toxo Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Been a labour man all my life and this is killing me. Corbyn is now firmly in the same company as Bashar Hafez al-Assad. Hanging on to whatever power he can despite the damage to his people and his country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxo Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just look back and see who voted him in to that position! I believe a lot of the £3 Labour party memberships were taken up by Tories who wanted to make sure he was elected. They knew it was easy street after that.

shoot and be safe Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I think he is a great bloke and will be very beneficial for the country as long as he stays Labour leader.... If he stays in long enough, Labour will be on the same sticky wicket as UKIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 He won't resign because he is under the correct assumption that the grass roots labour members keep wanting him as their leader. So realistically why should he...... In his own mind he is probably the best labour leader there has ever been...... Labours demise is down to the fact they chose the wrong brother the last time...... I think it's great he is labour leader as it means we don't have to put up with another labour Govt for the foreseeable future, Long may he reign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrclark Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Just look back and see who voted him in to that position! This. Corbyn has a democratic mandate from the members of the organisation he represents. The parliamentary party are dead set against as they know he has no chance what so ever of achieving power, but the whole point of a democracy is that the leader of the party is the one who is chosen by the most members and JC is that man. The parliamentarians and centre to centre left who don't represent the wishes of the majority should leave the party behind and stand behind the courage of their convictions. The big problem is they don't want to walk away from brand "Labour". That to me speaks volumes as the power of the brand name takes preference to policy and that cannot be right. They would rather hitch their banner to the party name to win their seat despite the absolute dichotomy between their own beliefs and the belief of the grassroots members.

clakk Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Nail and Head as usual m8,you are the voice of reason as always .But i think the big issue is as u stated rank n file like him but Joe Public dont or his crazy gang of misfits ,marxists and champagne socialists and so the sitting M.P,S fear the gravy train is going to crash big style and the trough will be knocked over . They know mr daft and his crazy dont add up spending plans mean theyre out on their collective ears very soon and the thought of getting a job scares the bejabbers out of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denboy Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Labour used to be for the working man, until Blair came into power and ruined the country with his mass immigration policy! And then he lied to the public about WMD! And who suffers? The working man! All the unskilled jobs have been taken, wages are kept to low because most foreigners have two full time jobs, we have foreign criminals on our streets and the English school leavers can't get a job! Do people still vote labour? Maybe the middle class do because all of the above doesn't effect them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) Thanks to Bliar, Brown et al there is no political difference between Labour and Conservative! In this day and age it appears people prefer to vote, good or bad, for a genuine (warts and all) traditional party(Conservative).......rather than a poor copy(Labour)........Corbin is trying to resurrect the Old Leftwing Labour.......but it would also appear, that time has long passed!

Not quite all the unskilled jobs , there's about six hundred around Westminster they havent got and had they come under threat the cheap foreign labour problem would have been sorted years ago .

Smokersmith Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Are there any labour politicians left who we'd trust to run the country .... ? The only one I'd even consider would be Ed's brother David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 There are some, but they seem to be keeping a low profile - understandably. Labour needs rid of Corbyn, but he does seem to have support from the delusional sector in his party, who think he is electable. Any potential leader would be shouted down by the delusional zealots, who seem to have taken over the party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreco Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Politics aside the only person who is in the job for the people they represent rather than for their own gain is I believe Corbyn. Politicians are not interested in the wish of the people anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedsanity Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Corbyn represents old labour whilst new labour are just tories with different coloured ties on. if you or anyone you know are severley disabled, sick or poor you would understand why people like corbyn but on a site like this where we can all afford shotguns and to go shooting and I'm guessing has a high percentage of pensioners it's not surprising it's very anti-corbyn. I'm.sure the next election will show what the majority want and I have little doubt it will be tories, no surprises that the majority of voters are pensioners and that the conservatives tend to be very nice to them though.
