O/T Conman Corbyn

[Elite_Pie]

I didn't have to Elite - I was taught correct English and a little Latin at the old proper Nottingham Bluecoat school and used the word as defined by 60YearsAPie. As said, I never intimated Corbyn was queer but if I thought he was, I'd have used the word in that context. You can read a person's character to a certain extent by the way they write - did you take 'O' levels by the way or did you leave school at 15. My first intuition is the former.

Funny they taught you that definition all those years ago, when I was at school the word 'mince' meant putting meat in a machine and turning it into very small pieces. I wasn't deemed bright enough for the 'O' level group so I did CSEs at school, quite badly. I think my main achievement on leaving was a cycling proficiency badge.

Anyway my good Sir, we'll be meeting in December (I think the Grimsby game) for me to call in my £20 and it's already arranged to donate this to the Newark Conservative party. You'll have a receipt of proof shortly afterwards! I do what I say .. you know that.

I'll happily hand over my £20 note in December should I lose the bet (I'd say you were favourite to win), but I'll be giving it to you. If you decide the Newark Conservative party are the most deserving charity case then that's your decision entirely. Should I happen to win, the money would go to a children's cancer charity.

Well my friend at least you're honest which I respect. I'm fortunate enough to be able to make private wagers man to man but I don't usually bet on horses (unless the advice comes from a proven source) as I don't have an interest in the sport.

Should I win our wager which I'm confident I will - the idea of donating your money to the Tories (and having a receipt in the donor's name of Elite Pie ) is my idea of a bit of fun against a Labour supporter. Should you win, I'm glad you'll donate it to a cancer charity as I'm involved in raising cash for Cancer Research U.K. from time to time, the last time being last season when my Charity 6 a side cricket tournament (with uncle Col commentating) raised £1600 on the day and plans are afoot for another next year already.

Ah education .......... my apologies here, I wasn't far wrong in assuming you failed 'O' levels, but in my day only the Grammars and Independents sat 'O' & 'A' levels and the CSE's came later which I'd forgotten - so I would hazard a guess you were a Comprehensive pupil sitting these exams where the lesser academic exams were offered to the less bright? Nothing wrong in that as I left school early in order to serve an indentured apprenticeship and had to make way by means of night school and day release.

In the meantime advise Mr Corbyn to have his teeth straightened, learn how to knot his tie and study American Presidents in the art of walking with purpose instead of mincing along based on the Cambridge dictionary definition.

You guessed wrong. To everyone's amazement, not least my own, I managed to pass the 11 plus exam in 1965 so my secondary education took place at the newly opened Annie Holgate Technical Grammar school in Hucknall. The clever kids took O levels, those deemed less bright (me) took the CSE exam. I think I was more lazy than dim, something that I carried into my working life for a few years. Suddenly it dawned on me that if you have to spend a week at work, you might as well get as much cash as possible so I put in a bit more effort and moved up the ranks. I put in the hours and did ok in the end. That's why I laugh at the brainless Soccerman stereotype of all labour voters being workshy benefit scroungers. I have always voted labour, but for 40 years I worked hard and never claimed a penny in benefits, and have cash to spare these days entirely due to my hard work. I have never compromised my left of centre principles even though now I may be a bit better off under a Tory government. If Corbyn does what he says and addresses the inequality in this country I will happily give up a bit of my wealth as long as it goes to the right people.

I agree with your post, but I don't think you're correct about that bit because the Tories are utterly incompetent at managing the economy. I doubt if anyone but the top 1% is actually better off under them. It's not a sacrifice to vote Labour, you would have to be stupid not to. Luckily for them, many people are.

Nice posts, Elite & Bo; sentiments I can agree with. I too am reasonably happy with what I've achieved financially and would probably be worse off under Labour if it chooses to redistribute wealth on a fairer basis. Unlike the Tory tw*ts on here, I vote for the many not the few (i.e. self).
People like Serious would be nothing without the welfare state brought in by Labour. They show their gratitude by slagging off the young who this government has done nothing for because nobody did it like the old gitts did it (in their myopic eyes)

Go away little man of no consequence, your language is slipping again. You would have us believe you're a professional writer - well we'll leave that for this board to debate.

You do talk utter drivel at times Sidney (well most of the time to be honest) but I suppose there will always be the 'No Hopers' and 'Never Will Be's' of this world who will buy into your doctrine of envy.

Why bring in the Welfare State and say certain people would be nothing without it. I can't see you reasoning old chap as everybody as far as I know is entitled to the Welfare State and of course it was brought in by Labour, I'm not criticising that. You are utterly laughable in your small minded views and as you know, I view you and your ilk as nothing more than an insignificant irrelevance.

That I am a professional writer is beyond dispute. In fact I'm about to do my annual tax return based on it. Whether or not what I write has substance is a matter of opinion.
What a sad sour old man you are, pouring out your venom and personally abusing without any substance. So much for your improved manners. You are clearly someone who lives in a manic-depressive state. I have little confidence that when the Mueller report resuts in Trump's impeachment you will cough up £20 for poor Tanzanian children, the charity of my choice.

You see Sid, my comments are said with a little waspish tone, with a hint of sadness & dismay that the Labour movement at this time has very little substance , the only thing It can latch onto is the non-conformist mis-matches that have sprung up in the last few years.

Corbyn was pleading the case for that buffoon Abbott, how she has been insulted & reviled of late, for what it is worth she has probably been going through it all her life......... because she is a fumbling idiot that should be far removed from any kind of debate as to how this Country should elect, and yes she is a Champagne socialist to boot, but a complete fool also.

For someone who is always rattling on about personal abuse you come across and not for the first time as a bit of a hypocrite Sidney.

I hardly think the word 'twit' is very abusive and nor was it applied personally. If you don't like the hat, don't wear it.
