It's OK, Limeys. Lizzie had things covered if Mags got a little too button-happy during a phone sex session with Reagan.

Yeah I almost forgot you poor fuckers had Ray-gun. I thought we had it bad with the milk snatcher.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

They print that like it's some kind of gotcha or something. Just one more reason to warm to the fella.

That was my impression. Makes him more of a man of the people to me.

Insanely based Corbyn, yet again
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

For all i think he made mistakes and was weak as a leader, the sheer energy that has gone in to destroying Corbyn is truly spectacular. I don't know if you can call it an achievement exactly, but he definitely had them rattled for a while, forced them to really up their game to take him down.

Scooby-Doo style, he unmasked Labour insiders for the institutional liberals they actually are.

Corbyn's biggest failure was not acting quick enough to stop the anti-semitism that had crept into the Labour party. That was a massive error of judgement.

Can't post pics from my phone for some reason but this is where i would insert the backdrop from the ongoing Labour conference this week that folk have been comparing to Ukip from about a decade ago.

I thought the Labour Files doc on Al Jazeera over the weekend made for some very interesting but uncomfortable viewing. I think Corbyn made mistakes for sure, but when he states it was exaggerated for factional issues, it seems hard to disagree. The Gen Sec of the party, hostile to Corbyn, actually stated that himself early on.

Sure Corbyn was in for a rough ride. And just how much anti-semitism had occurred isn't the issue. There should be no anti-semitism period. Jewish Labour supporters were unhappy and he had a chance to act and chose not to which was very disappointing.
