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?

I step away from the kitchen window and lick my plate sometimes.
I take off my bra in the evening if I'm alone.
I last had sex 25 years ago and don't miss it a bit.

Oh it was an insult.

Sorry puppetfut your insult has backfired. Insults don't really work if the one being insulted doesn't understand the words being used grin

Ana Mon 10-Aug-15 20:04:23

Perhaps he/she thought you were touting for votes for JC, vampirequeen! grin

Jeremy Corbyn
John Connor (Terminator)
Jesus Christ

Saviours of mankind. Sorry to those I've just insulted but I couldn't resist.

Ana Mon 10-Aug-15 21:15:00

Well, I think some view Jeremy Corbyn as the new Messiah, so two out of three ain't bad! grin

Jezza for me all the way. He has my vote and it's no secret. I don't care if people think labour might be unelectable if he's elected leader. I won't vote for a 'personality', an image or a Tory Lite and I wouldn't vote for a leader whose values I don't share wholeheartedly.

My guilty secret. Got the window cleaners to clean inside windows as well as out side took them 10mins + they look brill. Would have taken me hours to get all lttle hand prints off + would still have smears!

My guilty pleasure is a longing to own a Rolls Royce - it'll never happen - I know I should not long for such a gas-guzzling status symbol but I can't help myself, I love them.
The same goes for outstanding wines and hopelessly expensive clothes - I'm only dreaming but I always wake with a guilty conscience.....

I sometimes eat cold baked beans straight from the tin blush

Greyduster Tue 11-Aug-15 09:46:36

Billy Bragg! You just gave me another reason not to like Jeremy Corbyn!

sprite66 Tue 11-Aug-15 09:56:40

Have to admit there are many Corbyn policies I agree with. We do seem to be a very unequal society heading in the wrong direction in so many ways.
Also have a weakness for property programmes especially Kirsty + Phil and Kevin McLoud.

KatyK Tue 11-Aug-15 13:41:58

Jut to add another one - I find Richard Madeley rather attractive shock

Daisychain Tue 11-Aug-15 17:24:46

I knit fair isle socks for my 3 grown up daughters no one knows I do this except you guys
Cheers

kittylester Tue 11-Aug-15 17:39:58

I'm with katyk!

KatyK Tue 11-Aug-15 18:04:40

It seems sort of wrong somehow kitty I find him extremely irritating and all the rest of it, but still.........

Ana Tue 11-Aug-15 18:24:35

I'd keep it a secret forever if I fancied Richard Madeley...grin

nightowl Tue 11-Aug-15 18:25:52

Nooooo not Richard Madeley I can't stand him! I find Jeremy Corbyn a LOT more attractive than Richard Madeley.

And that's my guilty secret blush

rosesarered Tue 11-Aug-15 18:27:56

Some of you have no sense of stylegrin Corbyn? Madeley?

nightowl Tue 11-Aug-15 18:30:00

What's style got to do with raw sex appeal rosesarered? grin

rosesarered Tue 11-Aug-15 18:32:34

Haha ( rolls about laughing ) raw sex appeal? that would be Paul Newman in his heyday.

KatyK Tue 11-Aug-15 18:42:01

I agree with everything you all say re Madeley and also re the lovely Paul Newman but despite (appearing to be) incredibly irritating, 'up himself', smug and all the rest of it, Richard certainly looks good (how shallow am I?) grin Can't agree re Corbyn though.

Anniebach Tue 11-Aug-15 19:51:40

If I fancied Madeley I wouldn't confess under torture ,

rosesarered Tue 11-Aug-15 19:53:50

Madeley does look as if he could be fun though, whereas Corbyn may bore you to death.
