisis by building more ships for the Navy. WTAF?

They are a fine body of sheer fuckwittedness. Just looking at the top posts...

We have a clueless PM, A Home Secretary who has made a career spouting nonsense about how good the death penalty is, is strongly anti-LGBT rights and was sacked for setting up secret channels to negotiate with a foreign country behind the Prime Minster back.

and a Foreign Sec who until a few weeks back apparently didn't know the significance of Dover to Calais and is probably going to need a teacher, a map and some crayons to get up to speed.

Going lower we have one who was sacked for leaking confidential stuff from government ,meetings to the media, we have an environment secretary who has a very dubious record on environmental matters continuously voting against measures to curb climate change.

And Nicky Morgan who made much of the fact that she would resign if Johnson got in!

Nah, its one of the most prominent terms in the glossary of the far right play book, along with snowflake, libtard etc etc.

It is a sign of the times that apparently giving a shit about your fellow man the environment your successors are going to inherit is apparently some kind of weakness now. Its happened to one of my friends already, I am still intrigued at what stage I am going to wake up and give not one shit about anyone but myself?

Back on topic, the best thing about the new cabinet/PM combo is they are packed full of Brexiteers. Let's see what they can come up with now. No excuses, no blaming the remoaners. Brexiteers in charge of Brexit. Should be fun.

Yes.... with local added interest, that Buckland who supported remain, now backs no deal, knowing that it will hit his constituents hard, but hey he's got a promotion.

[Arriba]

What a vile rabble the cabinet are. Previously sacked and habitual liars. Self proclaimed failures who quit before are now back in the cabinet. You couldn't make this shit up. As for brown nosed Buckland. He'll get the boot at the next GE as Sarah Church is a much better option and the town has gone to shit in recent years on under Tory rule. Can't see the locals being so stupid to re-elect such a useless self serving buffoon again

In fairness Swindon had a leave majority. So "we" deserve it.

The Tories increased their majority in the council election. The town going to shit doesn't seem to be an issue for many.

Don't forget also that Jeremy Hunt had support of 77 MPs & c.42k Tory members, yet of his supporters, following the Night of the Long Knives, only Rudd remains & Hunt gone too. That's a hell of a lot of the party already pissed off!

Popcorn at the ready!

We've had Brexiteers in charge of Brexit for the past 3 years, and they've singly failed to make it work, the difference now is we have the most extreme "No Deal" Brexiteers in charge throughout. But I know what you mean, inclined to agree, this is what they wanted - let them fucking own it.
