I don't think he's keen on big business either. Proper left-wingers aren't, they want to nationalise things.

Well, duh. Left wing government wants to take more from the rich to support big business whilst keeping the proles in their place.. hardly a surprise.

FTFY

This economic masterplan seems to be somewhat reliant on taxing stuff.

Jeremy Corbyn will tax the wealthy as he unveils his economic masterplan

As he soars 17 points ahead in the latest poll, Jeremy Corbyn is about to announce his plans to tax the wealthy as he sets out his economic plans. His plan will include:
• Raise taxes on wealthier households and businesses
• Massively reduce corporate tax relief and subsidies, and use the extra revenue to establish a National Investment Bank that will promote infrastructure upgrades and support innovation
• A crackdown on tax avoidance and evasion, including stricter rules for small businesses
• Reversing the cuts to staff in HMRC and at Companies house, to make it easier for HMRC to collect more taxes
• Country-by-country reporting for multinational corporations

This economic masterplan seems to be somewhat reliant on taxing stuff.

I wonder if the other 3 will merge their campaigns to stop his bandwagon?

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."

" this Government is getting right behind them.""

Well, he isn't lying about it. Just not telling the whole truth...

Actually we do not. My point is if there is anything to feel guilty about then it needs to be proven rather than assumed. I think we British have far more to be proud of than ashamed of and we do not owe anything to the rest of the world. That includes any right to live here.

Balls!

I'm saying the jewel entrusted, marble floored greatness beauty and wonder of the UK has in part come from the exploitation of our empire. Said former subjects of said empire want to migrate here (because it is nice), and maybe MAYBE we should be more welcoming. That is my generalisation, or rather my moral question! Do I personally feel guilty; no. But I have migrant DNA so maybe I don't see the sweeping generalisation that migrants are bad.

I think you will find that building materials used in the UK have been paid for. Who said migrants are bad?

Talking of bejewelled marble palaces do you mean like this? Inside the crumbling palaces of Africa
