Jeremy Corbyn may see a labour victory at the next election! :o

People like his ideas scrapping tuition fees, re-nationalization of the rails and more taxing of the rich if he wins the leadership contest according to political experts on the radio. They reckon the Tory master plan to get old JC as leader may back fire on the Tories! :huh:

Someone has to claw back the Scottish vote before any future Labour victory could even be contemplated.

Great news for IDS to get all the sick & unemployed under the whip of slavery. And those in work no pay rises and your pensions go to hell even more.

The sea did, from the radio last night the presenter said it could not happen to a better person, well in my view IDS would have been better any how back to Toff Boy Dave. According to the presenter he swam in the sea twice which had sewage over flow in it due to heavy rain and a warning was issued!

Toff Boy must have felt at home in all that sewage to go swimming in twice, clearly couldn't get enough of the stuff. :har:

http://www.theguardian.com/commentis...possible-dream (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/18/jeremy-corbyn-rivals-chase-impossible-dream)

Because Labour’s immediate prospects are so remote, regardless of who wins this contest, the successful candidate is likely to be a caretaker, a curator of the future. His or her task must be to breathe life back into politics, to recharge democracy with choice, to ignite the hope that will make Labour electable again. Only one candidate proposes to do that.

I'm not saying Jeremy Corbyn is the perfect leader but with luck this will wake Labour up big time and stop them acting like a bunch power crazy sons of bitches Blairites and close that chapper in labour's history. Lets hope this kick up the arse is the wake up call, you got nine years to get your house in order so do it or stay in the woods with the libs.

So tell me, when was the last time a Left-Wing Labour Party won an election?

Was Blair Left-Wing?

Who has been the most successful Labour Party leader this century (in terms of elections won)?

Corbyn is almost a carbon copy of Michael Foot and we all know what the electorate thought of him when asked at the ballot box.

Corbyn is Camerons greatest asset just as Foot was to Thatcher.

Well, if Corbyn wins, he'd be better off concentrating on Labour's fortunes in England and Wales. Judging from what's been going on at council by-elections up here, it looks like Labour is being systematically purged from Scotland. Considering that most SLAB Councillors are greedy, corrupt and generally stupid, they're no great loss.:D

Just a pity that the SNP don't have a decent opposition. :down: The ScotGreens are to the left, the ScotLibDems are little more than a rump, SLAB's hopefully on it's way out and the ScotCons are reverting to pure Unionist rhetoric. Unfortunately for the latter, Unionism in Scotland had/has the same basis as that in Northern Ireland - Protestant, sectarian and generally anti-Catholic. The continuing unedifying spectacle in NI is quite rightly putting people off going down that particular road! Only the most bone-headed, bigoted, Ranger's or Heart's fan would welcome the full on Ulsterisation of Scotland!

09-08-15, 01:28 PM

It's a Catch-22 for me, because obviously there are going to be extremists who will try to attack the UK, it's only a matter of time before some nutjob with an AK goes for a stroll down Oxford street or somewhere similar.
Now, how much of this is stopped by our security services is open to interpretation, they tell us that they have stopped plenty but we only have their word for it, and we've seen before that they are sometimes economic with the truth.
The idea of droning Daesh-bags doesn't bother me, it's the least they deserve, but doing this without authorisation from Parliament is another troublesome area. It could have been that it was a time sensitive situation and the window of opportunity to hit these individuals meant that to call back Parliament and debate it would mean that they would get away.
Also, we only have the say of the same secretive agencies that these men were Daesh operatives, and assigning this title after the action is not a particularly comfortable thing for me. It would be only too easy to go down the road of arresting/killing undesirable elements whilst claiming that they had links to Daesh after they are dead.
It's somewhat of a moral maze, in fact I wouldn't be surprised to hear Michael Buerk talking with his guests about it whenever that particular Radio Four show is back on. However, ultimately I think we are going to have to extend our air campaign to Syria in order to support US and coalition operations there. Only with drones though, it would be too risky to send manned fighters into Syrian airspace.
That being said though...I don't think airstrikes alone are going to win this war, and this is our biggest problem fighting Daesh...working out how to end them. :dead:

Looking at this situation from a different point all this is doing is running up our national debt and while the Tories are in power those at the bottom of the ladder will pay the price. The UK is in no position to stand on the world stage playing world police.

