Perhaps now we will have a dichotomous parliament, we will enjoy the by-product of true opposition with a renewed interest in politics, especially among the disillusioned younger voters..even if Corbyn doesn't get anywhere near Number 10, a resurgence in young people becoming interested in changing the Politics of Great Britain can never be a bad thing for our process.
On that, we agree.
I don't think Corbyn actually offers much that will take the key central ground off the Tories which is what decides elections and that they will be wiped out in 2020, but it is good to see an opposition who don't try to copy the Government (which is what Labour did under Millipede)

This thread is absolutely absurd. It seems every idiot and his dog is trying absolutely everything to discredit Corbyn.
The mods should really take this thread down. Nothing but slander.
Shame on you OP>

Yeah, waiting on the Jeremy ate my hamster headlines. buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride for Jeremy and his supporters for the next 5 years.
Now all you Labour supporters know how we Yes for independence supporters feel. The BS endless.
Here's Dennis Skinner today on the very subject of Media spin. The fun starts @ 3:38

‘After that meeting, we never heard another thing,’ Davies recalls. ‘There was no letter. No phone call. I never, ever saw him speak about it.
‘In fact, whenever I saw Jeremy afterwards, sometimes years later at Stop The War marches and events like that, I’d always go up to him and say: “This scandal is still going on, Jeremy.” He’d be very polite, but he never seemed to do anything.’
Indeed, 23 years later, Liz Davies has yet to see Corbyn express what she regards as sufficient anger, or regret, over the Islington abuse scandal, or to publicly criticise the many local politicians, council workers and political allies who allowed it to happen in the first place.
Your inaction in the 1980s and 1990s says a lot, not about your personal character, which I admire, but about your politics which I do not. Your carefully worded excusing of Islington Council in the House of Commons equally demonstrates why it is inappropriate for you to attempt to lead the Labour Party at the critical time of the Goddard Enquiry, as child abuse is the issue that will haunt this Parliament.
Yours Sincerely
John Mann MP
If anyone is trying to wriggle out of anything it's yourself, Try harder, you wouldn't know a decent man if he jumped up and bit your cornish pasty. This thread is more a reflection on you and your mental state then Jeremy corbyn.

Thanks for digging that up. I can't see a date on it. I'm wondering is it from twenty five years ago or just a few months ago? The argument seems to be he did nothing at the time but may be trying to wriggle out of it now.

This thread is a embarassment to decent minded people globaly.

....to me it doesn't make sense that he would both be the centre of such a scandal AND call publically for it to be investigated...
