Salty or Sweet?

Behold at the time of harvest, the ears of corn did bring forth kernels which were dried and prepared for the Popper’s hand. And then it was that the Popper did take the kernels, all that did appear alike unto Him, and applied the oil and the heat.

And it came to pass that when the heat was on, some did explode with promise and did magnify themselves an hundred fold. And some did burst forth with whiteness which did both gladden the eye and satisfy the taste of the Popper. And likewise some did pop, but not too much. Behold, there were some that did lie there, and even through the Popper’s heat was alike unto all, some did just bask in the oil and keep everything that they had unto themselves.

And so it came to pass that those which had given of themselves did bring forth much joy and delight to many munchers. But those which kept of the warmth and did not bring forth were only cast into the pail and thought of with hardness and disgust.

And thus we see that in the beginning all appear alike, but when the heat is on, some come forth and give all, while others fail their purpose as chaff, so as to be discarded and forgotten.

Very apt I would say.

Anx, I can often sympathise with your values,who wouldn't want the poor to get more,who wouldn't want the rich to get their comeuppance now and again and who wouldn't want the workingclass to aspire for more ? I felt the same way when I was 21 years old but experience tells me it doesn't work out that way and I am probably right wing now as I believe a healthy economy offers the poorest and the working class more opportunity to improve their lot. When I, and those similar to me, get tarred with words like traitor to the working class it irritates me immensely and does more damage than the accusers realise,when I hear tories being accusd of being lowlife for holding a different opinion about how to improve our lives I fear those people far more than any tory government.
I benfited from a grammar school and nearly 33% of my class were from what might be called sink estates now,whatever the sentiments are I am adamant that grammars offer the working class more social mobility and opportunity than comprehensives which so many Labour ministers strangely avoid.We can disagree but once we hurl personal insults at each other it gets out of hand and the arguments are lost,the groups around Corbyn are killing Labour despite their supposed caring values.

With regards Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell it's not merely a case of condemning a politician because one doesn't happen to like their social, economic or fiscal policies.

In McDonnell we're talking about a man who advocated the murder of British citizens, honouring those who actually committed such heinous acts of brutality, and somebody who counts IRA killers amongst his circle of friends.  It is important to note that he does not deny these despicable truths about his past.  A few grovelling apologies on television, however, are simply not good enough in this instance; the man is running for high office in a country whose people he once opined "only heeded to bullets and bombs."  The very fact that this dangerous individual is permitted to be shadow chancellor brings shame to all of us, not just the Labour Party. 

Corbyn's historical alliances, although not quite as abhorrent as his chosen deputy, are also worthy of contempt; his links with Hezbollah, Hamas and the IRA all being widely known.  If we had any sense neither man should be permitted within ten miles of the Houses of Parliament, much less prominent members of Her Majesty's opposition.  Torquemada and Akabula's earlier appraisals on this thread were correct: Labour are evidently shambolic and no longer the party best representing British workers.  I, unlike many right wingers, take no delight in this fact whatsoever.  Our country desperately needs a trustworthy, credible and competent alternative to the incumbent government, an impossible scenario with the likes of Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott at the helm.
