'peopleforjeremy' tells you all you need to know about that Twitter link - no need to bother reading it!

durhamjen Sat 13-May-17 15:48:44

Lots of people for Jeremy.

Hmm...ever heard of photoshop, durhamjen? grin

Wonder why Jezza's so far down in the popularity polls. Any idea?

James2451 Sat 13-May-17 16:03:13

Why does political tribalism so often play on the " I am alright right Jack " attitude and people get what they deserve or alternatively only the politics of envy?

Why not strive as a nation for decent fair policies that call for greater fairness and equalty to improve the economy of the nation. A fair wage structure for all and the elimination of poverty and inequalities. Enable society to remove the barriers that get in the way of an Ageing Society living out a decent quality of life.

From a different angle. St Helen's Square, York, on Wednesday. Doesn't need to be photoshopped.

You really don't get irony, do you - either of you?

Maybot's visit to York.

Don't know a 'Maybot'. I do know of a 'JezzPuppet', but that's not likely to catch on...

durhamjen Sat 13-May-17 16:15:40

The irony - of Maybot secretly going in the back door and not daring to speak to the crowds?
The one who said she wouldn't do TV debates because she would be out talking to the general public?

I get the irony.

"Prime Minister Theresa May was in York today – but few knew.

Rather than meet any of the people of the city she chose to give an unannounced speech in a back room at the Barbican Centre in front of an invited audience.

Although ironically enough she told them: “I know how important it is to be out there, talking directly to voters, hearing their concerns.” "

Bus companies must be making so much money, busing in all the Momentum groupies

Anniebach Sat 13-May-17 16:33:54

Taking into account all the women who surround Jezza he has something which attracts soooo many women, such a sexpot

durhamjen Sat 13-May-17 16:53:11

Perhaps you should look at those photos in York rather than just make slurs. I would say there are twice as many men as women.

Ana Sat 13-May-17 17:06:48

Photoshop can do that.

durhamjen Sat 13-May-17 17:12:29

Yes, and they can also do the videos and everything.
Pathetic, Ana.
York Central has a labour MP. It will also be full of tourists at this time of year. Perhaps half of them were American, a quarter Italian, a quarter from Australia, a quarter from the Uk and another half from the rest of the EU, all wanting to see and hear the next PM of the UK.

Oh, dear that's more than 100%.
I am sure photoshop can do that, too.

durhamjen Sat 13-May-17 17:13:55

Maybot seemed to have equal numbers of men and women. You can count them if you want to. That was at an airfield in Northumberland.

Ana Sat 13-May-17 17:15:04

Pathetic durj! grin

MaizieD Sat 13-May-17 17:38:33

So you honestly think, Ana, that the Labour Party has someone tucked away in a back room dutifully photoshopping all pictures of Corbyn's election rallies?

And you call dj pathetic... hmm

Ana Sat 13-May-17 17:41:07

Er...dj had already called me 'pathetic' *MaizieD if you'd bothered to read all the posts.

durhamjen Sat 13-May-17 17:54:33

I didn't call you pathetic. I said that what you said was pathetic. It was.
Strange you can't just accept that there are crowds of people in York centre at 4 pm. They really don't need to be photoshopped, or brought in by the coachload as suggested.
I lived there for ten years. I know how full the city centre is in May.
It's also only five minutes walk from York St John university.

Ana Sat 13-May-17 18:00:44

Yes, I know you lived there for 10 years. As I said before, you just don't get irony, do you? smile

Anniebach Sat 13-May-17 18:03:23

Problem is dj, you have stated since Corbyn became leader he was a pacifist , you attacked those he said he was not . Now he has said he is not a pacifist do you claim you were right, the truth is the truth is it not?

durhamjen Sat 13-May-17 18:10:49

Irony isn't telling lies.

GracesGranMK2 Sat 13-May-17 19:17:05

The crowds in York looked very impressive Jen. Rather larger than Nanny May's invited audience and lickspittle journalists!

Did you realise the back to back Question Time's are going to be in York. A York audience for Nanny May; do you think she will make them sit on the naughty if they ask the wrong questions?

rosesarered Sat 13-May-17 19:36:31

An impressive crowd of tourists then?
What the heck does it matter, and all these silly names for T May.
It looks like she will be the PM for the next five years......and perhaps the five after that unless Labour gets it's act together and can somehow ditch Corbyn.
