Labour MP's harassment

Thanks rq.

I have just listened to Jeremy Corbyn on Jeremy Vine on Tuesday 1st December. It is well worth listening to whatever your political persuasion. I will say no more.

I was being unnecessarily picky because you were, bags. If you do not want your father's views being mentioned by others, do not mention them yourself. Then nobody can get the wrong end of the stick.

You say that since you were seventeen others say you have a way with words, and therefore choose exactly the word you want to use. In which case you should know that there is a vast difference in meaning between those two words. Otherwise it's all Alice in Wonderland.

I can only comment on what I have seen and experienced myself Eloethen although I do agree that this kind of activity is probably rife in all areas, where there are "safe seats". My town has been Labour controlled forever. There is a very high percentage of elderly people most of whom worked in and around heavy industry. and are stuck in a kind of time warp. The Labour party was the only party who looked after their interest and need do nothing at all to ensure their vote. Infact I have said on many occasions a monkey could stand for the Labour party in my town and get elected.

Same as in many Tory seats, a monkey could stand and the Tories would still win

Well, it would depend which party the monkey was standing for, wouldn't it?

It doesn't always follow though.

I will never forget the wonderful Dame Joan Vickers
Vickers unsuccessfully contested South Poplar at the 1945 general election and was elected Member of Parliament for Plymouth Devonport at the 1955 general election, defeating Michael Foot. She sat until the February 1974 general election when she was defeated by Labour's Dr David Owen

David Owen's success was, I believe, due in part to him being a 'local boy'.

Devonport would not be a natural Tory constituency.

Ana I've just checked Electoral Commision website and only humans, over 18 and British Citizens or a Citizen of a Commonwealth Country (I think I got that last criterion correct, but I might have misunderstood in my haste while looking for primate and sus scofa domesticus candidates) can stand for election to the commons.

Not sure about the Lords though?

Thank you Anya. Take note, gillybob and Anniebach!

I thought only membership of the police force was open to sus scofa domesticus ? You mean they have tried to stand for Parliament?

That's the best bit about GN you pick up such useless interesting information Elegran and Ana

Just as long as you don't believe it eh?

I thought that sus scofa domesticus were Naval Officers?
nuff said, too close to home

You are thinking of the one in the heads in Operation Petticoat, RR

Do you know, I have never seen it

It is on Youtube, RRhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p2JpYJpcFM

"A Private function" also features an example of sus scofa domesticus, plus Michael Palin, Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliott, Richard Griffiths, Bill Paterson and Alison Steadman

Should have left a space before www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p2JpYJpcFM

As you were. Back to harassment.

Thanks Elegran

Back to the pigsty wardroom
Actually the galley, himself will be asking for his dinner soon, must fill up the trough

It has gone rather quiet on GN. Everyone must be getting their tea. I shall do the same, and then I shall watch Operation Petticoat (since it looks as though I shall have to pay to watch "A Private Function") I've not watched Cary Grant or Tony Curtis for a while.

Scared everyone away with our dodgy attempts at humour? Not used much in little, red books.

JamJar Saturday 23.16 Thanks for the link , ' I agree with Nick '. Long time since that's been heard

And (can't post the link, sorry) there was an article by Peter Oborne (was it the Mail or the MOS?) full of praise for Jeremy Corbyn.

It's becoming a topsy-turvy situation.
