richard51 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Was horrified when I noticed the headline in the Evening Standard using the words "Comrade Corbyn... bla bla...." on a rare visit to London yesterday. I know the editor is somewhat right wing but that is ridiculous for a paper that supposedly gives news.Then I read this:http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-corbyn-jan-sarkocy-michael-foot-sunday-times-labour-communist-spies-rupert-murdoch-cold-war-a8220206.htmlCan people in the capital see through such bias? Can the concrete jungle of docklands, which is a bit like Singapore without the gambling hotel, really expect to complete building money towers with the spectre of Brexit looming?

woolybanana Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Dont worry, Richard, most of them will be gone if it looks like the commies are likely to take over so those buildings will be empty and can be used for all the homeless plus the new immigrants from the unregulated immigrants. Pity about the falling living standards.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]What, George Osborne right wing?!!The story must be true, because during PMQ's yesterday, Theresa May mentioned that she knows Corbyn likes Czechs, and a Prime Minister would never say anything misleading, nor make a cheap joke.[url]https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/921909/PMQs-live-Theresa-May-Jeremy-Corbyn-Labour-Conservative-Party-Brexit-news[/url]The PM also said that the UK would soon have blue passports again, instead of the colour ordered by the EU.She must have made an innocent mistake, as by now I thought everyone knows that the UK could have chosen any colour for its passports, and that their size and construction (no hard covers allowed) is determined by an international agreement on air travel, and is also nothing to do with the EU.

woolybanana Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yes, Mawby was a spy, by the sound of it. Here is a list of Labour MPs who are more or less likely to have been spies, the top three being pretty certain: Edwards, Stonehouse, Driberg, Floud, Owen, Frolik, Stross, Diamond, Swingler, Macdermot, Hart (?)Tory, Courtney.Various degrees of certainty have been advanced, but it does suggest a propensity amongst Labour MPs to betray.

richard51 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hey - hot news - David Cameron may be a gay spy:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/11772363/KGB-spies-who-tried-to-recruit-David-Cameron-were-just-a-gay-pick-up.htmlCould the headline have been "David Cameron meets KGB spies in compromising situation"Really the blues and Maggie May are slinging mud here and hoping some sticks - very grubby politics.

woolybanana Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Richard, I meant that it was ironic and not sarcastic.As regards the content, who knows what Jeremy did or does; my view is that he would be better running a small NGO, rather than peddling old fashioned marxist ideas appropriate to an underveloped state on an advanced one.The British people do not deserve him or his coterie of fanaticals (sf Thomas Hardy).

YCCMB Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Hey ho. First fundamental error: assuming anyone in the Metrolops actually thinks the Standard is a newspaper. It's just a means of keeping the cleaners on the Underground employed. Travel on the tube anytime after lunch and there are moire discarded copies of the Standard than there are passengers.

Judith Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You used to be able to buy a standard at lunchtime as I remember. Might have changed now the Metro is around, but that in fact it is only a junior version of the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
