jabby posted:I feel like this ad would work better if Corbyn was still as incredibly unpopular as he was at the start of the campaign. Now it literally just describes the election, albeit with Corbyn having come down with a bad case of the black-and-whites. I'd just like to ask everyone in the thread for an actual topic as opposed to bargaining our lightbulbs. Why do you think that Corbyn has gone up in peoples estimations over this election campaign? I mean I like the ideas expressed by him and am in favour of most of his policy positions, and I'd like to hope that it's like that for everyone, but what do you guys think?

I thought it might be something like that. Though I was wondering if you asked people where exactly the narrative change comes from would you get a specific answer.jBrereton posted:Because the government has shown in a very blatant way how bad + vacuous it is? This as well seems to be a major thing. It really is surprising how much the current government is shooting itself repeatedly in the foot.

forkboy84 posted:He has a lot to answer for. Every twatty TV journalist/news type wants to be him too. And it's the same on the radio. It's a nation of idiots trying to replicate Paxman interviewing Michael Howard. And it is both boring & utterly useless at conveying information & at holding politicians to account. Because they all get used to it. Except, judging by reactions in this thread, a certain Theresa May. Holy Balls.

thehappyprince posted:let the guardian die and give all of the donations to a new paper that does the investigative journalism without giving idiots like toynbee, kettle and moran 6 figure salaries imo 6 figures. What the blue perfect hell? I could write better hot takes in less time for 6 figures. Give me a job Guardian, I don't know anything but I can look reasonable in a suit!

Blasmeister posted:Rename the thread 'the seductive power of Jeremy Corbyn', tia I now have a terrifying image of Corbyn in the James Bond role. There is an extended sequence where he looks very concernedly at M and talks about how we shouldn't really be destabilizing this country.

Hoops posted:The problem with all of this is that this time next year we'll have Boris as prime minister and Trump in the White House. I'd like to think that the one good cartoonist that the Guardian has, the guy who predicited the Trump would not be able to physically "See" Corbyn, was correct and we could have the sight of Corbyn offering Jam making tips to Donald Trump.

Irony Be My Shield posted:That's probably right. I believe The Guardian has to go to print earlier than other papers, I remember some editorial a while ago talking about how they couldn't get the "one small step for man" quote the day after due to it. Oh come on, they surely can't be using the same system from the time of the moon landings... Oh who am I kidding they probably are.

Oberleutnant posted:Jeremy you've said that people shouldn't be abused based on just doing their jobs, but what if their job is as an IRA bomber, Jeremy? Jeremy why do you hate Britain you traitor? Bloody hell. Can you imagine anyone else in politics doing this? Say what you will about the man but he seems like a Dostoyevsky protagonist at some points!
