Now we know what Corbyn meant when he said he wanted a new style of politics,

Labour well ahead in Welsh polls

Annie, it looks like a lot of your compatriots do not agree with your view of Corbyn.

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 17:55:33

Maybot was in Wales today. I wonder how many people she spoke to.

So what do you call it RAR when you have agreed to buy something but don't know either the cost or the consequences? Blank cheque seems good to me or, on another thread I have suggested The Theresa May Party uses the Mushroom Theory of Manangement.

Blank Cheque - in the literal sense, is a cheque that has no numerical value written in, but is already signed.

Voting May into power is signing that cheque while she refuses to tell us the figures that will go into it. What else can we call it?

For those who vote Labour but don't want Corbyn.

Jezza was in Hull today (apparently) but I missed him by a whisker.

Ana Mon 22-May-17 20:21:23

Tee hee - which one was that Jalima? grin

Jalima1108 Mon 22-May-17 20:24:16

But I did see Prezza grin, was going to stop for a chat but DH dragged me away
He is so annoying
Well, they both are!

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 20:27:26

Get behind a man without principles? Not for me, I have principles .

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 20:36:43

So this Corbyn man of principles refused to condemn the IRA because he is against all bombing, yet Hamas are his friends .

Who couldn!t honour his marriage vows because a choice of school was more important than the woman he exchanged the marriage vows with.

And has no problem with twiddling his manifesto

How do you twiddle a manifesto?

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 21:05:30

The leader of English labour managed it

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 21:06:10

I saw him on the news, but it looked like Cottingham, Jalima.

Ana Mon 22-May-17 21:09:58

Yes it seems to be very easy to twiddle a manifesto. They're all at it.

Jalima1108 Mon 22-May-17 21:14:33

He wasn't out and about djen, just waiting to start I think and waiting for Jeremy.

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 21:17:07

True Ana,

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 21:18:49

Were you in Hull for the festival?
We really think we ought to go there sometime this year, while it's still the Festival of Culture.

Jalima1108 Mon 22-May-17 21:23:41

Not enough time really but visited museums etc. Very interesting

durhamjen Mon 22-May-17 22:19:57

When we moved back to Hull in the 80s my husband was responsible for the refurbishment of Ferens Art Gallery. It's been refurbished again since then.
Another thing he was responsible for was the Transport Museum, and the Hasholme Boat. Beverley Road baths was closed for two years, as it was submerged there until they decided what to do with it, just in case you went to that museum.

Corbyn in Hull.
Labour support changed 16 points in Wales.

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 23:27:23

Welsh Labour launched it's manifesto today

Anniebach Mon 22-May-17 23:32:09

I just do not understand how some here can support Corbyn, claim he has principles. He wrote for a publication which stated - a good start to the peace talks, five Tories dead, this about the Brighton bombing and he invited two mrmbers if the IRA to Westminster five weeks after the bombing.

durhamjen Tue 23-May-17 00:12:46

Did you know that before you voted for him?
