are not all people of the world the same and equally worthy?

The last time I looked, it was supposed to be 'Workers of the world, unite!'.

Or as the dyslexic Socialist said, 'Walkers of the world untie!'.

It goes on to say that the Tories membership base appears to be less than 100,000 and is on average 59 to 68 years old. Not great for getting activists out on the streets.

Sadly that's pretty much the opposite of reality. Old people are politically active in no small part because they have nothing better to do. A 30 year old party member probably has a full time job, maybe a family etc. That's a big part of the reason why local democracy is such a joke; it's not far from impossible to be a councillor and have a proper job at the same time, so we end up with OAPs who want to feel important instead.

the reason it is irrelevant, is that people who vote for the good of everyone are quite distinct from people who scream abuse and spit at people

Corbyn shelves proposal to scrap tuition fees

Corbyn has shelved a proposal to scrap university tuition fees, while he consults the rest of the Labour party — a process that risks diluting the radical programme he set out in the summer leadership race. The new leader of the opposition said only weeks ago that he would raise £10bn through higher taxes in order to remove fees and restore student grants.


It was his first major policy statement and helped build support among young left-wingers. It would have been funded by either a 2.5 per cent rise in corporation tax or a 7 per cent increase in national insurance for those earning more than £50,000 a year.
But one member of the shadow cabinet said that the policy would now be consulted on more widely: “It’s like everything else from Jeremy’s leadership campaign, it doesn’t automatically become policy.”

Mr Corbyn said during the summer that he wanted to apologise on behalf of Labour to the last generation of students who had to pay fees.
Now, the issue of university debt will have to take its chances in the party’s long and complicated policymaking process, regardless of the new leader’s views.
“All policy is up for discussion and there is a review of how we will set policy in the future,” said Mr Corbyn’s spokesman.

Hmmmmmm. So far we've scrapped getting rid of Trident, scrapped part of the nationalisation of utilities and scrapped free unis. Is there much left that is Left?

And just to help the British tax payer out a bit more, Jeremy doesn't claim for any of his expenses.

He's a brick quite frankly, a brick.

So rugged; what say you re the above?

Do we know whether he buys the lunches on expenses or not? I couldn't find that level of detail on the HoC website.

Our tanned bread friend tends to post later in your day although he gives me a smile during my commute to work in the morning.

Give the poor old glutenous chap a chance!

As an aside, I predict some upset when (s)he realises that the horrid baby boomer that is Mr Corbyn has stitched him and his mates up like a kipper she'll be very, very upset.

Perhaps he`s going to do the opposite of most politicians and promise to stitch us up before the GE only to renege on those promises once elected.
