Here you are.

All Corbyn critics etc can now have a thread all to yourselves.

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 13:05:56

I accept mycat that being anti JC is not necessarily the same as being right wing but on GN there’s a pretty close correlation. And FO with your comment about worshiping him- GTFU

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 13:02:29

Dearest lemon and mycat perhaps you could elucidate as to when and where I demonstrated my worship or support of JC? Your posts are ridiculous - the minute any poster criticises the Tories they are a JC supporter. WTAF.

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 12:59:22

Hahahahaha ab you honestly don’t know who the Tories expelled the other week for supporting the LD? Hahahahaha

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 12:57:54

You know ab as hard as it might be to believe, not everything is about you and no one is stupid enough to believe that you will stop criticising JC - as if. And I’ll make comments about your posts whenever I want ( or sly digs as you prefer to call the). Look to yourself ab

maryeliza has kept her bashing for me, ?

lemongrove Tue 28-May-19 12:55:43

MaryE......as WWM2 has so ‘kindly’ provided a thread for Corbyn bashing ? you have to get into the spirit of things and join in!
This isn’t a thread for extolling or denigrating the Tories or for saying how wonderful Corbyn is ( do you really think so btw?)

Anniebach Tue 28-May-19 12:55:38

Who is MH ?

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 12:54:19

You see ab you made that statement about AC but didn’t say what you thought about it nor did you mention that MH was expelled. FWIW I think any party expelling any member for voting for another party in this particular set of circumstances is ridiculous and counter productive. At least these two were open about - many many more did the same no doubt. So what’s your opinion ab without making it an anti-JC issue?

Anniebach Tue 28-May-19 12:54:04

This thread has been started in the hope it will silence me from criticism of Corbyn, and to have personal digs, how petty

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 12:53:09

And being anti Corbyn isn’t being right wing!!!!!

It’s expecting a strong effective opposition to be flying in the polls with this Tory administration in melt down

They are utterly utterly hopeless and Corbyn is the leader so he must take the blame

You are blinkered by your worship of him

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 12:49:47

GillT

Absolutely agree.

Mary

I have consistently said the Tory administration was a disgrace.

I agree it’s not either or. In my view both are bloody awful and I actually started a thread saying both front benches were the worst in my living memory

But I expect better from labour that’s the point

Anniebach Tue 28-May-19 12:49:39

It was a snide dig and included a lie.

Anniebach Tue 28-May-19 12:48:07

Alastair Cambell has been expelled from the Labour Party for voting for the Libs last week.

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 12:46:20

Wasn’t a snide dig at all ab( I leave that
to you). It was a clear statement of fact that you don’t like. Well tough - you dish it out enough yourself so you’ll just have to learn to suck it up too. Your posts never criticise Tory policies or ever discuss possible policy positions you’d like to see enacted - which is tbf par for the course with the right wing on here.

Anniebach Tue 28-May-19 12:41:53

Having a snide dig at a poster is childish

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 12:40:18

mycat it’s not a dichotomous choice between JC and the Tories you know. And if you feel so strongly about Tory failures, why don’t you come out of the JC bashing corner of the playground and actually say so?

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 12:37:05

But mycat that isn’t how the Corbyn bashing goes - there’s never a point made by the right wing about the failures since 2010. There’s never any balance or acceptance of the impact of policies since then on so many lives. It’s just the same old same old same old bile, hate and knee jerk responses to JC led by someone who was ill informed enough to vote for him, And for posting this, there’ll no doubt be childish stupid comments about being a Corbynista. <sigh> The main reason so many bash JC is because they actually approve of the policies that have been enacted since 2010 so have nothing else to contribute

GillT57 Tue 28-May-19 12:30:47

Many feel as you do Mycat, including those who have always voted Labour. This current Tory administration has been one of the most cruel and divisive in history, the gaps between the haves and have-nots has got ever wider, NHS struggling, schools struggling etc., etc., but even with this platter of ineptitude presented to him, Corbyn cannot get a head of steam. Shameful, and unfit to hold the title of Leader of the Opposition.

Mycatisahacker Tue 28-May-19 12:22:37

No he’s isn’t Gill couldn’t agree more this Tory government has been. Shocking.

But I still couldn’t vote labour with Corbyn In charge.

GillT57 Tue 28-May-19 12:14:47

agreed Maryeliza the smugness of some is mindblowing, with their self assured belief that somehow people bring disaster on themselves. Corbyn is a disaster for the Labour party but he is not responsible for the punishing policies of the current administration.

Caledonai14 Tue 28-May-19 12:04:10

Well said Maryeliza.

GillT57 Tue 28-May-19 12:03:34

Crikey, even before the thread gets started, people are digging at each other. Corbyn certainly is the gift that keeps on giving! Anyone hear Ms Abbott on R4 this morning? Assuring us all that the Labour party are and have always been in support of a second referendum ( yeah, right), albeit after exhausting all chances of a General Election.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 28-May-19 12:02:28

Here’s something from a Labour MP, and I find it interesting because I find it invaluable.

Not conversation at all - just utter fuckwittery

maryeliza54 Tue 28-May-19 11:59:24

Tbf mycat it was spoiling the other thread and it’s not even as though anything new or insightful was being added was it? However WW’s well intentioned act won’t work because the whole point for some GNers is to turn any thread they possibly can into a Corbyn hate fest because the last thing they want is a rational discussion on the absolute failure of the Government not only on Brexit but a whole raft of other issues that impact daily, hourly on the most vulnerable of our citizens. That btw helps to explain the support for the BP - who cares about having any policies because with a right wing racist as the Great Leader they can rely on his promoting policies that will continue to kick the vulnerable. The irony is that so many BP supporters don’t realise that they are or may become the vulnerable
