No wonder the NME is struggling

Jeremy stars in his own pop festival. I’ll give it a miss.

This is the town where I live, and I can tell you from personal experience that they are very unsavoury individuals.

Labour to hold 'Jeremy Corbyn festival'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42923433

written by a Katy Dillon - BBC News.

I read that - this Katy Dillon was an E.U Political Officer before becoming Labour’s head of broadcast...working for the party from 2010 until October 2017.....she's now working at the BBC - on their newsdesk at Millbank.

....so I guess she'll get into the gig for free - at least the ticket won't be buyable.

Momentum drive a very hard socialist agenda.

No room for niceties when we need to get the Tories out of office.

Momentum only find room to manoeuvre when a CLP is underperforming and there is a local need to get Labour Party activists on the ground and knocking on doors.

Morecambe falls into this category IMHO.

You will find a CLP with 100 active members hard to compete against 1959-60 and good luck with that!

Maybe but who are you putting in as a result. Putin Mk 2?

My one big concern with Corbyn is that he cannot be guaranteed to have the cojones to defend our realm.

On the one hand we have Boris Fcuking Johnson in the Foreign Office and a complete eejit as Defence Secretary both giving it large, on the other hand we have a pacifist who might just let us get rolled over.

Either way the future is not looking too bright, especially when we have just allowed David Davies to drop his kecks and get dry bummed by the EU.

Our fishing industry has just been regally fcuked by the Nasty Tories. Brexit, what Brexit?

Nice to see Mister Corbyn venturing into Tottenham ---is he trying to disprove something?

I do love the fact that Labour will forever be able to blame the Tories for anything that happens in Brexit because they are following the will of the people who voted to leave the EU. How pleased are Labour that it is not on their watch?

We have a country that has been devoid of leadership for over 30 years and we blunder along under whichever government who are always more concerned about political correctness etc., etc. than doing what is necessary to run the country.

Anyone who has been in management knows that, at times, you have to make very hard decisions which will upset your workforce, however, it that is the way forward, that is what you have to do. If you have looked after your workforce in the past and explain to them why you have to change things, they will appreciate why you have done what you have done and will get on with things.

The defence of the realm will continue to become more difficult because we are unable to recruit people into the armed forces. Not surprising when you look at the way servicemen are being chased by lawyers, police etc., for alleged wrong doing whilst doing their job many years ago. They are even asking people of 55+ years old to come back in because of shortages.

Life will go on ---the blame culture will go on and will get worse, meanwhile, back at Westminster, they will continue to plod on on all sides fo the political divide ---just as long as the salary and the expenses go into the bank and they can still get their 'jollies' to here there and everywhere. Locally those serving on the council will collect their money whilst making token noises about this and that. Remember the days when it was an honour to be elected to serve your local community and you did this voluntarily with a chance to get expenses covered. Nowadays they have to increase the Council Tax so that they can pay the councillors.

Heaven help us!

For once I can agree with my lefty chum, indeed he can't. I can't remember who wrote this, or whom it was about, it wasn't Agent Cob, but it could have been.

a friend of every country but his own'.

Me and the wife were discussing this very topic last night Ashy.

A "trial" collapses because the supposed "evidence of bullying" in Harrogate by Army instructors on recruits was fatally flawed.

We went on to ask how the hell you can be court martialled and imprisoned for shooting a dude dressed in civvies who is intent on killing you with his weapon of choice or an IED?

Unknown to me at the time I once went on a CND march with Corbyn in attendance.

I still think nuclear weapons should be banned but with Russia, the US and North Korea all armed to the teeth and run by nutjobs how in hell can we scrap ours?

I have never known a period in my lifetime that is crying out like it is now for strong political leadership in the UK.

We are dropping our kecks for the EU, we are allowing NATO and the UN to get away with blue murder, we are being bullied by Putin, Trump and the DUP. Suicide now seems harmless!

**** pragmatism, let's order another ten...
