A Hillary Clinton Super PAC is now using Corbyn's victory as an attempt to attack Bernie Sanders. lol I hope this ends up strengthening Bernie. So silly

Maybe if we have more cuts we can get the ice back.

That's ridiculous, the UK is rich enough to afford ice.

If you vote for Sanders, this nation will be RED, with the blood of true Americans as he and Corbyn Communise their way through the Anglophone world while being terroristy terrorists of the Jihadi front.

The Daily Mail reports that Jeremy Corbyn wants an asteroid to destroy Humanity

Well, that escalated quickly.

If this is what they're saying now, how are they going to ramp it up by 2020? "Jeremy Corbyn wants to travel back in time to undo the creation of the universe"?

Was this not confirmed decades ago?

You don't have to sing an anthem to show respect for those who fought and died. He showed plenty of respect and stood in graceful silence during that little bit.

Forcing people to sing an effectively religious anthem would just deepen divisions between the non-religious people and the state. In my opinion the complaining about Corbyn refusing to sing an effectively religious anthem should stop.

Police in Leicestershire were only investigating burglaries in even numbered houses. The pointless level of cuts to public services is ridiculous.

How about

"Corbyn kicks the Queen in the crotch, sacrifices the Corgis to Buddha"

Just wondering - is there a special thread for EU discussion or is it all here?

Some police services are going to stop or may have to stop investigating certain crimes due to the cuts. I'm honestly starting to think that Cameron might actually be worse than Maggie.

When the EU referendum campaign becomes official, we'll likely temporarily need a separate thread, keeping this one for the discussion of other UK political topics. For the time being, discussion of the UK's political and economic relationship with the EU remains comfortably placed here. Discussion of non-UK-specific EU topics can be taken to another thread.

I'm not entirely sure that it's the religious element to which Mr Corbyn objects most strongly. It's more likely the last word of the first, second, third and seventh lines rather than the first word.

I hope we get a rock anthem.

'Won't Get Fooled Again' has the significant advantage of having been written by a UK citizen.

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again

[mighty scream of rage]

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

I think the Daily Mail and their ilk are only harming themselves by crying wolf with those sensationalist claims. If Corbyn's real views are some degrees better than what the Daily Mail claims, he'd still have terrible views.

You'd be surprised how many people end up believing claims printed in the Daily Mail.
