An Evening With... Jeremy Corbyn

Enjoy your pan de chocolat (Spanish rather than French, we're very European here, despite voting Brexit), and hope all goes well with your drawbridge.
Seriously, could someone explain in one syllable what they think is so marvellous about Corbyn and his cronies? All I see is an aging protestor, who has tried to topple several of his party's leaders, who has disobeyed the whip on hundreds of occasions, yet still demands loyalty from his own MPs.
That's despite wanting to break international treaties and not being willing to defend our country. Oh, and being hand-in-glove with those who wish to kill us. He sacked one of the MPs from our city for sugesting that terrorism is a choice:

So I honestly do not see what is so appealing about him. Please explain.
Sorry, SDW, if you are asking me why some folk think that Corbyn is the greatest thing since sliced bread, you'll have to ask that former Nick Clegg supporter Ruggedtoast.
I dare say Corbyn may be a nice bloke, the kind you'd let look after your elderly labrador when you go away from a long weekend, or perhaps even send for a loaf, but become Prime Minister of a country? He makes Clegg look like a realistic option. Maybe that's Ruggged's plan? To turn Labour into even more of a joke party to rally support for his TRUE LOVE, :happyhear - the LibDems! It's a cunning Liberal plot! :rotfl:

I would still like RT to confirm that he agrees with John Prescott that good schools are a "great danger", and that what we want are therefore bad schools.
I'd also be interested in hearing which 50 to 60 Conservative seats Khorbiyn's Labour will win in 2020 in securing their surefire Commons majority, and what the compelling message to those voters will be that wil lure them away from giving Britain's second woman PM her own mandate.
He seems oddly reluctant to discuss any of this. It's almost as though, when he stops screeching slogans and bellowing his hate at people, he realises in his heart of hearts that his nasty and spiteful party are going to get absolutely f~cking diced in 2020.0 -

Only to those who are not Tories. I've seen 'nice blokes' turned into hate-filled alpha males when they find our that someone is not a socialist.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

I'm not going to answer your question, but I will offer you an opinion.
If you have to resort to quoting newspaper articles about John Prescott, out of context, that themselves have quoted John Prescott out of context, from 2005, in order to discredit Jeremy Corbyn in 2016 - then you are in barrel scraping territory.0 -

Your problem is middle of the Rd voters boomer or otherwise and centre left voters boomer or otherwise, they will not vote for Corbyn and if you want to win they are the votes you need.0 -
Isn't it about time we just rounded all the boomers up and stuck them in a workhouse somewhere. I'm sick of them stealing my benefits.0
