Swivelled Eyed Loon

I have oft heard that expression directed at some of us more right wing thinkers on AB

Did any one see Corbyn on ITV News at 10pm tonight.? That was cringeworthy sad. He had a vacant hollow stare in his face as he was manoeuvered amongst the press. Someone actually physically dragged him by the collar away from the media in case he gurgled something embarassing.
It looked like he was being dragged back to a dementia ward.
I am not being flippant or facetious. I am serious. That was painful and sad to see a broken and truly confused man. Awful sight.

You've seen that term used here?

Nothing shows in a search, presumably removed every single time then.

Horrible expression.

[Mamyalynne]

Poor man, didn't see it.

[anneasquith]

Oft heard on AB ? Really ?

Mamyalynne
I can assure you I have seen that expression used on AB more than any where else. I can honestly say I don't think I learnt it or heard it in the real world !!!

[Mamyalynne]

ell it has been expunged, that's all I will say on that.

[Mamyalynne]

Well *

[gness]

Must have missed it too, Mamya....first time I've heard or read the expression.

Perhaps you should look harder. I am not in the custom of lying. Why should I ?

[gness]

Ah...not a poster I would click on.

[anneasquith]

Talbot used it in 2014 !!!!!

[gness]

Oh you hussy, Anne....hanging on to Talbot's every word!... ;-)

[retrocop]

Yeah. Call me a liar. No apology tells me more about you.

[Mamyalynne]

Aha, swivel - I searched your title 'swivelled' search box is very picky.

[anneasquith]

Indeed G he's my favourite aber. !!!!!!!

[Mamyalynne]

You may have an apology for me getting the search wrong but it's still horrible.

I've heard the expression used on AB, but can't remember specific contexts. Same breed of comment as "brainwashed", "Anti-British Traitor", etc, and shouldn't -- but inevitably does -- have any place in the discussions here.

Returning to the topic, Corbyn seems stuck in a job he didn't really want and is clearly incapable of handling well. I worry that he's going to *win* the second leadership election, because I'm not sure how that fixes anything either. Watching the Labour Party dismantle itself has been fascinating to watch in about the same way I can imagine people finding themselves unable to avert their eyes at the Place de la Guillotine, or some such.

Watching Tom Watson give an interview today he looked like a broken man. We need an opposition, and I think there's a good chance now that in six months we won't really have one.

Fascinating - the only instance that our esteemed olgitcop can quote is actually ...

... by one of his mates being rude about a left wing thinker.

[douglas9401]

Nobody's doing themselves any favours here with the wide-eyed innocent act, people.
It's a common enough expression.

[Mamyalynne]

Maybe in your house.

[anneasquith]

Minor details Dave :-)
