I confess...

...I love Jeremy Corbyn. I've tried to fight it. I've tried to listen to my head. The Labour Party won't get elected with him in charge etc. etc. but I can't help it. My heart has won.

When it comes to my union vote I will be voting for Jeremy. I don't want a Labour Party that is a Tory or Liberal clone. I don't want a leader who says to Dave, "I see where you're coming from and if you just tweak it slightly we'll vote with you or at least won't vote against you."

I want a leader that says, "Dave, you're wrong and I will do everything in my power to make sure the people in this country understand that."

They say confession is good for the soul. Have you got a confession to make?

Perhaps you secretly listen to One Direction.
Maybe you watch Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.
Do you think about other things when someone boring is talking to you and just say, "Hmm," "Yes," or, "Really," and hope it's the right answer?

We all have little secrets that we hide. What's yours?

Me neither jings I tell everyone, anything, no secrets, no hidden agenda. It is often my downfall but with me....

Trouble is Gillybob..... That we can't see you!grin

gillybob Mon 10-Aug-15 13:51:06

Well you can virtually see me rosesgrin I'm nowt special to look at anyway

rosesarered Mon 10-Aug-15 13:59:44

I am sure you are just as tall, slim and all round attractive as me Gillybobgrin

I don't have secrets either, for the same reason as Jingle - I talk too much. I didn't even keep quiet about my new bikini, the pictures have got around.

Spartacus! There I've said it!

gillybob Mon 10-Aug-15 14:32:23

Actually I am 5ft 6" and weigh around 10 stone. Its not my height and weight that worry me roses its the fact that I am just plain ugly !

I'm a chocoholic and I don't care smile

petra Mon 10-Aug-15 15:28:28

Jeremy corbyn, Billy Bragg. You never see the two of them in the same room,do you?

vampirequeen Mon 10-Aug-15 16:10:01

Now that's a thought. I've always loved Billy Bragg so maybe it's just that I've subconsciously seen through his disguise grin

rosesarered Mon 10-Aug-15 16:13:32

Don't believe that Gilly, or it's only in your eyes, anyway we can all look like Sophia Loren on here if we like.smile

rosesarered Mon 10-Aug-15 16:15:36

Falconbirdgrin we all have THAT secret.

durhamjen Mon 10-Aug-15 16:22:13

Were they not both at Tolpuddle?

Brahaspatinda Mon 10-Aug-15 16:29:07

No secret, but a bit guilt-inducing at 62: I love Bollywood. The escapism, the costumes, the predictable story lines and the eminently danceable music. That's what I iron to. And paint to. And travel with. But mainly cheer myself up with :0

Brahaspatinda Mon 10-Aug-15 16:37:33

Oh, and while I totally agree with your rationale, [vampirequeen], I don't feel a modicum of guilt or secrecy about voting for Corbyn. Bring debate and anarchy on, say I!!

puppetfut Mon 10-Aug-15 16:41:04

and vampirequeen isn't a shill. ho ho. trying to drum up headlines in the press?

vampirequeen Mon 10-Aug-15 16:49:36

Sorry puppetfut but I don't understand your post. What's a shill and who's drumming up headlines?

durhamjen Mon 10-Aug-15 17:11:32

Might mean that your thread is one of the top five on GN today?
Do not know what a shill is either.

grandMattie Mon 10-Aug-15 17:12:11

Tomas Schaffernacker anyone?

Ana Mon 10-Aug-15 17:22:02

A shill is, apparently:

'an accomplice of a confidence trickster or swindler who poses as a genuine customer to entice or encourage others.'

confused

durhamjen Mon 10-Aug-15 18:10:11

In that case it makes it even less understandable.
We all know vampire isn't one of those.

durhamjen Mon 10-Aug-15 18:11:18

Who's puppetful? What is s/he trying to drum up?

durhamjen Mon 10-Aug-15 18:11:42

Sorry, puppetfut?

inishowen Mon 10-Aug-15 18:37:24

My secret is that I watch tv programmes about hoarders! I don't know what I'm thinking. They are disgusting, especially the American ones. It's a morbid fascination, but I can feel smug that my own home is clean and tidy!

Elegran Mon 10-Aug-15 18:38:24

I can't imagine vampirequeen being a shill and drumming up headlines for anyone. She has been posting on here for years. You are a new name to me, puppet, so you may not be familiar with her username.

Do tell us more about yourself.
