This anti-Corbyn stuff is really getting to a bizarre level now!  As party leader his whole raison d'etre is to get his party into power thereby becoming Prime Minister at the same time. How come it's OK for every party leader from Robert Walpole to Teresa May to do this, but not Corbyn? 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The general consensus of ordinary people is now that we should just Leave. Or, as I was informed today, that we should "just go".  Lets do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

All he's really interested in is waiting till the Torys fall apart to such an extent that no bugger would vote for them and he'd win by default.

bendix   10 #4025 Posted March 13, 2019 Well, curiously, I know plenty of people living in Europe and everyone of them without exception thinks it's a massive mistake and wants us to stay.  So, nahhh, let's not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jaffa1 Â Â 10 #4028 Posted March 13, 2019 The EU and Tony Blair along with Yvette Cooper and clan are doing the upmost to stop Brexit, Don't let the Remainder elite win, they are all hoping the Brexiteers will tire and give in.

I think most people living in the EU are now fed up with the chaotic antics of the British Establishment elite. They know we are no longer a fit for their bosses club, that we don't belong. They know things can never go back to how they were before the referendum, and most of them think we should "just go". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I agree. I said last month after footage of him channelling Nigel Farage at a meeting in Ireland surfaced, that he could never lead an anti Brexit Labour Party and needed to be replaced.  But those claiming that his aspiration to lead his party into power is somehow illegitimate need to have a think about what democracy is.
