    Hi KT53

    The Tory Party and the Parliamentary Labour Party want to get rid of Corbyn.  Read 'The Westminster Cartel' chapter in Owen Jones Book mentioned in my earlier post.  The Labour Party have massive private investment and the Blairite factions are serious careerists with affiliations to corporations.  Corbyn wants to retain public services 'public'.  Most of the rest of Westminster doesn't.  Read Owen Jones' book and read Private Eye.  There are more Westminster MPs who are directors, advisors, working for lobbying groups and private interests than there are those who are only MPs in the old-fashioned understanding of the word.  Cameron didn't buddy-up his cabinet with America corporations just for fun.  You have to ask yourself why cabinet members have to be buddied with Coca Cola etc.  Why does the electorate of the UK need Coca Cola within Westminster?  These are questions you should be asking.  The Labour Party under Blair increased the Westminster Cartel to the point of explosion.  You think they work for you?  Read the book and read Private Eye.  It tells you who everybody works for - and read who the press and media control.  Westminster is the famous 'revolving door'.

    QUESTION watching all those stern faced new young shadow ministers in the commons yesterday it struck me what do they do?? I had this picture in my head of them covered head to foot in a cloak flitting along behind the proper minister (even into his /her bedroom?) or pretending to be a footstool for him/her to put their feet up whilst eating biscuits and drinking tea which we pay for, pencil in mouth writing down every word as they balance with his/ her feet on their backs, cannot spill the tea can we?

    Do they get entry to the office they shadow, are they allowed to see documents, do they get a heads up from the secretive Civil Service or is it all guess work. Most cannot possibly have any experience of the ministry they shadow, they can read Hansard, the papers, their I Pads, Google, after all I am sure the proper ministers google for answers at times or in the case of Ministers on the in out campaign read Grimm's Fairy Tales, I actually think they believe in Santa Claus. Of course reality has hit home they are now putting a great distance between themselves and the promises they made, typical politicians. So I ask WHAT DO THEY DO?????

    Frank.

     "I'm reliably informed," there's a  petition being raised for a referendum, to decide whether the Iceland V England match be re-played.

     Utterly pointless.  A second referendum on the EU might get a different result, but a different result of England v Iceland is way beyond our wildest dreams.

    Err...

    That was just my joke.

    The "I'm reliably informed" within speech marks should have been a clue. It's a "Private Eye" phrase for something which is likely to be a complete lie.

    Like they use "tired and emotional," meaning drunk.

    It was a reference to the pointless petition for  a second referendum on our membership of the EU.

    I don't "do" smilies.

    Hi KT. I am resisting the need to 'Quote' in this response as it has been used so liberally throughout this post of mine that I have lost the plot in trying to fathom out what on earth is being said in the first place image This rain is bringing back memories of last summer when I was praying for my garden just to look dry rather than like a swamp.
