[News] Corbyn to become CND vice-president

JC Footy Genius · Oct 17, 2015

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is to become the vice-president of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).

It comes despite the party's policy to support renewing the Trident nuclear weapons system remaining unchanged at the recent Labour conference.

*Sigh* yes another Corbyn thread. (comedy gold that keeps on giving)

Another great decision by a highly principled man ? or yet another example of his inability to lead the official opposition ?

Strewth.

Somebody, please, vote this goon OUT.

Staggering. Labour in complete meltdown. Total shambles.

The Leader of the Opposition in a prominent official role opposing his own party's position. Crazy days

What could possibly go wrong...?

beorhthelm · Oct 17, 2015

if i were a Labour man i'd wonder how he thinks he would have the time to be that involved in CND alongside the day job. but its consistant with his believes, shows hes being different politician, listen of course, etc, etc.

The 'naked rambler' also sticks to his beliefs. In his case these beliefs are incompatible with normal daily life. Jezza seems to find taking a stance incompatible with normal daily leadership of a political party a principled way to live. It would be a bit like me, a scientist engaged in drug research, becoming VP of the homeopathy society

Next thing, he'll be appointing a vegan as Shadow Minister for Agriculture.

Oh.

True. To be a politician you can't be involved in decent humane causes. They don't go together at all. **** a pig? Burn £50 infront of the homeless? You're almost OVERqualified to be a politician, we should make you PM!

He will be gone soon enough. I don't know why so many people are getting so wound up by him. There's no way he will lead Labour into the next general election.

The man is being shown to be what he is - a nice guy who is not capable of leading a party

Nailed it.

Whilst he may be encouraging excitement among the small number of members of the Labour Party, him and his policies will never appeal to the 'middle ground' of the electorate. And without that, he's got about as much chance of winning a general election as I have of having a threesome with Mila Kunis and Amber Heard.

Out of an electorate of 45 million?

I think the Viagra is very safe where it is.

And just how much of his time do you think that would involve? As much time as you or I spend on NSC rather than our day job? Or say, as much time as the new tory MP for Brentford spends on his 3 directorships, 6 consultancies, tea, rubber, coconut plantations, distillery and property interests? It's par for the course for MP's of all shades to be involved with all sorts of additional interests.

I would imaging that people wouldn't spend any time wondering at all, unless they were rather naive.

But Corbyn isn't just an MP, he's the leader of the Labour party, and wants to become PM.

Probably only joined to counteract the votes from the Tory supporters who joined to vote Corbyn in.

And the way it's going, they may be voting again sooner rather than later.

Whilst I agree with Corbyns " honest" approach to politics and wholeheartedly applaud his willingness to stick to his ideological principles he cannot last as labour leader where most MPs are career politicians who know they will be looking for a new job every time there's a by election whilst he's at the helm.

The fact that he's there because Miliband left the £3.00 membership legacy must be particularly irksome to the rest of his MPs as they find themselves with the leader none of them wanted but who achieved a massive seal of approval from labours "core supporters" so they can't ditch him already as that would contradict the views of the activists
