Whatever Corbyn may be, he appears to have some principles, which among the leaders of the other two main parties makes him unique.
I’m frankly amazed at some of the responses here, they could have been copied and pasted from any Murdoch rag.
Why so worried about Corbyn’s reluctance to see coppers allowed to shoot to kill as and when they feel like it (check what he actually said, not the tory press interpretation), if it wasn’t for successive Labour and Tory govts of the past 40 years the country wouldn’t find itself harbouring thousands of 5th columnists, nor would it have found itself in the unenviable position of wondering just what to do about them, especially when we’ve been bombing the crap out of and killing their brethren in Iraq and Libya and as soon as Dave can get his vote, this time round, we’ll be off for a jolly old regime change in Syria too.
Some real brains running this once fine country eh, import the enemy, then start killing their civilian brethren by the thousand, then be shocked when they fight back the only way they can, Common sense not on the curriculum at Eton?
Corbyn was anti EU for years, as was the real Labour Party the one that represent working class people, he’s changed his tune to suit the more tory than the tories nu labour mob he’s inherited from Lucifer Blair and his not so merry band of demons, that was a mistake and he’ll come to regret it IMO.
As one poster in particular has pointed out, it might be worth actually listening to what the man says, and not rely on some Murdoch stooge’s bit quoting and taking out of context propaganda broadcast.
He’s hated because he’s not another identikit talking head from the Eton/Oxbridge clone factory that Labour Lib and Tory parties get them from by the dozen, no bugger knows what to do about him, can he be bought like the others? dunno but so far he’s got them all running round like headless chickens, their despising of him proves he’s doing something right, so as far as i’m concerned he’ll do for now.
By the way, out of interest i haven’t voted lib lab or con for over 20 years, mainly because there isn’t a ■■■ paper between them, though i do vote every time, UKIP for the last 5 years, and i haven’t bought a newspaper for over 30 years nor do i watch listen to or read any of the bought and paid for mainstream media, especially i will not watch the state broadcaster spouting it’s 24/7 propaganda…try it sometime, find your national and world news elsewhere, it’s surprisingly liberating and allows one to think for oneself again.
In view of which who needs a socialist pacifist commy zb like Corbyn and what would he do that fixes all of the above.Make no mistake stopping Jihad is all about stopping and kicking out the Jihadist invasion of Europe and threatening the Saudis and Iran with strategic nuclear attack.While stopping the Russians and Chinese from walking all over us is all about being prepared to end it all by pressing the button and not contributing to China’s military build up.
