This incompetent Brexiter fails to do the sensible and right thing.
Quote:

Jeremy Corbyn responded today to the Venezuelan crisis but refused to condemn President Maduro and his regime.
The Labour leader denounced “violence that’s been done by any side, by all sides, in all this” and said brutality would not solve the issues facing Venezuela.
He spoke out amid growing pressure among his own MPs to criticise the Latin American leader, who has been accused by the international community of hosting a “sham” ballot and arresting opposition leaders in night-time home raids.

When are Corbyn's cronies going to come out and condemn the state sponsored violence and murder going on in Venezuala? They have so much to say about some things and so little to say about others. Their relative silence and shameful equivocation on this matter says a great deal about them and it isn't very nice.

Oh the beauty of the arguments coming from true 'socialists', is that the socialist issues in Venezuela, they are claiming, is not real socialism. :rolleyes:

Getting pretty grim over there:

Stirring pictures capture the extreme lengths desperate Venezuelans go through to find lost treasure which they will try and sell for cash.

Each morning locals flock to River Guaire's dirty waters, in the country's capital, Caracas, to grab anything that falls through their fingers, be it the back of an earring, a lost ring or other bits of precious metal.

A worsening economic crisis has left locals, who once lived in the richest country in South America, scavenging.

Food has become increasingly hard to find or afford. An estimated 75 percent of Venezuelans lost an average of 19 pounds (8.7 kilograms) last year, according to one recent survey.

Yes, admirers of Corbyn should take a good hard look at Venezuala when contemplating life under his leadership.

I have my alternative destination lined up, just in case.

You dont think much of Britain or it's citizens do you. It'll take more than one man winning an election to turn us into a dirt poor South American crap hole, still I'm sure some people's comments here won't be forgotten next time someone's being berated for talking Britain down or being unpatriotic in the brexit thread

lol, your obsession with the UK somehow turning into Venezuela knows no limits. JC does not plan to nationalise every company and the UK has tons of checks and balances in place and a long history of Parliamentry democracy to counter extremism.
Please stop talking our great nation down.

Well, I remember life under Labour during the 1970s, when Britain became a basket case and had to go cap in hand to the IMF. Do not underestiate the damage this Marxist and his Marxist Chancellor could do to this country, and in a very short time.

Do you really believe you can make life so uncomfortable for the 'rich', whom JC despises, and keep our economy afloat? If the 'rich' take their money elsewhere, you will very soon come to realise that this man is an absolute menace and a threat to our very way of life. Just like they have discovered in Venezuala.

None of my remarks are 'talking our great nation down'. They are actually aiming at keeping our nation great.

You are so wrong. A dangerously incompetent and misguided Prime Minister would do great damage to our economy and all that we hold dear. Let us not sleepwalk into such a nightmare.

There is no comparison. There's a difference between an inefficient Conservative Government (due to its lack of a parliamentary majority), and a reckless Corbyn led government, which would bring the country to its knees in double quick time.

I think the citizens of this country collectively have more sense than to elect him, but what we really need is a Conservative Government with a good majority in Parliament. That is the only way to deal effectively with the problems we face as a nation.

There may well need to be a realignment of politics in this country, but as things stand now, the Conservatives are the only party with any sense of how to get the UK back on its feet. But without a majority in Parliament, it is stymied.
