You are on some sort of mission, JC, and are nowhere near as bright as you think you are. As I've said before, more than anyone else on here, you only see what you want to and can't be reasoned with because you already know it all.
I'm not calling other people characteristically pompous. Only you. Still you have the support of the mighty lfc  |

Personally I don't think a custodial sentence was justified, he will have a criminal record now for the rest of his days and that will affect his employment, application for visas and so on forever which is a tough gig for a prank like that. I think 200 hours community service instead of a prison sentence would have been more appropriate. (Unless he has got previous for assault and battery or suchlike.)

Wish I had an egg for you studyform : )

"nowhere near as bright as you think you are"
The ZERO self awareness zingers from SF just keep flying :) |

By:
only joking study , but at the same time I do think this guy was justified in egging Corbyn
But he shouldn’t have done it because Corbys an old man ...like study |
|
By:
In my humble opinion Corbyn deserves to sent to prison
|
|
By:
Absolutely take your point, SF.
Reading slightly between your lines, surely you are not asserting that JC is traditional labour? For that matter what is traditional labour? I only go as far back as Wilson. To which lab leader would you most closely align him to ? Not that that would indicate anything. Without googling I prob wouldn’t get the order right. But following Wilson ... Callaghan, Foot, Kinnock, Smith, Blair, Brown Must have missed one or two there. Got to be Foot hasn’t it but was he trad lab? From my very vague recollections of the time Callaghan would strike me as trad lab. Maybe it would vary for the individual, I cannot really say. |

At least if there were some manholes in the showers he'd have something to look at to take his mind off .. "things".
|
|
By:
So to simplify it for study, who is easily confused
He was justified in doing it , but he shouldn’t have done it As sure as eggs is eggs |
|
By:
lol the spiv fans brains clearly scrambled

Anx, perhaps you might proffer an answer to what I put to SF?

Racing what i would say is the Labour party is a reformist party at best , they believe in the market economy and have signed up that agenda , but they will if possible reform the system to fund public services and defend the poor and disadvantaged , some socialists join the labour party as vehicle to oppose the Imperialist ruling class so maybe you could include corbyn with that wing of the party who believe in a more radical reform of the Capitalist institutions

Slippy. If you think about it. It could have been a knife as easily as an egg (have you seen the footage?). An attack like this on ANYONE in the public eye has to be dealt with severely, otherwise it would be more commonplace and all manner of loons would try filming themselves for social media.
lfc, thanks for simplifying things. RC - I've been on the phone, not ignoring you. I would agree that perhaps Foot would be the closest to Corbyn. He was similarly pilloried by the press though - calling him a "tramp" and doing much as now, deflecting from actual sensible policy ideas. I don't profess to have all the answers, nor do I claim to be particularly politically minded. I just can't stand unfairness. And I can't stand (from all I've seen, done and witnessed) Conservatives. For the last 20 years or so, Labour have been like the Tories imo. I truly think that the sort of reasons Labour was formed as a party and the sort of things I believe Corbyn wants and stands for (he is above all, a pacifist. As far I can tell), would be better for more of us than anything else that is being offered. As a matter of interest, I have - by chance, a mate who used to work with Corbyn (not so long ago), and I believe what he told me in front of what Murdoch and other bad press barons want us to think. |

By:
That’s all very well anxious , but why did he get an egg broken on his head ?
|
|
By:
Why do streakers run on the pitch at big matches? or why did someone shoot John Lennon? or why do people do anything?
|
|
By:
Nonsense study , I think you know why
so do I , but I just wanted to see if you could be honest , for once Here’s a little clue , respect Brexit |
|
By:
He shouted that at Corbyn
Oh and broke an egg on his head as well Any wiser now study ? |
|
By:
You're talking crap again lfc.
I know WHY he did it, but it doesn't make him (or you) right. |
|
By:
Well done study as long as you think there’s a possibility you might be wrong
That’s progress , And now you know why he did it that’s a start right there |
|
By:
lfc Jeremy is a fair minded guy who wants the best all the country not just the spiv chancers and the tory sheep who are brainwashed
|
|
By:
You see it was Corbyns he broke the egg on and shouted respect Brexit
Imo Corbyn should listen , and so should you |
|
By:
* corbyns head
He is a much more clever guy eggman More clever than Corbyn , the magistrate , and even studyform In my opinion |
|
By:
quite frankly lfc although i voted to leave the current farce is a complete shambles which resembles a monty python sketch
|
|
By:
Too difficult to understand study ?
|
|
By:
tut tut lfc.... you've started the trolling behaviour now.

Chairman may lost all authority with her humiliating farce at the 2017 election

chairman May is a heroine , heroes often fail

SF, Contrary to what here might think I am no Tory.
Politicians I would admire most would probably mostly be labour.... Frank Field, Robin Cook, Clare Short. How anyone can disparage Frank Field is beyond me but he will have been pilloried by JC followers. To me Frank Field is the absolute epitome of trad lab but he feels unable to associate himself with Corbyn. What do you and indeed Anxious think of that particular situation? |
|
By:
Racing a lot of politicians are mavericks , whilst i do not agree with a lot of what frank field says i respect his opinion , the Labour party has always had fabians , social democrats and left wing socialists there is rom for them all , but the enemy is the tories they should always remember this
|
|
By:
Anx, tbf that really doesn’t answer my question.
Yes a broad church as are the tories. Couldn’t quote you chapter and verse on FF’s views but I cannot recall finding him unreasonable. On what in particular are you disagreeing with him about? |
|
By:
i think when became an independent i was shocked , also when he said labour was a racist party and anti semitic which absolute nonsense , and he he also once saod thatcher was a hero , well she was no fookin hero where i come from
|
|
By:
I am sure I won’t change your mind whatever I say, anx.
I respect FF. I’ll have to google him on MT ... seems unlikely to me tbh. |
|
By:
You are quite right, anx (bet you don’t read those words very often on here).
Friends apparently. |

By:
You are quite right, anx (bet you don’t read those words very often on here).

By:
lol racing indeed, at least you listen to opposing views , i note your respect for the likes of tony benn who was a guy who stuck to his opinions for a long time
|

bar his closing tax affairs obviiosly

By:
capt f please stop embarrassing yourself man , falling into the tory lie machine again
|

By:
Think I remember reading that Thatcher admired and got on well with Dennis Skinner ,
Skinner was the opposite of Corbyn , you could trust Skinner |

Even the 1917 russian revolution was led partly by the middle class , does it really matter if he had a few quid