Two one party states within the same country, just with different groups in charge.

What is the best way to fix the UK, assuming we want to try and keep it together?

Or should we all go our own separate ways? There have been two polls suggesting a lead for the "YES" camp from, I think, TNS and Ipsos Mori.

Currently, the SNP are on 60% or so for next years Holyrood elections, whilst SLAB is in the 20% region and the SCons are on about 12% or so.

Devolving the abortion law doesn't make that much sense...I fear we might be heading into American territory with different laws for different regions. That could get confusing fast. Shame about the right to die law being rejected, but not entirely surprising. Campaigning will just have to continue and people who can will have to head off to countries that permit it. At least they've softened the laws on prosecuting the relatives of those who do a little, still all a bit daft though.

Nice gaff by Dave. :haha:

And very worrying times in Norn Iron, at least Dave is doing the right thing there, staying back and letting them try to work it out, rather than jumping in and forcing something on them. Still, it's not the first time things have hit a rocky road, I mean you've got centuries of history to deal with here, centuries of violence, they've done bloody well to keep things going this far.

Already there, I'm afraid - abortion law is one of the powers that Stormont has in it's repertoire, though that's due to the special religious circumstances in the Province. Basically, apart from a medical emergency, women from Northern Ireland who want to have an abortion have to come to the mainland. The Channel Islands also have tighter restrictions on the time when an abortion can be carried out, 12 weeks rather than the 24 on the mainland.

Women's Lib is pretty strong within Scottish political circles, the three main parties are led by women, after all, but a number of the SNP's MSP's are devout Christians and are Pro-Life. Although Sturgeon said she had no intention of changing the law, she cannot guarantee that a future Scottish Government (of any party) would not make changes, which is the crux of SLAB's opposition to devolving this particular piece of legislation.:hmmm:

I think Labour needs to split, but, then, I think the Tories have to split as well. Too many competing viewpoints in each party for a harmonious relationship.

Personally, I'll never vote Labour due to the way the way the Scottish branch of the party has behaved in the past (corrupt, greedy, a complete waste of space, etc, etc) but I can see the possibility of the SNP going in to full attack mode to make sure it hangs onto it's new power base in the western central belt. That's if Kezia Dugdale and company can actually work with Corbyn. SLAB's current leadership is fairly Blairite, so I can see a few problems ahead.

That and they're a branch office, not an independent party. Yet.:hmm2:

So, it seems that I am reliable at predicting Labour leaders as the UK poll system is at predicting General Election results.

If someone put a few quid on Corbyn to win this back when he first put his hat in the ring then they'll have cleaned up this morning. :yep:

Sturgeon has spoken (well, tweeted)!

https://twitter.com/NicolaSturgeon/status/642662844425732097

Officially:

We congratulate Jeremy Corbyn on his victory and hope that we can work constructively with him in a progressive alliance against Tory austerity. We also call on him to give an early commitment that Labour MPs will join the SNP in voting against the £100 billion renewal of Trident.
However, the reality today is that at a time when the country needs strong opposition to the Tories, Jeremy Corbyn leads a deeply, and very bitterly, divided party. Indeed, if Labour cannot quickly demonstrate that they have a credible chance of winning the next UK general election, many more people in Scotland are likely to conclude that independence is the only alternative to continued Tory government.
In the meantime, it is clearer than ever that the only credible and united opposition to the Tories, north and south of the border, is the SNP.In other words, Obi-Wan (good nickname that one!:haha:) has about as much chance of winning in 2020 as Nigel Farage saying he thinks the UK should stay in the EU.

MGR1

09-13-15, 09:37 AM

Which is why the SNP are doing so well up here - they're not primarily based in Westminster, but closer to hand in Holyrood. They're also an actual Scottish party, not a branch office of a British one. The Scottish Greens have that same advantage in the eyes of the electorate up here.

Another reason is that SLAB is completely out of ideas, full of second and third rate nonentities and has no "grassroots" organisation left. The last was allowed to atrophy and die off because "they'll always vote Labour, 'cos SNP BAAAAAADDDD!":doh: See what I mean about no idea?

What did the LibDems in in Scotland was their coalition with the Conservatives, for not too dissimilar reasons as in England and Wales.

