Heās a workshy sleekit fuckwit without brains, decency or integrity. But every cloudā¦
The labour party shouldnāt have that tramp about them. Heāll do them no favours.

Why do you dislike Corbyn? He is a friend to republicans.
Itās just an edgy affectation. That boy will be nowhere to be seen when it matters.

For Irish interests, Jezza is the man, a friend to republicans and a committed socialist.
In British football, supporters are obsessed with the idea that a great former player will make a great manager when they retire. That they can drive a team to success as a manager by sheer force of personality and will.
The classic examples of this are former players who were tough tackling āno nonsenseā, all action, āalpha maleā midfielders, eg. Graeme Souness, Bryan Robson, Roy Keane and Steven Gerrard.
The concept that managers should have to think simply doesnāt come into the equation. Thinking will not be needed, apparently, because these are great players and they wonāt have to think, they just are.
Predictably, these former great players turn out to be shit managers, because thinking very definitely is required to be a manager and these former great players are rubbish at it, and are easily outfoxed by former mediocre players who have the ability to think.
The Tory party is trapped in this exact mode of thinking. They want a tough tackling, no nonsense midfielder. They want Churchill.
Boris Johnson just is, they think (and I use the word in its loosest possible sense). He wonāt have to think, heāll be able to lead through sheer force of personality, with no thinking at all involved. This is Brexit in a nutshell.
Boris Johnson as Tory leader will be the managerial career of Roy Keane. A headstrong moron prone to frequent temper tantrums, with no idea what heās doing.
Meanwhile, Corbyn is Big Mick McCarthy - written off, ridiculed, but a man who conducts himself with quiet dignity - he is shrewd - and he is a survivor, a thinker and a winner.

Graeme Souness won 11 major trophies as a manager. Big Mick won none
Heād fuck it all up. Heās spent his life avoiding work and responsibility. Heās the sort of sneaky liability that manoeuvres himself into a role, gets found out and then makes himself easier to promote than dismiss.
Heās the proof that low cunning sometimes defeats high intelligence.
The dup would be delighted with him.

I donāt get that line of thought, he has far more integrity than 99.9% of UK politicians and is a friend of republicans. I donāt get why you hate him so much, youād swear the UK is blessed with capable politicians. Most of the Labour Party are alcoholics or closet Tories, Jezza stands out a mile.
You just have to look in his eyes
Lolz, he has āintegrityā for a select few causes.
Graeme Souness won most of his trophies with a financially doped team in the Scottish League and proceeded to dismantle one of Liverpoolās best ever teams and reduce the club to mediocrity. Weāre still trying to overcome his disastrous legacy 25 years after he left.
Mick McCarthy has won two English Championships and is Eireās greatest ever manager.
Heās been a success in every job heās ever been in.

Youāll forever excuse mediocrity for something that catches your eye.
I wouldnāt excuse you, mate, and your posts donāt catch the eye.
He was a joke figure in Italy too after his disastrous spell with Torino in Serie B.

Nicely self-clamped, mate. 
Corbyn was always an EU sceptic, yet heās going to turn his back on his core beliefs and get a 2nd referendum through the door. All the while Thersea May who is pro EU and is ātryingā her best to get the Brits out keeps making a balls of it.
You couldnāt make that up. Or could you? Or are you so distracted by right and left āviewsā that youāre not able to think rationally.
