Given that decades of successive governments have failed to implement this I rate a Corbyn administrations attempts a big fat zero.

Dream on Gary.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership

I rate Corbyn's chances of forming a government similarly slim...

You both need to be a bit more optimistic.

I seem to recall Brown telling us it'd all work out in the end year after year - maybe Gary was his speech writer.

Meanwhile back in Corbyn's fantasy party on which everyone has a different opinion on everything, John McDonnell reckons:

"another world is possible"

Just as long as it's not the 'world' he's living on...

Yes our reality of austerity and the mega rich getting richer is a much nicer land and anyone that dares complain let alone do something about it is clearly a loony, after all we've tried to sort these corporations out before and got nowhere as you said. It's not that politicians just paid lip service to sorting them whilst trousering directorships to those very corporations is it.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership

Corbyn's speech was ok, obviously well received in the hall but you wonder how well it will do outside of it.

I have to say I do like some of his domestic policy. The idea that we should embark on a huge housing program which would also have the effect of reducing housing benefit is a good one and it's a problem the Tories have largely ignored. At some point you would think people would crack and just vote for anybody who would help them find a home. I also liked his very public condemnation of the Cyber-trolls. There is nothing to suggest he has a credible approach to policy other than idealistic visions of what could be and his foreign policy is still a mess at best and disastrous at worst though.

Generally he does seem genuine and nice. It makes the attacks on him look vindictive and petty so the Tories will have to be careful now they handle it. There could be a similar effect to Farage where he gets a free pass on having batty populist nonsense for policy because of his persona and people instinctively warm to him.

Yes there was some reasonable stuff in there but alas one suspects some will knock it no matter what he says.

I quite agree. I very much like Corbyn's character, I just don't agree with his policies, ideology and have great mistrust of the people around him.

It's the opposite situation you usually have with politicians.

Re: [Update] Jeremy Corbyn wins Labour Leadership

What I heard all sounded either extremely naïve, perhaps intentionally so. I find it hard to reconcile the sort of language Corbyn's recently been getting applauded for and the sort of language the likes of McDonnell have issued forth over the years.

Let's be fair, if he'd painted himself blue and wore a Vote Conservative T-shirt you'd of still felt the need to have a pop . It's getting a bit boring/predictable now.

Cheers

He's much more relentless, tedious and annoying than Arthur, to the point it turns me away from this site.

Just saying....
