Pleased to see BM is still doing tangents to death and beyond.

Vote Labour - it's the choice for change.

Tangent = "a completely different line of thought or action..."

So are we all to assume that when the prospective UK's Home Secretary when commenting on N.I. has stated:

"...that Ireland “is our struggle — every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us......" and

"Though I was born here in London, I couldn’t identify as British."

That we should just consider this as OK and place her at the head of the Home Office and all its departments - because it is: "a completely different line of thought or action..." to the election

Do I have that right???????

I really like jezza, but Abbott is a total liability. Torys dangerous for the country. Jezza needed to tell Abbott to go home and lock all the doors last week

The whole Abbot fiasco confuses me. If there's someone on here who is au fait with the workings of a party's relationship with the media, you might help me out. I presume that when a broadcaster/newspaper wants an interview with x or y they ask that party's ruling body. Therefore, Labour's hierarchy has presumably given Abbot permission to do these interviews (she would hardly go against the wishes if her party, would she?). Do they not realise that she is an electoral liability?

Have you spectacularly missed the point? Or have I? You asked about comparing Corbyn with Mandela. I assume you admire Mandela but he was leader of a terrorist organisation (at least that's what Thatcher said in resisting sanctions against apartheid). Short selective memory or just more anti-Corbyn hypocrisy? Tory students wore "hang Mandela" t-shirts

I think that its you

P.s. I was trying to be flippant in that post

 

[The perfect fumble]

Yer, the heavily one sided left wing views, constant links to left wing twitter and guardian articles....

Gets upset easy, prone to storming off stage.....

You forgot scourge of White Van Man.

Im convinced she wouldn't stay in office after the election but it's too late to get rid now and it would be massive news. It's the only negative of this whole Labour campaign, everything else from Labour especially Corbyn himself has been superb, no one gave them a
hope a couple of months ago.

Seriously, I question the term superb.

He's been OK in debates, and better than May certainly. But nothing spectacular, and not a patch on Blair in his prime, or Thatcher or even dare I say it Nick Clegg in the 2010 election, who was excellent.

But he's blatantly changed his 40 year tune on a number of topics, and he's blatantly trying to bribe what he thinks is an unsuspecting electorate with promises of days of wine and roses for all. It's all pretty shallow unless you're a left-wing supporter smelling a faint whiff of possible victory.

You have a very apt first name for a member of the cult Mr Jones

Scots, please vote SNP and get the independence you deserve.

And if you want to put up a wall, or tow the country northwards towards Iceland, fine by me.

I question the judgement of anyone who thinks Diane Abbott is fit to be Home Secretary. I like Corbyn, but this bit I just can't get past. Maybe it's just that she has pictures of him going down on her?
