At great risk to my credibility as an 'informed' contributor, but to lighten the mood a little, here's an extract from today's DM that made me laugh:

Angela Eagle and Tom Watson could barely keep it together when Dave told him to wear a suit and sing the anthem yesterday. :D

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Almost as good as Ed Balls in "Your name's not down, you're not coming in" EU meeting. :D

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Yes I see Balls is now doing his best to emulate Lembit Opik's dubious media career. :D

The only thing that's worse that the thought that this guy could have been running the UK's economy is the prospect that McDonnell could be. When you look at their key players in recent years you have to wonder where Labour dredges up these idiots - some broken, outdated, PC infested institution which is run with all the efficiency and quality control standards of British Leyland at its worst.

As for Corbyn, he's the political equivalent of a hippy who hasn't grown up and is still wandering around with a head full of nonsense wearing loons and saying 'hey man...'

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Pretty childish of Dave to resort to personal insults ..

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Totally agree.

I thought Mr Corbyn's reply was confusing - "My mother would say "stand up for the principle of a health service, free, at the point of use, for everybody"".

Isn't that what we have?

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

l just wish politicians from all sides would behave more becoming of what Members of Parliament should behave like and not throw childish insults at each other or behave like some sort of football hooligan.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I love the way the usual lefties suspects love to dish out the insults - Bullingdon bully, Eton toffs, Flashman etc. etc. but spit their sad little dummies when they get some back. Given what he's been called by any number of Labour MP's over the years I think Cameron's been restrained in his language. He certainly hasn't resorted to the hateful and grossly offensive language uttered by the Shadow Chancellor and numerous other Labour figures.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Equally as childish as trying to beat Dave over the head with his own mother, and about as relevant to the issue.

Nevertheless, if they can't take it, they shouldn't dish it out.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Cameron and Corbyn needs their head bash together, there are more important things to discuss.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Pressure starting to show Dave, the public don't rate shinny suits and genuflecting at the cenotaph above actually staying behind and meeting the veterans for instance, all in the aftermath of that rather undignified assault on bozo the other day to

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

You think so?

Perhaps you ought to look at the most recent approval ratings. This graphic is from Britain Elects/Yougov polling:

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

Staying behind and meeting the veterans?

I suppose that balances out standing up in honour of the dead IRA terrorists killed by the SAS when they were going to blow up a NI Police Station, then?
Probably the same terrorists who attacked British Army soldiers in Norn Iron.

And here is Mr Corbyn refusing to condemn what the IRA did (with some mealy-mouthed statements about "equivalence".

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 

I don't think Corbyn "dished it out" here. I think that you can and should differentiate between the standards of an idiot backbencher and the standards of the leader of the party.
