Ending tuition fees and renationalising the railways.

Like voting for the Marxist student group at a Poly in 1974.
|
|
By:
tory lot going to get trashed - great policies - go round and ask at the door
trouble is you won't get it reflected in most papers and tv - they need to keep their jobs |
|
By:
renationalising the railways.
Gets my vote. |
|
By:
You want to see the 'balanced' two they have for review of the papers on sky this evening
the only time any of this lot in the media meet people who like these policies is when they go out to dinner in Notting Hill(waiters) or when they collect their dry cleaning (which is probably delivered anyway) |
|
By:
they think balanced means having two people ho ho

Making it easier for non EU immigrants to come into the country and happy to see immigration increase.
Thats going to win a lot of votes. |
|
By:
I know
corbyn is fkd on immigration and the eu if only the party would return to pre Kinnock - the sh!t turned erse about - mind you it worked out well for him and Glynis!!! |
|
By:
It appears his rail nationalization policy isnt what it seems either.
What a shambles this guy is. |
|
By:
Im beginning to believe he is trying to lose as it was suggested the majority of Labour MPS in vulnerable seats are the moderates and he is planning for 2022 already. (Or should I say McDonnell is as he is the real leader).

Scrapping tuition fees will be a big vote winner for the younger voters
|
|
By:
And retaining the Triple Lock on State Pension will be a big vote winner for the 60 plus.
And big votes from NHS workers Disabled Union members Anti Brexit Police,Firemen,Teachers Anti Fox hunting |

By:
Relieved to see that he would be 'extremely cautious' about using Trident nuclear weapons.

By:
England is conservative and unless Scotland returns to voting Labour there can never be a Labour government again.
Nothing in any Labour manifesto can change that. |
|
By:
By contrast the Conservatives are pledging to spend more on defence.
|
|
By:
NHS workers: their votes will not change
Disabled: I doubt there will be a great change Union members: depends on the union and individual, no change Anti-Brexit: same individuals would have voted labour/lib in any case tories will not change vote on this, they know its a lost cause Police,Firemen,Teachers:natural tories Anti fox hunting: may be a major concern, but unlikely to have a real impact when it comes to voting. |
|
By:
was going to vote lib dem but after seeing this, defo voting labour.
|
|
By:
Interesting that Labour oppose fox hunting yet remain silent on Muslim grooming gangs.

Does anybody really believe that any of this fantasy stuff is remotely realistic.
Increase non EU immigration shows total contempt for his natural voters Commit to a deal with the EU is a negotiating strategy that an average 5 year old would laugh at. Nationalise the National Grid. Paid for how? Corporation tax increase in a time of uncertainty with Brexit will raise far more in year 1 than in year 5 Same goes for tax on higher earners House building pledge? Where will the land come from and does he have the faintest idea how long planning can take. Tuition fees abolished, more police more NHS etc etc paid for by extra borrowing 250 billion for infrastructure well that wont happen inside the first five years. Repeal of all Union laws. Great let McCluskey bring the country to a halt every other week. The funniest bit is saying he will clear the deficit by the end of the Parliament. Its basically just a give away to attract simpletons who just see extra cash for something they like paid for by someone else. Even if he gets elected a lot of it wont happen given that half his MPS will never support most of it. |

By:
Its like a political Amazon wish list. Pick a load of things you'd really like but know you can never afford.
|
|
By:
He's also ruled out a "no deal" option with the EU.Thus giving them carte blanche to shaft us in the sure and certain knowledge that we won't just walk away.

He is also going to ban greyhound racing to stop Britain going to the dogs.

Got a mate who had been Labour all his life, as was his family, and well the city, but was very pro-brexit, always sharing Farage type vids on facebook and the like. Bit of a lost cause really.
Anyhoo, since then he'd been full of "May's doing a good job" and had fallen into the trap of dismissing Corbyn without listening to him. Luckily, since the election's been called I've managed to shine some light on how hopeless May has been and looks like being, how thoroughly horrible that mob are, and actually got him to see what Labour are proposing. He's gone from Tory, to not voting for anyone because I'll be abroad and they're all arses, to organising his postal vote to vote for Labour. Quite a result really. |

By:
Surely listening to Corbyn would put you off voting for him unless you are very gullible?

No shortage of those types Dotch.

And voting for May isn't being naive ? Surely you know what you're in for. ? Another 5 years of cut backs and isolation of huge sections of society . The ruination of our public services and the privatisation of the health service. More for the haves ,level less for the have nots. And a ever growing debt mountain. |

Police,Fireman and Teachers natural Tories ? The Police hate May, she's cutback on all emergency services, As for Teachers ,their last Conference , shouted down and heckled the then Minister of Education. They are anti Tory |
|
By:
If Corbyn can't lead a party how can he lead a country?
|
|
By:
Facts. Whats naive is thinking Corbyns plans will do anything other than devastate the poor through massive unemployment high interest rates and runaway inflation.
Im not even sure that naive is strong enough for people who think a man who idolises Mao who murdered 10s of millions of people is suitable to be Chancellor of this Country. Oh and dont assume that because im critical of Corbyn it means im a supporter of May. Since you are a supporter of his just tell me where in the world has a man like him been successful? What do we aspire to? A Maoist China or a Venezualan paradise or maybe North Korea. |

Make sure you adopt the right wurds when you engage in discourse. NEWSPEAK FROM INGSOC latest guidlines for you. Anyone saying Illegal immigrants or failed asylum seaker will be excommunicated
you herd it ear furst |
|
By:
The manifesto will please the dreamers but the realists will know it could easily mean mass closures which loses jobs. Great on sentiment but a vote loser from the non tribal voter.

Don't you think the poor are devastated enough. Under the Tories. I'm confident that a Labour government wouldn't continue the onslaught of the most disadvantaged in this country whilst rewarding the super rich. I'm confident that a Labour government wouldn't destroy the NHS to the point the poorest couldn't afford health care I'm confident that a Labour government would reduce the massive queues at food banks I'm confident that a Labour government would reduce homelessness and child poverty. I'm confident that a Labour government will protect State Pensions ( Triple Lock) I can't think of one beneficial thing the Tory government do, that helps the working class person in this country. |

By:
All irrelevant really innit, cos Labour under Corby ain't got a bleedin snowballs chance.

Good to see Ken McCluskey slipping on his ar5e coming out of the meeting. A sign of things to come.
