If Corbyn is so hopeless, how come the Conservatives lead has narrowed so much?

If people wanted to try and stop the Tories getting in - who would they have to vote for......Corbyn.

It's not a matter of whether he is good or not - he's the only viable option to prevent the Tories from getting a majority.

If you are anti Tory - you only have two options, vote for Corbyn despite how hopeless he and his policies are - or throw your vote down the toilet.

An anti Tory protest vote isn't necessarily a vote in support of Corbyn.

I'm in an unusual position. I'm generally quite left wing, economically, and socially pretty liberal. But the idea of a Corbyn government... . Oh, those last two words should be this emoticon:
His support for groups like the IRA, Hamas and Hezbollah. He is supported by George Galloway who actually funded Hamas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYFGIbaabTU
Dianne Abbot, as Home Secretary. A woman who voted against designating Al Qaeda a terrorist organization.
John McDonnell, who recently spoke under the hammer and sickle (knowingly or not), as chancellor.
Jeremy Corbyn, a republican in every sense, a terrorist sympathizer and a rebel MP, as Prime Minister.

I guess their mistake was basing their campaign on Mays personality, but she hasn't got one... the strong & stable one relies upon mindless repetition of slogans

Elections are won on the mindless repetition of slogans. Most people don't follow very closely, so the most they get is a couple of minutes on the news and that is soundbite time. Corbyn is at it too with his 'for the many' bks.

Education, education, education. Winner.
Make America Great Again. Winner.
Are You Thinking What We're Thinking? Clearly not, loser.
Strong and stable?

Good slogans, repeated endlessly win elections.

Also emotive statements like lines for food banks, children in poverty, killing disabled people etc. Appeals to people's base emotions and hard to argue against without looking bad yourself.

Corbyn project is 'just beginning' whatever happens in the election, Labour campaign chief says. 'Whatever happens in the election isn't the end in the Corbyn project, it's only the beginning,' says Labour campaign chief Ian Lavery

That's rather on the early side for an admission of impending defeat.

Let's see how he does tonight

I'm pretty sure Paxman is actually a socialist but has always been very fair in his impartiality

So is it the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end?.

Already avoided the IRA question on the C4 debate

It is not the beginning of the end. It is not even the end of the beginning.
What it is, perhaps, is the end of a bell.

He banging on about the manifesto rather too much, he's a party leader, not a dictator.

Plenty of other issues to highlight

There's absolutely nothing appeeling about him though.

[mickytruelove]

JC: Our offer is we will invest for the future. Invest in the future of our children.

AN: And part of the investing in the future you plan to borrow a lot to do that. How much will you borrow?

JC: What we will do is for the public ownership elements there’ll be an exchange for bonds for shares in it.

AN: What’s a bond?

JC: A government bond?

AN: Yes, it’s a debt instrument. It’s borrowing.

JC: Well, it’s a bond – is a government bond which would be serviced by the income from that service, but in addition we would have control of it.

AN: But you would still have to borrow. Bonds are borrowing. You would borrow.

JC: Take the water industry, for example, which has been a method of siphoning off profits out of this country to offshore companies that made a lot of money at the same time leaving us with expensive water and in some cases very bad levels of pollution.

AN: You would need to borrow – I understand the case but you would need to borrow to buy the utilities.

JC: No, it’s not. It’s a swap of the shares for a government bond.

AN: But if you’re issuing bonds, Mr Corbyn, you’re issuing government debt. You are borrowing.

JC: Issuing bonds that we own which would be paid for by the profits from the industries, so instead of the profits –

AN: You’ve said you would cut the water utilities’ profits. That means you wouldn’t have the money to pay for the bonds.


Corbyn is a moron and so are those who support him.

Reading that, I can picture him in a rock band.
