Introduction to a Corbyn government come early down my way.
South West trains RMT untion going on strike for whole of December. Yep, the whole of December. Services expected to be cut by 50% with last service home gone by 10:30pm each night. In December. That's going to cause havoc with a lot of peoples plans all across London.
It's like free advertising for the Tories.
Imagine it's 3 years into a Corbyn government and all broadband is owned by the government, all workplaces with more than 50 employees are compulsorily unionised and sympathy strikes are legalised. This is pretty much Labour policy.
The train drivers and shopworkers go on strike for higher wages due to "Christmas Stress" and the telecoms workers block all internet shopping in sympathy.....

A Corbyn government won't last 3 years.

Andrew Neil is brilliant.
Forensically challenges politicians who believe their own campaign hype and bullshit but also happy to discuss and probe in a non-confrontational way if a politician opens up on, say, how a policy might be implemented.

In conversation with mates on Facebook as it was being aired
Me:
Corbyn pulling a Kinnock on the Andrew Neil Show
Clutching defeat from the jaws of victoryVery disappointing
Mate:
usual BBC bias,the chief rabbi in Johnson’s pocket,a peerage no doubt,a conservative rabbi and supporter of the corrupt Zionist NetanyahuMe:
Neil was a very tough taskmaster / twat but better that than the wishy washy hosts to date.Neil gave Corbyn ample opportunity to give definitive 'yes / no' answers and he shied away from most of them.
The anti-Semitic issue should have been put to bed years ago. Likewise the Labour MPs accused of it.
It hasn't, and it's detracting from all the good stuff in the Labour manifesto unfortunately.
And before you reply, yes the other parties are as if not more culpable.
Mate:
it has been dealt with,it’s just the right wing media and the paid off chief rabbi won’t let it lie cos they running scared and are resorting to lies and smear tactics,so much for a clean campaignMe:
So if it's been dealt with why didn't Corbyn stop Neil in his tracks and say'Andrew you're embarrassing yourself. This has all been dealt with as well you know. I and the Labour Party have no case to answer to with regard to anti-Semitism. Please move on from these incorrect and quite frankly slanderous statements of yours.'

In reality that interview was at very best, an absolute train wreck for Corbyn. Not only did he refuse to apologise for the anti-Semitic, but Neil also exposed that low tax earners are going to be hit by Labour policies, at which Corbyn simply started to flounder.
I fear what Neil could do to BoJo!

Fingers crossed he's hard and fair across the board.

He did a great job exposing the tax madness. What really surprised me was that Corbyn did not have a response ready..surely its not the first time this socialist has been asked what will happen if his tax base deserts him with either a) fancy lawyers or b) relocation?...but it genuinely did look like he'd never considered the most likely consequence.
On 2nd thoughts..maybe he does know how to stop both those things...but maybe he realises Britain isn't quite ready to hear about the potential power of the state over individual rights.

Alternately, Corbyn knows his plans will fail & cause big problems. He then blames "the rich" for all the problems*, and gets an excuse for even more left-wing policies and greater state control.
*Not that much different from blaming the Unions's in the 70's in the UK. Like now, it was partly justified and had popular appeal.

A few years back the prevailing view of sociologists was that people took their real -world views, values and morals into cyberspace and social media.
Either that's still the case or it's flipped the other way, and people are taking their cyberspace & social media persona into the real world.
Either is equally worrying.

This has to be the stupidest thing done by the thickest of people or electoral fraud is rife and people think they can simply get away with it.

I don't get it

A Labour official broke the law by posting pics of postal ballots which (a) he shouldn't have and (b) shouldn't be opened or counted until election day.
He posted a picture proving he committed a criminal offence.

@JC said in British Politics:
@Rembrandt he’s an economic moron. He doesn’t get that government bonds are debt.
If they are not inflation-proofed, pay a very low yield and have a 100 yr redemption date, that hardly matters. That's how Labour nationalised the Railways in 1945.
He's still an economic moron in the same league as Gordon "permanent locked-in growth" Brown, though.

I watched the whole interview.
Corbyn is a dangerous far left idealist. (in actual policy)Bring it on.
Sorry UK, you are nominated for "The Experiment"Yep . Take one for the anglospere please . When the Uk descends into the squalor it endured in the 1970s it can be a cautionary tale about the perils of voting in far left weirdos .
