Back in the 70s and 80s we had the likes of Red Robbo and Arthur Scargill masquerading as being on the side of the working man and the underpriviledged. We now know that their real aim was to destroy the economy of the UK by bringing constant industrial chaos. All this to the advantage of the Communist countries particularly Russia. As Corbyn came to lead the Labour Party by some rather dubious means very similar to how the reds took over the unions perhaps his quest for power has more sinister intentions than realised by those who seem to think he's the answer to all the UK's problems.

And if one wants an inumerate bespectacled female Home Secretary who has the build of an obese wrestler, vote Labour on Thursday!

The first two posts are stupid. The last is stupid AND offensive. Wd Slicer.

Good afternoon good DR Slicer, erudite and straight to the point as usual. Happy punting today.

Good afternoon and happy punting to you too Salmon.

Hi Mr btf. I see the leftie apologists are out in force. Good luck to you as well. I can't detect any lies in ANY of my postings. Telling the truth is not being racist, but of course Guardian readers are so misled, they would not notice the truth if it kicked them in the head and knocked some sense into them!

Another thick useless tory thread

Well, if you prefer to vote for Jezza Dustbin, someone who voted against all measures against terrorists, that is your right. A right that will eventually be denied to you by Jezza and his Muslim pals should they get elected!

Keep bowing down to your Tory Establishment Masters

Report Slicer • June 6, 2017 3:49 PM BST

I will. And you vote for Labour and with their lack of any action against terrorism, one day while your head is bowed and a Jihadist saunters along next to you, you know what will happen next!

Report anxious • June 6, 2017 3:56 PM BST

Really and what have the tories and Chairman May done about terrorism 7 years in power she was probably the most inept home secretary and done absolutley nothing about immigration or terrorism . completely hopeless and well out of her cdepth

I agree and it just about could not get worse-unless of course Labour is elected. But you are entitled to your view.

Report anxious • June 6, 2017 4:01 PM BST

Indeed and you are entitled to yours

i don`t think that's right.

I am not entitled to my view.

Report lfc1971 • June 6, 2017 4:05 PM BST

to be entitled to your view you have to be asked? and listened to.

its not enough to say you are entitled to your view, and leave it at that and walk away.
that doesn't impress me, I give no credit for that.

Report lfc1971 • June 6, 2017 4:11 PM BST

now in the brexit referendum they made a point of saying it was to discover the will of the people,
and then after it they said they could not understand what the people wanted.
maybe they didn't ask, were scared to ask?
but we are entitled to our view, as long as they can find some way to ignore it.?

Report lfc1971 • June 6, 2017 4:23 PM BST

it was surprising how quickly after the referendum they discovered they didn't understand peoples point of view , it was perhaps a few minutes after the results came in.

Report lfc1971 • June 6, 2017 4:33 PM BST

The Brexit vote seems a long time ago .

Report bix • June 6, 2017 4:33 PM BST

The OP was mean to illustrate the similarity of Corbyn's tactics and how he came to be leader and those of the red trade union leaders of the 70s & 80s. who managed to dupe a lot of the people.

Dear me how shocking that a left wing Political Party has a left wing leader , perish the thought eh

Scargill conned the masses whilst hovering up a nice few quid.
A socialist? don't make me laugh and screwd his union over as well by refusing to give up his London Flat (worth 2m).
Had to take him to court to get him evicted 2/3 years ago. The flat btw was a second home for him.

Scargill was pretty good at the levitation biz

Scargill started with a small house and a big union. He finished with a big house, and a small union.

I remember questions being asked at the time and he claimed he'd got help of a family member to buy the house.
