I find Corbyn deeply unsettling

[Yarboosucks]

There is something about the man that makes me shudder - the cold detachment of the man.

I really do worry about what would be unleashed if he were elected.

I can cope with much of the sentiment in the Labour manifesto, but not the man. Similar feelings about Mc Donnell, but he seems to manage to pull out some humanity in interviews

I find a prime minister who openly says he will ignore the ruling of parliament and who displays such contempt for the British public far more disturbing tbh

We don’t vote for leaders but Corbyn LOST a vote of no confidence by the Labour Party in June 2016 and was called upon to resign.

As he is still there I don’t have much faith in the you are voting for the party not the leader crap.

Again for the shills in the room

The problem with Labour supporters is that they just can't compute that someone could possibly hold a different opinion to them and when confronted about their hypocrisy...claim its abuse!

No doubt will be answered with the russian leaked NHS brexit document and pretend that Russian interference is pro Tory.

He has a sinister air and an unsettling presence.

What absolute rubbish.

BJ seems fake, cringeworthy and unable to relate to real people.

You trying to pretend that there is only a problem with Tory shills highlights your critical thinking skills, no doubt gained from your Red brick uni, fair play

Oops, did you mean to sound like such a massive Tory snob?

You seem to be stuck on that word 'shills' Justanotherlurker - maybe need a tweak of your software?

jess philips could be a good leader to labour.

I can’t understand why some would vote for a party with a racist bigoted misogynist liar at the helm. Or why someone would vote for a party than will give us more years of a broken NHS until it’s sold off, or a party that has allowed millions of children to live in poverty. Conservative and Unionists have shown nothing but contempt to poor and disabled people- their current manifesto
Lists funding for LD and autism as zero

If you can explain why you’d vote for any of the above then I’d be willing to try and accept that you have a different (wrong) opinion.

I would vote for Jess Philips simply because she told Diane Abbott to fuck off.

This can be my only response.

Cold detachment of corbyn?! Did you see Johnson's refusal to look at the picture of the 4 year old on a bed of coats!?

I thought Corbyn was a breath of fresh air when he first became leader. I thought many of the things that his supporters on here thought - integrity, honesty, compassion.

I'm not entirely sure what it was that changed my mind, perhaps a series of events, but I find him the complete opposite of that now. His virtue signalling and smugness is unbearable. People who are genuinely caring and compassionate do not constantly point it out themselves, they do it through their actions. He genuinely thinks he is the most compassionate person in the whole country. And he encourages his supporters to join that bandwagon - "support me and you too can be seen as morally superior"

It amazes me that his supporters just blindly think that anyone who doesn't vote for him is a 'murderer' and 'racist' and doesn't care about the social issues in this country. The irony being that is the very defintion of not being compassionate.

People on the left now are so busy telling everyone what fantastic woke compassionate people they are, they have completely lost sight of reality.

agree op

He is a stubborn fool who is more interested in getting his own way than to actually add up his costs.

Or perhaps Abbot did his accounts

I am not a massive corbyn supporter by any means but I don’t recognise this in him. He’s been fighting for social justice for decades, putting himself out for a number of causes. He’s unpolished and rough around the edges but I wouldn’t say cold and detached.

Boris is far colder in my view.

Bless.

If your thread title had been, 'I find page 48 if the conservative manifesto deeply unsettling AIBU' you might have had a point OP. As it stands though, nah.

He is a dreadful, greasy spiv like little man, with a nasally whining voice and a jealous nature who doesn't give a toss about anyone or anything as his youth shows.

He has all the depth of thought that he did when he failed all the exams around him despite having a pretty privileged background and is unable to think anything through.

He's not too keen on women or Jews and has a cult like following who worship him and would find an excuse for him if he said all Tories should be whipped in the streets. He reminds me of Hitler.

However, despite all this, he has a very big opinion of himself, which shows that he is shite when it comes to matters of judgement.

Corbyn's come out in his true colours this week: a shroud waver.

You're right to be concerned, but the others are cut from the same cloth.

That's not what I see at all. I see a genuinely decent and caring man. As for Boris... Well he's the opposite.

The people of Britain are fairly sensible. They will pick the party with the right policies for the UK. I very much doubt that will be Corbyn's party.

However do vote and if you aren't sure how to vote vote Conservative.

funny this thread should pop up, DP has just shown me newspaper report of JC visiting a local primary school today
I'm not his greatest fan by any means, but it was interesting to see the pictures of him with the children, there was a mutual interest and respect which can't be faked. He was really listening to them. He found out what mattered to them, and also to the adult constituents. I think that's what people like about him, he seems like an ordinary person.

I just typed out a really long reply and then my screen shut down and I lost it. Anyway the short version is I see JC as a compassionate person who cannot be bought or have his opinion swayed by money or reward. He has his moral and political beliefs and has consistently voted for what he believes in. I think he is uncomfortable on camera and doesn't like playing to the media, the things you see others doing on camera JC will do without any press around. He is a genuine person who wants to end poverty and redistribute wealth in a fairer way.

Let's hope he shuffles some of his own millions around then!

He reminds me of Hitler.

People on here will be shrieking about that comment but there is a very serious point to it. We know what the far right looks like with the rampant nationalism and cleansing etc. but we are less familiar with what the far left looks like. Although we do know that approx. 15 million people (some estimate 60 million) died under Stalin's far left regime.

'Compassion' and equality can be very dangerous, and it is sometimes a little terrifying how the 'compassionate' Corbynites speak about people who do not agree with them.

I have been left leaning all my life and this election I am voting Tory. I am now experiencing the level of vileness that you get from hard left people when you are not agreeing with them. I see them as anything but compassionate humans.

Ha, you actually think you've got some kind of sway. We're voting for a party and our values. Not a person. The tories have demonstrated that they can swap and change whenever they like. Ffs 😂
