A corbyn dynasty. It will be like North Korea
Really do explain without repeating propaganda if you don't mind.
I don't think he can make Brexit work any more that the clowns you support, so I can't see any danger of what you suggest, what I see is just a downward spiral of chaos whichever set take on the challenge, but do by all means tell us how Corbyn given the chance will make this country like North korea.

For start, how about telling us the Political arrangement of Government in North Korea, how its, economy operates and the organs of state control?
How many ministries are operational and how big is the civil service?
What health service if any do they have?

You must be an expert on them, naturally, and so can enlighten us as to how and in what way Corbyn can duplicate the North Korean Regime here?
Share your knowledge with us, I'm fascinated, so don't disappoint me...

Let me give you a little "Starter for ten"
Did you know that North Korea isn't a Communist State?
All references to communism were removed from the North Korean constitution in 2009.
the government has formally replaced all references to Marxism–Leninism in its constitution with the locally developed concept of Juche, or self-reliance.

There that should get you started

It was a joke OG. You need a sense of humour to understand. You can't really explain humour, it's not funny any more.

Could I perhaps ask if in future when Humour is intended, some prior warning be given? I wouldn't want to miss the punch line among the usual rubbish.
What was the joke again?

And you missed my joke, didn't you? it was obvious he had no idea of how Corbyn would change this country into being like North Korea, it was straight out of the Daily Express or Mail, any more than he understood about Brexit, and I did give him a bit of help to get him started on his explanation

The Observer stories are hitting the web:

Britain’s bill for Brexit hits £500m a week – and rising
UK’s economy is already 2.5% smaller than it would have been if the country had voted to remain

Did someone mention 8,000 civil servants? How about...

Delays vetting civil servants hampering Brexit, watchdog warns
Investigation finds more than 25,600 government workers waiting for security clearance

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/sep/07/delays-vetting-civil-servants-hampering-brexit-watchdog-warns
My god! are there really 25,600 government workers actively hampering Brexit?
Is it really true they are reduced to sending them to the Vet to make sure they're not rabid remainers now?
Are they giving them Bromide to prevent the spread of this contagion?

Or is this case yet more evidence of the terminal decline of the art of the Newspaper proof reader?

Reminds me of a joke
Nakasaki Electronics have announced the due to a quantum leap forward in miniaturising their products
They are moving into smaller premises

I'm sure after Brexit the economy will come out looking like that after Murdoch gets hold of it :cool:

it's not restricted to BJ. Quite a few do that (eg TM), even if they supported remain before the vote, and say 'I am a democrat, I respect the will of the people'.
It's a kind of the end justifies the means, what's the point of doing politics if not to seize power?

sooner or later, Wales, Scotland and NI will decide for themselves if the conservatives are right to take them out of the EU.

Pedantry alert - a quantum is the smallest possible change. Any change has to be by one quantum or multiple quanta.
And the term has come to mean the very opposite of that in general use!
And the untimate "Fake Truth"
(And by the way I was using the term in the full knowledge of it's true meaning in that quote)

Note to self, using irony in jokes still needs some work on it!:D

Reminds me of an old Bob Monkhouse joke.
When I was young they laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian
They're not laughing now!

Or my favourite Bob Hope line when interviewed on a chat show as to when he would retire
Bob
"I'll retire when the jokes stop getting a laugh!
The Chat show host
Really? it's never stopped you in the past! :cool:

quantum leap - like in catalytic reactions (see electron and proton tunneling), happens in an infinitesimal time, so its speed is very considerable, much more than non-catalytic reactions.
So a quantum leap in miniaturisation would indeed shrink the size of the devices by several magnitudes.

Do you have to prove you're intelligent? this is a family show after all and there are Brexit fans lurking about, not only that,think of our ratings with those jolly boys and girls at Menwith Hill and GCHQ where would we be without them,
I mean to say just look at this who else would have the patience?
(I suspect they even have a word count) :eek:
Views: 901,940 well done Flecc you are now a Media mogul!

You might struggle with that OG. Both concepts regularly evade you.
Morning Zlatan, up bright and early I see, did you lose your grip on the perch again? or was it the bells?o_O
Landing on your head is never a good way to start the day.

You see? I'm following your example.
