A dodged bullet speaks out



One of the worst ever leaders of a major UK political party has been telling us why we dodged a bullet when he was ousted. Yet still he doesn't understand the difference between what works and what doesn't.

Voices: Jeremy Corbyn: We’ve heard a lot about immigration – but we will not end cheap labour by dividing workers

Not really worth reading, but this paragraph raised a smile.

There is no such thing as unskilled labour – only labour that is undervalued, underappreciated and underpaid. Migrants are not commodities to be traded in business interventions. They are human beings to be respected, recognised and rewarded in all walks of life, just like anyone else.

As Labour leader, Corbyn was overvalued, overappreciated and overpaid but still he doesn't get it. He failed and there are always lessons to be learned from failure, but Jeremy has no intention of learning them. In this, he is still in touch with the soul of the Labour party. 

In some ways he's amusing - but millions of voters effectively chose him as the next Prime Minister. To my mind it's still worth reflecting on that.

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair . . .

I'd assumed he was chosen because of what and who he wasn't - a negative effect, rather than understanding or agreeing with his somewhat crazy ideas.
Thankfully the danger of being led by that donkey has gone, but Starmer does not inspire or convince, so all is not well ahead.
Reform or the SDC for me, no more votes for the Uniparty!

Never been sure why I should 'respect' an illegal immigrant getting here via criminal gangs, but if Corbyn says I should, then I know I really mustn't.

Jannie - we do, we do despair. Unfortunately, he never seems to.

Ed - that's it - no more votes for the Uniparty. Wasted votes.

Scrobs - in that way he's an infallible guide, so some credit is due to him.

Ah, Mr Corbyn may I introduce the surgeon who is going to carry out the eensy weensy bit of brain surgery on your bunch of little gray cells.
We are very fortunate that he had his own blade with him when he disembarked on Dover Beach. No He does not know the poem.
In the mean time your anaesthetist is this lady/gentlemen with the sock full of sand.
Education? Qualifications? Come now Mr Corbyn, your 'avin a larf.

Doonhamer - now Mr Corbyn, did anyone ask you about qualifications when you became an MP? It's a case of sauce for the goose I'm afraid Mr Corbyn.
