New Statesman says JC Unfit to be PM

Post by spen666 »

In their leader column

...
But the essential judgement that must be made is on Mr Corbyn himself. His reluctance to apologise for the anti-Semitism in Labour and to take a stance on Brexit, the biggest issue facing the country, make him unfit to be prime minister.....

He's now apologised three times.

The New Statesman is a shitrag written by Blairite IMBECILES.

There is no need to ridicule Jeremy Corbyn, he is doing a great job at doing it himself ! Corbyn, Abbott and Thornberry, what a triple act of clowns, still it is the Circus time of the year !

I read a quote yesterday.

"Voting Tory because you don't like Corbyn is like putting dog sh*t on your pizza because you don't like pineapple"

Never tried that dish yet, but pizza and pineapple will be un-affordable if Jeremy gets in and the pound collapses !

Whereas voting for Corbyn is voting for dog sh*t over everything.

Well I never thought I’d see the day when the labour party’s bible refuses to endorse comrade steptoe. Even he’s too far left for them!!

Still not many comments in this thread, I wonder why?

I’d imagine it’s something to do with the fact that there are already about 30 other “I hate Corbyn” threads on this message board.

p.s. this isn’t an endorsement, just an observation.

"JC Unfit to be PM". I haven't been so surprised by a statement since I was told that the Pope is a Catholic.

Yet whenever things get desperate for the Tories they try to put the Russian slur onto Corbyn.

There are also photos online (can't be bothered to spend too much time searching right now) taken at the airport in a pathetic and dishevelled state.

He was the Home Secretary at the time, the man responsible for this nation's security!

Makes me wonder: HOW exactly does the New Statesman evaluate somebody's suitability for the job of PM?

All the links I posted relate to recent reports.

E10EU your approach of avoiding the issue and simply saying BJ isn't fit to be PM is not helping to win over the undecided or floating voter.

It is seen as effectively conferring that the allegation against JC is correct. At least Max in his opening response provides some form of defence and explanation rather than just saying BJ is as far.

The average floating voter is not going to be swayed by the stuff on here, especially from the notoriously hard of thinking types like fRredO, MaxBHolocaust, Tuffers#17 and the rest of the #CorbynBOTS.

Love and Peace.

Despair of the New Statesman. The writers are mostly private-school educated, privileged types. The working class hardly has any media representation these days. The Editor, Jason Cowley, could hardly be more smug if he tried.

That's not what it says though. It says that he is unfit to be Prime Minister, not that he is too left wing. In fact it actually praises the manifesto and economic positioning the party has taken.

They're just laying the groundwork for McDonnel to take over when the they win the election.
