    Komrade Korbyn will bring true equality.

    We will all be equally poor and equally ****ed in a country equal to Greece economically.

      It will happen - but it will not be Corbyn's fault.

      The last time it happen was 1930. Which was due to inequality.

      Inequality happens until the gap becomes too large. Then everyone suffers.

      The last minor blip was 2008. Caused by too much borrowing. And the solution is more borrowing? Meanwhile inequality increases.

        Yes but many of the new labourites are actually right wing in their views on personal finance etc

        which was why Blair was so popular - right wing policies coming from a left wing party

        so they champagne socialist could appease their 'right on' views and vote labour to make it look like they were left wing when in reality they wanted right wing policies.

        now they are going to get true left wing policies they will be scared

          Perhaps we are on the verge of a new golden age, when Britain will take its place among the worlds successful socialist states, such as -

          ... er..

            Seeing it now to be honest. The bond market collapsing all around us. There's only so many times you can keep repackaging the toxic assets (remember them, don't hear to much about them any more, but they're still in the system) and passing them on as viable products.

            China is in the rick whitter. This puppy is doing down hard and fast.

                And yet all those socialist states where people live in poverty, the leaders are very rich.

                It was the same in Victorian Britain.

                      This article has some real gold in it.
                      Simon Danczuk, the Rochdale MP, told the BBC "the vast majority in the Parliamentary Labour Party... will not like the direction of travel" if the left-winger wins.
                      Of course. Those who like that direction of travel are not electable in most constituencies.

                      He said MPs are "not the entirety of the Labour Party",
                      And you, sir, will continue this trend by reducing the number of MPs in the Labour Party.

                      Mr Corbyn, who has voted against the Labour leadership on hundreds of occasions since his election as the MP for Islington North, in London, in 1983, said he had always rebelled on a point of principle.
                      You did that on points of principle, but if people who disagree with you and do it on points of principle you'll use "democracy" against them? Ok....

                      Mr Corbyn has admitted meeting controversial Lebanese activist Dyab Abou Jahjah - who is banned from the UK over his views on the Middle East.
                      Mr Corbyn said he met "many thousands of people" and that "doesn't mean that I share their views".
                      Ms Abbot added: "To try and build a case on the basis of guilt by association is very wrong".
                      Dear Ms Abbot

                      Mr Corbyn is not guilty because of his association with some Lebanese activist. His association with you, however, is particularly blameworthy.
