I have neither the intellect, nor the nous, to make a better life for myself and my family, but I will cheerfully stand on the sidelines, hurling abuse, while other malcontents throw stones at the windows of those who did okay by possessing some intellect and nous, and if the country gets damaged in the process, I’ll shrug, and smirk “So what?” to my posse in Wetherspoons.
What on earth are you wibbling on about?

Corbyn doesn't want to fk the country. Why would he want to do that? He and his fellow travellers do want to fk the wealthy, and in attempting to do the latter he is likely to do the former.
To clarify my thoughts, I was thinking he would target the wealthy which would sadly and undoubtedly have an effect on the entire country.

And if you want to see a man squirm like he's been electrocuted, dig out the film of him being asked to outline what sort of income would mean you were 'wealthy'.

He is not short of a few quid himself yet still portrays himself as a man of the people. By most standards he would be in the 'wealthy' category anyway.

Sit down Jeremy, you're making a fool of yourself now
a comment on this video on order-order said:
"This way Jeremy, you sit yourself down there love, your lunch will be coming soon."

"I'm the Leader of the Labour Party, I am..."

"Yes, of course you are dear"

"I'll be Prime Minister soon..."

"Yes, you will won't you, now stop flicking your soup at Theresa, you know it upsets her"

A few of my mates on good-but-fairly-normal incomes are looking really forward to him tackling the wealthy.

They haven't appreciated that they're exactly the sector who're going to get properly thumped! Comfortable, and 'able to give more' but certainly not about to 'off-shore' anything to get round it.

"Piers & Jeremy" don't sound like brothers who grew up in a ghetto.

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I understand it he inherited about £1.2m when one of his parents died and stands to inherit another large wedge when the other one goes, the large country house he grew up in in Shropshire (with servants at the family's beck and call) must be worth a fair few sovs. He's a hypocrite, plain and simple. He's been on an MP's salary which is roughly three times the national average for what, forty years or more...? He's now paid c.£140k as 'leader' of the opposition and has said that anyone who earns more than £70-80k is 'rich' but doesn't include himself in this category. For the many not the few my Aris'.

I watched Gove's speech last night, I'm no fan of his but it was a wonderful oratory, sincere, passionate and above all accurate - Corbyn's dumbstruck face was a picture throughout (particularly when Gove got to the laying the wreath at the grave of one of the Munich Olympic terrorists part) and Tom Watson looked distinctly embarrassed. As mentioned previously by other posters, Corbyn is simply too thick to think on his feet and doesn't realise when he's being played, he doesn't possess a single redeeming feature and is clearly not fit to run a corner shop, much less an entire country. Sooner or later he will have to give definitive answers to some important questions which will reveal just how weak and spineless he is.

I think no deal is not a good idea however I simply don't understand how you can demand it be removed. It is the default if nothing is agreed, what's being asked is to change the default, well to what?! Some sort of deal maybe? It's clear that A50 means you have to leave, you can't change the default to staying and you can't have a deal as a default unless everyone agrees to the deal so the default has to be no deal...

Surely regardless of your views that's simple logic? You can't take the default off the table, then you need a new default...

The way I'd read it is that if by fking the rich he were to fk the country - that'd be a price worth paying...

If I only had twenty quid at the time he came to power I'd "off-shore" it on point of principle. Steptoe isn't getting my money nor is he getting the opportunity to devalue it away.

Not only that, but his only outgoings have been 1 suit and 1 bicycle in those forty years or more.

And maybe whatever Diane could eat. Perhaps he does have a point...

£650K seems very "reasonable" considering what it is. Is there a huge chav estate hiding behind it or something?

Billy Bragg looks like a younger Corbyn. Have Momentum got some sort of cloning operation going on?



Edit:

Come to think of it, Owen Jones looks like a baby-faced Corbyn. There's definitely something going on.

Why does Owen always look like a petulant little twerp who's about to spit the dummy out all the time?

Erm, same reason Mike Tyson looks like a double-hard bd?

They don't think it will. Every other time that someone tried it, and that happened, well, they were doing it wrong. It wasn't real socialism. Well, it was, right up until the point it went wrong, and then it wasn't and never had been. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

I wonder if McDonell would secretly love to get his sticky paws on his fellow comrade's millions, all in the name of fairness of course...
