Jeremy Corbyn announces £10bn plan to scrap university tuition fees

[PurpleGorilla]

If you read David Aarnovich in the Times today he likens people like you to russell brand and all the other new parties of the left and right that have sprung up as a reaction in much the same way as you view things.

David Abramovich is an idiot..

[MicrosoftBob]

How dare you malign David Cameron like that?

The prime minister has praised the 1.4m individuals in the UK who have ditched the comfort of a regular wage to go freelance.




Cameron should have added "With our trousers down and a can of lube at the ready."

Except they tax the lube as a benefit in kind

David Abramovich is an idiot..

Why? Explain.

[PurpleGorilla]

Why? Explain.

The soft squidy middle ground is a Petri dish for exploitation. Take free market capitalism and they plutocracy it has created. All this BS about the playing field getting levelled is rubbish. We are the prolles, and the elite is becoming ever richer. Today if you go on a protest you get kettled, photographed, and branded. That is why the young don't rebel. Not because there isn't anything to rebel against. But because big brother will destroy your life if you do!

If there's not enough work to go round, keeping people out of work until they're 21 means more work to go round for everyone else

That is a Russell brand whine made worse by the fact that like Brand you are a wealthy beneficiary of the system you so despise. The word I think to describe people like you is hypocrite.
Aarnovich says

"We could split everything up, the Westminster bubble could be pricked, Brussels bureaucracy could be sacked, the edifice of neoliberalism brought down, and in the words of Owen Jones - the Dorian Gray who has Russell Brand in his attic- "the era of Merkel and the machine men can be ended" And in their places would arise...
What?

So Aarnovich at least has the wit and intelligence (as do most people - except people like you) to ask the question what do you replace everything with?

Anyone can whine (like you) but you cannot offer any sort of alternative. You know this and you would dread a Corbyn getting into power because he would ravage your "elitist" earnings and put an end to the freedoms enjoyed by contractors. You think you are being clever with your anti establishment rhetoric. You are not. You are simply a hypocrite that likes to think he is a bit cool.

I personally like the Norway model. Politicians are better integrated and more modest. It is a high tax, high welfare, high achieving society. Sure it's not perfect, but it looks better to me. Sovereign wealth fund. EU trade agreements. And all the herring you can eat!

Totally off topic, and not many people noticed it, but the Tories have ensured they won't get a single vote in northern England in 2020. After the 2015 votes were in, the immediately announced all plans for a high speed HS3 northern rail line would be scrapped. "Northern Powerhouse" got them some northern votes this time, even mentioned in the Queens speech. Then flushed down a chemical toilet at Conservative HQ.

On topic yeah obviously Corbyn is Michel Foot and great for every party but Labour. I thought they would have progressed to a Neil Kinnock stage by now. But no, their Kinnock is still to come, and after that a candidate people can actually vote for in 2025, which will probably be a Kendalite or David Milliband.

No-one has cared about the North since before Henry 8th. You lot really should march on the shandy drinking southerners and relocate parliament to up north...

Yes simply because it has a huge money tree that few other countries have. It does not have to support a population made up of ethnically diverse people.
