Take a good look at the Canadian budget for examples of what the UK will look like under Corbyn: http://nationalpost.com/opinion/andrew-coyne-the-liberals-deliver-a-federal-budget-that-has-nothing-to-do-with-budgeting-or-the-economy/amp?__twitter_impression=true

But that's clearly not what he meant.

I don't know why people got so hung up on the transition period anyway. A few extra people coming in is nothing compared to the unlimited immigration from the past 20 years.

But if the EU know that is the intention then why would they not just be as unreasonable as they possibly can because they don't want us to leave?

How will they get "kicked out?"

She has my sympathies.

Exactly. Hypothetically if corbyn fails, what is to stop momentum members from electing another candidate like Jeremy and just trying again?

There's still time. You could argue it's hastened the death of the Labour Party as it used to be. With the twerp Red Ed changing the voting, there isn't going to be a non hard left momentum loving socialist as leader for the foreseeable future.

I think it's fine to discuss the many failings in the Tory party but to bring it up immediately following a critical post about corbyn gives the impression that you are trying to mitigate Jeremy's many problems by shouting about the conservatives - a tactic regularly employed on here by the way.

I just think it's amusing that pointing out Tory failings on a thread about Corbyn was the first response to my post. It's not particularly relevant when discussing the Labour Party's inexorable slide into the divisions of identity politics, misandry and racism. I do agree though that both of them are awful representatives for this country.

Lol. I was waiting for the response to that to be finger pointing at the Tories saying "they're bad too!" The absolute stock response from any Labour supporter to anything like this as if that makes anything Corbyn does better.

There's no doubt about it, Corbyn is absolutely the party leader everyone should be hoping gets to power. Here's another example of his impeccable judgement...

A few reasons really, the toxic atmosphere in the dressing room before he left which led to our relegation was led by him and then after he retired, his antics out in town and sone of the things he did at weekends. I'd rather not say any more.

Or when someone dismisses the entire episode entirely like the BBC https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/02/the-bbcs-coverage-of-ben-bradleys-apology-to-corbyn-is-fascinating/

Great player for us. Not a great human being.

There really is no excuse in this day and age for living in an echo chamber. Loads of opportunity to see opposing viewpoints if you want to.

Just want to say how much I enjoy your write ups every week and also how much I agree with them. Entertaining as always.

It's all too easy though to dismiss opponents as brainwashed sheep simply because they aren't a fan of a political party. Much easier to dismiss the obvious deficiencies of May or Corbyn as delusional rantings of the opposition, hopelessly suckered by the Guardian or the Daily Mail than thinking the other side may actually have a point...

I do think some of the media make up silly smears about corbyn which only backfires. The facts are concerning enough on their own without having to resort to exaggerations and falsehoods. I'm certainly not any more anti corbyn because of some falsehoods in the media.

In the last 15 years who has been more successful at carrying out terrorist attacks in the UK? The far right or Islamic terrorists? Of course foiled Islamic terror plots are going to garner more headlines than other forms of attempted terrorism given the loss of life from the London bombings, Manchester bombings, knifings etc etc.

Interesting of the BBC to go with that headline considering the ten Islamist threats foiled last year abd mentioned in the same article. An alternative slant could be: "Hard right extremism statistically less than half as threatening as radical Islamic terrorism." Both should be condemned of course but its telling that the hard right statistic is the one the BBC chooses to focus on.

And yet the proliferation of the Internet means its easier than ever to find varied points of view about virtually every single issue. I can't speak for others but I certainly don't take pieces from the mail, guardian, mirror or telegraph as Gospel. Increasingly more people from all sides of the political spectrum are turning their backs on the traditional media, its certainly not the case that the majority blindly parrot mainstream media opinion just because the Daily Mail calls Corbyn a twerp or the Guardian calls May incompetent. I think much of the public are perfectly capable of listening to them and coming up with those opinions entirely unaided. Both Conservative and Labour supporters may like to pretend it's all the evil mainstream media but the truth is that both major party political leaders are about as inspiring as damp rags slightly less appealing to the less partisan majority who aren't affiliated to either.

Or based on their own judgements about the competence of party leaders. Interesting that it's only when voters decide not to back a candidate that someone favours that they start shouting about that nefarious media influencing how people vote. It couldn't possibly be that they decided someone wasn't worth voting for of their own accord.

Good luck with that. Imagine the reaction when millions have been ignored.

Will you be paying me to take them?
