Yes, we are not an Economy - we are People! When we get the humanity right and the communities looked after, the Economy roars like a lion. Too much ignoring of the People been going on and for too long. We didn't break the Global Finances any more than the aged pensioners of Greece did LOL The Banks did it - with Greed and Fraud. And they've never been made to pay for what they did. Well they can start contributing NOW, with everyone else, and put things to right.
sugarpuffbutty ...at speakers corner and the house of commons commons you can hear a lot of speeches like this.....all these jerks will never rule this kingdom.
Government spending was not unsustainable. We've had a huge debt literally for centuries, but it doesn't matter because the banks only care if you have a good credit rating and can afford to pay the interest. It's literally impossible to eliminate the deficit completely because then you have to cut taxes, and then the deficit goes back up. Credit cards and personal debts have nothing at all to do with the economy as a whole. People can only borrow unsustainably when the banks allow them, and it was the banks that caused the 2008 crash (not the Labour party, if anything it was Thatcher and co's deregulation that allowed it to happen), who then actually got richer in the aftermath, while the rest of us had to pay for it.
At speakers corner, as well in the left corner at house of commons you can hear a lot of nonsens like this. This left wing propaganda is a tribute to this anitisemitic jerk corbyn....nothing else more.
Finally, an interview where the BBC treat Jeremy Corbyn with an ounce of respect, imagine what the result would have been if they had done this over the last few months, as opposed to their usual disgraceful, blatant bias.
Oh for... will people just stop this? Do you not notice that both sides are constantly claiming the BBC is biased? Do you not think maybe it's you that's just being biased? Expecting better for the people you like, and worse for the people you don't?
MyLittleDashie 7 Everyone expects that, but one side has evidence on their side. How about that shoot to kill video that was ruled as misleading by Ofcom and that they were still using on their website practically up to the close of polling? How about the presence of arch Tories Neill, Marr, Paxman, former Young Conservative Nick Robinson, and Kuenssberg who seems to have some kind of bizarre vendetta against Jeremy? How about that study by the LSE into whether Jeremy was fairly represented in the media that showed essentially everybody was constantly misrepresenting him, including the BBC? At some point you have to admit which way it's all pointing.
Have I got news for you has always been a blatantly biased program. Traditionally it has been against the tories, and during the Brexit was a little more than a propaganda program for remain.
JC Sendon Who's stupid? Jeremy Corbyn bought about the peace deal in Northern Ireland. He did this by talking & trying to understand BOTH SIDES. That doesn't make him terrorists loving, but a sensible reasonable human being. If we carry on the way YOU think we should bring about peace, we'll have blown ourselves up within 10years. Use your brain.
Yea that was such a good finish lol +jameslock1 You're right, people do loose more of their physical metal faculties the older they get :) Also it's actually a joke in the 21st century lunch isn't free for everyone. Surely we should be working to build infustructure that can provide at the very least basic human needs to people. (food, water, shelter etc)
jameslock1 It's that cynical attitude that has impoverished our country so much. People are brainwashed by the (billionaire controlled) mass media empire to think that the only way to survive is through near slave labour or becoming elite, trampling on others and nothing in between. Sadly, you've fallen for the mantra. Wish you well and that you can rediscover the humanity in your heart again.
It's insane so many people hated this man, he actually made me pay attention to politics and realise there could be a better future for this country and my generation. For once we had a genuine leader who wasn't just in it for himself and we blew it
You know I had written him off, and Im so glad I was wrong. He has completely transformed UK politics. Finally something has broken through the right-wing narrative.LOVE YOU JEREMY!
The nationalised services went to shit because the Tories cut all funding from them under Margeret Thatcher so they could sell bits of them off to their etonian mates. It's the exact same shit they are pulling now with the NHS. Do not fall for it.
Corbyn is brilliant in this! Banterous, level headed and confident... This is a man everyone can get behind and trust to be a confident and level headed negotiator
RyanNottingham totally agree. Stark contrast to wobbly, jittery Theresa May. I know who I'd rather have leading the country. Jeremy Corbyn IS strong and stable!
I love picturing him on his way back from the allotment in his crappy Vauxhall with a box of raspberries, listening to Oasis! What a man. There's no-one else I'd be happier to vote for.
the dude May has no idea what shes doing with her shit campaigns and u-turns, even her own tory pals don't have confidence in her. She's not pm material.
the dude Teresa dismay wants to form a coalition of chaos with terrorist supporting, homophobic, misogynistic, anti-abortion, science-denying bigots. 😂 Let's all hope that your pathetic lying coward 'prime minister' clings desperately on as long as possible, and drags the Conservative & Unionist Negotiation Team for Brexit down where they belong with her. (that's no acronym of course, simply the most appropriate title for the role).