For both parties, running with the Conservatives in the "Better Together" campaign has proven to be almost fatal as well. If they'd actually run their own, separate, campaigns they might have fared better. Maybe.

As for the Conservatives? They're seen as English, not British, and decidedly anti-Scottish.

UKIP has the same image as the Cons.

Why would Scotland vote for a party that it thinks hates it?

Perhaps it's that Conservatism as it's currently understood in the Home Counties and South East of England doesn't really have a historical precedent in Scotland. From a basic look at political history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Scotland#History) up here, it seems to go thus:

Scottish Liberals,

Scottish Unionists,

Scottish Labour

and now

Scottish National Party.

No Scottish Conservatives in sight until the Scottish Unionists amalgamated with the English and Welsh Conservatives to form the current Conservative and Unionist Party in the late '60's.

I am really getting pissed off at these lame dumb attacks on Jeremy Corbyn by the Tory slugs, latest one has ago at him for not attending the world rugby cup! Why the hell must he? If he wants to do his constituency surgery and meet the voters he represents I say that is a better thing to do than slope off to the world rugby like Toff Boy.

As for his first PMQ's how bloody refreshing to see a new approach by Jeremy Corbyn fielding questions from the public, granted he can't do this every week as He will need to Probe Toff Boy for answers on other matters. That said would be nice if he did it every other week, and for those of you who follow the polls the general public back him on renationalisation of the rails, tax the rich more.

I too am finding it tiresome listening to the attacks. I don't agree with him on a lot of things, defence being one of them. However infrastructure including power, water, and transport should be nationalised (no reason they can't be run efficiently and effectively), or at the least foreign ownership is severely limited if not restricted to a 100% British company (see UK plc). Most other countries do it this way.

Let him have his go. PMQs was brilliant.

Rgr that.

Just back from a pleasant holiday in Lanzarote and I readily admit to purchasing The Sun each morning (Euro 2.50) solely for the entertainment contained within regarding the anti-Corbyn rhetoric....well worth the money.

I voted for Burnham and Watson. I regret the Burnham vote now seeing as he was the only one amongst the other two candidates and five senior shadow cabinet members who failed to step down or distance themselves from Corbyn, instead choosing to serve under a fourth leader (previously Blair, Brown and Miliband). 'Anywhere and anything for a little apple' springs to mind.

The guy (Corbyn) will most likely give the country a lesson never to be surpassed in hypocrisy, a few examples being the fact he has voted against his own party on more than four hundred previous occasions but now expects his elected members to follow his lead on what can best be described as 'questionable policies', the fact he wants the monarchy done away with but will most likely get on bended knee to receive £6.2 million in tax payers money.

Add to the above the fact he refused to sing the national anthem at the BoB service....most disrespectful to those who fought so that individuals like him had the option to do as they wish.

I could go on and on but nothing would change what has happened and I'll finish by saying "Watch the ensuing turmoil in the future as the Trotts start their antics to de-select the moderates that remain.

People will obviously concur that I left the Labour Party but I prefer to state "The Labour Party left me".

Visited the bank this morning to cancel my party membership direct debit to learn there was a bonus I was unaware of....because the September payment was taken from my account yesterday (short of 24 hours) I was entitled to a full refund on that as well :cool:

Cameron allowing the last vote has set a precedent, Jim. It can now be argued that, from now on, Scotland's position within the Union is it's decision alone. Although it isn't legally binding, the concept of American style "Sovereignty of the People" in Scotland is taken as a given. The Cons have said that they won't allow another vote, which is the right of the UK government as it alone holds power over matters concerning the constitution. However, by temporarily devolving the matter to Holyrood to allow the referendum to take place, Cameron and the Cons have set another precedent.

As for who pays for it, the rest of the UK could demand that Scotland pays for it itself, but that wouldn't stop one taking place. The funding would just come from other sources whilst giving the Nationalists (of all parties, not just the SNP) more ammunition.

^Fair comments.

I watched the speech but fell asleep ten minutes from the end. He really didn't have much to say and was overly careful when it came to anything that might upset his paymasters. An example being his admission he was anti-Trident but he did qualify the view by stating that scrapping it must not mean the loss of any jobs/a 100% transfer of skills into other areas (no doubt demanded by McCluskey and co).

