You have to realise that your influence on us is all pervasive and one cannot escape it.

Show me ONE post in which I use an expletive. Your use of the word 'nincomp**ps' has outraged my entire family; one of my children is inconsolable you brute .

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

Bit of a strange thing to do, appreciate his point on Hillsborough but he needs to appreciate that the Sun has the largest readership in the country.?

If only Burnham worried as much about justice for the victims of the outrageous Stafford Hospital scandal as he apparently does about Hillsborough.

I don't suppose it has anything to do with who was in power at the time all those people were dying unnecessarily...

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

Burnham did do a lot to get the inquiry into Hillsborough to happen at a time when many were quite cynical about the idea of it or the idea that the police and media where wrong so you have to give them that. Also he is from the area and their MP so this isn't really a surprise.

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

Bit presumptuous anyway, who says the Sun would want to interview him anyway if he was leader?

None of that would preclude him from trying just as hard to get to he bottom of, accept some responsibility for and punish those responsible for the a truly shocking disaster many times the scale of Hillsborough. He won't do that however because at the time the NHS was 'safe' in Labour's hands and they'd much prefer it to be forgotten about.

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

It is amusing but I'm a little worried that voters in this country might be stupid enough to swallow his socialist cr*p and actually vote him in as prime minister!

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

Just imagine for a moment just how ridiculous Cooper and Burnham must feel having been defeated by the supposed joker in the pack. Well they would do if they had a shred of humility anyway...

If they're stupid enough to do that then frankly they deserve the chaos which will result.

I have a feeling that Corbyn's going to be exposed once the questions get tougher and his audience becomes larger.

Re: Who will lead the Labour Party?

First impression of him is that he sounds more like a leader than Miliand ever did. But I'm hoping he totally screws up Labour and their chance of getting back into power.
