The BBC is Tory? Dunno really how it'll pan out. May could be gone tomorrow but remember that no one expected Corbyn to win. He didn't, but if there is a possibility that he is in a winning position then the media will indeed be on his case. And the only scenario for that to happen is if the Conservatives implode. There may be some blood on the floor but they have Government AND they have shown that they can work WITH a junior partner. I think the next twelve months will be more interesting than the following four years.The media is almost totally Tory. They threw everything at Corbyn and made up stuff when they could.In case by some freak chance the media highlights the supposed failures of the Conservatives and don't cover the facts about Corbyn. The Brits have a lot more faith in their media than the yanks I think; I don't. Mindful would be better placed to say whether I'm right or wrong about that."Hillery Benn in place of Jeremy Corbyn."
You are now a Leftist?![]()
I don't think so, but Corbyn needs to be GONE!! he's a threat to security. Benn is merely an incompetent fool. Quite harmless; unelectable.

I think from a Conservative perspective Jeremy Corbyn is a gift, it's because he's a threat to British National Security that means he'll NEVER be British Prime Minister, Hillary Benn isn't the same sort of threat.
They have a Far Left Marxist-Leninist who's a friend of the IRA, Hamas and Hezbollah, why would you NOT want that gift to be leader of the Opposition.

They are owned by billionaire tax Dodgers so it is to be expected.

Labour's Emily Thornberry: 'I've been a gay icon'

"Labour’s shadow foreign secretary has revealed she believes she is a gay icon.
Frontbencher Emily Thornberry, who is standing for re-election in Islington, said she has a “big lesbian following too” when compared to Ruth Davidson, the openly gay leader of the Scottish Tories.
After the Evening Standard’s election hustings on Tuesday, she told the Londoner’s Diary: “I was told by my brother, who has a large restaurant, that a big group of lesbians were sitting at a big table and they said to him ‘Oh, so you’re gay: is Emily?’”
Ms Thornberry, who has three children and is married to barrister Sir Christopher Nugee, said: “I’ve been a gay icon a number of times, especially when I spun the decks at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.”
She then added that she believed to become a gay icon “you’ve got to be bolshie”.
