And the opposition is in the grip of a antisemitic, terrorist sympathising campaign socialist who hates anyone other than the working class.

This are pretty s*** times.

Would rather Boris gets in to try and prise Labour from the grip of momentum.

It's going to be a while before we get a decent political party.

I haven't posted here for several weeks but couldn't let this pass.

I realise that you are a fully signed up member of the nasty party who give them a free pass on everything but you cannot really believe this. Can you?

As Marr told him this morning he is a "blusterer" who doesn't answer questions but sticks to the lines he has been given. When he strays off script he gets things wrong and ends up lying, as he did again today. Johnson could be amusing in an annoying way if our situation wasn't so serious but he is no polymath. Such a term applies only to great thinkers and Johnson is a thinking lightweight. Having had a privileged education and the opportunity to study the classics doesn't make you a thinker. It just means you have some quotes that make you appear that way.

Johnson needs to send Corbyn the biggest Christmas present possible this year because without him he would be suffering total humiliation. As it is we all will be.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Yup although i have problems with Islam.
I dont think it's compatible with modern western society, and we give it too much room to flourish in this country to our detriment.

He's what you'd expect from someone who was raised as part of a class system where he was born to lead. I wouldn't say he's anti or pro anything or anyone other than himself. Sometimes that may align with the interests of others though. By which I mean that in terms of 'getting brexit done', he's the only show in town, so is fit for purpose at least.

Good point. My bro has been through the mill with 'genuine' homophobia, but even through that he jokes with gay and straight mates that I'm sure some do gooders would deem as homophobia. It's intent that matters. Where people cross the line, as the more weakminded tend to do, people tend to point it out anyway. I have done here on occasion. Most people are fair and decent though which in the big picture is what matters.

Call me mad, but I do tend to think as real as this is deemed to be, it's something of a red herring. By that I mean that there's a degree of anti antisemitism on both the left and right and that the key difference is that Labour are meant to be 'whiter than white' on these issues, so it stands out more when they aren't. It's become a chink in the armour to keep going in on, and so it gets magnified beyond what it is.

Though that said, Corbyn as an individual, as you say does not have the best record by any means. I did see an unearthed interview with him the other day where he stated that the BBC was biased because it assumed that Israel had the right to exist, rather than giving airtime to other viewpoints. I found it to be a very distasteful way of phrasing it, and I don't think he does himself any favours on this issue.

You would probably get a better idea of Boris in these interviews IF idiots like Andrew Marr kept his mouth shut so the other person can give a proper answer. This morning A Marr did nothing but interrupt which is the usual thing by most BBC interviewers.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

Make it a year next time.
