I’d rather watch blood drying on an abattoir wall –
and I’m a vegetarian.
I wonder though, does Corbyn’s eagerness to debate
Brexit on telly with Theresa May mean he’s actually made up his mind which way
the wind blows? Are May’s delusions now so complete she thinks she is Darcey
Bussel? Once again I can be glad I gave up on TV last century.
It’s not exactly the Rumble in the Jungle is it?
More like your local GPs oldest receptionist v that dull guy at the allotment
you keep mistaking for a scarecrow. I listened in fascinated horror this
morning to the radio as Labour supporters were interviewed about Brexit. Yes
they were against May’s deal. No they have no idea what Labour’s position is.
While Trump is having wet dreams about the possibility
of vulnerable migrants being shot on the Mexican border (because that is the
situation he has set up in case you weren’t paying attention), Britain is
shooting itself in both feet.
I assumed even the foolish, blinkered, Blair old guard who put up
a left winger to protect their democratic creds – would see Corbyn’s surprise
election as evidence the rank and file were sick to the stomach of Blairism and
New Labour and not that they were simply gagging for a different white male messiah.
The party glitterati did not understand this and nor does Corbyn.
So, now here we are again – at crisis point(s) –
which I know is the new normal. Our opposition political vegetable just sits
there clogging up the drain while the most electable and capable and
on-the-ball potential leader the Labour party has had in decades is trotted out
for the media bits because she – Emily Thornberry – is actually, clearly
leadership material.
You do have to ask of the party that has struggled
with anti-Semitism, whose leader flirted with jingoism when he supported the
Farage stance on no free movement of people yada yada yada – er, what about the
misogyny? How come Labour remain the only major party – not just in Britain but
in the developed West that seems to be woman-proof even when the most prominent
woman is head and shoulders (and torso and legs) above the current lacklustre
bloke?
I was right about Miliband – hang on to the bloke you’ve got and pretend everything is ok - FAILED.
It will fail again with Corbyn; it will just be too late to matter.