Jeremy is a down to earth normal decent everyday person wanting to get into government to do the right thing, he has been attacked left right and centre, even by his own party but here he still stands. Probably UKs best ever politician.
I personally think he is UKs best politician, he actually sticks by his guns, generally cares for people and is not afraid to stick up for people. No cult, no hero worshipping, however I just want someone to steer the government the right way so as to help the people. If he does that then he is a hero.
Allan Frankland - A politicial who has been voted in by his constituents since before half of them were born. JC, as with Bernie in US, genuinely cares about people. This election has given him the platform for people across the country to see that, despite the best efforts of Murdock & gang
THIS PM WILL END GB. BRITAINS FAILED AGAIN AFTER CHOOSING KHAN FOR LONDON MAYOR. LIBERALS DESTROYED EUROPE AND STUPID EUROPEAN NATIONS AGAIN VOTE FOR LIBERALS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL MACRON AND JEREMY WILL FINISH THE JOB TO THE END ............ SICK
Hi John Galt, I've seen a lot of insults from opponents on this comments section, but I'm yet to see refutations of any substance. Perhaps you could provide some basis for your petty insults. It would be better than your current yammering, that's for sure.
Even Theresa May herself didn't have any substancial arguments against Corbyn. All they can do is insult and use ad hominem attacks. Tories are quickly becoming a stain on the government's reputation.
LE DB Well he knows bugger all about Singapore, and resorts to petty insults there. This makes him sound like an idiot to those of us who would love to see Singaporean levels of education, public services, safety, wealth, commerce, et cetera in the UK. He resorts to pointless slogans like "jobs-first, Brexit"...which are thoroughly meaningles. His policies relating to the expropriation of private property through taxation are despicable. How about that?
10whiten99 why do so many people like you think violence is the answer to all our problems? why do we in the west always have knee-jerk reactions and run around bombing everything in sight and ripping up human rights at the first hiccup? and when someone like Corbyn refuses to get dragged into the hysteria, and wants to tackle problems like a calm, intelligent adult everyone's on him like a ton of bricks??? hasn't GB had enough of bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc etc? can't we just leave well enough alone? do we have to be America's tail and follow wherever they lead? straight into the abyss??
I voted for Corbyn he is The PM that can save England he is the Voice of the People, More Cops in the Streets, Free School Meals, Free Education, we still have our free health care minimum wage up to £10 an hour that is a sign of a Great Prime Minster
caroline braniffmatthews oh yes because labour are definitely the ones that are forming a coalition with the DUP who's members have a history of terrorism
THIS PM WILL END GB. BRITAINS FAILED AGAIN AFTER CHOOSING KHAN FOR LONDON MAYOR. LIBERALS DESTROYED EUROPE AND STUPID EUROPEAN NATIONS AGAIN VOTE FOR LIBERALS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL MACRON AND JEREMY WILL FINISH THE JOB TO THE END ............ SICK
You're off your meds again, aren't you "Inferno"? You know you shouldn't go more than two days. Go and take them, have a nap and come back and join us when you are feeling better. Take Care xx
Dom Anca There wasn't really any bias it was an excuse from comrade Corbyn supporters to cover for his bad appearances. They went just as hard on May about the debates and her change in social care policy don't be delusional.
A humble, level-headed man that KNOWS what this country needs, and is willing to make it happen. I may not be able to vote yet, but I'm with Jeremy. #JC4PM
the dude I think we know who the weakest PM in history is. It's a woman who has a majority, calls an election - no reason for that, by the way - and is so arrogant and certain she'll get a higher majority than she already had that she turns up to no debates, doesn't even appear on QT with the opposition because she doesn't understand what she's doing and is so incompetent that she can't even be arsed to resign and thinks that sacking two people no-one ever heard of is going to come good. She won't last the year. Oh yeah, and the terrorist, homophobic, anti-equality party, the DUP? Don't forget they're her "friends and allies"
Corbyn's so weak he fought a leadership campaign he was thought to lose, then was ridiculed for winning, fought another leadership battle, was ridiculed for winning, then fought an election that was meant to give his opponent an overwhelming win and wipe him out, which in fact led to his being in a far stronger position than before. Yeah, he's so weak.
