Labour is the spaceship in Alien after they press the auto-destruct nuclear button. Corbyn is the Alien.
No. It's worse than that. Half the crew of the ship are androids cheering the Alien on.
I can't see how any sane moral human being can remain a Labour member, in the light of this spectacle.
Labour is truly in the abyss right now. Will take a miracle to drag itself out of it.
Its bad when you see it this close up. Leadership clueless, membership completely unrepresentative of voter base. Heckling a guy trying to condemn anti-semitism. Who would want to vote for this?
I wonder if it will be any better than the reboot of Open All Hours? Cos that was f##king awful.
I very much doubt it. Whilst some of the situations, in terms of human relationships, might still be relevant, the humour behind the scripts were very much of their time. That the BBC are trying to revive series from forty or fifty years ago says rather a lot about the dearth of talent in senior positions in the BBC (and please remember the person who has decided on these remakes probably is paid more than the PM, via a poll tax).

They're reshooting episodes of which no recordings survive, from the original scripts. I actually think it's a great idea. As you say, the humour was of it's time, and it will be interesting to see how it relates to modern genres.

I want to see a reboot of 'I didn't know you cared".
Aaron Banks described described Vote Leave’s Dominic Cummings and Matthew Elliot as “two of the nastiest individuals I have ever had the misfortune to meet”, and that he “wouldn’t put them in charge of the local sweet shop”.
(It's a little depressing that he's no longer considered relevant as part of a broader collection - not a comment on him particularly, but a more general observation )
Whilst I hold no brief for Banks he is spot about Matthew Elliot, a truly odious individual - and I do not say that simply because he wa Vote.Leave's CEO.
Does Owen Smilth genuinely think the answer to the Brexit vote is more EU? Is the man a complete feckwit?
Brexit had nothing to do with the EU you dimwit. It's about the number of 'darkies' coming into this country.
Owen Smith is right...
That was the sole motive of each of those 17,410,742 voters, was it?
I am staggered. How did you learn this?
Of course not but it was the key driver is 'Leave' winning. You need to get out more...
It genuinely wasn't for all of the people I know who noted leave. Admittedly, immigration was an issue for some, but it wasn't the "darkies", as you so elegantly put it that were the key issue. Obviously, in your fuckwitted mind, anyone who wasn't keen on the EU is a racist little Englander. That says far more about you than me.
So, Labour intend to offer the UK a choice between a bewildered geography teacher and the world's angriest double-glazing salesman.
Attlee. Bevan. Gaitskell. Sorry lads.
It's unbelieveable how low they've gone. This would be cringeworthy as a debate between the two prospective mayors of Walsall.
OK, but where are Labour in the Polls? The last I saw was 28%, down just 1(ish) from the last GE. Lots of reasons why perhaps (like most people pay feck all attention to politics outside a small window just before a vote), but surely no reason to write Corbyn off just yet.
This is awful. Smith is heroic for standing up to the mob.
Corbyn is the unity candidate, the sort of unity you get when MPs, long standing members and the wider electorate decide that they've had enough of putting up with this sort of intolerant crap and walk away. There is going to be a split if and when Corbyn wins, no doubt about it.
Comments
Trotting out the pay gap myth yet again. And then promising to appoint women because they are women - not because they are capable.
And there is no way you have enforce equal numbers of men and women in parliament. It just isn't possible (or, given their chosen methods, desirable)
Smith is just a windbag, Corbyn is a bore. Labour have got exactly what they deserve.
Luton North CLP nominates Corbyn
Aberdeenshire West CLP nominates Smith
I am staggered. How did you learn this?
Will it happen? No, because not one of the 170 MPs has a backbone sadly.
Corbyn is just a disaster. He makes IDS look like a colossus.
Attlee. Bevan. Gaitskell. Sorry lads.
Labour closer to 20% or 30% ??
Just asking ....
