Except this time, they've taken the country with them on this journey to madness.
Am I wrong?
And the alternative is ????????????????????????
Steptoe Corbyn with his open door policy (and sitting down for tea and biscuits with terrorists) and allowing MP's to resort to personal attacks re Emma Dent Coad.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11 ... g-theresa/Alongside the maths genius Dianne Abbott and John, I will rip the country apart with mass debt, McDonnell.
Not forgetting the bumbling waste of time West Brom MP Tom Watson.
Any alternative is better, Swampy, (well not UKIP or other right wing nutters).
If you analyse the facts and read around a little, rather than jumping to conclusions you may actually see the bigger picture.
"Sitting down for tea and biscuits with terrorists!" - What's your solution, Swampy. Go in and wipe them out killing millions of innocent people on the way? A bit like Tony Blair and George Bush did in Iraq?
Everything you say about people like Diane Abbott applies to people all over the political spectrum so discussions like that, to me, are irrelevant. You may call me a looney lefty but believe you me, there are plenty of Labour MPs who I do not like at all. Worse, the number of Tory MPs who throw mud around at the Labour benches with unacceptable language and insults (a bit like the way you speak about Corbyn) is as bad if not worse, which kind of negates your point about Labour mud-slinging.
THEY ALL DO IT, mate - and if you don't agree then you are either naive or simply limit your reading to Tory propoganda (well - it did come from the Telegraph after all). If you don't believe me, look at all the cack that was hurled at Corbyn during the last election campaign.
If we stick with the Conservatives, a party in total disarray, led by a PM who has no power or influence over her own party, a lame duck PM if you like, then the country will become split down the middle in terms of the "haves" and "have nots" - you can see it already. BTW - the "have nots" includes both you and I. The NHS will be in an even worse mess, and austerity will destroy all but the most Tory outposts.
Moreover, Brexit will only make it worse.
So my alternative would be anything (within reason) other than the incompetent bunch we have on the government side of the benches at the moment - even if it is Jeremy Corbyn - and believe me, he is not my favourite politician by any stretch of the imagination.
