All this mass adulation of someone who couldn't even beat a truly dreadful Prime Minister like May is getting on my nerves a bit. It's a bit worrying that finish 40-odd seats behind the Tories is considered a massive victory these days.

 

I think if Rochdale were away to Chelsea in the FA cup and 5-0 down at half time, but managed to pull it back to 5-4 in the second half they'd get plenty of credit, which is essentially the case with Corbyn.

Woulda been brilliant as a spontaneous thing. Still will be, but the exodus after Jeremy's said his few words is gonna kill the atmos.

Maybe....maybe.....but if the weather is nice and the crowd for the Corbmeister is big then I think a lot of folk will choose to stick around for K-Pez.

Which'll make the RTJ / K-Pez pit double way more difficult than I'd previously anticipated.

This is great, and I have to say I'm very impressed with Michael's comments there which really speak to the true values of the Festival, which run the risk of being slightly eroded through Emily's not-so-conscious stance.

This is what Glastonbury's all about:

Eavis said the issue on which he agrees most with Corbyn is nuclear disarmament. “He really believes in it, like I do. The UK’s nuclear weapons cost an absolute fortune, and make us a target. Why? For four boats? It’s ridiculous; it’s so absurd. Corbyn is on the same page with me on that one. He’s going to fight it out, I think.”

But Eavis also championed Corbyn’s anti-austerity stance. “Social justice and elevating the status of working-class people, that’s all an important exercise. Education, hospitals, social care – these are all huge issues that can’t be swept under the carpet. The Tories have ignored them, and the Labour party as well – the Blairites. It’s all changed now.”

not if you read the 'don't vote tory' thread. Apparently, according to some, he was always losing 5-4 and he gained no extra votes during the campaign. :P

Losing is the new 'taking part' in this meek modern world.

Don't tell me you weren't warned about Corbyn appearing with RTJ

    • I agree but anyone under Rodrigo would be a sub in reality, that day would sell out in under an hour whoever is subbing, in which case Wolf Alice would make a lot of sense   The more unrealistic part of the scenario at this point is Rodrigo headlining   
    • All you can say is...     If he couldn't convince nations that really would've benefitted from the short-term hit of an up-front £50mil payment by this time next year, what hope did he have?   Guess we'll now just have to monitor and see if this could derail Infantino's plans to be re-elected FIFA President next year.
    • Spider-Man: Brand New Day   Highlight was a bloke reacting to the post-credit scene by going "Holy f**k it's Tobey Maguire!" despite the scene having no reference to him at all. Which made my close-to-full screening of the film laugh a lot.   Film was pretty good. It was interesting as much as an exploration of the ramifications of the end of No Way Home and being about isolationism and male loneliness, which I thought it actually did quite well. Though I do ponder if I liked it as much as the other 3 Tom Holland Spider-Man movies. Sadie Sink was good tbf, while I also liked Jon Bernthal as Punisher, enough that I might go watch his Disney+ shows.   Seem to have had a Marvel kick recently having also watched Thunderbolts and Shang-Chi, both of which I thought were pretty good.
    • Wolf Alice won't get headliner for Reading either, they will sub if they play, that is where their level has stopped I feel. Both TFG and Skyvip for the big shows this year was just a stretch too far. Every headliner this year is bigger than them too I'd say.   Agree with Capaldi I don't think Yungblud will be at Reading. I would guess Bludfest 3 or Download.
