What left wing extreme radical polices was in there manifesto ?

Good question.

 

[Damocles]

You don't think Corbyn is extreme left wing?

No, I think Joseph Stalin was extreme left wing.

I think Corbyn is a far left socialist.

 

[worsleyweb]

Those aren't extreme left wing. Most of them are just left wing.

Nationalizing the water industry was a far left proposal for example

Nationalising industry again was simply a joke.

Really, is it more or less left wing than nationalising the railways?

Scemantics. In today's political world - he is too left wing to be elected. He is holding labour back. With Burnham in power for example they would have won.

Rail is a very good and very popular idea which would cost almost nothing.

Water is bonkers

A fair society for all!

Dropping all tuition fees when we have a huge defecit. No cap on immigration. Increasing public sector spend. Tax rises for the principle employers in this country - i.e small businesses. That's just for starters.

As this man has said on question time just said - there have been no cuts. There has been control of expenditure - as was completely necessary

Nothing to extreme i say.

They are the opposistion - they HAVE to have some different policy's.

Control of expenditure is a very blasé way of avoiding the word cuts.

Can't comment on the rail as I don't know enough about it.

Like Attlee? Like Harold Wilson?

"For the Tories to legitimise their actions in a last ditch effort to hold onto to power is an abysmal showing."

Agreed Geoff!

There have been no cuts as such. There has been a limit on spend year on year to control an out of control defecit. The public sector got too bloated under the last labour government. I would love a good opposition. Corbyn does not provide that- he couldn't even win when handing out money like a drunken lottery winner.

You are aware of the SNP background before its fanciful mainstream makeover, I assume?

Did they have Kalashnikov's?

You are chatting shit.

No I am not. It is a fact.

Kensington has gone labour by 20 votes

Did they have McKalashnikov's?

Sorted.....

I think it's bonked that we don't own our own water supply!

Yeah you are. Unless you like having 2 libraries instead of 10 per authority ran by volunteers instead of staff, social workers with stupid high case loads, no frontline services for young people to help them with sexual health etc you are chatting absolute bollocks.
