Corbyn

Incidently the JRM interview is quite funny

I Googled it Oopsminty I found a lot of interviews including him talking to Jacob Rees Mogg, arguing with Andrew Neil and other people. The only instance I could find of him walking out was on Sky News when after the Orlando shootings in a gay nightclub the interviewer refused to recognise the incident as a hate crime against the LGBTQ community, which given is sexuality I thought was justified.

He says what's to be said gets his point across very clearly articulately you can't argue with that.

Trisher. He's rude and obnoxious if you dare to disagree with him. Very intolerant.

He's stormed out of interviews

Just Google. It's so easy to do

Whenever people start saying "I would tell you but it wouldn't do any good," I automatically think they really have no argument but they don't want to admitt it.

In a funny way Maizie I do understand, and even identify with Owen Jones because I am convinced that a vote for the Liberal Democrats is the best way any of us can help our country, just as Owen thinks we should vote Labour.

Some of his comments I can agree with, but others not. I could list them but I am not sure it would make any difference to those who have already committed to supporting the LP come what may.

Would you like to point out what was 'unobjective' about anything Jones said in that clip, varian?

I've read some of the comments, too, and some people point out that Corbyn might not have been whiter than white on occasion but is anybody ever 'right' 100% of the time? (before the whataboutery starts)

Owen Jones is a good journalist and a fervent supporter of Jeremy Corbyn.

Now and then he is invited by the Brexit Broadcasting Corporation to give some sort of obvious balance to their usual panel of brexitories. But unfortunately he goes over the top in his slavish defense of Corbyn.

It is probably good that there is a mainstream journalist to fulfill this role but unfortunately Owen Jones has no objectivity at all. It is just a case of Corbyn (and his close clique) good, all other politicians bad.

In what way Oopsminty?

Is he Oopsminty can you give me details of when he has been rude please? He always sems to me to be remarkably calm and polite even when he is attacked by right wingers he seems to maintain his cool. Quite often the attacks are personal like criticising him because he looks too young.

Owen Jones? Dreadful man. He's so rude!

I am anti Tory and afraid of Labour. Also do not like or trust Lib Dem.

An attack on the Tories does help me to feel any better about Corbyn.

You're welcome GracesGranMK3 And Trisher

Which includes me trisher. Although there are those who it suits to described me differently I am still questioning and trying to understand.

Thanks Granya wonderful answer to those who constantly question Corbyn and doubt his patriotism.

Thank you Grany.

This is an astonishing attack on the Tories and a quite brilliant defence of Jeremy Corbyn. Probably the best thing you will watch today. #GE2019

Probably after Labour! ‘After you, I insist old chap ...’
?

Does anyone know when the ERG Tories are publishing their manifesto?

he is too vague and many of his promises sound good but now I am older I would know that they are not feasible.

Pinkquartz I think the LP manifesto is out on Thursday. They only met to decide yesterday. Perhaps it will be clearer for you once it is out.

The commitment made by Labour is to provide an "open access" internet which can be used in exactly the same way it is now, by any company wanting to provide services. There are many places in the world were this happens. Australia, much-beloved by Torie's for its points system for immigration is one, though, just like the points system you will find criticism of it in the country itself.

This is not a new idea. The government builds roads but we choose our cars and where we are going. On a smaller scale, in a block of flats, a service company may charge for providing the basic services for all. How, I wonder, does that differ from paying tax for basic services to be provided?

trsisher

well the re-nationalization of everything.
I would love the Railways and Water and Utilities to be back in State control but he has gone too far talking about State Broadband

Sorry have to go back later

One of my daughters is considering voting Labour because at this stage in the campaign the LP look best placed to beat her dreadful Brexitory MP. However that does not mean she endorses all LP policies or thinks Corbyn is fit to be PM.

It could also be true that many others are voting for the overall policies of the party they choose but not, necessarily their views on Brexit. Many people did not vote in the Brexit referendum or have got fed up with it all since. It's quite ridiculous to see this as a GE just for Brexit and, if it isn't, it cannot be for such a binary decision at all. I was shocked that the Liberals moved away from a confirmatory referendum but I suppose they think it will get them the most seats.

pinkquartz I don't think anyone has suggested that the Jews should give up Israel. It has been suggested that they should stop expanding into Palestinian territory and withdraw to the 1967 boundaries as UN resolution 242 requested.
Woud you like to explain why the LP policies are not feasible? They are properly costed.

I will never vote right wing, but Corbyn scares me.
he is too vague and many of his promises sound good but now I am older I would know that they are not feasible.

A young pinkquartz would have voted Labour.
A middle-aged pinkquartz would have voted Green. But according to them I am a "non man" so that's out.

Am thinking I can only spoil the Ballot paper.
