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?

Big brother ! So what?

I heard on the radio (sometime in the early hours I think) that Mumsnetters think Jeremy Corbyn is sexy. So you are not alone vq.

I have no secrets. I am far too gabby.

I heard the item about MNetters finding Jeremy Corbyn sexy too. I can see the attraction to you Vampire, but do think it would be another Michael Foot episode for the Labour Party, if he was elected.

My guilty secret - I'm addicted to TV Property Porn!

KatyK Mon 10-Aug-15 10:23:02

I sometimes watch Loose Women aargh.....

tanith Mon 10-Aug-15 10:24:37

Neighbours is my guilty secret...........

henetha Mon 10-Aug-15 10:26:59

Personally, I fail to feel any attraction for Jeremy Corbyn, sexually or politically. Each to his own.
I'm addicted to Escape to the Country, especially when Jules Hudson is on. blush

Neighbours , get very cross when it's off air for winter catch up break and a thing for John Humphrys

tanith Mon 10-Aug-15 10:38:24

Me too Anniebach my kids and I used to always watch it together when eating our tea and I just can't break the habit been watching it for many years.. the kids have grown up and had families of their own I guess I find the habit a bit comforting somehow.

Lots of secrets - none of them guilty!!!

Anniebach Mon 10-Aug-15 10:45:08

Tanith, I watched from the start with my teenagers , both are now married , never watch it and I like you am still watching every episode and I enjoy it

durhamjen Mon 10-Aug-15 10:45:31

I think it's quite sad that, apart from vampire, it's all about television.

Bez Mon 10-Aug-15 10:52:11

Well I am addicted the news on Radio 4 especially when I wake in the night - hear all sorts of interesting reports and I love the Music Quiz on Saturday evenings with Paul Gambacini.

Anniebach Mon 10-Aug-15 11:51:13

My passion is genealogy and social history but this is a guilty secret

Ana Mon 10-Aug-15 12:00:18

Why?

Bez Mon 10-Aug-15 12:02:09

I think genealogy is a great thing and no need to keep secret at all. X x

shysal Mon 10-Aug-15 12:03:50

Henetha, I turn off when it is Jules! My favourite is Alistair Appleton.

Tegan Mon 10-Aug-15 12:31:18

Made in Chelsea [it's back on tonight; hurrah!] Does anyone else think Jeremy Corbyn looks a bit like Billy Bragg [who is supporting him]?

Mrso Mon 10-Aug-15 13:25:45

The Archers

durhamjen Mon 10-Aug-15 13:29:05

Never thought about that, Tegan, but you are right; about Billy Bragg, I mean.
