Just watched the full speech. Not sure he's the idiot portrayed and I'm right of genghis Kahn. I don't buy it but others will and it sounded sensible.
Time to start worrying. He'll win in labour strongholds.
But he'll tax me to death.

Politicians have the knack of making ludicrous policies 'sound' sensible.
Think about what he said, put it altogether and you'll realise that it's actually moronic.

He's not, but at least you didn't take up much bandwidth on that incorrect but pithy and to the point comment.
If only other people could be totally wrong in such an efficient way. At least you are leading the way.

Winning in Labour safe seats is irrelevant, he needs to win marginals from the SNP and the Cons; his prospects of doing this are getting smaller, not bigger.Time to start worrying. He'll win in labour strongholds.

For all labours current failings, im disappointed that either the Lib dems or UKIP havnt stepped up to fill the potential void.
As much as Corbyn appeals to some with similar ideology, i feel UKIP could have rebranded and changed direction after their perceived winning taking us to Brexit.
A simple change of policy and some obvious following could have seen UKIP quickly emerge as the second biggest party in the UK. Not only increasing voting numbers but seats.
So as much as watching Corbyn take labour in a direction i fell is both funny and damaging to Labour. Theirs a sense of disappointment that other parties havnt stepped into this perceived void left by labour voter numbers reducing.

UKIP are, were and always will be a complete and utter joke!
99.99% of the country wouldn't be able to name a single person linked to them except for Farage and possibly Kilroy-Silk. They were a one policy party that dressed up a few other soundbites to give themselves the makings of a completely unfunded manifesto.
Brexit didn't happen because people wanted UKIP anywhere near Westminster. It happened because people were hacked off with the establishment. Now that Brexit has been secured, is it any real surprise that Nigel has left the sinking ship? He's the only politically astute one of the whole bunch, and he knows it has nothing more it can give him.

They have in the past taken a reasonably proportion of the vote.
As such I feel they had the opportunity to pick up a larger percentage of the vote and become the second largest party.
I wasn't stating what policys of theirs I may or may not agree with.
Only that they are missing an opportunity.

So instead of limiting migrant numbers, he says he plans to "harmonise wages across Europe".
Yeah good luck with getting a £7 minimum wage in the Eastern bloc
If he gets in power he could easily and probably would harmonise wages. Achieve by destroying our economy and ultimately lowering our wages in line with the eastern block.Yeah good luck with getting a £7 minimum wage in the Eastern bloc

The left love the EU project because one of its main effects is wealth redistribution, transferring wealth from countries which have worked hard and become stable to the basket cases (often the ex communist / socialist ones naturally). Is socialism a virus?
I always thought Corbyn was a life-long anti-EU?Guybrush said:
