Official Labour leadership thread

[AtW]

We build the subs and the nuclear warheads. The actual missiles are procured from the US. Operationally the system is independent from the US.

Subs yes, warheads - no...

The Prime Minister can fire the missiles at whomever he choose's.

A child can manage sliding down on a slide.

You have clearly not seen enough children sliding down slides.

I saw a child in the park the other day. Completely stuck. Come to think of it his parents did look like lefties.

[tomtomagain]

Subs yes, warheads - no...

Warheads are manufactured at Aldermaston.

Warheads are manufactured at Aldermaston.

Does it have any effect on house prices in that area?

Does it have any effect on house prices in that area?

No. You still cannot afford one.

But the weapons factory was put in "special measures" due to safety concerns. So if you're lucky and there's an accidental discharge you might find the prices come down.

[original PM]

Has anyone read the other thread about Scottish Attitudes...

Lets just expand that to

Socialist Attitudes

it is okay to rob, harras, attach the rich because they have what you do not have.

Ok they may have worked hard since they were 16 to get where they are today while you sat around eating battered haggis and irn bru but why should the hard worker prosper.....


jeezus do we really need to have the conversation on why socialism simply does not work as it does not mean everyone is equally good but everyone is as equal as the lowest common denominator of society.

[d000hg]

Of course. All the rich are rich because they worked hard. All the poor are poor because they are lazy.

What an idiotic thing to suggest. How neatly you fall into right-wing stereotypes in order to assuage any guilt - the poor don't deserve help.

You're exactly the reason we need the government to "rob and harass" the rich in order that the poor are looked after, because prising the money from your selfish, greedy hands is the only way to get it!

But that is my point. He has controversial or extreme views on every subject. He comes across as disagreeing with everything that has happened in the last 30 years.

And the problem with that is you might support his view on tax. But hate his stance on poppies. Or agree with his pacifism but actually like the Queen. Or like his view on Europe but live in Manchester and not warm to his views on the IRA.

He is a big target area.

The white poppy symbolises the fact that he regards all wars and all sides as of equal moral justification. By going to war with Hitler we were effectively losing any moral justification. If you notice everything he supports is anti British and if you were to take his views and actions to their logical conclusion the UK would be overrun by anyone who wanted to overrun us.

This is daily wail/Sun/CMD claptrap

He is anti-war and wants to de-escalate conflicts. In order to do that you have to get your 'enemies' around the negotiating table. It's actually very patriotic to want to de-escalate conflicts and get your country/citizens out of the line of fire. Everyone else seems hell bent on driving us headlong into WW3. How patriotic is that?

No, it really doesn't.

In the mean time:

I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left
