Politics at Glasto

Corbyn's latest nauseating attempt to be seen as 'down with the kids' was the most cringe worthy act at Glastonbury this year.......even taking into account how strong the opposition was!

There appear to be an awful lot of bitter Tories since the election.

Bitter about what ? Don't see anything wrong at all with Corbyn playing to his base .
It would no different to May speaking to the young entrepreneurs guild or summat like that .
Maybe the complainers just want to hear music .
 
Shyster who opposed us retaking the Falklands amongst the rest of his treacherous guff.

Probably chooses his festivals extremely carefully.

I think it was wrong for politics to be one of the main acts.
Corby is obviously appealing to our younger generations to support him. They don't want to pay uni tuition fees ( if they want a uni education) and they feel that job opportunities may be in short supply.
A heaven sent opportunity for him.
Let's wait for Saturday's demo by NSSN orchestrated by the Socialist Worker. Any policies to benefit Great Britain ?
Will McD support the demo ?
Will Mc Cluskey reappear ?....elected by 5.4% of Unite members eligible to vote...one in 20 !
With regard to the Grenfell Tower fire cladding problem....How many councils are/were ruled by Labour and how may Conservative ?
The fully costed Labour manifesto......More borrowing, more deficit ? That's easily costed then ! On the other hand, enough austerity, start to loosen the purse strings

There are so many sides to our nation's problems and the solutions, I think it was wrong to use Glasto as a political platform. Surely it was a musical festival first and foremost.

I mentioned on the other thread the other day that politics (in this case Jeremy Corbyn) shouldn't be used at Glastonbury.

Always thought Corbyn came across as a quiet person, but since he lost the election he seems to have changed.

We now have what was supposed to have been said backstage in the media.

Jeremy Corbyn has said he will be Prime Minister in six months, according to the founder of Glastonbury Festival.

Michael Eavis also said the Labour leader suggested he would scrap Britain's Trident nuclear defence "as soon as I can.".

Oh they're not bitter Stan, it's the new way. They're still celebrating winning the election by keeping politics out of it, they want to keep politics out of everything, that way they become stronger and stabler : )
 
I'm sure he wants to shoot the royal family, disband the armed services and cede the Channel Islands to France but it must hurt to know he is the most popular politician in Britain right now.
 
Keeping the chanting thing going how about .

Outrageous for the BBC to give loser Corbyn so much publicity. An audience with sheep comes to mind.

He's not the author of a grand new plot as it's all been said before and us ones long in the tooth just know how it will all end up. In tears and a bankrupt country.

Surprising how quiet the leader of Unite is at the moment. He won't stay quiet for too long. Not in their nature.

The answer my friends will be blowin' in the wind.

Enjoy it Stan it's been a Long 40 odd years for you politically .
Of course it would have been a lot more impressive if you had been on here supporting Corbyn before the election .

Does anyone really care about the Falklands these days? Gone are the days when you can mindlessly whip up nationalist fervor over some rich bloke's oil reserves on the other side of the world.

I think you may be slightly out of touch.

Do you think if Spain for example waltzed into Gib the electorate would simply roll over like you ? Didnt they vote for UK rule in the Falklands, its called democracy I believe, something you socialists struggle with I know,

One other thing, is Jezzer running the country...I'm pretty damned sure he isnt.

Outrageous? Is it really outrageous Paul? The man is the leader of the opposition and you're saying they shouldn't report if he gets a massively positive reaction at a world famous music festival. Of course it's newsworthy. Did you know that there are nutcases on the other side that accused the BBC of anti-corbyn bias because they underrepresented the size of the crowd and tried to show unflattering camera angles?

Normal people don't think it's a big deal one way or the other.

You're right. I definitely won't be getting my knickers in a twist about the so called sovereignty of tax havens. If they want to be part of the UK they should pay proper tax. If they don't want to do that f*ck em.

 
Yep, Gibralter that well known tax haven ..doh

No more than Guernsey ..I guess it sticks that these places aren't attached to little England

another 20 pages and it may start getting close to the bitter Brexit 'Remainers'.

I love Gibraltar. They voted 96% to 4% to remain.

A slight oxymoron bearing in mind their cannon face towards Spain. Jezzer would give it back in a hearbeat, however the vote wasnt made under a Labour Govt - something you need reminding of consistently stan :hihi:

Nail on the head.


You forgot the braying middle class Henry and Sophies getting away from mater and pater for the weekend wallmth.


I went to the first half dozen or so and finally stopped going because I was hating most of the bands and all of the crowd. :grin:

It lost its charm when Eavis started making a real effort to sort out the toilets.
