So what do we think of the new Labour party leader??

We know, we know...............that's why you were issued with the special grade jacket and triple strength pills.

 

They wouldn't work on you, Anthony, Ziggy is down the local Blacksmiths at the moment designing a new jacket and extra chains for you so that you'll look like Marley in Christmas Carol.

 

Now be fair @ARMANDII - £3 in Russia is a lot of money you know; I mean, it would buy you a whole street, and at least ten Lada Nivas

 

Sorry, no handcuffs as you're not allowed any pleasures!

 

Just playing with statistics:-

At the last general election approx. 30 million people turned out to vote (out of about 46m eligible to vote).
Corbyn got a quarter of a million votes the other day.
That was 60% of those that voted.
He's got a long way to go to win a General Election.

"Lies, damn lies and statistics."

 

Is that the Politician in you coming to the surface, Shiney??

 

What's LBC??? Now if you're going to say Leading Britain's Conversation Radio then it's mostly a London focused Radio........so that's a narrow band of focus and that is seemingly where Corbyn is focusing his time and attention. It's also obvious, surely, that in the initial excitement, furore, and palaver that that the majority section of callers is going to be his frenetic supporters. He will have to make the decision to give interviews to other Media and take the brunt of criticism and hard questioning that will happen.

 

You appear to have misunderstood what I said and I thought I was quite clear.
My actual words, as you've quoted them, were:-

"He's alienated most of the media (radio in particular) by refusing to give interviews..."

I was talking about the media, including radio, and it was actually on LBC that the award winning presenter Nick Ferrari said that Corbyn has continually refused to appear on LBC!

I, obviously, listen to LBC (other radio stations are available ) but you seem to have ignored my words for an interpretation of your own. Of course phone ins abound with supporters as well as people that oppose his views.

 

I agree with you, Tam, but some of the Media have political agendas and so will take every opportunity to damage, harass, and pursue any new "celebrity" to make news. One of the most recent instances, to me, is the damage and hurt the Media did to Mo Farah. You couldn't help but notice that during the "Drugs in Sports" frenzy his name was brought up time and time again without specifically implying his involvement and then the Media excusing themselves by saying that there was no evidence of his guilt.........but the repeated mentioning of his name over time was as Mo said "killing" him.
