Jeremy Corbyn In Manchester Tonight.........

[10ClarionSt]

......in Newton Heath. Just a short distance from here. I won't be going because everyone knows his stance on the Labour leadership thingy, as we do with the others. But if I had the chance to ask a question, it would be this:
How many people in this room are working for MI5? Would that be a silly question?

[SirOracle]

You sure wouldn't get a truthful answer 101ClarionSt.

[Sqad]

Clarion, naive i may be, but why would you ask THAT question?

[whiskeryron]

SirOracle, why have you upgraded 10ClarionSt to 101ClarionSt ?

[mikey4444]

Not quite sure where you are coming from on this Clarion ?

While I wait for you to explain ( please ! ) ......

A much more cogent question would be....how many people are working for the Tory Party, or UKIP for that matter ?

[SirOracle]

Whiskyron..........Because I have an intermittent numerical stutter.

[mikey4444]

Clarion...without a doubt you are right about MI5, but what a pity that they didn't infiltrate the Elm Guest House, Dolphin Square, etc ! now that really would be interesting !

[Sqad]

Clarion....right! But what else is there to know about Corbyn, an extreme left winger who supported Scargil ( who nearly won the miners strike) and who has appealed to the Labour voters as, the other 4 contenders have offered a weak "programme." He will win the leadership, but i doubt very much whether he will lead the Labour party into the next General Election.

But...........he might.

[Sqad]

Clarion...with "more support" Labour would have won the election.

[ichkeria]

Jeremy Corbyn's stance on the leadership issue? He wants to win presumably (!)
But of a silly question about MI5 though. In the unlikely event there were any of them there it's rather unlikely thst anyone would know about it and hence would be unable to tell you

[ichkeria]

That was Kinnock's finest hour. I can still see Hatton the rat scampering out of the auditorium,

[retrocop]

Don't suppose that Corbyn happens to be in Manchester on their pride day is coincidental is it.?

[Sqad]

;-) ^^^^ naaah! Corbyn has quite a history with the ladies.....apparently.

[ichkeria]

Fwiw I think Jeremy Corbyn is worth a dozen Hattons but he'll be a disastrous Labout leader if he wins.
And the reason for that is that he will be unable to command the support of many labour MPs

[DTCwordfan]

It's why he invented the trouser press, sqad, his breeks were always crumpled from his exertions.
