Joshuwarr Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Would be good to see AOC. The organisers would be mad to book Corbyn again though. The man is a disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber Soldier Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 She’s fantastic. The more platforms she’s given to speak the better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get carried away, and look at the unrealistic stuff she's said that she's had to backtrack on. It's easy to say 'the world should be a better place'.

Her heart is in the right place, but she's just not very bright. She'll do well at Glasto, though, shouting "fuck Trump/global warming/anyone with a right of centre viewpoint". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Gawd some of the low-post-count droogs on 'ere when politics is discussed. Lads 'koff back to Reddit with the "shes just not very bright" nonsense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I think its about time we stopped placing any faith or hope in politicians. A weird bunch of people and a weird profession to take up. They'll inevitably let us down. Every single time. Shes no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscore Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I can't believe that Glastonbury has started getting into politics. It just interferes with the music and fun. Can't we just have one weekend away where my vile right wing populism goes unchallenged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem right now is that there's lots of politicians offering the hope of the impossible. They might be on the right track with those dreams, but until they can carry enough people with them they're just dreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be on the right track with those dreams, but until they can carry enough people with them they're just dreams. The people are part of the problem. Allowing themselves to get carried away. When Obama was running there were people who thought he was the 2nd coming of Christ. Same thing happened with Trumps supporters. Morons at rallies chanting "build the wall" and "lock her up" and the like. Meanwhile the Roger Stones and Ailes are laughing their arses off at how gullible people are. She seems nice, heart in the right place but I've no idea why a 29 year old from New York whos been in office for a few weeks would speak to a large gathering on the other side of the Atlantic apart from the fact that she represents "the left". Give her a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
