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?

I'd read it - and you would too since you seem to post in them all...

I like negative threads about supporters like Corbyn of mass murders of women and children and opportunistic posers again like Corbyn with unrealistic promises who see themselves as the second coming. What's your excuse?

I probably would read it and post in it, yes. One thread is fine. We don't need 50.

As for. "what's my excuse"; I'm not really sure what exactly you're trying to ask me here? My excuse for what? Being totally honest I think you're so far off the handle at this point with the Corbyn stuff that's there's not a whole lot of point in trying to have a discussion with you about it. I'm not a Corbyn "stan", I do think all of the worship and one-sided lauding of him as "the answer" is way over the top... But your own posts are not any more balanced, they're just as over the top from the opposite perspective.

I actually wish there could be a level-headed discussion thread about Corbyn without someone jumping in within the first two minutes to either praise him as the second coming who will "fix britain" overnight, OR the ludicrous rants and demonisation.

I realised a long time ago that this is no longer the forum for that, though. Two years ago, maybe it was. Not today.

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...

Again,totally valid points.

However look,I think all publicity is good publicity, so if Corbyn haters want to talk about him that's fine by me.
It means they likely see he is heading for greater success.

What they don't do however is balance their seemingly endless energy against Corbyn on justified or unjustified reasoning,with any real criticism of Mrs May or whoever other leader they support.

It actually amuses me that the people raising threads and therefore talking about Corbyn are in the main his band of haters.
He certainly has many rattled it seems.
That's all good in my book.

Again,all publicity is good publicity,from wherever or whoever it comes from.

You wish. It's not about being rattled it's about drawing attention to matters such as how a minimum of Ł10/hr for 16 year olds will only serve to reduce jobs for young people - something not mentioned by Corbyn. Only two reasons for that I can think of, either a lack of 'thinking' on his part or dishonesty and intentionally withholding that information. Which do you believe it is I wonder. As a Corbyn supporter no wonder you don't want people like me posting it on here.

I like to point out and challenge things that I feel people need to be aware of, before and if, we get landed with him as PM. Please tell me exactly what is wrong with that. We are still a free country I believe. PC has not done it's worst - yet.

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

It's an agenda driven article full of supposition but, to be frank, at this point I just have very little interest in discussing these articles you keep spamming because - much like the papers - your own reasons for posting them are always the same and we've heard it all before, so, so many times.

Is it such an effort not to click on the thread? If you don't like the title, then don't bother. We are all free to do either that or post a critique - you usually do the latter which is your choice.

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.

In a nutshell!

Keep up the good work Brillo - I read all your threads with interest. You have the measure of the man.
