    Fair point but if the current cluster whatsit isn't enough to bring voters round to Mr C then it's hard to see what will.

    Let's face it, if you want to vote against the Establishment you'd be better off with UKIP than the Labour toffs.
    Oh Really! Instead of worrying whether Corbyn is electable or not I'm more concerned about what the scum that are in power are up to!

    The "scrum"!

    So, using your language, if the scrum are on top does that mean you favour the dredges?
    Union, not Disunion

    I have a Right Wing and a Left Wing.
    It's the only way to fly straight.

    Yes I meant to put "scum" --- this damn predictive text!

    I've personally encountered both fair-minded and reasonable people, and complete scumbags, at every level of society and in every income bracket.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    It doesn't seem like the hard working folk of the UK are fooled by the public schoolboys that run the Labour Party. Nice attempt at deflection though. 10/10 for effort.

    is that the same scum that supported the IRA
    that wants to honour the bombers and killers
    that thought that 50-60 million murdered by Mao was, on balance, a good thing
    that thinks the Paris killers died for their cause

    I wonder if they'll be deflected by today's poor growth figures, or perhaps the present crisis in the NHS, or perhaps the even worse crisis in Social Care or perhaps even Cameron's self interested and contortionistic attempts to square his own party on Europe. I assume you are clearly abreast of all the latest news regarding 'hard working UK folk'.... down there in Sydney.!:rotfl:

    We have a thing called the internet in Australia which allows us to keep abreast of events across the world. It's excellent. I suggest you try it.

    It's worth noting that despite all the problems facing the country, Mr Corbyn's Labour is coming very firmly second. Mr Corbyn's stupidity will result in Ms May, Mr Osborne or Bozza becoming the next PM.

    And the economy would have been flying under labour?

    If anything this is proof the deficit reduction needs pursuing more aggressively. Public spending and borrowing must be cut

    Do you think the population is stupid enough to believe things would be better under Corbyn?
    Left is never right but I always am.
