When the Corbyn-MOMENTUM party are in no 10 things will be so different.

Will we address each other as comrade?

Chewbacca Fri 08-Sept-17 21:42:38

Like this you mean Annie ?
I think it looks a little too macho for Corbyn to carry off with any aplomb. He's too weasely.

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 21:39:03

Yes he does humble so well lemon, he feels people's pain too .

Chewbacca, I really don't fancy a baseball cap, wonder if he will do the Tom Courtney look as in Dr Zhivago . No pink boiler suits? It gets worse

Chewbacca Fri 08-Sept-17 21:02:49

It will mean that we no longer have to agonise over what to wear every morning because we'll all have a standard regulation uniform, coloured according to our status within the party. Corbyn will wear a blue boiler suit because he's obviously going to be an Alpha. The rest of the uniforms will vary to grey, brown or sludge green, depending upon how lowly you are. And we'll all be given peaked baseball caps (because Corbyn is very fond of those) and they will correspond to your designated coloured boiler suits. Here's a selection for you to admire.

All cinemas will henceforth be called The Peoples Picture Palaces, in fact, anything and everything will be prefaced by 'The Peoples' in it's name.
There will be huge billboards with our Comrade Leader's
Face on it, looking powerful yet humble.

Growing turnips will become compulsary.All bourgeois flower gardens will be frowned upon as taking up the space that the peoples peas should be growing in.

There will no unemployment, the fields will need reaping .

No free press, the Beeb will be taken over by the state , perhaps Abbott will become the news reader

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 18:06:18

All complaining emails will be put in the IN tray, otherwise known as the bin.?

TriciaF Fri 08-Sept-17 17:09:21

I'm feeling disappointed with Momentum at this point. I sent them an email this pm (in response to one of theirs) to say PLEASE ask Jeremy to put up a strong response to TM's plan to cut out Parliament.
The email was returned - can't deliver. etc.
hmm

There will be "re-educating" camps so those who don't know the Labour manifesto can be fully indoctinated informed. Anyone with a spare room will have an immigrant lodged with them, they will be expected to feed, clothe and ensure the immigrant receives the correct political education. Anyone with an income more than the average wage will have the excess removed and used to ensure the political elite can be paid the salary and expenses they so richly deserve.

Painting legs with tea!
A roaring trade in black market goods.
New Goosestep classes springing up

I visited Leningrad now St Petersburg in the seventies
Sad people who distrusted everyone,
Looked like they had the world on their shoulders
Long queues everywhere.
What struck me was the irony.
Beautiful buildings with roofs covered in gold.
Communism didn't seem to mind inequality when it came to buildings.

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 16:53:01

We will all have to wear Lenin hats in public.

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 16:51:48

As in the thread title 'Come The Revolution' ?

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 16:50:49

No, bread shortages, as in Russia ( but then I expect you knew that already.)
This is a fun thread ygg not a political moan type of thing.

yggdrasil Fri 08-Sept-17 16:47:30

"bread queues, sobbing in the streets"
If you mean food banks, we have them now

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 16:43:58

As a lifelong pacifist, (Corbyn)there will be no shootings/walls, but some will no doubt be bored to death by many rules and regulations.
There will also be bread queues, sobbing in the streets and
A roaring trade in cobbling, as we will all be walking much more ( looking for bread,)

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 16:35:47

illtellham, i can't do that I am a pacifist, not a Corby type though

Cherrytree59 Fri 08-Sept-17 16:35:37

Well a least we won't have the expense of changing the carpet.wink

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 16:34:15

No flowers in the garden , only sprouts and swede , no entries in the country flower show, unless it's a marrow

illtellhim Fri 08-Sept-17 16:33:36

Anniebach, I shall not join you against that wall, my life is worth more than that, I'll take a few of 'em with me.

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 16:32:07

So it's the floor outside the loo door for me lemon ? sob

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 16:31:43

Also no Capitalist running dogs allowed.All must be on short leashes and muzzled.Bikes on trains will be encouraged though.

lemongrove Fri 08-Sept-17 16:30:05

No anniebach there will be no first class for train travel,all will travel third class.With a few notable exceptions, on Parliamentary business you understand.wink

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 14:05:07

Jane, they are sure they are going to take seats in Scotland.

Anya, I will volunteer to get against the wall.

loopyloo, spot on, but his supporters really believe in this promised land of milk and honey

Anniebach Fri 08-Sept-17 14:01:16

Petra, so frightening . My brother was unsettled by the number of times they were stopped and questioned, they were only there for table tennis coaching, they were checked in and out of their hotel every single day, and my nephew trying to take photographs ? He gave up, they were relieved to get out of the country. My nephew employed three lads ,From those countries as coaches, they loved the freedom here and they long to come back.

loopyloo Fri 08-Sept-17 13:10:14

They will be in Parliament arguing with each other. Corbyn will want to leave the EU so he can introduce left wing socialist policies and lots of people who voted him in will be ignored.
The press will be under strict control and gransnet will only be able to express pro Corbyn sentiments.
The only thing is he might legislate in favour of gardeners and allotment holders.
Dream on.
