    Corbynista ejected from QT audience

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/23/think-leave-david-dimbleby-ejects-corbynista-audience-member/

    A typical foaming at the mouth Corbynista, incapable of doing anything more than shouting "tax the rich" when the panel tried to talk.

    Interesting how loud the cheers were when he was told to leave. And that's from a QT audience!

    Shock horror ......a Corbynista gets ejected from the Question Time audience..... It makes the Torygraph and Fella gets all excited. Never a dull moment eh...I'd hide under the bed if I were you....the Corbynites are coming!

    It's so warped to celebrate the rise of communism in the UK.

    Have you ever visited the former Soviet states? Seen the destitution they still deal with?

    You think people on benefits in the UK are poor, grab yourself a Wizzair flight to one of these countries and travel outside of the cities with the investment. Or go to Cuba and venture off the tourist track, or Venezuela, or North Korea, or China. See for yourself the destructive authoritarian nature of your ideology.

    Likening Jeremy Corbyn to the 'rise of communism' and saying his election would result in what happened in the Soviet Union, Venezuela, North Korea etc is delusional nonsense perpetrated by extreme right wing loons. The Labour Manifesto didn't even call for an increase in tax rates to the level Thatcher had! Socialist Govmts have been in power all over Europe at different times. Tax rates in Scandinavia are higher than here....Swedes don't live under an authoritarian communist state and don't tremble in fear that their economy is going to turn into Venezuela!

    Yes they do.

    Plenty of Swedes on podcasts and vlogs complaining about the way their government operates. You're just blind to it and don't hear about it via the MSM.

    What I noticed most were the bullying tactics on social media from Labour supporters. There was none of this type of behaviour from any other party. It was interesting to watch because it suggested to me that there was something quite peculiar about Corbyn's ability to get people to do his dirty work for him. I remember one photoshopped post of Jimmy Saville that I thought was appalling because of the number of victims. I don't remember Corbyn saying anything about the is post although he must have know it was there. If he didn't know what people were doing on social media to support him then he should have known.

    So it seems that it is fine for the Labout leader to be happy with pictures of Jimmy Saville being circulated where the victims could see it and no mention made.

    So in order to get help from the Labour leader you need to be a victim of a fire rather than a victim of the probably the world's worst sex abuser?

    Dirty tactics because the ideology is flawed.

    Dirty tactics because the ideology is flawed.

    The weird thing about the posts were how negative they were and also they only attacked the Conservative Party they didn't promote what Labour was going to do apart from the bribes of free child care and free university tuition. There was nothing there to help someone train to be a welder for example or for single disabled people who are the actual poor.

    There was a lot of rubbish about taxing the wealthy without actually specifying who "the wealthy" were. There was no definition of who "the poor" were either. I am convinced that "the wealthy" didn't include politicians with £2.4 million in savings and investments and an income of around £137,000 per year? You had to dig quite hard to find that out.

    The Corbynista logic seems to be along these lines:

    Tories are rich.
    The rich are evil.
    They're evil, therefore any amount of bile is justified.
    Likewise dirty tricks, fake social media stories/accounts, hijacking demonstrations etc etc.

    One amusing aspect of Corbyn's rich-bashing approach is footballers. He's on an extremely sticky wicket there as they're all millionaires, however unlike other "banker-type" millionaires they are extremely popular, if not adored, by a large chunk of the people Corbyn needs to vote Labour. That's why he goes extremely quiet on the subject of taxing footballers (& the exodus of talented premiership players that would ensue under a Corbyn Govt).

    This would be an easy target for the Tories to tie him in knots & expose some of his policies for the unworkable nonsense they are if they got their act together.

    You are deluded Fella. To go from an overall majority in the hope of a landslide and end up with a minority Govmt dependent on the DUP is in no way a victory.

    2 extra years in office is the victory. A Conservative government until 2022. Labour out of office until 2022.

    I call that a win.
