Somehow I have managed a link to the same thread.
Is that perpetual motion links?

No, I don't see Jeremy as a Beatle.
Bananarama anyone?

I don't think JC has the biting and sometimes caustic wit that John had.

Surely he is John- peace and love, anti-war.
David Cameron now has to be Paul-full of self importance, lots of cash, argues with John a lot!!!

He could be Ringo - you know, banging his drum....

I can't see JC as any of The Beatles. I suppose George might be the nearest (peace and love etc.), but really there's no comparison...

I didn't hear the end of the Jeremy Vine programme. What was the general concensus?

Yes, I heard him say that on the Today programme. I thought it was very good! grin

Jeremy Corbyn could well split the Labour party though.

I've gone off it now, it did seem funny at the time:

Not often you can get a laugh from politics, but I heard something this morning that made me laugh out loud (I was driving at the time, too!).

Apparently, Tom Watson likened anyone who might defect from Labour to the LibDems as being like someone who left the Beatles to join a Banarama Tribute Band.
Now a Banarama Tribute Band (I think called Bananarumour) has offered to sing at the LibDem Conference grin

Jeremy Vine (I think it was he) wondered which Beatle Jeremy Corbyn is?
