    Here I have to disagree with you. He really isn't a nice bloke. He's an all round nasty bloke.

    If you think what he's doing to the LP is bad - wait until you see what he'd do to the country....he'd have everyone at each others throats in weeks.....

    Corbyn's Labour is the true nasty party......I offer up the transformation of Toastie as evidence, back in the day he used to be quite a nice poster....

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
  • I wouldn't worry. Comrade Corbyn is absolutely unelectable as a prime minister. It won't happen, he will never be PM.

    Dislike them all you want, but what Blair and Cameron realised is that elections are won from the center...yes, a bit right or a bit left of center but basically in the middle somewhere.

    No doubt some of the Corbyn worshippers on here will be along to say how wonderful he is.

    However what i say to them is this...for every pound you want to use of yours to back up your opinion I will give you £5 to back up my opinion if Corbyn is ever prime minister.

    Any takers?

    Rugged toast.

    You seem very sure that you are right and almost everyone else is wrong. I posted the above a week ago.

    Fancy a punt?

    And don't worry about getting paid if you win, I've got lots of £ left from betting against Milliband in May.

    Funny how people are willing to call you a "nice bloke" and ignore the intimidation, the misogyny, the association with Stalinists, the IRA and the Iranian regime just because you have a nice beard. Maybe I should grow a beard, since I'm a decent person to begin with (I hope) people would probably start treating me as the second coming of Christ.

    Straight talking, honest, Jeremy clearly couldn't have done something like this.

    That is just the mainstream media who should be ignored when it comes to reporting about JC.

    This is actually unusual, normally companies steer well clear of challenging politicians because they never know when they might be in a position to hurt them so this shows that Vigin group have no fear of JC - make of that what you will.
    I think....

    I think most companies would make some statement if any politician falsely claimed they were providing poor service.

    This is actually a pretty damaging story for Corbyn if it gets picked up and shared widely. Pretty much the only thing he has going is being seen as genuine, and avoiding this kind of shallow PR that politicians typically go for.

    It'll be interesting to see how far Corbynistas denial can take them. They made a lot of this story when it was positive news and enjoyed comparing it to Osbourne 'living it up' in first, which looks like a considerably smaller offence than faking sitting on the floor.

    I've seen the Virgin press release - I can't see a seat without a reserved tag on it in the picture they include with the press release. If the unreserved seats were obvious then I would have thought Virgin would have shown them in the press release.
  • http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/aug/23/jeremy-corbyn-virgin-trains-disputes-claim-over-lack-of-seats

    If he really did walk past a load of unreserved seats and then sit down and moan to the camera about packed trains, then he and his advisors are startlingly thick. It's not exactly hard to find a genuinely rammed train to film on in Britain!
    They are an EYESORES!!!!
