Have we ever had a period in our history when this happened in our society or is it a brave new philosophy that takes a leap of faith into the unknown?

"To create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few..." - Tony Blair's rewritten version of Clause 4 in Labour's constitution, adopted in 1995 despite a fierce campaign against it led by Jeremy Corbyn

So is Labour 2017 now finally offering the actual 'Proper Socialism' that the public have apparently been craving this last 40 years or so?
Remember, Callaghan lost because he didn't offer it, Suicide-Note Foot lost because he didn't quite offer it, Kinnock inconceivably lost TWICE because he didn't offer it, Brown lost because he didn't offer it, and Miliband lost because he didn't offer it. Have we now actually, finally got there, to Year Zero where the public will vote in numbers never before imagined to sweep Pol Corbyn to power? |

Hope so.
The alternative is hell. |

If the party goes back to kinnock mkII, with Starmer, Cooper, Chukka, chemical smith and the rest of the careerists, then forget the majority of people ever getting fair play or justice.
That barsteward kinnock married to europe and pops back to uk into a safe seat tells me all I need to know about what could happen to the party. He has been stabbing corbyn in the back from day one |

Well, Blair consistently promised a society "for the many, not the few", and got elected three times, with huge majorities, by an electorate presumably grateful that he had indeed delivered a society for the many, not the few.

Brentesque in his delivery, only the Corbynites will fall for it.

The irony is that if corbyn had a bit of swagger then he'd probably win by rousing those under the yolk (who by definition out number those dipping bread)
Its ironic because hes too honest ffs and all the illicit opportunists gun him down while he's trying to be sincere. He needs to give the quibs and clever reposts to that May hag and then people would believe in him, its psychological. |

Dusty I do not believe in him or McDonnell or Diane Abbott but that is not a problem.
But I do want the agenda or coversation changed to Nationalising The Railway without compensation, Nationalising the Utility Companies preferably without compensation to shareholders and a free NHS for all that pays for knee operations and doesn't ask the patients to put up with the pain and free education for the young incuding University. Oh yes that's right we have no money! Oh yes we do in London, plenty of it. Just look at all the cranes! |

Are the railways privatised? That;s a new one on me..
From the 'Office of Rail and Road': Net Govertment support to the rail industry totalled £4.8 billion in 2014 -15, down 9.3 % compared to last year The majority of government funding in 2014- 15 was in direct rail support, which is the grant payment to Network Rail. This was £3.8 billion in 2014- 15, an increase of £349 million on 2013- 14. |
