Yes I can just imagine what they will try and pull out their arse over the next 5 years against him. So far he looks extremely boring and clean and predictable. He may over fill his recycling bin and not allow his child to attend a private school but that is about it.

I would, for the first time ever, feel proud of my country if P.M. Corbyn's first act was to apologise for the obscenity of the Iraq debacle.
I feel Jeremy would love nothing more than for Tony to go to the Hague to be tried for war crimes. And I have confidence he will want to apologise to Iraq too.
Interesting that he selected Lord Falconer in his shadow ministry. I seem to recall him as having some thing to do with some of the legal advice re the Iraq war. I will need to go and refresh my memory on exactly what that was.

As they say in Parliament after the bars are open:
Here, here.
Blair is guilty of war crimes and Cameron of murder for the extra judicial killing of the two Brits in Syria.
I, too, hope that Corbyn will prove to be a new brush that sweeps away the Blair dross and which savages the Bullingdon Boys (almost certainly after Cameron moves on either Osborne or The Boris will be ushered in to organize future Conservative "trash the place" dinner parties).

As an indication of the less than balanced reporting by the Beeb on Corbyn, witness that all morning said Corporation was saying "there are criticisms" (i.e., the BBC refusing to identify itself) that Jeremy Corbyn hasn't chosen many women for his shadow cabinet.
Now they have had to announce that 50% of the members of the new cabinet are women.
Whoops.

Forgive me. The shadow cabinet now has a majority of women.

You're forgiven. Ours has just one. But we are assured that she was selected on merit. Good to know. We just lost our Minister for Women (and PM) in a party room coup. We are all bereft wondering what will become of the women of Australia. God I wish I lived there now.

He's a pleasant shock to listen to. My first thought after hearing a few of his 'breath of fresh air' speeches was that MI5 and the British Oligarchy will be sharpening their dirty trick/black op 'knives'.::trenchcoatspy::

Yesterday, the BBC was saying with a 1,000-word picture and narrative that he'd been 'shoulder to shoulder' with Gerry Adams (and implied IRA), 'cos there was a pic of him from coincidentally the same time as the BritGovt was also speeking with him/them - sleight-slur there. But then, the BBC's just been dropping the Battle of Britain commemoration in at the end of the news, leading on prince Henry having given-up his seat to a veteran, and illustrating the historic event by showing a '43/'44 pattern Messerschmitt 109 and a US P-47, which I think only arrived in the ETO in '43. I can't imagine Dave Attenborough showing a black bird & calling it a blue bird (or whateverr). It's enough to make a person apoplectic. Grr.
Corbyn's also had some gyp for speeking to other more-or-less unsavouries, but as Obama put it so well, "You don't make peace with your friends"; the general level of debate & mudslinging is pretty poor.
Bernie Sanders (wups, Independant not Republican) apparently is "delighted" with Corbyn's win, which is slightly odd, like a re-run of Bush & Blair - left & right marriage of convenience.
