Corbyn and No Confidence

What problem?

Or, as the Telegraph claims, he was born in Chippenham, Shropshire!

Who writes this rubbish?
Oh, Charlotte Krol
Presumably she got paid, too.

Anyway, this doesn't solve the problem1

I don't know how much ski-ing takes place in Salop

Perhaps down the Long Mynd?

Anyway, it is still not Wales
And i think Jeremy C was born in Chippenham (or so they claimed)

If the inhabitants of Shropshire are salop(e)s are the babies *Salopettes"?

Always brought up to say Shroosbury
Then met a boy from 'Shrowsbury'
(But I didn't marry him --thank goodness--)

I never knew that Salop was 'Anglo-Norman French'. The things you can learn on GN!

Join the club dd. It's much more fun down here with the plebs

Thanks for the answer. I always say Shrooo, so I'm obviously not posh.

Daphnedill Shrows if you're posh (or aspirational) Shoosbry if not! Perhaps plenty Scots and Welsh politicians/leaders cos it's hard in Wales and up north and they had to fight for their rights.

Shroosbury dd, but even Salopians (see what I did there?) who've lived here a long time argue about that

Gladstone was born in England, but was Scottish.

lazigirl

Blair, David Steel, Gordon Brown, Alec Douglas Home, Charles Kennedy, AJ Balfour, Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Ramsey MacDonald for starters then from Wales, Lloyd George, Nye Bevan, Neil Kinnock (I have probably missed loads!)
Easier to enumerate English born UK political leaders and prime ministers!!

{grin]

Do you pronounce Shrewsbury as 'Shrooosbry' or 'Shrowsbry'?

We don't say Salop anymore Jalima, because of French connotations. Blame it on EU if you like.

Newport in Salop is not that far from Wales (Corbyn)

Just saying
Ducks and runs

Blair is Scottish.

Once the press starts putting the boot any leader is doomed, especially LP ones. Unfortunately the way we practise politics is adversarial, and I guess people like it as it's more exciting, but IMO not much to do with democracy. I think it would serve us better to have proportional representation, instead of a few constituencies deciding who will run the country. Consensus politics, which I think is what Corbyn is trying just won't work here, unfortunately. The traditional Labour voter doesn't exist any more, so perhaps it is time for parties on the left to join together to form a strong group to oppose the Tories. This will be necessary in the next couple of years, to ensure we hold on to the rights and benefits we have had in EU for one thing.

Neil Gordon Kinnock?

See , I'm quite good too!
He even had a Scottish middle name!

Yes Rosesarered, you are really up on British politics

You also had Tony Blair.

Yes POGS, and if he had stood as leader as was expected things would have been so different, in my opinion. Brown took over after constant attacks in the press as to his mental stability, then the unfortunate release of him calling that woman a bigot.

Well you did have Gordon Brown Anniebach.

Labour needs a Scots or Welsh leader . Not being anti English I promise , far more difficult to place these accents into a class

daphnedil

I have read it ! How would I know she mentions the word Zio as I mentioned in my post 13.09 , a word used which we discussed in the Anti - Semitism in the Labour Party and Universities thread.