lordginder hey I'm rich and support labour not all rich people and greedy I worked hard to get here. However I'm fine with paying more tax to help those in need. Plz stop generalising us
How many more years are the poor and low earners going to be told lies why is there bedroom tax on us why are the papers and other people saying the poor are destroying the country because we have no money, people like me cant even get a job that will pay high enough for rent, without binmen without cleaners you would be living in dirt but you spit on us. the level of disrespect the sick. WTF IS THIS BEDROOM TAX
For me 18 to 20k a year is rich u can pay rent and still have money to go places :) Dont need alot of money to fill rich sir, but it effects you when someone is making 180k a year and they have more rights! i think its called status something religion knows everything about
lordginder read my comment and stop generalising the rich. Otherwise u r a hypocrite cause I could do the same to u why should my money go to all u lazy poor people??? Thankfully I don't think like that cause I'm not stupid I see pass the generalisation and even tho I'm wealthy I support labour.
if some people here are happy about something, why is that bothering you so much? Let them be happy. They're not taking anything from you are they? I havent said he won, nor behaved like he won, but it doesnt bother me if others are jubilant. Dont we have enough negativity in the media and in politics anyway? Lets all try and get along even if we dont see eye to eye about everything. We can still agree to disagree cant we?
safi456 that's sounds nice and dandy except literally anyone who's openly saying they didn't vote corbyn in the comment section are being berated by his cult followers
In my entire life Ive never voted because Ive never respected any politician apart from Tony Benn, and I was too young to vote in those days. Finally, with Corbyn I found someone I could respect, someone who actually seems like a decent human being, so I went and voted, knowing full well he wouldnt win. But I know a lot of people who didnt vote for him, and Im fine with that. If you feel that some people are getting aggressive because you dont agree with their views, that is because in this day of social media, people have forgotten how to be civilised and just say whatever they like, as they are safe and hidden behind their numerous accounts. If you were having the same discussion in person, Im sure most people would behave differently. Social media has killed off people's manners and tolerance. Nonetheless, we should all try and respect each other's views, and if you give respect, I guarantee you'll get it back. All the best.
I very much doubt a JC gouvernment would ever control the means of production to a level anywhere near even the most socialist European Countries. No matter your political persuasions you must concede that inequality has risen during a period of vast technological advance. Yes, the very worst off are no longer dying in such great numbers but inequality is problematic in our society.
Neil Philp Amen. I believe the smear canpaign by media and the Tory party was really because people fear Corbyn coz he stands for exactly what the majority of people want - a society for the many and not for the few....Tories can provide sound bites but they will never be looking out for society as a whole....
Unfortunately there are many people who prefer ideological austerity, privatised NHS, cuts of vital services and tax breaks for the rich. There are still far too many brainless people out there that think in terms of right wing paper headlines whose owners were shitting their selves they might actually have to pay some tax, lecturing on patriotism which being registered in tax havens and in the case of the daily mail had family that supported the Nazi's, yet these are the people who smeared Corbyn. Democracy can't work without a free press and an educated population. We don't have either.
LOL JAMES! Love reading comments like these, so blind they don't see the writing on the wall. I used to get slightly depressed reading so much of this negative crap. But mate, every time I see you morons now I'm laughing so much inside :D See you at the next GE!
either party needed 326 seats to win, no one won, but Tories lost 12 seats and Labour gained 32. Labour did not lose a single seat, vastly increased their mandate, and would never ask such a socially backward party as the DUP to prop up it's minority to form a government. The Tories have acknowledged themselves the party is crumbling before their eyes, many senior Tories are blaming no one but May. i joined Momentum because I was sick of thick Sun readers dictating who should be prime minister when i knew upon knew Jeremy was speaking economic sense as proven by countries such as portugal, to turn around a meaningless austerity programme. tHe tories never believed ja free NHS or social care or free school lunches. everything they do is to protect off shore untaxed wealth. they allow those havens to exist and we know most of them have dealing with these havens. no we're not spammers or scum, we are hard working people who are tired of thick idiots voting for a system that allows zero hours contracts to exist, 20, 000 police officers to lose their Jobs, many of the countries schools to lose almost two thirds of their budgets in the name of paying off a debt as if we are naughty kids who spent too much on christmas. there are only 5 countries in the world that have no external debt and i bet most people have never heard of them!
Carl New That's exactly why I voted for him. Give me an honest socialist any day over a corrupt, lying neo-conservative. The tide is changing my friend. Companies can't just take money off shore. If they operate business in this country they have to pay tax. Starbucks can't just take profits off shore and claim they don't have to pay tax. It's up to the government to force them to pay. It's just that for 40 years we haven't had a government willing to stand up to the multi-national corporations. Additionally there is a growing movement globally to crack down on those companies that do try and avoid tax.
