Jeremy Corbyn for PM!!

The 'Royal' families of Europe do seem to resemble one another.

It does result in a rather limited gene pool.

Ah, it was said in a different context. Phew!

He can't go yet we're having too much fun. 

Here's some even better changing of the guard for you;

Oh My God.  That video is amazing.  I think I'll watch it again.

Meanwhile, our Parliament is apparently now having phone ins for PMQs.  Too right we are having too much fun.

You won the prize with that one, G. Brilliant ceremony. Some prize-winning moustaches there too.

were they influenced by Monty Python or vice versa?

The audiences gather every day, and no wonder. That's real body language.

On the republic thread Puglove mentioned that Corbyn "scares the crap out of me" and G-Unit replied "good".

What actually is good about a politician who scares people?  Is a scary leader one likely to win votes at the election?

Who here can honestly believe that if there was an election tomorrow and Corbyn's Labour Party won that Britain would be a safer, better place in 5 years time?

Safer? You think our 'defence' strategies now have made us safer? We've been bombing Iraq for almost 25 years, and Cameron's one and only idea is: Ok, we know that strategy didn't work, but, hey, let's bomb it some more. And Syria. And Libya.

Do you really think we're safer now than we were 25 years ago?

If you don't feel safe now it's because of the policies of the Major, Blair, Brown and Cameron governments. 25 years of punishing the civilian population with sanctions, bombing, invasion and more bombing. Watch Pilger's films Alfred and educate yourself.

I'm 99.9% certain he wouldn't win right now.  Generally people do not like the unknown and change unless they are in despair and I don't believe there are sufficient numbers in despair right now.  If he is still leader in 2020 his chances of winning will depend on how the shadow cabinet have performed and whether they have credible policy alternatives to the Tories that appeal to the masses.

Over recent times those with jobs, mortgages, properties and other asset backed investments have done very nicely thank you.  This has been largely down to low interest rates and QE on the back of the global financial crisis which were needed to keep the global financial system afloat ie the can has been kicked down the road.  What's next?  Plus Little Britain is just a small cog.

Taking my quote out of context Alfred? Puglove didn't say why Corbyn was scary, unless it was his 'scruffiness and sulkiness' that was scary. It's good because people are taking notice and debating the issues. He's chased the apathy away.

A fairly reasoned report about today's shock horror story about Privy council membership. Interesting comments also;

Could you please answer my question and stop being so damned patronizing.

Funnily enough is seems you have chosen to ignore the key reason for Puglove's fear of Corbyn - here is their post again:

Well, you can certainly rely on the scruffy, sulky Corbyn to send us spiralling into the past.

He scares the crap out of me.

Did you see Corbyn on Newsnight being asked if he would kneel before the Queen?  Claimed he didn't know that this was a requirement of the leader of the opposition (how disingenuous, even I knew about this) and looked extremely shifty and un-forthright.  A bit like a politician in fact!
