Check out his first leaders speech, the whole thing is a charter for spongers and handouts, he wants your money folks.

That's the whole philosophy of luny left isn't it?

Regard those who've worked hard and done well for themselves with furious jealousy, rob them blind, use the proceeds to pay immigrants and scum mums for votes to stay in power.

It works until you run out of money and cripple the country.

Yes I agree the sponging rich should pay more tax.

So does everyone who has done well work hard and does everyone who works hard do well? How simple your world is.;)

Out of interest what would it take for you to vote for a Corbyn led Labour Party at the next election or would you simply not vote for Labour with Mr Corbyn at the helm?

I will never vote Labour as they have now become. I loathe extremists so would not vote for "his" Labour Party for that reason alone, but also, being a staunch monarchist could not support anyone of that frame of mind. Then there are a growing number of policies attributed to him but in all honesty I have not sorted out which are truly his viewpoints and which are "slurs" by his opponents so don't want to pick one out.

I'm not a particular fan of the LibDem's, (PS my automatic spelling police changed LibDems to LibDims and I nearly left that in) they being so fluffy, but if there were an influx of formerly Labour Politicians to them, they could very easily become my other party of choice.

Which ones and in what way do you think that they should pay more? Rich people already pay most tax gross and all the tax net.

Just saw Corbyns closing words at his refugee speech, wow, he sounds unhinged. Followed by Billy ego Bragg singing the red flag to comrades, what a joke

Bragg is another wealth lefty closing to hoard wealth and yet framing himself a Saint. How the gullible student types in the crowd fall for his charlatan act.

The real defeat didn't happen in may, it happened today, total and unmitigated disaster.
Ah well! cast into the wilderness they will be.:(

History repeats:
Labour cast into the wilderness

I find it strange that everyone is pronouncing Corbyn's leadership the death of the Labour party in this country.

We have seen the resurgence of left wing anti-austerity parties across Europe. After another 5 years of unfettered austerity policies in this country Corbyn's rhetoric may well appeal to many on the receiving end of those policies who may not have turned out to vote at previous elections.

Add to the mix the possibility of the Conservatives potentially tearing their party apart over the EU referendum and we may be left with the centre ground being completely vacated by the parties and a more unstable political outlook.

Really rich people dont have income, they have assets, sometimes ones which they weren't especially responsible for collecting.

0.6 per cent of the British people own 69 per cent of the land on which we live - and they are mostly the same families who owned it in the 19th century.

A lot more money could be raised from taxing property, but apparently suggesting Lady Camilla Farquahr-Pendingrast might pay some kind of council tax on her 14th unoccupied home is one step away to getting out the guillotines.

Corbyn is coming for her!
