    I have already....they thought he was a joke candidate who wouldn't win. They don't see him as evil though. Besides you'll see a drift back once they've swallowed their pride.

    Do you really believe that? If so, I am amazed!

    I note a number of the deserters seem to have had a change of mind. It's just politics.

    Maybe I am crediting them with more principles than they actually have. You have to admit though it is a strange position when I am admiring them for their principles, yet Labour supporters are saying, no, they don't have any, we just didn't think that he would win. Wow, you really couldn't make that up!

    You are truly welcome dude, I have no axe to grind with the prison services, a horrific way to spend a lifetime IMO. A dirty job I'm exceptionally pleased not to do.

    The least you deserve is to be able to afford a bag of Werther's Originals now & then as you ponder whether it was worth it.
    No problem dude....it's been a very rewarding career with good benefits. I actually feel I've made a difference to other peoples lives...not all can say that can they now.;)

    Chuck I'm in the party. I know many of these people. It's about whether he could win. They don't think he's evil though?

    God bless them, it is such a shame that the innocent are doomed to suffer.

    I'll probably be looking into joining the the Labour party myself eventually, if it gives me a vote over who is the leader. I'll still be a Tory though, I just want to try and avoid the worst possible scenario.

    support them in their fight against evil.

    "Evil" - that's an extremely strong word. You make it sound like he is a modern day Hitler.

    You correctly criticised someone earlier in this thread for describing Theresa May as a "murderer". Do you believe that Corbyn is "evil" or were you just aiming for dramatic effect?

    Point taken, I have changed it to misguided.

    I guess not, although those of us that got to fund other people's pensions AND be thanked for it by them, wouldn't fall in that camp obviously. It's worked out pretty well. You got to spend your life doing a job that sounds basically like a prison sentence to me. I've had far more fun if I'm honest, and earnt a smalll fortune, but by throwing a few crumbs of that your way you get to enjoy your retirement without having to visit a food bank. It's a win win situation.

    No, evil was fine:

    Weeks after the attempted assassination of Mrs Thatcher in Brighton, Corbyn invited two prominent Sinn Fein/IRA personalities to Parliament. Following the Grand Hotel bombing, a far-Left magazine on whose editorial board Corbyn served as general secretary reiterated its backing for the Irish republican movement, adding: ‘Let our “Iron Lady” know this: those who live by the sword shall die by it. If she wants violence, then violence she will certainly get.’

    Not really, because I don't actually know his intent, he could just be misguided.
