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

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.

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.

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.

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

I very much doubt that anybody prefers insults and inanities, and think that once the bullying posts start then you have lost the arguement.Stop the interrogations and the childish insults towards anniebach and stick to politics.

I thought so lemon, remember the songs of adoration sung to him ?

Conference season should be interesting.

I doubt anyone wants insults and inanities but some enjoy posting them else they wouldn't do it. All I have done is post my opinions on Corbyn and Momentum

Conference all arrange , there is to be no criticism of Corbyn, no left of centre speakers to address the members.

So, lemongrove, you didn't notice Annie saying that Corbyn arrived on a donkey, but you noticed me saying it. Why?

What do you think the joke is?

No durhamjen I didn't notice your mentioning it, it was anniebach who mentioned it,so I asked if it was a joke, and surely it is.

If true, it's even funnier than him arriving on a Harley.

It isn't funny it's another inanity but still this is a political thread and nobody wants to discuss politics do they? Especially not those responsible for the current mess the NHS, public services and the benefit system are in.

claiming I cannot read is a political discussion

This is what McCluskey said.

“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.”

What do you think of that, Annie?

Is the law wrong?
Do you support the unions?

My God, you do go on durhamjen you have done this union question to death.Who cares?

Some people care lemongrove. Some people feel very strongly about workers' rights and the importance of trade unions.

I care, lemongrove, and so should Annie, being a strong socialist, and with her background.
How long have you been on GN?

As you don't care lemongrove why bother to post? Leave it to those who do.

More nosiness durhamjen?You just cannot help yourself.
My question 'who cares' was aimed at those who keep on wondering, what another poster, Anniebach thinks of unions.
And, as she has already answered, they are a very good thing of course, but not if they try to run the country.
My view too, so can this hot topic, what a poster on here thinks about unions?Be finally put to bed.

And I'm sorry, but the thought of Corbyn on a donkey is funny, exceptionally so.?

Deflection again. If you don't like unions lemongrove why not? They are representatives of working people. Do you think working people shouldn't have any influence? Do you think it should only be the rich and powerful people and companies who influence government (because believe me they do) or do you fondly imagine that there aren't powerful bodies lobbying parliament all the time? And most of them don't have the interests of working people at their heart.

Wot the 'ell are you on about now trisher?
My post above at 22.33.03 says it all.So I shan't be bothering to say more.

You think they shouldn't run the country lemongrove so who should? Big business? Lobbyists?

How about the Government? A revolutionary idea I know.?
