Comrade Corbychev's Cock-Ups

No trisher you just use your rhetoric and bile against other posters you don’t agree with.
If you consider Grandad43’s posts on here to be anything other than childish insults then you may well be in the minority.

I'm saying that there is no reasoned debate on threads in GN. Any attempt to start one is shut down by posters whose opinions are difficult to assess, because they never actually post any of their own, apart from insults and reitterations of things they have read in the press (right wing usually). Their way of dealing with anyone who disagrees with them is to read into a post something that was never said and then continue to insist this is what was meant no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary.
I have stated many times what my left wing beliefs are and where they come from. I very occasionally use press links to inform about a problem, but I don't use the rhetoric and bile many on here consider to actually be criticism.

Spot on sunseeker!!!

trisher are you saying that those of us who have a different viewpoint from you are influenced by "right wing press". Have you considered that you may be influenced by "left wing press".

I have read through this thread and I think those answering grandad1943 are not "decrying" his political viewpoint, but they are laughing at his lecturing attitude of "I'm right everyone else is wrong"

Grandad1943 you have become involved with the posters on GN who consistently decry anyone who posts any reasoned comment that doesn't fit their rather narrow and illogical opinions. It is amusing for a bit to needle them and read the replies as they take offence and become less and less able to produce a reasoned argument. And the acclamation and encouragement they give each other is positively childish. Unfortunately they continue to post the same rubbish, believing apparently they have won some sort of battle when people give up. They consistently assert how caring they are, denying they are Tories or reactionary but showing in every word right wing bias.
Joseph Cowan the radical MP from Blaydon once wrote that he believed women should have the vote, but that once they had it there would never again be a radical MP elected in Newcastle because women were too much under the influence of the church and priests. Substitute right wing press for church and priests and you have the situation on GN

Very much like Oldwoman, he doesn’t seem aware that there are pensioners, seems we are the few not the many.

Much like he avoids disaffected councillors and pensioners

He doesn’t cope well with questions he hasn’t prepared for, he avoids them as much as he can

I have a degree of sympathy for him as well Jalimal. I wonder if he has nightmares about becoming PM. He can't handle PMQ so how on earth would he cope with world leaders?

Sorry - that isn't correct - I'm not firing on all cylinders at the moment - only had I cup of coffee.

yggdrasil if you don't post on a thread it very quickly drops off the bottom of your "I'm on" section.

Hey Grandad1943, you have discovered what I found some time ago, there is no point using past experience to tell actual facts.
Anyway, the title of this forum should have given you a clue.
By posting this, I have moved this one right back up the list, it takes a whole month of no postings to drop off. I wish there was a way of removing them from the 'Im'm On' section!

If Corbyn became PM how would he cope without written notes at PMQ ? Perhaps he would have a thingy in his ear so his note writer could tell him what answers to give, gosh his questions go on and on and on , I wonder if his notes Include directions? - pause , look over specs, lean forward, glare etc

My son in law draw Asian wife is the legal secretary ,

That didn’t work did it ?

My son in law who isn’t wife is a legal secretary , she isn’t Asian ?

I try not to be picky but - "legal secretary's ..... " . The job of secretaries is to type the reports that have been dictated by the qualified lawyers.
Medical secretaries type up the letters and reports written by the medics. If a secretary was a qualified doctor or lawyer - they'd be earning much more and not spending all their time typing something written by the person they work for.

I have always felt that Corbyn was a man promoted beyond his capabilities. I think he is probably a decent sort of man but is totally out of his depth.

The local elections proved that point.

Jalima I felt a bit sorry for Corbyn initially, he was so obviously out of his depth and comfort zone.....he still is, but the LP has changed around him and he is surrounded by those who tell him everything is wonderful and the country is behind him ( it isn’t.)

Anyway I am off to bed in expectations of being banned from this forum by morning. I have really enjoyed this evening and I and others will (from a distance) still be able to witness the supposedly serious but in reality joke posts on this section of the forum.

I think it was my reference to a party of now only seventy thousand members with an average age of seventy one that undoutedly upset a section of members who seen reference to that which they support and in that themselves within that remark.

However, the truth always hurts.

I wonder who will report this posting.

He is just not very good at thinking on his feet, is he, lemongrove.
Not the best man in a crisis.

I feel rather sorry for him in a way.

The reference to taking a break was to you Jalima1108 which you undoubtedly understood, or perhaps not being a Daily Mail reader or Sun reader. Now run off and report this post to teacher, which will be another victory to me.

I think Primrose must be on holiday? hope she went to somewhere nice with a beach and

Corbyn was spluttery and ineffective today at PMQ’s ( so what’s new.)

You should indeed Grandad
First sensible utterance you have made this evening.

Jalima1108, your repeated posts demonstrate stress and unclear thinking. I should take a break.
