As if most of us weren't aware that the kind of rash promises reeled out at election time wouldn't be problematic. All that naive and premature jubilation.

Do you not have anything better to do than google and post Jeremy Corbyn articles all day?

It is current news and very relevant to all of us. Just because anti-Corbyn opinions don't suit your political views doesn't mean they can't be addressed.

There have been plenty of anti-May threads and posts so, in the interests of fairness, all viewpoints and related news sources should be aired.

Anti-May threads from the past week: 1

And?

One week is nothing! Maybe you should go back further if it bothers you so much.

I'd say Brillo (and a couple of notable others) constantly spamming SD with what is essentially the same thread over, and over, and over again every single day probably bothers a lot of people who use this forum... but that's just a guess. Since the GE 16 days ago - Brillo has stared ELEVEN threads that are explicitly anti-corbyn / anti-labour in the title. Just Brillo. Several other threads that purport to be about other issues in the title... but reveal themselves to be anti-corbyn within a post or two. It's getting ridiculous.

Oh and that's not to mention other people's threads about completely unrelated things where Brillo enters within the first few posts to say "O yeh but WHAT ABOUT CORBYN".

Perhaps there should be an "anti-corbyn stuff" sticky and all of the threads can be merged into that?

Because you claim it's in the name of "balance", yet making a new anti-Corbyn thread every day when there isn't anything near as frequent on the other side is anything but balanced

Considering they all seem to amount to the same thing (you're not a Corbyn fan, we get it), you might as well just have your own Corbyn megathread and have done with it - it'll save on all the times you have to click 'new thread' after all...

Exactly. I thought it was an interesting and fact-based article. Maybe that's why TS has such a problem with it!

Even those who detest Corbyn cannot stop acting out their obsession to try,although not succeeding,in discrediting him.
While they will never admit the failings of the one they give adoring and undying support to,namely Mrs May.

Many Labour people on here,myself included,had and have reservations as to him but even to us,he has done admittedly far better than we believed possible.

I admit I detest Mrs May as a politician,I have never said anything different on here since joining,I didn't like her even before I joined here.

Because I can't stand the woman,I have not and would not make a,good or bad, single thread about her never mind endless multiple ones.
Corbyn now must really be admired or feared now as a political campaigner and leader,as to friend and foe alike.

I don't personally insult his appearance like many Corbyn supporters do to May. Now that is low.

I condem his impractical policies, his history and his unfetered grab on power due to mass hysteria from desperate people jumping on a band-wagon of seeing this man as the second-coming who will cure all their woes. It is sad.

If you know so much you explain why the article is wrong. I bet you can't.

[Smithy]

Personally I just find it sad that someone is so obsessed with hating someone else, why not make pro may threads instead?

I'm not sure anyone has such a vivid imagination that they could make a new pro-May thread every day .

How one-sided is that. I don't see you saying that to all the May haters who are often a lot more personal and vitriolic about her even down to insulting her appearance. Talk about an unbalanced and unfair post.

Because there are no pro may articles to quote... it's all bad news, failings and U turns.

Like TS I'm sick of seeing SD gummed up with nonsense anti Corbyn threads and agree it's basically spamming.

In politics both sides should be heard whether one side likes it or not. Objecting is tantamount to a tantrum.

Several threads on how a political candidate conducts himself is relevant at this time and hurts no-one - as no-one is forced to enter a thread and read the contents.

That is true however the balance is tipping that is obvious.

You literally painted the whole of Glastonbury as drunken stoners for supporting Corbyn, you've suggested people are terrorist sympathisers for not sharing your opinion, you regularly slate the younger generations for being young because they don't typically share your views.

The lack of self awareness is astounding.

Your interpretation my friend. I would say your lack of self- awareness is pretty astounding and I know I wouldn't be the only one.

Nope - but I don't respond to attempted intimidation such as name-calling. Sticks and stones.

One has to ask themselves why some have such a problem with me posting several threads on a politician currently trying to become PM. He is news and his policies and motives are open to scrutiny.

What do you mean nope lol? You read at least 1 article about him a day, instead of ignoring them. Considering being most people don't post every single thing they read, I'm guessing you read a hell of a lot more than one a day. That's bordering on obsession! It's not an insult. We all have topics of interests, Corbyn is clearly yours.
I agree though, you could make a single anti-Corbyn thread and make tibb and yourself less one dimensional looking. Something tells me you want the reaction, and not the debate though.
