him and FF have both stood in the same constituency since '79. He tries to keep a lower profile than Frank cos he loves the grift of being a professional lobbyist.

Excellent work from ignorant Scandophobe Sheerman

he calls himself a "Social Enterpriser". In plain English he's a bought politician. It used to be called sleaze or cash for questions in the 90's

mmm thinking of that wheelbarrow full of whale blubber is making me hungry!

All the flavour's in the blubber iirc

another classic bit of classic Sheermanning was in response to a local football supporters group campaigning for a dedicated safe-standing zone in the stadium was that if ppl stand up they are more likely to shout racial abuse at players - said the racist.

Love this account and the fact he tagged baggymp

As a guy who's owned and played guitar my entire life (I currently own 7, including a beautiful 12 string), this is abhorrent.

His left hand is grabbing the neck like he's about to strangle it rather than caress.

wait, when I played I used to hold the neck like that AFAIK. a bit like (sudden realisation, crosspost with "shockingly old when you learned" thread) I hold a pen too hard and brush my teeth too hard and other things dyspraxic people do, except such words didn't exist when I went to school

maybe that's why I could never play anything more complicated than half-speed Ramones songs

I think he's going more for an arpeggiated open string shoegaze kinda sound.

Mayday @jeremycorbyn there’s still time to save the nation if you show statesmanship.Sacrifice short term ambition to be caretaker PM. Let the people genuinely vote you in AFTERWARDS . Meanwhile #hilarybenn #kenclarke #michealhestletine could presided over cross party cabinet.

As we approach no deal I will enjoy all sorts of random tweets begging Corbyn to step aside.

What I won't enjoy: hunger and death on the streets.

the upcoming general election (& subsequent critical years of british politics) is probably going to be decided by how much effort (and money) regular ppl on the ground put into labour's campaign. a test of whether ppl really give a shit or just want to spectate & kvetch

The clip of guido in the Everybody In The Place documentary was very telling, in that he has been both a cunt and a troll for longer than I realised.

Jemermy Cromybn,,,,, with your refusal to stand aside in favour of obvious unity choice #michealhestletine, you have made it impossible for me to vote Labour

Corbyn refuses to rule out Labour officially remaining neutral in any second referendum on Brexit.

I assume you're all on board with this, barring a (((closet Lib Dem))) poster or two?

pomenitul, Monday, 19 August 2019 10:52 (four years ago) link

It doesn't really mean anything (an entire party taking an 'official' position) so sure.

he was a rave party organiser back in the day. the rest you probably know.

i interviewed him back then, i still have the tape but haven't listened to it since i wrote it up

Er, that's not what that notation means, pom.

And yeah, I'm okay with him refusing to rule out being neutral in the referendum - provided Labour supports remain!

nashwan, Monday, 19 August 2019 11:30 (four years ago) link

Normal!

I would assume the neutral thing is for yr very vocal contingent of 20-30 MPs in Leave seats who don’t want a referendum and who have behind a lot of the pressure against Labour supporting one.

gyac, Monday, 19 August 2019 11:34 (four years ago) link

That could very easily backfire. It cuts both ways, though, I suppose.

I like Bush's use of "cultural halitosis" to describe the tories lack of appeal in the north.

calzino, Monday, 19 August 2019 11:44 (four years ago) link

I'm not sure there'd be any strategic advantage in the labour leadership declaring the official party position to be remain. lots of ppl get it and a lot of the ones that don't that labour cld try to appease are constitutionally suspicious of the left wing of the labour party and no official line will stop them going on abt the dangerous hard left. and a lot of them were complaining corbyn himself was too divisive recently

facebook reminded me the other day of the time i had a bounce on his inflatable stonehenge (2012). didn't think then that it was a political piece but that documentary pointed out the access thing.
