Jeremy Corbyn Elected

Yes, but many people still wouldn't get it

Anya, we need an 'irony' emoticon!

Business not important, either, Anniebach
I didn't say it wasn't, djen
Just not a 'top job' apparently.

Anyway, I thought 'business' was a dirty word with some on the extreme left
You know, dreadful capitalism and all that

Corbyn is Anya, you are posting on a thread titled - Corbyn elected

Roseq, how important do you think health and education are?

Very important indeed, but apparently, in political circles, not the 'top jobs'

Not my definition:
n the UK, tradition holds that the top three Ministers after the Prime Minister are the Chancellor, Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary. In that order these 4 positions are referred to as the Great Offices of State, the most prestigious positions in government

Just watching the news.

Remind me, who is the leader of the Labour Party - Jeremy Corbyn or Len McClusky?

I am not getting into anything either.

I have not been talking about Jesus Christ at all.

Corbyn has never said he wants to take Britain out of Europe.

All I said was that JC was the first true socialist, and it was Ab and me that you asked.

If you think that Jesus Christ was wrong being a true socialist, then I doubt your religious fervour.

Who said that they think the John behaviour was wrong?
Can't see that anywhere.

This is excellent news.

Who are you talking to, soon, in your last comment?

Good. You at least think he can do some wrong[Jeremy Corbyn]. It would actually be nice if you said so once in a while.
Gracesgran and whitewave manage to do that.
{I am not going to go into specifics in case you might want to turn it into one of those games].
And you think that the John behaviour was wrong. Good again.
A more balanced view of what you think would actually make your views appear not so rigid I think.

I watched him with Andrew Marr this morning. He did very well and didn't let Andrew Marr push him into a corner. Its hard for me not to like him-he reminds me of my brother who died 12 years ago, who was a staunch socialist and must have been about the same age as Corbyn is now.

I was also a socialist when young and I suppose I still am but I hope he doesn't take Britain out of Europe, and out of NATO as I am not so sure he knows what we would have instead

JC was the first true socialist, over two thousand years ago.

JC that is.

Cant be bothered to answer that Ab.

dj, at no point did he say that his behaviour was wrong as far as I can remember.
Do you think it was?

Can I ask both of you while you are here.

Do you think he can do no wrong? Because that is how it comes across to me

soon, do you never think talk instead of killing is worth trying?

What was wrong with what he said about John McDonnell?

I thought it was an excellent interview. He answered the questions very thoroughly and carefully. He did not obfuscate, like many politicians try to do.
Many new Labour supporters are not young. Many of them are Gransnetters or their children. I think my two sons and their partners are quite mature enough to know what they want, and are Labour supporters.

I agree with him about having a party which is inclusive, and does not walk by on the other side.

I got lost about the Syria stuff. I dont know enough. I think they are going to say more tomorrow.
Glad he said he was not in support of Putin.

Nato have had a long term agenda of pushing eastwards? That is what he said. Again, I dont know enough.

Didnt like what he said about John McDonald. Seemed in some way to support him. Didnt come down hard on him at all. More concerned about his sentence!
Which is weird thinking about it, as he goes for peace.

He seems to be staying out of Queen issues now!

He does answer questions straight on the whole.

I havent watched the whole of the interview . I intend to at some point, word for word!

I did notice at some point about something or other, that he wants to bring people around to his point of view.
He didnt say others points of view!

Welcomed what he said about business having lawyers and accountants to move money about to avoid taxes.

Didnt agree with him still thinking it was ok to bring IRA into Houses of Parliament when he did.

So so glad he doesnt want to talk to IS at this stage.

He even tried to answer the unanswerable in the best way he could f77ms. It is really silly to ask him the outcome of discussions before they take place; it just makes the journalists look rather old-fashioned and out of step.

I wonder what those who would be prepared to pay up to have their say in the Conservative Party would say they want if given the chance?

You have hit the nail on the head there saying we are too selfish to be socialist !!

I ,for one, am delighted about Corbyn being elected . He is a principled , honest politician the likes of which we have not seen for a long time . He actually answers questions which are put to him with no spin which is so refreshing.

The right wing media have tried their best to discredit him but most people I speak to are seeing through it lately.

What he seems to stand for is a fairer society , how can that be wrong or misinformed ?

The young conservatives have no problem with Cameron
