Corbyn, while I don't agree with some of what he says, is better than most of the above. Maybe it's time this country had a decent man or woman in charge now instead of the privileged wankers that have ruled since I was a kid. <br /><br />BruceGrumpyScottishManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962457599637993386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-14000278918944468172015-11-24T22:50:33.233+00:002015-11-24T22:50:33.233+00:00Good.

And once we are free from them they can have any kind of politics they want in the country next door. Far be it for us to dictate to them. Or Iraq. Or Syria. Or Zimbabwe. Or any where.<br /><br />It may be Mr Corbyn is a great guy, but the press have it in for him.

His party is ripping itself apart and even allies - ie Ken LIvingston - aren't paying much attention to his direction. Non entities such as Burnham (Mr PFI himself) are simply Tory-lite. <br /><br />It is possible for Labour to have a modern socialist leaning, but they've gone from Blairite to bloody Communist overnight. There is no single message, all we get is a mishmash of information.<br /><br />I liken it to the SNP before Salmond returned as leader. Although not as messed up as Labour is now, there were definitely cracks appearing, and had Alex not joined the contest, I doubt very much if the party would be where it is today.<br /><br />zog<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-46044588325332467142015-11-24T19:21:44.621+00:002015-11-24T19:21:44.621+00:00Yes Brian, I think he should.

This has to be beyond contempt Jeremy, bad enough that your Party remains the party of Abstention, but to be so much of a coward, well how can I put this, I think you have let down the thousands who expected better of you. You say you are against Trident that you would not use it if and I would say that it is a big if that you will ever be in that position. You would rather allow the Tories to win the debate, to spend billions on a piece of useless kit, money which could be used to give people in Britain a better life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934836123529194653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-53287086512784304292015-11-24T17:44:19.084+00:002015-11-24T17:44:19.084+00:00True, and a lot of those "girls and boys"...True, and a lot of those "girls and boys" were Tories, that couldn't get a seat for the real Tories, so went with the red variety.jimnarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231790902689695587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-79701935331093420312015-11-24T17:27:56.058+00:002015-11-24T17:27:56.058+00:00The "purpose" of the Labour party in Sco...The "purpose" of the Labour party in Scotland was to represent the British state which was fine as long as the electorate agreed with that position.<br />Now it is just seen as jobs for the boys and girls who fancy a career in politics.bringitonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10712089398887269381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-81647546364909685252015-11-24T17:23:29.167+00:002015-11-24T17:23:29.167+00:00The members need to have a wee talk to the Scottis...The members need to have a wee talk to the Scottish branch, in relation to the "new kind of politics".
