Er why would you prefer to live in a dictatorship. I think May is appalling too.

Anniebach Fri 03-May-19 09:17:27

Corbyn bashing means criticising Corbyn . The 8th deadly sin ?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 03-May-19 09:13:53

Not sure anyone is “Corbyn bashing” just stating the obvious faults with the Labour Front Bench policies and ideas - as in no thought to financing them other than “tax the rich”!!!

Anniebach Fri 03-May-19 08:33:20

If you mean criticising Corbyn ? No ,

Grannyrebel27 Fri 03-May-19 08:29:57

Can everyone please stop Corbyn bashing?

Anniebach Fri 03-May-19 08:21:35

those who criticise Corbyn because he is destroying a party some have supported for many years are sneeringly
Called closest tories .

When Theresa May was criticised for her performance as PM, some people were quite vocal in support of her, despite her appalling incompetence in almost every aspect of government, past and present, and particularly with regard to the Brexit farce.

Why is it thought OK to sing her praises and express sympathy for her "plight" whilst those who have tried to counter the constant smears and criticisms of Corbyn - who is not responsible for the mess we are in - are described in sneering terms as "Corbynites", "worshippers", etc, etc?

Kinnock was not far left, when he became leader after lsbour was badly defeated in 1983 he had to rebuild the party , free the party of the far left and the press were very much against a Welsh labour PM .same with Gordon Brown being Scots.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 02-May-19 22:01:03

Mycatisahacker Yep!!

Mycatisahacker Thu 02-May-19 21:53:00

To b fair kinnock was far more sensible than this lot

Anniebach Thu 02-May-19 21:27:12

It is scary GrannyGravy , so easy for Corbynites to accuse anyone who doesn’t want / trust this man for PM - your a Tory. Only the far left care , what rubbish

GrannyGravy13 Thu 02-May-19 21:03:07

Anniebach It will be like The Suns headlines in the event of Neil Kinnock getting the keys to No.10 "can the last person leaving the UK please turn the lights off"!!!!

Seriously scary prospect for anyone in business.

Anniebach Thu 02-May-19 20:50:41

Where is this money coming from? Increased taxation, the big business moguls can leave the country, so whose next on the list? Medium and small businesses ?

Mycatisahacker Thu 02-May-19 20:46:14

Yes forgot the instruments Anniebach

And the St George’s bank holiday must be because Emily wants to fly the English flag and not take the piss out of herself. grin

It’s ok Em the baroness we can do it for you.

Anniebach Thu 02-May-19 20:22:12

Not forgetting he has said over one billion for care for the elderly .

4 new bank holidays? So he in going to increase the number of legal days holiday because now bank holidays can be included in holiday leave , 4 new bank holidays means 4 less days of holiday leave.

Last election there was a promise of free musical instruments for all school children , will this be in the new manifesto?

Chasing rainbows

Mycatisahacker Thu 02-May-19 20:13:21

And if he’s so interested in Palestinian rights he might ask Hammas to hold free and fair elections and stop executing its own Palestinian people who want these things.

Mycatisahacker Thu 02-May-19 17:21:10
