Very very wrong there.

Read the Labour manifesto about unions everywhere, unlimited benefits for all, no measure or cap on immigration, 16 yr old voters, massive corp tax increases, income tax increases....

UK will literally collapse with mass unemployment, endless strikes, and immigration overload.

A financial collapse will happen with terrifying speed. We'll fast forward through the decade of the 1970s within days rather than years, because back then there was no electronic trading just guys in top hats waving bits of paper in the air.

What are we going to do, if we end up with Komrade Korbyn or some dystopian LibLabGreen coalition?



I'm thinking, house on the market next day, cash-in and live in the sun somewhere cheap and watch the economic car crash / fallout from afar.

Hang on a sec here. Just a month ago, the consensus among you lot, especially you DP, was that Corbyn had absolutely zero chance of winning.

Now suddenly, you are plotting a plan B in case he come to power?
