A woman is sitting at her deceased husband's funeral. A man leans in to her and asks, "Do you mind if I say a word?".
"No, go right ahead", the woman replies.
The man stands, clears his throat, says "Plethora", and sits back down.
"Thanks", the woman says, "that means a lot",

I’m having that mate, it’s golden.

I guess the Jokes thread is as good as any for this:

I know very little about Corbyn.
However I have a great respect for the man because of who his enemies are.
Every rich Cnut and their cronies have tried to take him down for years.
Can't see any other politician outside the greens who actually want to help the working poor.
Can't really see T May making an effort.
And I do agree with some sentiments you make Kevin.
It's just as Plato said in the republic,
It doesn't matter whether you live in a tyranny, a dictatorship or a liberal democracy. All society's are run by the ruling classes for the ruling classes.
And you claim to have been knighted by the queen for services to the "empire".[emoji848]



I am however in total agreement about Diane Abbott.[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Hang on a bleeding minute! You cannot be serious? Until Corbyn I was Lifelong Labour, but the man is nothing but a contrarian and, like the Greens or LibDems (my new party), just comes up with unfunded ideas. I have no doubt the country would go down the tubes if that IRA apologist got in

If you feel like that then you have probably been voting for the wrong party. Your going to tell me that Tony Blair was a real representation of the party next! 

And if you mean by  IRA apologist (sourced from the Daily Fail no doubt)a dislike for any individual that entered into a dialogue that tried to end a war. Fair enough.

Me neither, but what I do know (or perceive) I don't like

I think I understand your point, but surly that's a flawed (maybe even dangerous) mantra - for example, Corbyn clearly despises Israel, the Iranian (terrorist) theocracy hates Israel, so you must 'like' Iran?  As a method of establishing allies, it has some major flaws!   
Every rich Cnut and their cronies have tried to take him down for years.

I'm not rich (often thought to be bit of a cnut though ?)
Can't see any other politician outside the greens who actually want to help the working poor.

Just shooting off the top of my head - tax free allowance raised under Tories, Minimum / Living wage under Tories, employment levels and interest rates under Tories.  Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't vote Tory as first choice but I'd vote Tory before Labour any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
Can't really see T May making an effort.

See above.
And I do agree with some sentiments you make Kevin.

We've all got much in common.
It's just as Plato said in the republic,
It doesn't matter whether you live in a tyranny, a dictatorship or a liberal democracy. All society's are run by the ruling classes for the ruling classes.

And the trouble with Corbyn (IMHO) is that he will be just like all of the others you mention - he will represent those interests that he is passionate about - it just happens that I can't reconcile to much that he obviously holds so dear, and deep down, I believe  there are a large proportion of what we might think of as 'working poor' that can't either.  Had Labour put Alan Johnson forward at the last leadership round, I think we'd have a Labour government right now.
And you claim to have been knighted by the queen for services to the "empire".emoji848.png

No I don't - but, obviously I should be - for services to the human race!  I'm invested as an Ordinary Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and it was HRH Prince Charles on behalf of HM the Queen.  The choice of 'username' is often something done in haste and regretted at leisure.  In my case, it seems to attract some adverse attention at times which is perhaps a little hypocritical since had I used 'gingerkevinjohnson', kevinthepaki', 'fatboykev', Kevinthewheelchair or any number of other similar combinations, I rather hope posts, comments, replies etc would focus more upon the content rather than the fact I might smell of piss & cabbage, eat curry, waddle, and use a blue badge.     



I am however in total agreement about Diane Abbott.emoji23.pngemoji23.pngemoji23.png

Back to the beginning - if you 'like' Corbyn because of those that dislike him, you must also 'like' those that like him....  If for no other reason that he is so loyal to Dianne Abboot I simply cannot embrace a man that has, and continues to embrace her.  

I'll take the common ground as a positive ??
