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

    • Looking like will be bringing a 2-3 month old to Glastonbury next year
    • Healey's first budget with be Oct 28th
    • Been going for 10 years. Wasn't massively keen on the lineup beforehand - although as usual after some research I did start to really look forward to it. We had a brilliant time, felt more like old school Latitude, lovely vibe and we met some nice people. We saw loads but highlights for me -   Lime Garden Florence Road Jalen Ngonda David Byrne - Not a fan of him or TH really but we went out of interest and it was one of those festival shows that you'll never forget. The staging was off the scale. Eleni Drake - Up on BBC Introducing, what a haven that stage is.  Westside Cowboy Getdown Services - Probably highlight of the weekend for me. Absolutely brilliant and have booked tix for them in Bristol next year. Everything Everything - They're my favourite band so I loved it when they were added. A great start to Sunday and met loads of their fans up near the front. Alex James Britpop - We enjoyed it and Gary Stringer FFS! David O'Doherty - Saw him twice, brilliant as usual. Self Esteem - Adore Rebecca and the show was as live affirming as always.   Overall, it was such a brilliant weekend. Beforehand we said that we might give it a miss next year but I'm pretty sure that we'll be sucked right back in!
    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
