Corbynomics: A Dystopia

Mistermeaner

Without wishing to do a Clapton broken record i thought you were engaged in some level of discussion with the labour hierarchy?

I cannot find a link to it, but the following 'number crunching' from the current issue of Private Eye is telling around MPs support for leaders over the years:

54% in 1990 for Thatcher, who then stood down;

49.9% for Callaghan in 1979, who had to step down;

45% for IDS in 2003, who had to step down; and

17.4% for Corbyn in 2016, who is refusing to stand down!

Blairite Fifth Columnists and Tory Turncoats Watson, Eagle and Kinnock (who should really know better) have set their course against Corbyn.

They will fail.

And then they will scurry like desperate voles. Running from the swooping owl of socialism.

Squeak squeak squeak squeak. Flap. Chomp.

is that 95% of the UK population that you passionately hate (sadly including your parents and grandparent)?

Let's all acknowledge the obvious truth: economics, unlike its physic-y-sounding name which is a bit like acoustics/optics/mechanics/electronics/dynamics is actually just money-astrology.

Austerity isn't a physically necessary phenomenon like gravity or entropy.

The whole story that "it's all sums" is just a way of saying "shut up outsiders and accept the privatisation agenda"

Honestly I don't know where to start. You rubbish economics as a discipline and also mention austerity (which is a silly name government policy) and mention something about privatization.....

1) please describe austerity in the uk. IMO you have no idea what austerity is if you mention it in the context of the uk. A country where are mother with 2 kids and no job will be housed clothed fed have free education free healthcare as well as accrue pension rights.

2) working on your bizarre statement that economics is garbage and then something about austerity and privatisation....

- please give me examples of wealth generation from government departments

- please give me examples of innovation from government departments

- please give me examples of where the public sector does something better than the private sector

- please give me examples of a country that is operating a model you would prefer

- please explain which industries / sectors should be nationalised and explain (using economics - oh hold on - errrr..... Numbers) as to why this would be beneficial.

- please explain using numbers why and how the government should increase its spending.... How will this benefit the country

Apparently Jeremy Corbyn met the Queen, who was once photographed next to Jerry Adams, and also he once put the phone down in an interview with a journalist repeatedly accusing him of being an IRA sympathiser.

I wonder if Clapton has ever been a journalist.
