  1. 1. Who do you want to cunt Cameron in the bastard?

    • Liz Kendall - she invented mintcake.
    • Andy Burnham - such sadness in those eyes
    • Yvette Cooper - uses her maiden name because she doesn't want to be called "I've ate balls"
    • Jeremy Corbyn - substitute geography teacher

I don't know how to write this without running the risk of sounding condescending or patronising, but I am genuinely delighted to see so many of you actively engaging with politics. Corbyn ought to be commended for inspiring people, at the very least.

You should try it sometime.

Seems similar to what Ian Birrell was saying in The Independent the other day. "The nostalgic conservatism of the hard left" was his rather catchy line.

 

NB this does not constitute an endorsement of that position

It's bollocks though, isn't it.

 

Social democratic policies are not "hard Left" and hardcore neoLiberalism is not "the centre ground".  

 

These twats live in the Westminster echo chamber and have not even recognised that the country they have walled themselves away from is becoming increasingly sick of them.  They can't cope with the idea that their conception of what politics is and how it works might be deeply unpopular, unattractive and undemocratic.  An Establishment-soaked prick like Farage garnered loads of support just by saying he wasn't one of them.  The Greens gained a lot of traction by looking like an alternative to them.  The SNP sent them homewards to think again.  And now some softly-spoken, non-telegenic beardy bloke is packing the halls and setting social media afire just by (you know where I'm going here) not being like them. 

 

The incestuous Westminster clique is increasingly looking like a desperate bunker and I will laugh my cock off if Jez brings about their Götterdämmerung.
