By all those
who know about these things and inform and advise us of what is to be and might
be, it is said that if Jeremy Corbyn were to be voted into Leadership of the
Labour Party it could be decades before they next gain office.
Let me see
now.
1921, David
Lloyd George is the man for the future in the new age of the Liberal Party, the
Tories will never see office again.
1938, the
Conservatives ought to get rid of that back bencher Churchill, he really is a
liability, you can rely on Neville Chamberlain, a safe pair of hands.
1944, it is
impossible to see Clement Attlee as a Prime Minister, he should be replaced as
soon as possible by Herbert Morrison.
1958, Harold
Macmillan will never win an election, the age of the old grouse moor aristocrat
is dead, he is no match for the intellect and power of Hugh Gaitskell.
1963, Harold
Wilson? Couldn't win a game of snap, Labour should have voted in George Brown.
1978, Good
grief, what are the Tories doing! Does
anybody think that Thatcher the handbag snatcher could beat steady reliable Jim
Callaghan?
1991, John
Major, couldn't manage a grocer's shop.
Neil Kinnock will run rings round him.
2006, the
Tories will never win another election, Labour holds all the cards and now has
all the men.
Anyone taking
bets?
