Now he's lost a vote of no confidence by a margin of 172 to 40. I'd say your Labour MP's really dont think much of you mate.

Corbyn: 'I will not resign'.

Oh dear.
..The problem with Mr Corbyn, he has the support of the ordinary paid up member ...ie the main membership of the Labour Party.
..The Parliamentary Member, the Labour MP's do not respect him at all.
..But as I say he has the support of the grassroots membership, by a long way.

I'd agree he has the support of his members. Goodness knows what will happen to Labour now though ???

The Lib Dems seem to think they could fight an election ??? http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...arron#comments

And then there is the thought of Ukip gaining votes

He did have huge backing from grassroot members. I don't think he'd have anywhere near so much now though. Whatever, he can't lead a group of MP's if they do not support him. At the end of the day they have to work with him and they are saying they can't. Corbyn can only just fill a shadow cabinet with MP's willing to back him. The honorable thing would be to go (the honorable thing would have been to go yesterday actually). If he really is dead set on staying this will tear Labour to pieces.

Good old Rupert Murdoch. We can thank him for Fox news and The Sun. Apparently the 2nd largest shareholder of the parent company News Corporation is a Saudi Prince.

I agree, how can he lead a group that won't work with him....
......Strange days indeed...

this is from 1971 All in the Family based on the British series Till Death Us Do Part

Nothing has changed , and as I watched the reruns a few weeks ago the only thing different is the internet has given the " Archie Bunker "a way to find each other and band together , and we now have same sex marriage

Thanks, the Santa Claus thing was fun to listen to.

However if someone is interested in hearing an academic point of view on ethnic groups, Santa was white (or of European ethnicity) even if he had dark skin and was greek.

I want to say that because I just found many strange people calling "people of color" every person that isn't literally white; for example even I, with olive skin, would be a "person of color" by this definition, and they get incredibly angry and think you're racist if you tell them otherwise.

In fact pretty much every person who doesn't belong to one of the other major Ethnic groups (Asian, Native American, Oceanian and South-African) is "white", or better of Caucasian/European ethnicity. For example Kim Kardashian is white. But this is just physical anthropology's view.

Hahaha .Yes he goes off the handle at times and very dramatic but some of the stuff about politics is right on the money with the corruptness .Alex is a 42 year old Texan .He's been on the air for 20 plus years next to Rush,Hannity and Matt Drudge and others.Alex is on WWCR Christian Shortwave Radio from Nashville TN and a host of other affiliates..

CBS broke grounds with All in the Family then.Other shows follow.

Wikipedia should dump the Santa page for kids sake.It could ruin their Christmas. I have the Italian olive skin myself and it tans quick in the summer so I can be cross to some Hispanic,Oriental, Native American or Middle Easterner .People have questioned me about where I'm from.I should say to them .I'm from the moon where Alice is and she's my mother.LOL....Its sad to say the racist ,hatred, bigotry has been around forever and is going to go forever like cancer and other diseases.Like I said earlier posts about immigrants .I have nothing against anybody but they got to get background checks and virus checks before they enter legally.

Like i've said before, I got my fill of 'infortainment' type news shows back when Rush Limpbaugh was whinging about America being 'Held Hostage Day No. ___' by Bill Clinton in front of a wall of his flag festooned books. Anyone subjecting themselves knowingly to slanted sources of news will deserve what we get.

Why, it's like Doctors getting their information about drugs they prescribe from the makers of the drugs...

Oops.

Trump is not funny. I neither laugh at America or him or the Farace fellow either. Lets all pray for wisdom for everyone, or at least for the saucer men to drop by and give us the word on a much bigger scene.

Hey, I thought 'the Donald' (as in Duck only with pants on?) was fighting with that Fox news woman anyway? I hope she's not turned into another one of his apologists.
