Dear God. Imagine being so distant form reality that you think calling an election is rigging the system.

Also to cite an example of a large company avoiding tax, but not be able to produce either an accurate fact or even a definite name. Shocking.

Dreadful, not able to form any kind of argument.

My daughter goes to Grammar school. The nearest 3 are in Chatham and Rochester so hardly wealthy area's, and IIRC they operate a catchment area. The one in Rochester is excellent.
O/T but I went to Chatham Boys Grammar, though I think it's called something else now
Its still in Chatham though smile

There are actually about 6 Grammar schools in the area IIRC. Most other parents we meet are local, and pretty average working families which is to be expected when you have grammar schools in a deprived area.

What kind of mouthbreather is persuaded by this infantile virtue signalling? Standing up in front of the faithful and giving them lazy capitalism-bashing is just bubble politics. He might as well include a clause in the manifesto saying he's going to induce flight of capital. What's worse is that on the day he comes out with this ste TM comes out with an equally bks talking point in the form of perpetuating the nonsensical, heretofore impossible-to-achieve and economically insane pledge to reduce immigration to tens of thousands. He's completely hopeless and the sooner he is defenestrated and an effective opposition leader installed the better; unfortunately there are no candidates so HIGNFY's tub of lard should be drafted in until someone competent can be found.

I am particularly enjoying the Labour soundbite that the economy is rigged for the benefit of the elite.

I wish I could find out how it is, because then I could have skipped the working hard to get great grades; working hard to get into the best university; working hard to get the best job; working hard to earn promotions; working hard to earn bonuses; working hard to buy a house; working hard to improve that house; working hard to provide for my family; working hard to set up a business; working hard to ensure I can provide create careers for my staff.

Getting a Masters, hammering myself for 30 years of often 100 hour weeks: I needn't have bothered because it is all laid on for me, apparently.

God, that was funny.

It is a wonder that she manages to work out how to leave the house in the morning, she's so thick.
It's not funny it's an embarrassment and Im not even a labour voter.
Absolute moron.

the higher expectations of pupils that are routinely found in grammars.
What happens when pupils don't meet those expectations, are they placed back in the secondary/comp system? I guess part of that is validated for by the entrance criteria in the first place, so the situation may not even arise. I guess I'm thinking mainly of behaviour and general wanting-to-be-there-ness.

Even the worst school would improve greatly if it could jettison its detritus, unfortunately that's not an generally option in the state system.

He speaks of what he knows; after failing to graduate he goes into local politics, leaving no trace as he rises to the heady heights of constituency MP, treads water for 30 years while living it up as a member of the vlasti, then in the aftermath of a decade-long decline followed by an orgasmic eruption of self-harm the Labour Party picks him as the gravedigger of mainstream british socialism. What is this if not an elite feathering its own nest, albeit a diseased elite with a deathwish?

Its from his own experience : (from another site)

"....Corbyn was raised in a seven bedroomed manor house, went to prep and grammar school (and failed to get into university on account of his laziness and mediocre intelligence) and spent his entire 'working life' in politics spouting whatever slogans were currently popular in his social group.

Speaking out against racism and supporting the IRA weren't brave positions for a London based Labour politician in the Eighties, they were conformist. Standing up for Jews and recognising the concerns of Loyalists would have been brave which is why Corbyn did neither.

The man has avoided responsibility all his life, has accomplished not one single notable political achievement despite being an MP for 34 years and now, such is his arrogance, thinks himself able to govern the country...."

He is part of the elite!

I'm constantly amazed at the support he attracts from the Social Justice brigade considering he's a white, male, career politician who's never experienced real work or hardship in his life. I'm not entirely certain he's ever achieved that much prior to the leadership other than waving a few placards from time to time and shagging Diane Abbott. The BBC had him giving a speech earlier to 'invited members'; he's going to have to do better than that if he wants even a sniff of success in June.
The only thing I vaguely admire about him is his tenacity and refusal to stand down despite the admin vortex and chaos around him. As you suggest though, arrogance is a key part of the man, and that may well be why he refuses to disappear, much like a turd that won't flush.

He can always rely on the token working class MP Dennis Skinner to keep it real. The fact is so many of Labour MP's do not have a socialist upbringing from poor inner cities families. They do however feel it their duty to represent the poor and downtrodden masses.

I think you're giving them praise they probably don't deserve there!

He's also a tax evader. he's been caught out on his last two tax returns alone!

That's not the case but it's actually worse than that. His party is just utterly useless.

So you release your tax return as leader of the opposition, you've got to expect that it will be gone over with a fine tooth comb.

There is a query on it, the papers ask the Labour press office about it. Who then go silent for 12hours or something stupid. In the mean time as they haven't responded the press prints the article.

Labour finally wake up and go "er, sorry that figure was just in a different place, here is why" but *after* it's all been reported.

Labour (and Corbyn) are just incompetent. Either they didn't expect that people were going to go over it and failed to plan accordingly or just are unable to respond in a timely fashion.

Of course this is all a press smear by those nasty media moguls and nothing to do with being utterly disorganised and unable to formulate a timely response.

Their new catchphrase 'Tories rigging democracy'. All they do is sound bite sneering. They have yet to provide any details to show how their policies will be paid for.

In fairness, they can't say how their policies will be paid for until they say what their policies actually are!
