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

Why on earth would Corbyn arrive on a donkey, is this a joke???

If you read the whole thread you will find a very reasoned assessment of the subject from me. Unfortunately Annie much prefers insults and inanities, so surprise ,surprise that's what she gets.

All I have done is point out to Annie that McCluskey doesn't think of himself alongside Gandhi and Mandela.
He said that if they were questioning them or the sufragettes the reporters would accuse them of breaking the law.
That's all. The rest was the spin put on by the reporters.

Unfortunately, she doesn't take any notice, just clings onto her dislike of Corbyn and allies.

She has mentioned Corbyn arriving on a donkey.
From that inference, you could say that Corbyn thinks he is Jesus. He doesn't, but Annie wants you to think he does.

Darnsarf I have been called a communist- I'm not. A Corbynite or a Corbynista- I'm not. I have been accused of wanting to have a revolution-I don't. I have been told I was wrong and I shouldn't have changed my vote or left the Labour Party because that was disloyal. I haven't complained and as far as I know no one has actually come on to complain about the person who has said all these things about me. In other words I have taken everything that was thrown at me. Only sometimes I like to redress the balance by saying something. It may be completely wrong, but it's no more wrong than the things that have been said about me and other people. It isn't 'bullying' when it goes both ways.

Whitewave, are you going to anything at the conference?

I notice that The World Transformed is going to be a separate part of the conference, with 40 MPs and speakers from across the party spectrum.

Good grief, he is arriving on a donkey

It's good to know that most of the Labour conference members support Corbyn, however he arrives there.

That's how it should be. They realise that Corbyn has revitalised the party.

Yes I ask questions. Simply because unlike some I don't know it all . Yes?

Reported your bullying posts.

It's a game that Annie plays quite well, Darnsarf.

Did you see that, trisher?
We don't discuss the subjects?
I wonder where Darnsarf got that from.

I reckon the bullying towardsAnniebach has gone far enough now. You've interrogated her, demanded she explains herself and political stance to you and now your calling her illiterate and unable to read or understand what she reads. And you've done that knowing that she has admitted to dyslexia. Shame on you.

Anniebach's favourite method of posting is to ask a question.
Haven't you noticed that, Darnsarf?

Whatever your politics the previous comments about Annie a very personal and extremely rude

Question. Why do trisher and durhamjen interrogate Anniebach so much? If they spent as much time discussing the subject as they spend on demanding full explanations it would be an improvement to the discussion. Failing that, could we give them a large black chair and a high beam torch to shine in her face so that the interrogation can be done properly?

A shame you can't read, Annie. Never mind.

The man needs treatment , seems to be in an advanced stage of delusions of grandeur. He places himself along side Mandela and Gandhi, notice he isn't prepared to die like Steve Biko .

This shows the sort of people who are taking over the Labour Party , sickening.

I agree Annie your politics are rather fragile
As I understand it:
You don't support a democratically elected leader.
You don't like the unions
You don't support the right of working people to withdraw their labour
You don't like socialists
You don't agree with public ownership of the railways
There is probably more but that will do for now. Difficult to see how you can claim to be Labour any longer.
lemongrove Party conferences aren't just about MPs you know. If you have a Tory MP and voted Labour how are you supposed to get your voice heard?
It always amazes me that people are so concerned about what working people might do and yet never worry what the fat cats are doing all the time
Oh and I was talking to some real Revolutionary Communists a couple of weeks ago. It was very enlightening. A lovely bunch of young people and my ideas are not the same as theirs. Very interesting though.

He didn't. Read it again.

"McCluskey said he and other union members might be willing to go to jail and could follow other historic figures by standing by their principles. “The reality is that the law is wrong and it has to be resisted. I dare say if you’d have been interviewing Nelson Mandela or Mahatma Gandhi or the suffragettes you’d be telling them that they were breaking the law.” "

He said they would be standing by their principles like Mandela and Gandhi and the sufragettes.

Annie disrespectful and self promoting as well. Smug and complacent! He has no right to compare himself to such great men.

So you don't support the unions in striking for better conditions?

I most certaintly do not support him in comparing himself with Mandela, so dramatic

Corbyn has to support his biggest donor

Do you support McCluskey in this, Annie?
Corbyn supports unions. If they can't rely on him, they will be in trouble.

Every conference has had ding dongs, not this year , it will be praise for Jeremy from every 'ordinary person' , no one will disagree , it will so cuddly, so set up
