The point is, the man is revelling in the disaster caused by irresponsible actions of other politicians, politicians from his own party. As for this Marxist fantasy , what a great succes the Soviet Union was, and Venezuela and North Korea are.

Heck, he is supposed to be a Corbynista, I'd reckon Delusionista is more accurate.

He is certainly wrong - the system isn't perfect but it's by far the best option available.

He's also even more wrong when you consider the root cause of the US sub-prime timebomb which created the crash; left wing, economically illiterate politics.

Indeed, Carter's Communities Refinancing act, Initiated by Clinton. A piece of lunacy that lent on postcode as against ability to repay, all imposed on the Banks by the two state clearing Houses, Fannie and Freddie.

What I find disturbing is that this quiet spoken, polite and seemingly pleasant man is feted to be in charge of the finances of the country, and the populace (or should I say 'masses') are blissfully ignorant of the man's true beliefs.

Perhaps it is not a great idea that a potential (albeit astonishingly unlikely) chancellor of the exchequer should be pleased that many millions of people should suffer, to make a political point?

I know to the left ideology is all, proving Marx correct is an overriding concern, to most normal people it is far less important than having a job.
The thought that someone who is paid handsomely to represent the people would rejoice at such an event is just abhorrent.

Or is this why Labour destroy the economy each and every-time they are in power? They WANT it to happen to confirm their own bigotry?
Does this not really just sum up the left, confirm that in a battle between their rigid ideology and the lives of the ordinary working man, the ideology wins every time?

The man is a mendacious, treasonous, dangerous fool who has no place being in charge of the paperclips at the TUC let alone in a position of power.

He's bloody good at being two faced. Sure all politicians say different things to different audiences but he has mastered this art. When he's on shows like QT he comes across as a sensible chap. Yet put him amongst his comrades and it's a different story,

Ever since the Useless Idiots raise to power, I have always been more worried by his nasty little envious side kick, he is the real danger. In some ways he reminds me of Himmler,a mediocre, unimpressive nobody that no one pays much attention to until he gains power. The most alarming aspect to all of these far left wing aholes is their blind faith in the ideology and their convection to the 'ends justify the means' Millions of innocent people in the USSR suffered at the hands of these awful, nasty, envious vengeful little turds.

Heard him on the wireless, spouting lots of "We won the augument" bks.

Spare a thought for poor old John. He's spent his career as the puppet master trying to make his worker's paradise a reality, thought he was so close, only for his dream to come crashing down in December. Now he and his comrades will spend the rest of their career in back bench obscurity (or if RLB wins, front bench obscurity).

Since in Mcdonnels fantasy world people are all equal, will he cut his parliamentary salary down to the same level as most of the rest of us, or will all us plebs have our salaries raised to the same level as his? Rhetorical question by the way

Indeed, I wonder how for example, brain surgeons, or airline / military pilots who have undergone years of difficult training to develop their undoubted skills, not to mention the colossal responsibilities their job carries, will feel about the person who decides they don't particularly like working getting exactly the same remuneration? But of course we are all equal aren't we?

They tend to be killed, don't they?
