How stupid is Corbyn getting

Thanks stb think I've got it!
I may look at wikiwotsit later (I'll take a paracetamol first in case it makes my head hurt)

This is an interesting essay about the state of the Labour left, from the Guardian on Wednesday.

.....and if there are spelling mistakes in her CV she's guaranteed to get the job.

Standard and Poor operate the Dow Jones index, the US equivalent of the FTSE index. Hope you haven't got any shares, soon.

Well, obviously if she's going for a job with The Guardian, the scruffily-dressed one will get the job because she's not conforming to the sterotypical view of how a woman should dress for an interview.

CDSs - roughly insurance in the financial world. Insurance against loans defaulting.
Best to look at wikipedia.
They were thought to at least contribute to the Lehmans Bank collapse and the financial problems of 2008 -9 and beyond, if not worse.

I think they still exist, but in a better/more transparent way.

Clothes for a job and looks for a job are two different things. If a woman goes for an interview in scruffy clothes, and another woman bothers to go in smart clothes, what do people think?

I think it was that lot over on Mumsnet who started it all off, djen

Anyone else think Jeremy Corbyn is very sexy?(91 Posts)

Shocking!

(ps I prefer him in his white shirt and sports jacket, didn't fancy him at all in that vest )

We complain when women are judged on their looks for jobs. Why are some of us doing the same for men?

I've been thinking the same thing, nottooold.

All this talk about clothes. Who cares what anyone wears so long as it is clean and decent.

Not right soon,if jen thinks something is a good idea it means you are very unlikely to think the same, this is obvious by the posts from you both on the refugees , reading jens posts it is obvious she is deeply concerned for these people , because you have different thoughts and attitudes towards things , doesn't mean you are right and Jen is wrong

I somehow feel that JCs sartorial choice is as much to do with his aim at inclusiveness as much as anything else. Saville Row would only relate to a tiny portion of the population, but woollies etc most people can relate to.

I don't see many men of his age going round with a vest underneath an open shirt so not that 'inclusive', not in my neck of the woods anyway.
As I mentioned previously, there are plenty of nice suits or sports jackets around without going to Savile Row - and a shirt without the vest would look good with a woolly pully when it gets a bit chillier. In fact, I don't mind if he wears the vest all year round as long as it doesn't show

Anyway, I think he heard me because he looked much smarter in recent photos - a nice jacket (M&S?) with a crisp white shirt underneath. Well done Jeremy.

At least I have ideas, soon.

ps what are credit default swaps?

(speaking as someone who cannot even find the password to get into her online isa account)

lol (not at those who lost money, you understand!)

Good, innit!

If durhamjen thinks something is a good idea, it normally alerts me that it isnt.

Standard and Poor thought credit default swaps were a good idea. They have been found to be a very bad one. Very bad.

I love it when a poster comes in all calm and collected, soon, and "squishes" an idea just like that [amused]

The reputation of standard and poor is not good. They misled investors in Australia and lost their appeal.

Here's an interesting article.
Standard and Poor think PQE will create lots of money.

Anya I posted the same link this morning. Don't get too warm and fuzzy

Does that mean you read my link WW

(Warm and fuzzy feeling inside)

How do you suggest the problem of PFI, which was started by Major, continued with New Labour, but opposed by Corbyn then, and is still being used by Osborne, is solved if not by PQE, or do you think it should continue?

Not every council can do what Northumberland did and buy back PFI because the government is cutting council funding.

You criticise Labour PFI, and criticise PQE. What is your solution?

I somehow feel that JCs sartorial choice is as much to do with his aim at inclusiveness as much as anything else. Saville Row would only relate to a tiny portion of the population, but woollies etc most people can relate to.

I am hoping that much of the policy will be developed as a result of consultation etc. Not easy but democratic
