Jesamine that's utterly pathetic trying to discredit Corbyn based on the bloody hats he wears!! Have you seen the crap Johnson wears at times?!
Clothes are NOT the issue there are FAR MORE IMPORTANT issues at stake here than someone's style choices ffs!
Your posts just actually go to show you DO NOT have ONE single valid argument as to why Corbyn is worse than Johnson.
"PS - the economy has plummeted under the Tories since 2010. The Tories lost the UK our triple A rating for the first time in our history." Exactly! The myth that tories are "better for the economy" has been roundly debunked. I never believed it, because even when I personally was doing well under Tory govts I was aware of how things were for the poorest in our society - that's a major measure of how well a country is doing economically. Also noticing the tories selling parts of the U.K. Off! Why is that necessary if they're running the economy well?
One thing I particularly noticed was Thatcher bought votes from the military by throwing money at them in pay rises etc BUT those harmed in the Falklands war were not well supported when they returned home and within just a few years the redundancies started! Something that absolutely wasn't a norm for military personnel with it having been until then pretty much a job for life! The claim was not as many personnel needed for "peace time" but it seemed obvious to me and those in the military that it was a cost cutting exercise, particularly as it was apparently targeted at the higher ranking soldiers of the "ordinary" soldiers class who were I'm sure considered "too expensive" not being officers but having been in long enough that pay rises and promotions meant they were on good pay.
Just one example of Tory economic mismanagement.
Don't even get me started on the selling off of our industry and manufacturing bases.
Do none of you criticising Corbyn even wonder WHY the tories and right wing media are so determined to put you off him? Do you not wonder what they're REALLY afraid of?
Because they KNOW if half of what they're saying about him were true and he did get a chance as PM in all likelihood he wouldn't win a 2nd election because the electorate would suffer under his lead. Has it even occurred to you that actually what they're afraid of is he WOULD be a good leader and benefit the country and that would keep the tories out of power?
If he's SO unelectable why do they even feel the need to go after him? Are they so unsure of their own policies and leadership benefiting the country that instead of running positive stories of how well they're running the country 😂😂😂😂 they're attacking him?
"Esp more money for police and CPS" you REALLY believe Johnson will follow through with this? He lies 6 times before he's out of bed of a day! The man can't be trusted to tell his own name honestly!!
"The reason Blair was popular was because he was centre left" he really wasn't! He was a Tory in a thinly veiled disguise!
"If we get Corbyn we're stuck with him for the next five years. If Brexit doesn't work out, we can apply to rejoin forthwith." Utterly delusional thinking! - if not sarcasm? Even IF we applied to rejoin we'll have royally pissed off the eu so they're unlikely to let us and even IF they did we have ZERO leverage and would have to agree to a shit ton of conditions quite possibly including having to have the euro!
MaximusHeadroom excellent post. My grandparents fought in WWII and we're all working class, staunch socialists and Labour supporters. As pp said the Labour Party and the welfare state were overwhelmingly wanted after the war.
In addition people are repeatedly glorifying and misrepresenting how things were during WWII in relation to brexit and giving it "we managed" NO not everyone did! Quite aside from the many killed (who then of course didn't need housed or fed!) there was extreme poverty, malnutrition, homelessness as a result of the war. There was the black market, looting (including of bodies), pillaging, farms raided... It was NOT the rosy time of "everyone pulling together" it is portrayed as!
