Now I like to give the Guardian a good kicking as much as the next person, but it most media outlets went with similar versions of this story. Even the Beeb.


Corbyn was naive saying anything like that to a room containing many members of the Jewish media community. Of course they were going to take it badly.

Give me a middle class pretend revolutionary over a working class Tory any day of the week - the former is probably misguided trying to do his/her best, the latter is a traitor to their class trying to do his/her best for themselves and devil take the hindmost. Enjoying being a hater isn't really much to be proud of.

Yeah, bloody Atlee and the health service and that, council housing, union rights, all attempts to wreck working class lives. Whereas the right have really done wonders for the working class, which is why we're currently living in such a utopia. Silly person.

Yeahhhh 'vintage' ????' sness is back

Yes- the left have succeeded in destroying any aspirations the working classes may have had by getting rid of grammar schools (public school educated labourite Anthony Crosland) and everything else ???? said.

After all, most middle class lefties are probably from working class stock and have parents that went to grammar schools, but what is the point of being middle class if there is no-one to look down on?

Blair finished off the working class by failing to equip them with a trade, and trying to make them go to uni to do stupid courses- and then he filled the skills gap with east europeans.

So now what would have been the working class is now an underclass on benefits....AND that is what Labour wants- uneducated, dependent on the State...voting for them with the hope of an increase in benefits.....or a better council house.

Atlee's government was packed with working class MPs - Corbyn's inner circle and Momentum is packed with middle class w@nkers

Loz He's offering them a chance to look again at

what's important to them, I admire the fact, regardless of how he's been treated he is prepared

to work together with people who have been herded into a backstabbing mentality. The party is divided and good on him for trying, about time labour was shook up, they've become hard to distinguish fro tories fo a long time now.

Eh? Is that supposed to be funny/ironic? If not, it's pretty offensive.

Considering it involves 80% of the PLP, he has little choice. If he tries to play hard ball, it will almost certainly end in a schism.


And what is important to them is quite obvious - they want to be elected. Unless Corbyn can show he can win a general election, he's got nothing to offer them. They have already decided he is an electoral liability, so I'm not sure what he can say to convince them otherwise.

I don't quite get where this unelectable status

has came from. When you look at most of the puppets, psychopaths, etc. who have been elected,

or the ones who will be standing for pm, I just

can't see why he's that unelectable, other than the labour party moving so far right, its impossible for the majority support. I'm glad he's

refusing to go its showing the labour party for what they are.

Middle class / working class


IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Go on, someone define working class in 2016 for me. And then do middle class in 2016.






Oh, and this

All it's really showing is the sensible majority of the electorate in the middle, are seeing the Labour Party being held hostage by a fringe movement on the far left, supported by a bunch of radicals from various protest movements who obtained membership for three quid so they could scream loudly and get nothing achieved. He is unelectable in the same way Michael Foot was unelectable in the 80's. History repeating itself, can you not see that? He is appealing only to a sizeable chunk of members and no one else. The PLP recognise this, and don't want to be non-effective forever, it's bad for the party, it's bad for the country and it's bad for democracy.

    • Just gone passed Love Dulwich cafe on the bus and there’s a sign outside stating “new Turkish restaurant opening soon” - I know the owners are Turkish but are they converting it already? 
    • I was surprised to learn that East Dulwich Picturehouse now only screens PG-rated films for their baby-friendly showings, unlike other Picturehouse branches. Apparently, this change happened after a complaint to the council about showing films above a PG rating to infants. Afaik, this policy only applies to this  branch. As a local parent, I find this frustrating. It limits our options, especially when many of us would love the chance to watch a wider range of films while caring for our little ones. For example, during Oscar Week, only one vintage film is being shown. Are we really expected to only consume toddler-focused content, like Cocomelon? I also worry about the precedent this sets. If other institutions, like the Tate or the National Portrait Gallery, applied similar restrictions, parents could be left with only child-oriented content. Babies under one don’t fully comprehend adult themes, so shouldn’t there be more flexibility? I’d love to hear what others think—should this policy be reconsidered?
    • I am a secondary teacher in the local area and totally agree that it’s so important for teenagers to be given a space to connect and learn skills. I think it’s lovely that they’ve been able to do this organically due to the carpark being derelict but it defeats the very concept of dynamic urban living to use this as a reason to block the development of the space into something that could benefit the whole community. I would really welcome an entrepreneur bringing a proposal forward that thinks about how we could best make the space work for everyone. I’d also love to see the council engage with the kids themselves on how and where to make the skate park permanent, perhaps in Dulwich Park itself. Give them some funding to make it nicer than a space by such a busy traffic route. I also agree we shouldn’t romanticise the skate park - they’re not principals in the Royal Ballet Company. I don’t think it’s hugely affecting the community, but let’s not pretend there isn’t some underage drinking and drug use going on there. But mainly the building itself is a waste of space and it’s often depressing to see the private security company vans parked out there late at night. Let’s use it as an opportunity to engage in conversations about what this part of Lordship Lane really needs.