Carl New I politely disagree. We can and we will change it. While there will always be companies that try and avoid There are many that would find it extremely difficult if we applied more pressure. Hell, why not try? Better than sitting back and letting them rip us off.
I voted for Corbyn he is The PM that can save England he is the Voice of the People, More Cops in the Streets, Free School Meals, Free Education, we still have our free health care minimum wage up to £10 an hour that is a sign of a Great Prime Minster
Ty Marshall and no way to pay for it, if my boss had to pay me £10 he would just sack me. i have a 0 hour contract aswell, without that i would have no job either. i had to vote for may to keep a roof over my head
zhain0 what so your boss would fire all workers who earn less than 10£ per hour. So you tell me now, who will replace those jobs? He has no choice lol. The cheapest possible price your boss can pay a worker under Corbyns government is 10 quid an hour. u would be getting that.
Rain Maker No... he would fire a few people. That's what happens. A higher minimum wage either decreases employment or increases prices. One way or another the employer is gonna make up the difference in profit lost.
theresa may is responsible for the london attack the Manchester Bombing and the London bridge attack due to the police cuts done by the Tories like her she's got blood on her hands and she washed it away like she don't care Never trust the tories
Here here Corbyn well done well deserved. This man must have such a thick skin the amount of abuse he took was unjust , unfair and utterly ridiculous but he overcame all that to win the hearts of the nation Massive respect.
I'm absolutely loving the sheer irony to everything the Tories have said. Brexit negotiations will probably go awfully but at least we have that to laugh about.
A_Random_Badger Bla Bla "communist" "IRA supporter" "Terrorist Sympathizer" Bla Bla.. what's your next excuse troll? If JC is a communist, then the Tories are blood sucking Neo Nazi Fascists!
John Host He gained seats after being predicted to lose seats, that doesn't warrant a resignation, May should resign as she lost seats and lost her majority. No one won, just the scale of losing is subject to opinion.
Johnny Depp well, yes, there is. It's called the fact that even if the lib dems, SNP and labour forms a coalition, they still would be a minority government
I really don't understand why labour supporter are celebrating like they won, yes they did increase their number of seats, however they have 56 seats less than the conservatives...
1skippo because the Tories are finished. Labour will take back Scotland as they are old Labour by heart and now see Jeremy can win. The momentum is with Labour.
DH M can they? Really? Considering many of the areas that flipped to Tory because of their traditionalist strange on the British union, and not because of their economic policies, I can't see many of the areas that turned Tory flipping labour, regardless of the "momentum" labour has, as they are unable to present themselves as fully pro union
This man has fought against the world for his entire career. The Tories tried to target him. The media tried to smear him. Even his own party went against him. And he survived everything, while keeping every single one of his values and his dignity intact. Jeremy Corbyn has earned his respect.
if i rem the ulster unionists only blew up the ira ,, the ira kiiled women and kids in the uk ,,, also a leading ira member said quote " corbyn has blood on his hands " ,, hes conned the youth of today with freehand outs us hard working ppl will have to pay for while they sit on thier lazy asses
I've just bought him a oneway ticket Venezuela so he can live the dream of True Socialism - after all he was a great supporter of Hugo Chavez. You're welcome to join him so you too can live the dream. Just don't wake up or open your eyes because the economy has collapsed, no food, no medical supplies; just hunger, disease, violence and death with no hope or future. Bon Voyage Conrade.
Joolz Essam, There's nothing radically socialist about Labour's manifesto. No need to jump to extreme cases in South America. Just look how successful the Scandinavian countries are doing with this approach. Or how Germany went from ruins after WWII to overtaking Britain in terms of economic wealth.
Love this guy, truly a breath of fresh air in a much needed uncertain time in our country. Do us proud Jeremy Corbyn, myself and many others are in support of you.
Sparky He is a nice guy but socialism just doesn't work. Taxing the rich more will force make them leave and that tax burden will fall on the poor. The ideal world of everyone being equal just does not work in reality.
She's not a economic illiterate. Socialism never works its been tried and tested all over the world and it leads to countries being bankrupt. Educate yourself on economics.
