The Labour Party. All discussion here please

Of course it's far far worse to remain 'respectfully silent' than to take selfies at Mandellas funeral.

Who is that taking the selfie? I don't recognise her.

Danish prime minister (at the time) Helle-Thorning Schmidt.

She perhaps shouldn't have done that. It was probably a very long day!

Was she going for her "winston Churchill , Maggie thatcher " moment.

I'm sure Mandela himself would have been soooo pleased

[janie48]

the "party" have also said corbyn will in future sing the national anthem at official events. it is all going terribly well for him so far. :hihi:

Well at least that shows he's taking notice of the views of other party members rather than dictating to them.

Though he shouldn't continue to keep changing his mind, that's a woman's prerogative.

Does this mean that all those who supported or excused his lack of singing are out of touch with Labour Party and mainstream thinking.

 

No, it means that different people are entitled to different opinions - we don't all have to think the same

i thought corbyn thought one thing but was told to think again.

A perfectly reasonable thought for you to have, even though it may not bear any relation to reality

 

Maybe he thought the fuss wasn't worth the principle

 

Maybe his "advisors" suggested he think again

 

Maybe other voices in the party are just pouring oil on troubled water

 

However you want to view it, and whatever you might want to believe, he won't sing the National Anthem just because he has been told to do so - he isn't a naughty schoolboy - if he sings it at the next occasion it will be because he thinks he should (for whatever reason) not because someone told him to

[mossdog]

...........you can be sure GB won't grind to a halt because the likes of Rooney and Corbyn don't sing the National anthem!..........probably the Red Flag and some Rap song would make more sense to them!

Never read so much tosh about the national anthem 'incident'. Seriously, people should move on.

 

But let's just imagine that the incident says something about Corbyn or his character. What exactly?

 

I'm struggling. What is the problem?
