Corbyn is the new Labour leader. Fun times and finally something different to the Tories which is good for politics.

Kel Varnsen

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I think Labour will get crushed next election, but we'll see.

Burnwinter

The next election is in 2020. If Corbyn's still leader then he'll have made the job his own.

Coombs

Very exciting times.

Burnwinter

There's going to be an eye-watering onslaught against Corbyn in the press, especially with the UK as a whole looking to get mixed up in another misadventure in the Middle East with this planned bombardment of IS in Syria.

Kel Varnsen

From what I gather, some of his policies are good (in particular on education and energy), some are terrible (foreign policy and immigration) and some are just bonkers (printing money).

Burnwinter

His committed pacifism and readiness to support migrant rights are outstanding characteristics.

To have been a loud advocate against the disastrous war on Iraq is a plus on anyone's CV, let alone a guy who served as a Labour parliamentarian under Blair.

It's going to be great. Let the bile flow. It's always more fun when at least one person isn't complicit by providing an easy-to-counter "difference of opinion". Real opposition in the UK has been missing for too long. Now to get Bernie in the White House...

I'm in Toronto until the end of the year, do you know any pubs that show Arsenal matches here?

Bold Tone

Sorry i'm from Blighty. #hide
My sister is married to a Canadian and i only go there on occasional visits so i am not the guy to ask.
I think Khanuppet is Canadian.
Also Vancouvercanuck and Canuck must be (?).
Failing that ask any random American to pop up north and find out.

"If there is some public pledge from Germany that it will accept and not return Syrian refugees who are registered in some European country, we are ready to open a corridor if there is an agreement between Hungary and Germany," Czech Interior Minister Milan Chovanec said after meeting his Slovak counterpart Robert Kalinak in Prague.

So how long before Merkel panics?

If you guys actually stopped buying the media line and looked at how these "refugees" are actually behaving, maybe you'd half understand Poland and Hungary's stance against allowing them in.

They're a menace. Why aren't they going to the gulf countries that share their ideologies?

flobaba

How are the refugees behaving?

Do you live or travel with them

One of many examples but the mainstream media won't show this sort of stuff.

Burnwinter

Bag-snatching in Europe? Seems refugees are assimilating quickly, learning the local culture.

FFS Pest are you crazy! :gape:
You can't say Islam is incompatible with Western secularism, don't you know what happened to me?

goon

Ah yes, Islam is rife with bag snatchers, one of the core tenants of the religion 😆

goon

It's quite an ironic statement though considering how any Eastern Europeans have benefited from the freedom to move within Europe with similar resistance and facing similar accusations.
