    You claim to be left wing yet you're still parroting out anti-Corbyn pish <doh>

    Who would you want as PM?

    I'd want you as PM Tobes. Free tofu pizza, free housing, free weed, free Ketamine, free IT advice, freedom to drop whatever you are doing and go to Brighton. The country would be safer in your hands. If you stood on that platform you'd absolutely win hands down, not even joking.

    And yes, I do claim to be left wing and I actually bothered to get of my ar*e and voted Labour. I predicted the Turdies would win, they did. I predicted that Labour would not get wiped out which had been predicted when May called the election, they didn't. I predicted that whatever the result Corbyn would insist on staying on, he has.

    Labour had a fantastic election and so much better than I think even they were expecting but whichever upper-class twit the Turdies have as leader, either May, Gove or my hot tip Bojo, they will still be in power until 2022 by which time Corbyn will be 73 and no doubt still hanging on with the "mandate" of the party. By the time the next parliament has squirmed through Brexit I wonder what will be in store?

    Looking at some of the new Labour MP's I am not sure if any of them are leadership material. My money is on Chuka "Boots" Umunna, he's enough of a Bounty to get the party nod once Corbyn shuffles off.

    If we don't leave the wretched EU within two years, I'll pack up and move to Brittany.

    I know you're joking but when I was going in to vote for remain I got talking to a guy I hadn't seen in years. A proper leftie who was trying to convince me to vote leave and get out of this capitalist paradise etc just before telling me he was moving to Galway.

    Beautiful city, Ponders but no. It was the fact he was trying to get me to vote leave yet he was moving to an EU country the following week.

    If you knew him you would blame the drugs.

    I've a funny story about him but no one would want to read it.

    I'll be accused by Toby of Irishing it up but...

    I was in a Sinn Fein Cumann with him when I was 16. A few others and my big brother. The guy mentioned above was always late due to his stoner ways. He was called Rambo due to running about with big knives and crossbows when he was a kid.

    Anyway it was between ceasefires so there was just boring **** to be done and we where working on a piece against the Catholic Church owning so much social housing in Ardoyne and how to get it off them into civic hands etc, usual bullshit.

    He was late again one day so they guy who chaired the Cumann said we should tell him the ceasefire will be broke the following week and we have been asked to set up an active service unit and training in arms and explosives would be forthcoming.

    Rambo rocks up to the meeting half hour late so the Chair told him the story and asked if he was in or out. He sat down and didn't say anything until someone noticed that he had pissed himself :laugh:

    You probably had to be there tbh.
