By voting for Corbyn - you would have supported:-


- a united Ireland

- public ownership of energy companies

- rationalisation of the railways

- an arms embargo on Israel

- free education

- reducing the trade deficit/National Debt, by taxing the wealthy

- giving Gibraltar to Spain; Falklands to Argentina


Never had you down as such a radical...




I don't think that Corbyn's plans were radical. His suggested higher rate of income tax is 30-40% lower than that which existed in 1973 under Edward Heath's conservative government. I don't think that people are going to start packing their bags to leave the country because they have to pay 1-2% more tax.
As for Nationalising railways and energy companies, I think that this could be a good idea. Energy companies act as a cartel, working together to agree higher prices and the customer always gets ripped off. Some of the best train companies in the world are nationalised. France, Germany, and Japan have nationalised rail services, all far ahead of our own.

I think Labour's real problem was trying to overturn the biggest democratic vote ever and implying that working class people were either racist or stupid for voting for Brexit. Also they need to get rid of all this woke nonsense and gender identity politics. All female shortlists and trans self identification. Labour has become a party for young middle class metropolitan liberals and that is never going to win elections.
Bookworm I have never heard or seen this Polly.
How she could win the campaign is beyond me. Still, it's only left to members to vote.Thats how Boris ended up where he is and shows all that is wrong.
Politics lately is like eating two day old Birthday cake. You'd think it would be better.
Still, some things are taken for granted!

However they rarely do...

Barney, are you ok? I'm a bit worried because you have made two typos in one day and usually you are very precise.
Take care of yourself please.
