Am AIBU to be scared about Jeremy Corbyn?

Conservative HQ sent me this earlier. I thought that was quite a restrained and reasonable response, but I've since heard that he wants to make swiping left on Tinder compulsory. WIBU to swipe right even if someone is not wearing a vest?

Scare mongering and hysteria are the only things the right wing gutter press are good for. More fool the people who believe the bilge.

Yes you ABVVVU. Give him a chance! He's not a Communist but an old fashioned socialist

I voted for Corbyn because I believe he's a good person. He has the lowest expenses claim in parliament. In 30-odd years as an MP, he has never compromised his beliefs in order to seek a front bench position. He has never sought power (he only stood this time so there'd be a left-wing candidate, not because he expected to win).

He has fought for the most underprivileged people, often when those people have been demonised by others, whether it's in his support for the Birmingham Six or his activities in the anti-apartheid movement. People in his constituency say he always responds to requests for help.

So many other politicians - including the other three candidates - seem to be in politics for personal gain, whether it's wealth, power or both. For years the press has complained that all politicians are the same - greedy and self-interested. Finally here's one who isn't. Of course, they'll crucify him nonetheless.

What hackmum said!

I really hope he sues them. Thye are pathetic. It's a bit like that "more cash in your pocket to spend on bingo" one they did a few years ago that was just a massive own goal, as it was so offensive.

He's unelectable and in that sense there is nothing to be frightened of. The Labour party needs shaking up. Whether JC will be able to make the Labour party electable is a moot point. I'm not personally remotely worried that he will.

Fake news!

If you are genuinely this gullible, you shouldn't have the right to vote. You vote for the party, not the person.
