Voting for Jeremy Corbyn - the political equivalent of buying a Harley Davidson

I watched the speech, GracesGran, with my grandson, although he gave up after an hour. Not bad for him.

Excellent speech, definitely ready for power, as all these Guardian commentators seem to think.

Fair play GGMK2, it's only fair that actual words from a recognised language are used to explain an opinion, don't you agree?

I hope the Daily Mail writers are going to be careful what they say tomorrow.
What was the ratio - 14 pages of anti-Corbyn polemic gives him an extra ten percent votes?

Maryeliza did correct herself the next post she wrote.
Is that not allowed?
Personally I think it's rather ridiculous to make fun of someone who has corrected herself. Just showing yourself up.

Not if you are me Chewbacca so presumably not if you are some other people either.

I thought the jokes were nicely balanced Jen and hadn't realised the DM had written 14 pages against Labour until he said. DM or not, tomorrows papers will be interesting

I will need to check that GGM2 and if that is the case then Ofsted must be VERY easily fooled. No mention of it on their website mind you.

I could also walk up and down Downing Street with a poster that says “Tell me how you measure me and I will tell you how I will behave. If you measure me in an illogical way… do not complain about illogical behaviour

I really wouldn't GGM2 as its just a load of nonsense and no-one would read it anyway.

Oh, goodness, the language police are back. I better leave this thread for a while as I am sure to make a mistake

I am sure that if YOU were accused of "being something" you would at least want to know what it meant GGM2

hadn't realised the DM had written 14 pages against Labour

Yes, making creative use of statistical abstracts is an indicator of someone creating a Barnum effect.

Only 14 pages Primrose? Blimey they must be slipping.

There's rather an amusing thread in Chat called "Malapropisms.

It was 14 pages the day before the last election.
Never mind, I expect derision from some of you.
Much better than being serious about anything.

No apology to eliza for missing her correction?
No, much easier to carry on taking the mick.

Just be careful yourselves.

I rather thought that making fun of typos etc was considered bad form?

Gilly, what does "hybolic" mean? I can not find it by search. Any idea?

Of course it is mary

That was to gilly primrose and chewbacca who sadly cannot read either as well as being childish, pathetic and rude.

And norah who sadly shares the same affliction

Here's something to cheer us up. Labour party quick off the mark.

durhamjen you made fun of a poster the other day for putting ( as you thought) a full stop in the wrong place.
People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

I think if you accuse someone of "being something", then the very least you should do is make sure that the "thing" actually exists, otherwise is this itself not "bad form" ?

Yes I (now) get that you might have meant "hyperbolic" or whatever Maryeliza, but considering I genuinely did not understand what I was being accused of, I decided it might be "good form" to ask?

I've just grabbed the remote and about to watch the speech!

For the record... I have often been mocked for bad grammar and poor spelling... I couldn't give a monkey's toot.

Hybolic - a portmanteau word meaning water in the ears and thick as a tree trunk?

Water off a duck's back maryeliza!

Maryeliza why not laugh it off hybolic was an amusing word, no need to be so stuffy.

monkeys toot I shall use that.
