Corbyn's Labour Party Antisemitism Row

[Brian Peacock]

Some argue definitions but this goes deeper. Corbyn is a vegetarian and so was Hitler. The number of letters in both names identical. Go figure?

Nothing to figure here, unless you can prove that Nastrodamus predicted the rise of Corbyn.

[Svartalf]

ask SU, hes seems to know the centuries inside and out.

[pErvinalia]

Depeche Mode predicted the rise of Jeremy Corbyn?

[cronus]

Corbyn isnt a English name. Got a Germanic twang to it. Cor-binn....sounds like Ber-linn. Not saying he's a German, or even directly related to Germans. But the efficiency of his campaigning style is not English.

[Svartalf]

Actually, it has an Old French sound to it, Old French Corbin is a name for a raven or crow...

[Scot Dutchy]

Also in old Scots.

The Twa Corbies

As I was walking all alane,
I heard twa corbies making a mane;
The tane unto the t'other say,
'Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'

'In behint yon auld fail dyke,
I wot there lies a new slain knight;
And naebody kens that he lies there,
But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.

'His hound is to the hunting gane,
His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
His lady's ta'en another mate,
So we may mak our dinner sweet.

'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
We'll, theek our nest when it grows bare.

'Mony a one for him makes mane,
But nane sall ken where he is gane;
Oer his white banes, when they we bare,
The wind sall blaw for evermair.'

[Scot Dutchy]

In song:

[Svartalf]

funny, the tune reminds me strongly of a Breton song... ironically titled An Alarc'h, "the Swan"

[Rum]

Crumple's been at the meths again.

[Svartalf]

meth? I didn t know it had that kind of psychedelic effects...

[Rum]

'Meths' - old fashioned for methylated spirits.

[Svartalf]

oh, that... yeah, I hear it makes you mad as well as blind

[Rum]

..we have the evidence before us...

[Svartalf]

You mean SuperUniverse? Glaxo?

Would not be surprised. The Corries were known for their vast knowledge of old and ancient folk songs. An Edinburgh pairing remaining from a foursome. One was a teacher in my school before he became famous.
