No but do we focus more on actual issues or overexaggerate a minor rulebreak and which rich dude they choose to dine with?

Of course both are going to hit the news. But the way in which they do are laughable to me.

In the US, the teacher of the year traditionally meets with the president. The last 3 winners (all white folks) have all met with Trump, but this year, a black man won and Trump has refused to meet with him, but he sucks up to Putin and KJU instead.


The problem with little vids like this, is that don't really mean anything and provide evidence of even less. There's probably not a politician alive that couldn't have one of these made about them.

I don't know what you mean, Marshy. We're on a discussion forum. People focus on the strangest stuff. To be honest, the drinking on the train thing, I've only encountered a discussion about it on here. Didn't even see it in the paper, didn't hear about it on telly. But I give you your due, you've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to justify Abbott.

And of course people are going to draw comparisons about who Corbyn will and won't dine with. That he'll sit down with the leader of Communist China, with all its Human Rights abuses, but he won't sit down with Trump.

Imagining people aren't going to discuss that, well, that's laughable.

Well my comment was aimed at the media coverage rather than TiBB discussion.

And also references to the "American people" who by and large wouldn't know who Corbyn is if they fell over him.
