Re: Ed Miliband
 

Well, I had to laugh, and laugh, and laugh. So much so that my other half and Acrylic-Biff, the terrier with attitude, thought that I had gone strange and were on the point of phoning the funny farm to send a couple of blokes in white coats to...well you know how it goes. Anyway, the point of my unbridled mirth was an article which headed this afternoon's version of the Telegraph online...

Ed Miliband: I am not handicapped by my appearance - Telegraph

In which 'Wallace' Millipede insists that his appearance is not a handicap!

Some of the comments appended to the story are so bitingly funny I could not help laughing out loud. Thinking of Graham -I'm in love with Ed -Jones' gushing tribute just made it even funnier.

Try this for a sample...

OK, the film industry wants to do a film about a young left-wing politician who reaches the very top - PM, global figure, etc. etc.
So they're looking for an actor - someone who'll wow the cinema audiences .... do they choose anybody who looks and sounds remotely like Milliband?

or this..

"I am not handicapped by my appearance"

No... you are and also by that voice and your lack of charisma and having no credible policies and no decent politicians sitting next to you. You are also handicapped by being the leader of a discredited party more destructive than the worst of Thatcherism.

Anyway you're not supposed to say handicapped, that was replaced by disabled and then by differently-abled. But if we cannot agree on the exact nomenclature of your disadvantage - we can all at least agree that you really are completely bloody useless.


Looks like Graham and his chums are going to have to shake those pom-poms a lot harder. :rofl38: :rofl38: :rofl38:

He has all the charisma of a stop sign, and the personality of a loo brush.

Re: Ed Miliband
 

He's just there as a stooge for the next 3 years. Lose an election, get replaced by Yvette Cooper, Labour gets back in in 2020. Conservatives replace Cameron with Gove in 2020, who proves unpopular, Labour in power for next 10 years etc etc.

And so the Conservative / Labour cycle of the post war years continues and no change in the capitalist concensus.

Re: Ed Miliband
 

"Stooge" just about sums up his efforts at todays PM's question time.

Didn't win a single point over Cameron as far as i could see. Rather bitty and not convincing in the points he tried to make.

He sounded more bunged up than usual too.

Re: Ed Miliband
 

And you wouldn't mind the occaisional off day so much if you weren't already aware that the whole thing is scripted for him, including the pathetic jokes.

Re: Ed Miliband
 

Ohhh! So that's why he doesn't seem spontaneous;):rolleyes:

When his name was called by the Speaker I couldn't work out whether they were cheering him on or jeering - anyone better than me at interpreting all the "hoohah" of Parliament?

Re: Ed Miliband
 

Perhaps you might find this instructive as a measure of the man...

Ed Miliband longs to drop designer look to wear 'big glasses and nasty jumpers' - Telegraph

Well, it made me laugh anyway.
