That prism/right side stuff Anyone clued up enough to know what condition (medically) might cause that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can be a range of conditions ranging from cataracts to MS or a brain tumour.It is to do normally with muscle weakness in the eye.My Grandad had one at 90 due to peripheral neuropathy combined with age.

Sean 6,330 Posted September 25, 2019 It probably is making him tired and fed up as migraines often occur with double vision even if it is purely the result of an eye condition.I can't see it affecting him as a political leader however I am not sure it is a good idea to cycle with double vision .

To be fair to all, Boris is one of many cunts inhabiting our Political system at the mo. Cunts to the left, cunts to the right and cunts in the middle.

Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted October 28, 2019 Amid rumours of his ill health, he's eating more porridge to prepare for the rigours of an election campaign. Proper socialist porridge or hippy new-wave overnight oats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted October 28, 2019 So, a Marmite government goes into an election against an opposition led by a controversial 70 year old leader who has rumours of ill health, and lots of people vote more for the party's ideas than the actual leader because there was a big split in the official opposition over internal selections and tariff, to the point many Tory MPs couldn't image him ever becoming Prime Minister. He is also seen as being unable to stop one of the great prejudices of his day because he can't control his own party on the subject... But enough of Henry Campbell-Bannerman... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,057 Posted November 19, 2019 Corbyn on Johnson v Corbyn can be summed up thus: Jobs, listen, *Sniff* new deal, explain priorities and decisions, *swallow hard* NHS not for sale, Climate Change emergency, *look at camera with disconcerting bad eye* no SNP deal, once in a generation election (Say whaaat?), *inhale* Dickens, Labour, poverty. Surprised he didn't get a mike to drop and walk off in triumph. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted November 19, 2019 Moving this topic back on topic (and away from another one of YoungWillz's political rants), can somebody on here with a good understanding of medicine shed light on Corbyn's new spectacles? The blog Guido Fawkes is claiming he has a fresnel prism lens which is given to people who have suffered a stroke. Labour are of course denying any major health implications, instead saying he has an eye condition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted November 23, 2019 Does anyone think Corbyn has a chance of becoming PM in 3 weeks? I just have a sneaking suspicion that there might be a lot of people intending to vote for him but too embarrassed to admit it. We could all be in for a big shock on friday the 13th !

gcreptile 10,978 Posted December 12, 2019 I really liked the beard on him. Labour leaders should wear more beards, if they are men. Maybe they should also drink a little and eat meat occasionally. If they are women... they should have an idea of low-paid manual work. Give me a female bricklayer, or a cashier, or a bartender. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
