It's a crazy world when you can be called a moron for actually supporting a real left wing politician in the LABOUR party.
30071997kario Never a truer word said.
***** Blah blah fucking blah,just watch boy.the country is getting sick of these Tory bastards already.
***** One of the reasons He’s become so popular is because his policies resinate with people. namely renationalise industry such as rail and supporting small businesses and trade unions. Furthermore his dialog on Foreign policy is hardly looney, Supporting peace talks is a far better strategy then than blatant support to the government of Israel or silent compliance. Also putting tax up on the top earners is a very popular policy that many working class people agree with and closing tax loop holes on Companies like amazon and starbucks. while I’m not actually in the labour camp, others candidates such as Burnham and Kendall are willing to compromise their values in order to win the election rather than up hold fundamental values of the party. Respect the person who sticks to his values. its in no way moronic to support a man who’s views were based on which the party was founded upon.
***** Thank you for your view, I'd welcome some examples Of How Corbyn is a "Communist Nutcase" and is a supporter of terrorism. seeing as you haven't actually addressed any of the points i've made. so you're either a Tory who is scared of Corbyn or are just making an angry little rant about someone who has more integrity, more than most of the politicians of Westminster. Peace :)
***** "Comrade Corbyn" has been elected seven times over the last 30 years in Islington, one of the most diverse constituencies in the country. Labour's Membership is up from the election from A growth of 21,000 means Labour's membership has increased around 10% to 221,247. and as for the "asslicking of Hamas and Jerry Adams" encouraging the debate between Hamas and the Acuna party towards a two party state solution is a more than reasonable viewpoint. And I would be more than happy to see the well documented evidence of his asslicking of Jerry Adams and sinn Fein. unless you can bring something else to the table than just a rant, you're not worth the time. I hope in future you should take the time to look into evidence before making an argument. take care pal! Peace :)
former adviser to Tony Blair lecturing that people should be "ashamed"of themselves - do one mayte x
Ah, good old reliable and honest Allegra Stratton. Moved from the Tory BBC to the Tory Party. And what a success she was...... ;-)
You were laughing then. Bet you're not laughing now!
Is that the fist of compassion? 🤔
@Henry Discipline if you think Johnson or in fact any neoliberal establishment candidate is better for Britain than Corbyn, then the joke is on you. The corona response proves the total failure of the right.
John mcternan helping to destroy the Labour Party. How do they live with themselves. A very Machiavellian character… along with Campbell.. and Mandelson.. and… you know who they are!
against him since the very start
If Jeremy Corbyn is the new Labour leader next election, then labor can rely on my vote.
well thats two then 2019
Well done, you saved the party.
If ever there was a reason to sop paying the TV Licence it is Kirsty Wark and John McTernan together on the same show sucking up to Labour.
Scottish Mafia. Then the BBC appoints Laura Kuenssberg too! Honestly ...
Just who is the 'moron' ? Calling your fellow Party members that.
What is it - yippee for Trident, long live the privatized railways ?
Putin loves you.
Corbyns emergence onto the national scene really exposed the biases and loyalties of the British press.
Please, a question about the people you accused of terrorism in direct and indirect ways, and they are innocent people. Are you looking forward to settling their situation and rehabilitating them? I am a person of twenty-one years in Britain and I do not have any right to life. What is the solution please?
Allegra Stratton looks like an interesting person, it will be interesting to see what she does
How on Earth can you be a 'moron' for allowing someone in to extend the debate and someone who clearly garners a lot of support amongst, at the very least, current Labour supporters? Just because there is a candidate in the running who doesn't agree with your Blairite views doesn't mean they should be vetoed, what a sham these people are making of democracy!
Look at the 2019 election result. Your stupidity in supporting Corbyn gave us Boris Johnson. You absolute, utter moron.
comments have aged well
The best thing that could happen is this guy gets in, it would secure a third term for the tories and give the well needed boost to the lib-dems.
+RJ k the cuts were always gonna come. Labour had no other plan, and simply saying we would have done it differently doesn't cut it. And I will never be fooled into believing they care about working class. They proved that one with brownblaire. Don't take my word for it. Just look. They lost Scotland and large areas of the rest of England. Because of what they done.
***** how on earth did you conclude that? And until brownblaire I always voted labour.
lol
Corbyn is making a stir. The old school, toe the line traditionalist, corporatist, warmongering whipped government representation that support a an elitist dystopia are becoming uneasy. I like it.
Oh Clown Corbyn, you silly little man.
Picked by members not MPs genius
