    Theres been a lot of **** written by about corbyn - it mainly goes over my head. Though you would have assumed that he would have preferred an unpopular labour leader, like one who only got 18k votes as then he could have swept up all the disenfranchised supporters

    Agree with all those principles but there's one he has totally ignored. A commitment to take the UK into the euro!! In the long term it makes total sense.

    What are your reasons for wanting us in the euro? I have some myself but my reasons are a little hazy and im not sure since the recession.

    Simply because what goes up will come back down, and I think it is immoral for the banks to charge anything for charging a fee when you want to exchange one currency for another. Furthermore, once we are in the price of our exports will be stabilised. There is an optimum entry point - around £1.18 to make our products competitive.

    Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse...
    Corbyn-Laden talks a lot of bollocks. He has scant respect for democracy & his 'principles' tumble as easily as a house of cards.

    I just like how funny the daily mash articles are - there was one on Jeremy Corbyn being a kind of master of darkness who was going to take over the country in some totalitarian coup. Lol

    In other news this is on the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34320828

    Some great quotes in there like
    "Think about the irony of me being the first person to be prosecuted for things that have happened at Fifa headquarters," he told BBC Sport."

    And
    "They gave me back every single dollar. So if there's anyone in this tale, the police aren't corrupt. They treated me well and had a good sense of humour about it all," he recalled.

    "It was all real - 500 was the best my budget could stretch to. Unfortunately, I don't have the Fifa-style sponsorship from Coca-Cola, which would have been nice."

    Yeah really like Daily Mash. As always you'll find a Wenger one and this ones a funny one.

    'Wenger' becomes a verb

    TO go out shopping and return home empty handed is now described as to ‘Wenger’.

    The Oxford English Dictionary said ‘Wengering’ is a tendency found in stubborn, parsimonious middle aged men who cannot handle the concept of inflation.

    Examples of ‘Wengering’ include: “I went to Marks And Spencer under orders to buy some new socks. But they didn’t have any like the last ones I bought in 1976, so I Wengered, came home and asked my wife to darn old my old pairs instead.”

    Or there is: “My toilet had sprung a leak but the plumber I called was charging £50 an hour. So I Wengered – I had my son try to fix it instead, as part of my youth policy. The toilet flooded the bathroom but the important thing is, I stuck to my philosophy.”

    Or alternatively: “I am a multi-millionaire whose children desperately need new bikes for Christmas. But I went to Halfords only to Wenger when I saw the prices.

    “Imagine the faces of my children when they open their presents on Christmas day, to find their old bikes patched up with sellotape. I will explain to them that now they are mended they are the same as new bikes.

    “In any case, they will be more than adequate for the brief trip we are making to Europe this year.”
