The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

Being fair to Corbyn, he's one of the few MPs whose majority has increased in the last 2 successive elections. Got to be doing something right when you get an increase even when you're in the governing party & they lose.

I don't see there being a split in Labour. The "Blairites" stayed in the party during the days of Foot & bided their time. There's always been Tories with red rosettes in Labour because they're such a cushy number. Sir Giles Radice was the worst, one of Phony Tony's near neighbours. I laughed at the SDP (yes they still exist!) congratulating Corbyn & telling any prospective MP defectors not to bother but saying they'd welcome any disillusioned Corbynistas when he goes back on his promises!

Very surprised Plaid Cymru were so hostile, but I suppose they see a more leftish Labour being a competitor again.

Very autumny day up here. Weather's fine, but you can feel it getting colder already. My brother seems to have come to terms with becoming a father - already he's talking about "the right schools" before it's even born!

Know what you mean about how ignorant the public are. Top pet hate are those who think because they're reading their mobile phones, everyone else should be paying attention to where they're going!
