Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 
Left wing excuses list:

1: Blame the "biased" media for reporting unfavourably
2: Blame the "fooled" electorate for voting the wrong way
3: Blame Thatcher

To be fair however, there is a Right wing excuses list too


1: Blame the "biased" media for reporting unfavourably
2: Blame the "fooled" electorate for voting the wrong way
3: Blame the EU

SELF-styled “erratic Marxist” Yanis Varoufakis who was forced to resign as finance minister after Greece plunged into a debt crisis, has secured a new role advising the opposition Labour Party.

Jeremy Corbyn, who has sought to take the party of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown further to the left since he became leader in 2015, said Varoufakis would advise Labour in "some capacity" due to his experience from dealing with the European Union.

That's really going to enhance their economic credibility. :nutter:

Yet another of those very inconvenient truths the usual suspects like to skirt around. They have to cling at straws mind you, they have Corbyn and McDonnell at the helm... :rofl:

The Chancellor told the House: “Frankly, the fact that the Labour Party is now getting its advice from Yanis Varoufakis and the revolutionary Marxist broadcaster Paul Mason does not suggest to me that they have got an answer to economic security.

“Presumably they chose those two because Chairman Mao was dead and Mickey Mouse was busy.”

Well it is rather bizarre but then anyone who grew up in the 1970's is fully aware of the sort of nonsense Labour got up to. It's the usual suspects just proving how they've learned nothing.

NEW Labour's “light touch” regulation on the banking industry caused the financial collapse that nearly bankrupted Britain, according to Jeremy Corbyn.

The current Labour leader attacked his predecessors for “outsourcing economic policy to the City of London” during their time in Government.

It is a move bound to anger a lot of his own MPs, many of whom insist the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown governments were not to blame for the 2008 crash.

Well we had "old" labour that still do not understand the FACT they broke the back of UK industry and manufacturing with constant strikes.

We have "new" labour the caused a massive financial crisis and dragged us into war but refuse to acknowledge or admit it.

Now we have (as yet un-named) labour with clueless policies waiting to cause a as yet unknown calamity on us. I would lol but it's not funny.

Good article in the Spectator: Britain needs a museum of communist terror
Quote:
as many as 100 million have died from communism alone.

But awareness of this is fading. The generation that has grown up since the collapse of the Berlin Wall does not seem to understand the connection between communism and terror. Today, they are able to think that communism is the ultimate form of egalitarianism, a perfectly amiable ideology. In Britain and America, the far left is experiencing a surge of popularity.

Oh yes, over time those on the red side of the political equation have shown themselves to have as great a liking for extreme nastiness towards anyone who doesn't share their views as any right wing lunatic.

Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle
 
I just don't understand how Corbyn can think he is the voice of the working class. He grew up just down the road from me in Newport Shropshire an his family home was Yew Tree Manor house. A huge 7 bedroom mansion and he attended the private school that's costs a fortune per term to attend.

He then goes into journalism becoming chief reporter for a newspaper then politics, all the time being a very wealthy man. He has no idea of being poor, living on a extremely tight budget would be an alien concept to him.

Here is yew tree manor , an the fox pub opposite does a lovely Sunday dinner lol. So I'm not sure how intouch he can be with inner city working class.

Indeed. A Professor of Economic Theory, economic advisor to a multinational, and author of books on economics and game theory is a foolish choice to oppose the policies of the Conservative Chancellor and his 2:1 in Modern History.

Clearly not credible.

You may not agree with Varoufakis' politics, I don't, but he knows what he's talking about with regards to economics and rather than even for a moment giving credence to The Sun's implication that Varoufakis was responsible for Greece's debt crisis I'd recommend doing some reading.

He was forced out because he tried to resist the blood letting that Greece is going through now. His attempts to oppose the Troika were undermined by his own side - had he had his way Greece would likely have exited the Euro as it would've had an alternative to having the ECB strangulate its banks and subjugate its economy. As it was Syriza's, frankly, cowardice and delusion ensured he wasn't able to pursue a fallback plan.

LABOUR’S top donors have abandoned the party since Jeremy Corbyn became leader.

Figures show 24 of the 30 most generous backers have given nothing since his election in September.

But they have ploughed £140,000 into the private offices of past or future leadership rivals.

It will fuel rumours of a snap leadership challenge if Labour flop in May’s local elections.

Keep an eye on that shifty looking Brutus, Jezza.:D
