Almost as funny as Prescott "dancing" to D-Ream at the victory party in 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeliX Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I like the fact he didn't sing the national anthem even though he knew the "media" slime fest of hypocrisy which would surely and has followed ..Cameron would have sang it whatever his views Would he? Or are you just saying that because you don't like him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The implication is that Corbyn should have sung it irrespective of his views. But had he, they'd have called him a hypocrite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Well presumably he took the Oath of Allegiance so his hypocrisy is not in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It doesn't matter now anyway, the labour party have stated next time corbyn will "join in fully".. he's lost a bit of respect in my eyes but he could regain this by next time going completely the other way and singing it in a Stuart Pearce esque eye bulging kill any foreigner stylee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizo Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I like PMQ's because of the posturing and grand standing. Nothing really is discussed in substance it's all a bit of theatre. So this Trotskyite has his first opportunity to show his worth to his 'adoring' public and what does he do, he reads other people's questions. Has the man who is apparently the second coming not got any views for himself,? Why have they voted this fella in.? It's like when some non entity like the local bobby comes to your school assembly to answer your questions and then asking whats his favourite colour or favourite number....

notwell Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Personally I have found him to be a breath of fresh air in UK politics and have enjoyed listening to his interviews and comments. He's someone I think who would win my vote rather than my apathy in the UK like so many other politicians. However, I do wonder if he will be negative towards the crown dependencies - I've not heard him say anything regarding that or his policies in that area yet. AT - what makes you think it would be bad news for us? A massive attack on tax avoidance. He estimates grabbing £120bn. He'll be staggeringly disappointed then. Just as the current government have been. Certainly in relation to 'tax havens'. Now if he was attacking avoidance on his own doorstep that's a different matter.

ballaughbiker Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Maybe he doesn't sing (y'know like some people don't dance). Oh hang on a mo.... didn't he give a good rendition of The Red Flag? (Sort of answers post #160). I have many sympathies with the party he leads and think he should be given a chance. Not for too long though. Edit: unless he gets his act together very quickly, his party are likely to need even more of my sympathies as he appears to be a bit of a clown so far. His bit on the telly last night when he 'realised' he was going to have to kneel before the queen was absolutely cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he hasn't come up with the figure of £120bn by himself. He doesn't have that many fingers and toes. It's our old friend Dick Murphy who has worked it out. Total cobblers of course. Unless, as Notwell suggests, he's going to scrutinise multinationals' earnings within the UK that are taxed elsewehere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.K. Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 It makes me smile the way the likes of The Sun, The Wail etc are getting ever more shrill and hysterical over what's essentially f-all. It looks to me as though the man has principles. What a refreshing change in today's Westminster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
