    Truly an inspiration to us all. Neoliberal democracy gave us Brexit, Trump, and a May government; socialist democracy can be counted on to provide the correct result. Neoliberal democracy produces a divided nation, split between Brexiters and Remainers or Tories and Labour; socialist democracy produces unity, a nation which no doubt will be 90% united behind the visionary Maduro. So what if ten people have been made equal; the body does not die when you cut its fingernails, comrades.

    Drivel , all drivel.

    socialist democracy can be counted on to provide the correct result.

    What on earth is Socialist democracy? And what is Neoliberal democracy come to that?

    Democracy is not conditional on your own viewpoint.
    Union, not Disunion

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

    The police have made this statement after several weeks of accumulating evidence. I prefer that approach to crowd-pleasing announcements based on knee-jerk emotions and baying social media mobs.

    Corbyn was on the right side yet again. Thats the point.

    Just read some of the posts above.......no suprise...... Diane Abbott, Venezuela, the IRA, stalinist utopia, Hackney voters stereotyped etc. All the usual hate filled bigotry and spite references! Some of you grey reactionaries should go to this..... Might loosen you up a bit and encourage a bit of positivity instead of the usual hate filled smears directed at anyone who dares to have a bit of idealism.

    Corbyn will be appearing at the festival in August and is set to speak to comedian and broadcaster Susan Morrison. The on-stage conversation will look at "makes him tick, how he deals with adversity and why our country and its politics needs to be transformed,” STV reported.

    Haha, another chance for him to have a chat with a sympathetic interviewer in front of existing supporters. Nothing Corbyn likes better than having his ego stroked like this.

    Ever noticed he's scared sh*tless of appearing in front of a hostile crowd? He never ever does so. Likewise if he faces even the faintest of criticism in an interview he instantly throws a tetchy little strop.

    Still, as long as he can continue to convince himself & his deluded supporters that he didn't get a thorough kicking in the election I guess they'll be happy. Bad news for the Labour moderates though, as he'll undoubtedly aim to use his mythical success as an excuse to oust them & replace them with more of his extremist chums.

    Oh dear Jeremy Corbyn.

    A socialist democracy is one like Venezuela where the people freely vote for a socialist government. A neoliberal democracy is the discredited outdated model where the people selfishly vote for what they want, which produces socially undesirable outcomes like Brexit and Tory governments. Keep up, comrade.

    I can only assume this is satire.

    Regards the outrage over empty rich people's property in Kensington, I wonder if the large number of morally outraged lefties with holidays homes in Europe will be opening them up to the homeless and refugees over there?

    Why do lefties never ask such questions and turn the mirror on themselves?

    It's being reported that Spanish people are protesting about foreign buyers forcing up rents and property prices and ruining thier communities, turning them into ghost towns. I bet no UK lefty will be mentioning this.

    You don't need to go to mainland Europe for that. Just Cornwall, Devon, Norfolk, the Lake District. Much nicer places to live than Kensington too!
