Labour leadership contenders

A load of bald men fighting over a comb.

Don't underestimate them.

No, not Labour, the great British public's ability to empty their minds and elect them.

I hope that Diane Abbott wins.

She came to my grandfathers funeral along with some other MPs and after having a chat with here she actually turned out to be okay.

Actually. So do I. Seriously.

(she's quite a hoot on 'This Week')

Wonder if the BBC will send her to the bench for as long as she is a candidate. Guess we'll find out tonight.

Seriously WGAS? Labour are a joke, all be it in very poor taste.

I seriously expect them to implode in a rather spectacular fashion.

Wasn't Alan Johnson the favourite at one time? Has he entered?

I hope that Diane Abbott wins.

I don't. There will be no more Darkie Days in Padstow! She's already tried banning it once - ISTR the police turning up one year with video cameras shooting footage of blacked up locals & submitting it to the CPS so that they could be prosecuted under Labour's hate crimes legislation.

I am just glad that absolute dimwits and lightweights are pushing to be the next leader. I am hoping that either Balls or Abbot somehow manage a coup and win. They will then have no hope whatsover for the next few elections.

Labour in leadership crisis is nothing new. It was expected.

I hope that Diane Abbott wins.

Diane Abbott was on the radio this morning saying how she is going for the job because there should be a women standing. Is that the best reason she has?

How the feck did these goons get into power in the first place?

[Doggy Styles]

They all say they have learned lessons, and list the predictable hogwash like fairness, listening to the people, etc.

But so far, not one of them has mentioned running a proper budget and balancing the books.


As an aside, I've just listened to one of them being interviewed on the radio. I can't remember his name but it wasn't Balls or Milliband. He says he wants more tax for rich people, because they haven't really earned it, like footballers.

"Like Wayne Rooney?" he was asked. "yes."

"What about Richard Branson?"

"Er, er, look, I don't want to get into specifics..."
