Oh Jeremy Corbyn (52 Viewers)

[skybluetony176]

He's not PM is he and even on the latest polls wouldn't be as he'd need a 7% swing - still facts above rhetoric eh.

Going by the last polls for a general election that should guarantee him a landslide victory then.

The reporting on this has been shockingly bad even by the poor standard of our news media. To go from looking at multiple unlikely scenarios, including world war, huge natural disasters, major terrorism shutting down London etc, and from that publish headlines that Labour is planning for a run on the pound if they are elected, the clear implication being that Labour are expecting the economy to crash if they are elected, is poor to say the least by anyones standards.

Yes Dave of course.

Meanwhile many labour members are banned from the conference and the BBC political editor has to have a bodyguard.

Frankly if you don't understand the pound would disintegrate overnight then your delusional. Personally I'd love 15% interest rates - guess you would to

 

[Sick Boy]

Er no he hasn't and like all socialists hates the concept.

Jeremy Corbyn does not 'believe' in ending free movement after Brexit, leading Momentum activist claims

After your last 'nailed on' predictions, I'm not convinced.

I'm afraid you are showing an embarrassing lack of knowledge regarding the type of politician Mr Corbyn is

British jobs for British workers.

 

[Philosoraptor]

one of the problems of any socialist is our individual attacks come under attack left, right and centre so to speak.

This presumed consent for organ donation is another crazy idea. A good idea in principle but how close is it to being against our individual rights?

You could not fit a cigarette paper between the two.

With any luck, Geoffrey Robinson's half baked idea will be thrown to the side and some money spent on advertising to people the organ donation scheme instead of forcing it on everyone.

Why does she need a bodyguard

 

[Grendel]

Why does she need a bodyguard

Threats of violence from the momentum campaign. The same people who said in response to a labour MP who said the left wing men are more sexist than their Tory counterparts threatened her on social media with rape but said she was fat, ugly and probably having her period.

Free thinkers aren't they?

I think anybody who sings his name in the style of white stripes should instantly mean the nearest person can twat them in the face.

I saw somebody with a "football flag" with his name on.

What is the world coming to?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He is going to do everything & let future generations pay for it.

Seems now that my generation is paying for your generation fucking the economy 10 years ago. So much for the unfettered free marketing of Thatcher and Blair.

I personally don't mind Jeremy corbyn per se, he speaks honestly and he knows what he wants and I think that's a good thing. He is a proper lefty. That's great. I just have two major problems personally :

1. He voted against every EU treaty for 30 years and then backed remain in the EU ref. Sorry but that's good enough for me.

2. His policies seem decent to me and probably a lot of people but his finances don't always add up and I don't want my kids paying for it in years to come like has been shown. So nice in theory but not always very practical.

And yet we are still heavily in deficit despite the Tories granting more gifts to the wealthiest in society. It is a question of priorities and one would think that education would be a great way of reducing our reliance on foreign labour.

Where has cutting everything for 7 years got us?

Seems now that my generation is paying for your generation fucking the economy 10 years ago. So much for the unfettered free marketing of Thatcher and Blair.

Let me see 10 years ago, that was Blair wasn't it, no wait a minute G Brown. Labour were in power from 1997 to 2010, a lot of damage was done then.

National Anthem to be rewritten by Billy Bragg

He already wrote it in 1986.

Father mows the lawn and Mother peels the potatoes
Grandma lays the table alone
And adjusts a photograph of the unknown soldier
In this Holy of Holies, the Home
And from the TV an unwatched voice
Suggests the answer is to plant more trees
The scrawl on the wall says what about the workers
And the voice of the people says more salt please

Mother shakes her head and reads aloud from the newspaper
As Father puts another lock on the door
And reflects upon the violent times that we are living in
While chatting with the wife beater next door
If paradise to you is cheap beer and overtime
Home truths are easily missed
Something that every football fan knows
It only takes five fingers to form a fist

And when it rains here It rains so hard
But never hard enough to wash away the sorrow
I'll trade my love today for a greater love tomorrow
The lonely child looks out and dreams of independence
From this family life sentence

Mother sees but does not read the peeling posters
And can't believe that there's a world to be won
But in the public schools and in the public houses
The Battle of Britain goes on
The constant promise of jam tomorrow
Is the New Breed's litany and verse
If it takes another war to fill the churches of England
Then the world the meek inherit, what will it be worth

the dollar, and an 8 year low against the Euro.

But you cannot prove that this wouldn't have happened under labour also?

 

[clint van damme]

but if the economy was flying you could say the same thing. You couldn't prove it wouldn't have happened if the Monster raving loony party was in charge!

 

[mrtrench]

I think he will become pm. He will achieve enough in 5 years for the Tories to return. What I'm looking forward to most of all is hearing how labour reinvent themselves, talk down the country and blame everything on the Tories next time. I think they will remain hard left now forever.

Edit: it amazes me that they are succeeding in blaming the Tories this time. Such short memories.

 

[skybluegod]

Yes I agree, but the pound was always going to slump straight after the Brexit vote. And even if Labour were in charge with different policies, it wouldn't have dramatically recovered, because until there is a realistic and agreed plan in place in terms of trade, free movement etc, etc. then the economy is pretty much unpredictable.
We don't know if it might have all been better with UKIP in charge
