Corbyn is not the type of person to stand down , he is too anti everything , maybe the people who voted him in have the same attitude, so he stays, the Only way he will leave parliament is when he stops breathing. 2 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel he is a very poor leader, performs badly at PMQs, has failed to create or allow a coherent, succinct message on Brexit to be developed by the Labour Party, does not engender confidence in the electorate and thus is an electoral liability to Labour. His policies I can largely agree with, being left of centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted October 31, 2019 #8658 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) All that's fair enough. It's usually "he'll impose Communism" or the always risibly vague "anti-Semitism in the Labour Party", though no one ever provides any examples to illustrate what they might mean.

spud the mackem Posted October 31, 2019 #8660 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The B.B.C. is a world wide news service that you can get anywhere in the world ,as I used to when I was a seaman, we used to look forward to the news of home as they broadcast honestly. Nowadays the B.B.C. is a Euro broadcasting service who side with the E.U. against Britain , maybe because they are getting lots of cash and /or subsidies from the E.U. they are certainly not broadcasting on a neutral basis regarding Brexit and they have in fact broadcast scare/fear programmes , in Politics being a service that wishes to remain part of the E.U. scene . I don't watch the B.B.C. news anymore ,not because of Brexit but because I've decided that they no longer give honest unbiased news , so I watch I.T.V news and switch off the sound when adverts appear , and I don't intend to pay the B.B.C license fees for something I don't use . 4 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not breaking the law if he's watching via catch up services ITV, ALL4, Chanel 5, etc.. which you dont need a licence for. the only catch up service you need a licence for is BBC's iplayer. so maybe he's watching ITV NEWS via their catch up service as long as its not live he's fine. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted November 2, 2019 #8666 Share Posted November 2, 2019 This is the BBC. Here is the news, presented by a man in a dinner jacket. Police have confirmed that the body found in a ditch besides the A337 yesterday was that of Prime Minister Borish "Bo" Johnson. "This is something unprecedented in my experience", said Police Inspector Dermot O'Hanrahan., taking his hat off in respect. "A politician who fulfilled his promise."

L.A.T.1961 Posted November 14, 2019 #8671 Share Posted November 14, 2019 More on the UK's EU commissioner saga - Brussels launches legal action against UK over failure to nominate commissioner. "Commission President-elect Ursula von der Leyen and her team hope to take office on December 1 — a month behind schedule — but the U.K. has so far refused, despite two written requests by von der Leyen, to put forward a nominee for commissioner. Britain’s Ambassador to the EU Tim Barrow wrote to the Commission on Wednesday night saying that Britain won't nominate a candidate before the general election on December 12, despite having agreed to do so as part of a deal that postponed the Brexit deadline to January 31. Neither side has made the contents of the letter public." "The Commission ... considers that the U.K. is in breach of its EU Treaty obligations," said the press statement, while rejecting the British argument that London cannot nominate a commissioner because of the period of election "purdah." https://www.politico.eu/article/brussels-launches-legal-action-against-uk-over-failure-to-nominate-commissioner/ Brussels is not happy. They were warned. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
