You are clearly reading the wrong bits of the financial press then. Many were really pissed off that the rest of Europe persuaded the Germans to cave in on giving more money. Did all those anguished debates in the German parliament go over your head then? Seriously, do a bit more reading of...

What concessions did he win? Do you have time while I count to 86 billion? :) Seriously, if you rely on the British press to get your facts about Tsipras you are going to be left a little embarrassed. I'll refer you and Jakarta to the elections results last night - there is nothing more I have...

Amazing isn't it, these lefties who actually want to have sex with a WOMAN rather than a species somewhat lower down the mammalian chain :lolol:

Yeh you could have done this Sun reader stuff a few posts back and saved us both time.

You can cut and paste what you like back at me - you can't refute the facts. He got more money from Europe which no one from the IMF from the bloke on the Syntagma omnibus expects to get paid back. That's why there was a revolt in the German parliament about paying it to the Greeks. Now could...

Not really - Tsipras got another huge barrel-load of money, 86 billion euros to be precise, a fair bit of it from the German taxpayer. Some shafting. They won't be able to pay it back of course, but everyone knows this and debt haircuts remain on the table. You can spin it how you want but...

Tsipras showed good judgement in fighting hard for concessions for the Greek people while not plunging his country into the uncertainty of life outside the EU - he just needs more help from other politicians in Europe - and this is where Corbyn comes in

Probably the two most prominent socialist politicians in Europe right now are Alexis Tsipras and Jeremy Corbyn - both have already proved they are, by nature, consensus politicians basing their politics on the common sense of much of their electorate, rather than the caricature the press paints...

I think Dan Davies had a nice line about Nick Cohen - it's like being a Man United fan who's just heard that Veron is leaving

Again - what you know about Jeremy Corbyn's beliefs and politics I'd put on a par with Hyypia's knowledge of lower league English football. I'll say again - UKIP nutters like you would still be fighting wars in every place you can find, because those are your numbskull politics. Corbyn was way...

I'll try that again Commie ******* Jeremy Corbyn is freedom-hating pinko KGB terrorist, confirm opponents Communist firebrand, Jeremy Corbyn, would force your children into Soviet-style collective farming if elected, according to his opponents for the Labour leadership. The poorly-dressed...

Sure - I guess you can just see how this looks. You've suddenly become a big science guy as soon as Corbyn says something. Seems legit.

Out of interest did you say anything about this matter on NSC you clearly feel so strongly about when our future king and head of state backed it?

People make the false assumption that the normal left-right divide always holds true. That's not the case - every now and then in politics there is a kind of rupture where old certainties get thrown to the wind - the election of Corbyn could create one of those whirlwinds. Read this blog here...

I think your memory is faulty. Foot was a great leftwinger in his day but that day was long passed when he became leader, when he tailended Thatcher in that pointless war in the South Atlantic rather than do a Hugh Gaitskell who honourably opposed a similar mad venture in Suez. Foot was a...

Oh do shut up - if your politics had any influence, many Irish people (and some British) would still be being slaughtered even now

Stupid parallel. You either believe in democracy or you don't. you seem to half believe in it. Of course Corbyn should have been on the ballot given the scale of support he has, it is miserable elitism to suggest otherwise. Let us choose our leaders, everyone should have an equal say. if you...

This was never properly tested because Benn never made leader of the Labour Party. Foot was a spineless has-been who nobody, left or right of thr party, wanted but they put him up to stop Benn.

And all of that "going forward"
