    Its amazing to me that almost none of you seem to understand that the recurrence of things like Jeremy Corbyn, the SNP and now the EU vote are a symptom of a complete dissatisfaction with neoliberal politics.

    Jeremy Corbyn was voted in last time and will be voted in next time because people are fed up of being told that everything is wonderful by privileged pre-programmed puppets of the establishment.

    It was entertaining reading all the resignation letters that said "Jeremy you are a principled and upstanding man of integrity but we don't actually want that we would like a smarmy lying Blairite who will help us deceive our way into government and then on to lucrative directorships".

    I couldn't care less that these people have resigned. Good riddance. They deserve a medal for failing to understand the mood of the country.

    Don't usually agree with you but I know a lot of people who feel that way.

    For anyone interested in hearing the opinion of ordinary people about Corbyn outside of the Blairite hive of the PLP and Tory mainstream media.

    You really don't understand that Labour activist are not Labour Voters and large numbers of long term Labour voters do not want Corbyn and this includes many in Labours core areas.

    If Labour want a left wing leader then at least choose one who isn't a disorganised clueless halfwit terrorist sympathiser.
    Many potential and past Labour voters will stay away for this reason.

    I presume that means you and the other Bolly Bolsheviks you hang out with in your million pound houses with a Nissan Qashqai and Ford S-Max in the driveway, and a copy of Caravan Weekly in the letterbox.

    Being a Labour supporter is about more than owning a hat.

    If you don't stand for anything then you fall for everything. The Blairites stand for nothing other than their own career interest and a commitment to a neoliberalism that has already destroyed communities and wrecked lives.

    He's not a leader. He has zero charisma and he can't even read an auto cue.

    Don't worry though because if the public can vote in the Labour Leadership election I, as a Tory voter, will definitely be voting Jezza.

    The resigners will rue today's treachery. As will the Blairite turncoat Watson.

    Corbyn will be re-elected with a large mandate then there will be no hiding places.

    After the next election Corbyn will have a little corner in parliament because so few will be left:D

    Actually, It was Watson who knifed Blair in the back on behalf of Brown - but I wouldn't let get facts get in the way of a good rant.

    Trump is the same thing as is Corbyn, Gurt whatsit from Holland and so on.

    The problem that the antis have is that there isn't really an intellectual idea to form around. Jez we Can or being the daughter of the EU's most famous neo-Nazi doesn't cut it.

    Having said that, Bozza seems to have cracked the code. Are students of political history in 2120 going to be studying Bozzism?
