Traingate

You are quite right dj re; G/Bourne. I just feel it is a very stuffy example to trot out.

A JOKE
Reporter; "If you wanted to make a point about crowded train,Mr. Corbyn, why did you not chose a notoriously crowded journey.
Corbyn; "But I wouldn't have got a seat then"

Jen, this is a thread about Corbyn not the Tories, I will continuing to criticise thr hypocrite and you can continue to defend him

why complain because the head of Sainsbury earns more money than Corbyn, dear God that's mad Jen , you seem obsessed with Corbyn, accept the fact , not everyone is

Good one Beam.

Sorry, Annie, you've confused me there.
You tell me in one post that this is a thread about Corbyn, then in the next that I am obsessed with Corbyn.
I think you've lost the plot there.

Except, Beam, that he had to get from London to Newcastle, so it would have been a bit daft if he'd gone on a train to the south east or south west.
Actually the train to Edinbuurgh is quite regularly packed.

Interestingly, if HS2 happens, the way to get to Newcastle will then be to go to Birmingham first, then Leeds, then Newcastle, reducing the journey by 30 minutes. I think I'd rather keep it as it is.

Ok Jen

I suppose people will still be able to go the old way too if half an hour here or there doesn't make much difference to them?

HS2 is to speed up the link between London (British city no.1) and Birmingham (British city no.2), isn't it?

I understand Trade Union leaders aren't exactly badly paid?! But what would a wicked old Tory like me know about the financial whys and wherefore of socialism?!

Well it is more irony every day isn't it.

So you can have your Labour Party membership taken away if you so much as use the 'F Word', yet John McDonnell can't stop himself from using the 'F Word' and is still Shadow Chancellor of her Majesty's Opposition.

How does that work?
--

Labour Lord Sainsbury , Labours biggest Donor over the years is now being threatened with suspension from the party . Yes you guessed it by John McDonnell!

You couldn't make it up.

John McDonald said in an interview it was lsbour party staff who were taking memberships away.

Ian McNicoll went on record to say this was a lie because labour party staff were being
Attacked , he explained it was a sub committee of the NEC who were weaning out those who have and will have their membership taken away and not Labour Party employees

"McDonald"

in my defence please remember how LL is pronounced in Welsh , I can't call him McDonall, try this - put your tongue ready to say L but say sh, Llangollen isn't pronounced Langolen is it

No. It's pronounced Langothlen (with a bit of throat clearing sound behind it)

Is this right? Llangollen: /sh/an-go/sh/-en

I've been saying it wrong for years!

Noooo, it's not sh, it's LL

For Jingle

Knock an el off the end and you'll be able to say his name, ab

True thatbags, but that would be incorrect spelling.

So is McDonald. Also, you only have to knock the el off in your head.

ab I got it from this website (scroll down a bit)

dpac.uk.net/2016/08/open-letter-deaf-disabled-people-4-jeremycorbyn-list-of-signatures/

For a bit of balance.

Jingle, I promise you there is no sh in Llangollen, to be fair LL causes more problems to non Welsh than the rest of the alphabet , except FF is F. and F is V

I am going to get a ticking off for not staying on topic , sorry all, thanks Jingle, break in tension is good

No thatbags, McDonal is spelling the name incorrectly, McDonald is spelling correctly just confusing two names

Sainsbury is not being threatened with being suspended from the Labour Party.
What John McDonnell said was that Labour were showing double standards by kicking out the leader of the Baker's Union, Draper, but not Sainsbury.
That's not quite what you said, POGS.
