David: Well, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is Neil will be taking over both branches, and some of you will lose your jobs, yeah, yeah. (Everyone gasps) Those of you who are kept on will have to relocate to Swindon, if you want to... yeah... stay. I know, I know, gutting, gutting...

This, completely. It'll be something that comes out of a clear blue sky. Like 9/11. Or 2008. Or Grexit. Or China. Or the current migration crisis that might conceivably kill off the EU before we even get a chance to vote ourselves out of it. Or another rubbish war in another unlikely place...

Don't beat yourself up about it, nobody's blaming you personally, though you do seem intent on labelling yourself as wicked and greedy. Weirdo :shrug:

Nope, there's nothing in my post that infers that at all :shrug:

Because the gap between rich and poor has widened to the point of being obscene, and the rich and greedy are expecting the poorest and most vulnerable to pick up the tab through austerity cuts for the greed and stupidity of the Masters Of The Universe directly responsible for the financial crash...

Fair play to Corbyn, he's already rattling all the right cages :lol: Sooner the rich and powerful start to realise that the UK isn't their own personal fiefdom to be used to obscenely feather their nests at the expense of the 99%, the better.

Yeah, you said that already. And you were wrong already. :wave:

Just feels so damn good to have some Old Labour values to believe in again finally, rather than be faced with a line-up of ToryLite Blue Peter presenters. Corbyn might well crash and burn. There's certainly a massive Tory press gathering out to get him earlydoors. Pretty large New Labour...

I just rejoined the party today, having renounced membership as soon as B.Liar become co-conspirator to the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq..

Personally I see her as a future leader of the Labour Party (or some Labour/Green rebranded combo party). Tremendous conviction politician and possible successor to Corbyn.

I think a lot of Greens voters will be, now the Greens are no longer the only voting choice for those with a social conscience. Caroline Lucas hasn't been slow in coming forward to welcome Corbyn's election as a progressive move for politics. Time for a formal Labour-Greens Alliance? Or should...

Under Corbyn, first class travel concessions will be first against the wall :guns: :moo:

Or maybe Labour might do better returning to its roots rather than bending over backwards to appeal to Middle England as Tory Lite. That patently worked for Tony B.Liar, especially as the voting public were heartily sick of Tory sleaze by 1997. But that was nearly 20 years ago. There's a whole...

UK government no longer has a mandate to govern in, er, Govan, anymore. Or any other part of Glasgow come to that. Nowt to do with religion.

World's moved on since Kinnock. And nobody of ANY political persuasion believed in Miliband's spiel. Very much doubt he believed in it himself. Corbyn's nailing his colours to the mast for all to see and to accept or reject. At least there's now a clear-cut choice of what you want to vote FOR...

For sure. At least there will be clear daylight between the two parties and a real choice for the electorate rather than last time when it was a choice (apart from in Brighton Pavilion) between voting Tory or Tory Lite. Corbyn's election may well go a long way towards reclaiming Labour's...

Nope, Scotland were traditionally staunch Labour. Time was when Scotland used to boast that the Tories were routed so badly that they had no mandate to govern North of the border. Now the same applies to Islington-focus-group-based Labour. Time to reconnect with the people.

Exactly this. North of the border the Scottish independence vote engaged with the people. This was then rolled out to the 2015 general election with the huge success of the SNP. Time to roll out the experiment South of the border and give disenfranchised socialist-leaning voters something...

Corbyn's the man to realign the Labour Party to the politics of Tony Benn. Might pay off, might not pay off, but at least it's nailing his colours to the socialist roots mast. Might even be enough to regain much of Scotland from the SNP. Certainly nothing much to be gained from another term of...
