Current Affairs The Labour Party

[zzr45]

And here is offering to tax himself more than the current government is. He wants to pay his fair share. fair play to him.

Thats a non-sequitur. Him living a comfortable lifestyle but then preaching about the elite to people who live pay cheque to pay cheque is utterly tone deaf.

So he should sack his job off to best help the poor? Maybe we should just let lepers perform surgery. Yous a crazy extremist man.

What he needs to do is buy a van then go round the country making peoples lives better.

In one episode he teaches a middle class family that if they pay more tax the horrible underclass drug dealing family living next door will magically become well liked and respectable neighbours. At the end of each episode he drives away refusing to have supper as he goes on to right the next wrong. It’s like touched by an angel and the littlest hobo combined but just different enough.

We could jazz it up and try in a bit of " Quantum leap " into the mix.

Get the nerds to watch, have Diane Abbot as a hologram giving him advice.

Went to private school (the irony). Bumbled about a bit on gap yahhs when they weren’t a thing. Hasn’t had a proper job. Has a net worth of £3 million, including a house worth about 3 times the national average. Whatever his hobbies and interests are doesn’t particularly matter and the fact you’ve used them as a point to ground him seems odd.

He doesn’t know about the struggle people go through from first hand experience. I have no doubt he has plenty of second hand experience from his time as apparently an exceptional constituency MP. But framing himself as ‘one of us’ when he’s anything but is a bit much.

lol

“gap year” = two years doing VSO
“house worth three times the national average” = a house in London
“net worth of three million” = back of a fag packet calculation from a jarg site you found after googling “net worth of Jeremy Corbyn” (I mean it says he’s “claimed £3 million off the state” ffs)

To be honest, what with Corbyn having an allotment, I'm amazed that there are food issues in the country. I mean what's he playing at? He could take five turnips, a couple of marrow and feed the five thousand.

And the mental gymnastics Gold medal goes to...

He comes from a position of privilege. You cannot escape from that. I find it jarring that he’s painted as a man of the people when he’s anything but. Using your logic we could wave our hands at CEOs and forgive them for their largesse because it’s just par for the course.

Not everyone is so enamoured with Corbyn and his messages as you. Grow up.

What so cos his parents were wealthy it totally negates his own life??

Shut up mate. If anything he has turned his back on his privilege and decided to highlight the very social injustices he was brought up avoiding.

Have you seen his house?

Have you seen his expense claims?

Have you seen him marching with the people of Grenfell?


Sop trying to make out he is something he clearly isnt

To be fair, given how he saved Luke Skywalker from the Tuscan Raiders that time on Tatooine, he might already be ahead of you. Given his fixation, I'm also not entirely convinced that Pete hasn't imagined Abbot in an armoured bikini.

Don't forget the poorly fitting clothes and general shabby demeanour. I'm sure I saw him at PMQs once with a carrot sticking out of his lapel.

..oh yeah because I completely discounted all of that didn’t I?

Oh wait, no. I didn’t.

You get very emotional about things on here don’t you?

I am actually crying at the same time I am laughing at the way he has got you and many other nasties totally rattled.

Oh yeah, I'm totally rattled which is why I'm considering voting for Labour.

I take exception with his constant use of 'we' in speeches when he is addressing the problems faced by the majority of the population. He is not part of that 'we' at all. It's disingenuous. Especially when some of the policies don't particularly seem thought through to a logical conclusion, which in the long run could cause more issues for the 'we' which he isn't part of.

As an example, giving away shares in a company is wonderfully progressive, but what does that do to share prices, dividends etc, what knock on effect does that have on pensions further down the line? I'm sure he'll be fine having earned several times the average wage in the country for a number of years and having a property which if times to get rough for him he can sell. People that are on the thin end of the wedge and will need a secure pension to see them through, maybe not so much.

But, yes, because I don't agree 100% with Corbyn I am a terrible person and should really just slash my wrists.

But whose side are you on?
