Corbyn Bang To Rights By Virgin CCTV

[GB9]

He should have filmed on peak time Bham to London Virgin Trains - totally packed and tickets like £170 return

£170 return? What about using the £28 option. Or even booking in advance?

Did they ask his permission:

The sole purpose was to advocate putting the railways back in public hands. Not withstanding that the only loss making part of it is in public hands (Network Fail). Or that when it was the service was abysmal.

We all know how these Champagne Socialists really travel once in power....

Did they ask his permission:

Did he ask permission before filming what amounts to a party political broadcast on one of their trains?

Why would he have to as the film maker was working for the Guardian so they would have had to ask for permission:

Freelance filmmaker Yannis Mendez, who is working for the Guardian to follow Corbyn

Do you want to state to Mr C's lawyers that he did the pig?

Gordon Brown fold our gold at bottom price. And from memory, he boiled out RBS in the first place, or did you forget that?

I love you moronic Labour voters. You'll keep me in entertainment until my dying day. And I'm hoping to have quite a few before I go.

I think you misunderstand. I'm not defending Corbyn and am not and never have been, a labour voter.

What I'm saying is that, in the media and in the minds of the voters, Corbyn's little train video seems more important than anything else that's happening in the country. It appeared on the news last night before the stuff about NHS shortages causing the suspension of services. What do you think is the more important of the two ?

What do you think is the more important ... ?

More important than the man who, however unlikely, wants to be our Prime Minister caught red-handed telling lies?

Not much really.

Of course, all politicians are bare faced liars, and of course this is the Press having a feeding frenzy and something pretty trivial in the overall scheme of things. But it goes to the character of the man who's attempted to portray himself as above all this crap.

Well that's not quite true for the East Coast Main Line which was in public ownership until quite recently (after National Express messed it up). It ran very nicely and made a tidy profit for the treasury.