The British Classical Liberal we all have our own opinions sir, you have yours, and I have mine, it's unfortunate that we don't agree, have a nice day 👍
Salty And how does avoiding questions, only rallying in front of about 10 carefully chosen supporters and taking thousands of police off the streets show anything better? Strong and stable my arse. Her real failing this election was how clear it was that she was trying to project that image
Absolute bollocks James. I'm a proud Labour supporter, the bribing & dept comes from the current bloody government! One thing I have learnt from this election, how incredibly stupid & ignorant people actually are. The Conservatives just created a completely unnecessary mess for no reason whatsoever & you're angry at LABOUR?! HAHAAH so dumb.
the moron who complicated the Brexit negotiations was cock-sure Theresa May for calling a snap election seven weeks before the Brexit negotiations took place, after saying she wasn't going to. she was the one who was so sure of gaining a bigger mandate she was happy to talk about allowing fox hunting, repealing the Ivory ban, ending free school meals and imposing a dementia tax BEFORE AN ELECTION. her stupid fault for presuming she'd gain a larger mandate. we are not being bribed with sweeties. we want our taxes to pay for schools and the NHS , not to bolster a system that allows the worlds billionaires to put their money in tax havens and not pay their way. Google and Apple pay no tax. and you think you are voting for a party that cares about people??? The tory ideology does not give a shit about any of us. your not even a tory. Murdoch is a tory, you are a pawn. and if you'd bother to read a proper newspaper you might note many senior Tories blaming no one but May herself for putting us at such risk just before brexit is about to unfold. and many senior Tories have admitted the labour manifesto is brilliant!
You've always been a genius Jeramy. You've held back from following your aspirations because of the thought "keep it real".You've got it dude.You're keeping it real enough on a honest level. That's almost impossible to get right 100%. Respect mate. Keep going.
I can vote and I just did. For Labour. We are going to make this Democracy worthy of your vote and give you the future you deserve. Rest Easy - we've got you covered XX
We are now seeing the beginning of the end of the Tories in power. Corbyn actually LOOKS PRIME MINISTERIAL! I love his views on a whole range of things. He touches base with a lot of people, and he comes across as HUMAN! Not like so many of the Tories who do not give a damn for the ordinary man, woman and child of our country.
I doubt it. Thatcher did far worse than may and upset a lot more people and yet they Tories came back after Blair and Brown because people saw the damage they did. I think it is good the Tory's have some opposition against them but at the same time I do not want Corbyn as my PM because he is a loony and meaning well does not mean jack when you do not know how to run a country. A bit like the mother who keeps giving her kid an ice cream every time it wants one. She means well but ends up still doing damage.
Considerate? Corbyn backing the IRA who murdered so many of our solders defending the UK. Put him in No 10 and he will finsh what they were not able to do Break up the UK and these islands will go to war.
Alice Jiggins no. Incorrect. Leadership rules are unclear on the point and in any case, on two occasions he has won the majority of votes from party members. Unlike the leader of another party.
The Obnoxious Otter He is a better man than Sanders. Sander voted to go to war twice, Corbyn has never. Sander would be a blairite and on the right wing of the labour party. It just goes to show how right wing U.S politics is. LOL
yes, I'm an idiot for them claiming Jeremy to be 'their' prime minister, yet the only prime minister in this country (United Kingdom) is currently Theresa May. If they wanted someone else to represent them, they should have instead put #THATSMYPREFEREDCANDIDATEFORPRIMEMINISTER
#JC4PM he's got a great personality and is covering the people's needs. the tories only want the rich to win and are quite selfish tbh. labour might have bad rep due to putting the country in debt and things like that but right now everything's changed especially with brexit on the way.
Sidz the tories tripled the national debt in half the time. from labours £700b mostly due to financial crash gordon brown spent it to stop banks collapsibg at 2010 to £1.8 trillion in 2017 while forcing austerity on us. where did it all go? what did the tories spend it on? tax cuts to big businesses and their rich friends.
oh please we are not children use your brain a little harder jezza is the winner because before may held this snapy everyone thought jezza would lose his job and labour would be finished and may would get landslide, I cant believe I have to explain this to you HOW MANY TIMES MAY HELD THIS SNAP BECAUSE SHE WANTED LANDSLIDE SHE DIDNT GET IT SO SHE LOST!
It looks like the BBC have changed their tune, that was probably the most even handed interview the Lame Stream Media have done with JC. Times are a changin'!
Jeremy Corbyn is everything that Theresa May is not. He is charismatic. He is humorous. He has a spring in his step.He uses dreams rather than nightmares. However, we have serious fiscal problems in this country. Few folk, of all ages, want to pay towards the things that they have been told that they are entitled to. Are the challenges of the NHS, social care, low productivity, housing, tuition fees, all too big to be entrusted to any one political party? We talk of 'INVESTING in NHS and social care', when we really mean SPENDING. I hope that it is all OK when the music stops.