What did annoy me was the sight of Burnham and the look of his undying admiration seated in the front row (no doubt he's eaten his little apple and is eagerly awaiting another).

It will consider "how to secure the decisive role of the elected Commons in relation to its primacy on financial matters and secondary legislation".
David Cameron has said the Lords decision to defy the Commons over tax credits raises "constitutional issues".
The review, to be led by former leader of the House of Commons Lord Strathclyde, comes as Tory MPs continue to express anger at the House of Lords' decision to vote to delay cuts to tax credits and to compensate those affected in full.

So the SNP is having a good laugh. :haha:

It's shocking really - a good opposition is vital, or at least an effective one is. Did you see the reaction Kezia got on QT this week.

I would point out, for the non-British amongst us, that booing would show that you at least care enough to object. Total silence is a death sentence, frankly: because if you are watching it makes you embarassed, which is a major crime and the silence means that you can't apologise to the other person.

Sorry.

News for today, Scottish Labour have voted by 70%-30% to make the non renewal of the Trident Nuclear Weapon system official party policy.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-34687735

So we have a pro-nuclear weapon UK Labour Party led by an anti-nuclear weapon leader, whilst Scottish Labour is anti-nuclear weapon party led by a pro-nuclear weapon leader.

Guddle springs to mind.:hmmm:

TBH, Trident and it's renewal wouldn't be such a major issue if it wasn't based in Scotland. What it boils down to, ultimately, is that Glasgow doesn't want those weapons anywhere near it. You could say that what Glasgow wants, Glasgow eventually gets. Most of Scotland's welfare budget is spent in that city and it's surrounding council authorities, btw. England may or may not subsidise Scotland, but we all subsidise Glasgow!:stare:

As far as the UK's Trident nuclear deterrent is concerned, I view it as a necessary evil in an imperfect world. However, I wouldn't object to it being moved from the Clyde and Glasgow's vicinity. Primarily to get Glasgow to stop whinging about it and to see if the area is willing to take the economic hit from it's relocation for the sake of a philosophical position.

Mike.

Pope Francis meets with David Cameron in front of an enormous crowd at Heathrow. The Pope leans toward the Prime Minister and says, "Do you know that, with one little wave of my hand, I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy?"

"I seriously doubt that," responds Cameron.

The Pope continues, "This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they will speak forever of this day and rejoice!"

The PM burst into laughter. "Go on then, show me."

So the Pope backhanded him, the crowd cheered wildly and there was happiness throughout the land!

The next item on the disagreement agenda appears to be tenants' right-to-buy.

Ministers have defended their plans to extend the right-to-buy to housing association tenants as parties clashed over the government's Housing Bill.
Communities Secretary Greg Clark said it would lead to an increase in housing stock and help people "realise the dream" of home ownership.
But Labour predicted a "fire sale" of affordable homes.

Q - How many David Camerons does it take to change a lightbulb?

A - Well, first of all he has to turn off the electricity by pressing the switch. You'd think this first step would be easy, but on the way to the switch he meets Lib Dems who try to convince him not to cut off the power so quickly, an angry rabble of Trade Unionists who threaten to strike if he goes near the light switch, and the BBC who plaster his face with unbiased propaganda about the 'correct' way to respond to light switches. When he finally battles his way through to the light switch he meets an EU representative who tells him he can't turn it off because under EU legislation he must install two new light switches while also paying for Greece's faulty light switch. In the end Dave decides to go home because he realises it is impossible to turn off the light switch due to the way Labour installed the wiring. Put simply, the light switch will stay on forever, blazing up a huge bill, until it explodes. Then we'll all be in the dark.

Protection of the single market for Britain and other non-euro countries
Boosting competitiveness by setting a target for the reduction of the "burden" of red tape
Exempting Britain from "ever-closer union" and bolstering national parliaments
Restricting EU migrants' access to in-work benefits such as tax credits

Eurosceptic Conservative MPs criticised the prime minister's demands during a Commons debate, with backbencher Bernard Jenkin drawing gasps from MPs by asking: "Is that it?"

Gordon bloody Bennett, thats all he's wanting to re-negotiate. :nope: Cameron and those pro EU campaigners can go and get bloody stuffed, me thinks that I'll be voting Out.
