    Ahh, but your criteria for not being a member of Labour was intellectual colossusness. If you are now claiming that you cannot be a member of the labour party and a political genius at the same time then that is an entirely different thing.

    Besides, do political geniuses exist? And if so, are any of them actually in politics? I've seen little evidence. In the UK at least.

    Ay, he may have been smart in his own way, but he was no Mark Francois.

    There are different types of intelligence Rolf and people are better in some areas than others, for example:

    Bit of a 'Pink Floyd' day for you I reckon, given the sense of humour failure? But of course I expected you to do a bit of sniping.

    Just a bit of fun, as you can see given you're not thick and/or devoid of a sense of humour :wink:

    It seems to be mainly down to the differences on the sense of humour front. You need need to get one by the sound of it.

    The laws of Jante:

    You're not to think you are anything special.
    You're not to think you are as good as we are.
    You're not to think you are smarter than we are.
    You're not to imagine yourself better than we are.
    You're not to think you know more than we do.
    You're not to think you are more important than we are.
    You're not to think you are good at anything.
    You're not to laugh at us.
    You're not to think anyone cares about you.
    You're not to think you can teach us anything.

    Guess their forums are pretty boring.

    One can only assume Corbyn is either bluffing or doesn't believe the polls as he is again calling for a General election.

    So, the Conservatives, Lib Dems and UKIP are all changing leader over the next couple of months. Any chance of persuading Jeremy to do the decent thing?

    Can you suggest a successor. In all seriousness as I know little about his colleagues.

    Indeed. Corbyn's cat would be an improvement. At least it could sit on the fence and look comfortable there.

    Certainly would but he would faced with a colossal task compared with which cleaning the Augean stables was light housework.
