How's his widow holding up?
"'The Jews are wicked' is a statement I wholly disagree with"

"CORBY SAYS JEWS WICKED"

That's the same tactic daft people use to say that Darwin disproved his own theory isn't it.

So, uh, is this the speech that Corbyn gave at the conference? Because it says:

quote:

Our Jewish friends are no more responsible for the actions of Israel or the Netanyahu Government than our Muslim friends are for those of various self-styled Islamic states or organisations.

...which doesn't even seem to necessarily refer to Daesh?

There's nothing that is good for Corbyn. Unless it is stepping down from his leadership. Which is also bad for Corbyn.

I would be shocked if it happened under May, she is very smart and can be a complete bastard - so odds are she will just do the same as Thatcher did to get the rebate, completly gently caress over every bit of business in Europe until she gets her own way. Thanks to the UK's position in the EU it has the power to completely screw the running of the EU, its the major bargaining chip and its the reason why the EU, etc keep saying no negotiations till article 50 as they know the UK can really hurt the EU if it wanted to.

Ultimately Jeremy Corbyn is literally one of the few senior politicians in the UK who represents my views, especially regarding immigration. His stance on that is literally one of the few who haven't yet capitulated to racism, who consistently stands up for migrant rights. I will prop him up regardless, so long as there is no better alternative. Yes, it's stubborn of me, but I'm young and I have literally never seen this in politics before.

Maybe, but she's already been out there saying that Brexit means Brexit, and immigration controls are essential.

I do suspect that she's the only candidate that will get away with not calling a general election though, which makes things a bit less disastrous for Labour right now.

for instance, during the presentation of a report on anti-semitism, it is best to resist the temptation to remind people what you really think of Israel

like, many possible opinions are legitimate

but there are other opportunities. there are no shortages of podiums for the Leader of the Opposition in one of the world's most powerful countries
