Man, it was nice to feel hopeful about the future, even if it was just for a little while. I'll never forgive the media for how they misrepresented this man.
They smashed him unilaterally. Too much of a threat to the status quo for the liking of the wilder establishment. Very sad, because all those who believed the smears against him would have been far happier in their lives now, had they not followed the narrative.
Misrepresented? But he said he was a friend of Hamas, a terrorist group. The media in this country is so Left wing, even they quoted it. But yo, keep sipping the Kool Aid on how the “media” “misrepresented” him. Still didn’t make it as PM😅
What might have been. The only British politician in my lifetime - and I am not a young man, I am 44 - to bring this kind of hope, to deliver such messages of tolerance and inspiration. He speaks in way that moves and inspires children and adults of all ages. Of course he made mistakes - he wasn't a natural modern party leader, in the way that the media expect (he answered questions and spoke openly and honestly, for instance), and his lukewarm messages on Brexit did little to help him, but he sparked a surge of political engagement unimaginable today, or indeed for many years previously.
@@jam-nc8ut Next election he's gone, that's for sure. It's time for him to feed from that £1,600,000 tax payer fed pension pot, the guy hasn't done a day's work in his life.
Yes we could have had what we had in the 1970s. Dominant unions driving rampant inflation and punitive taxation causing a brain drain. No wonder those who remember that era voted so overwhelmingly for the Tories, and those who have never experienced socialism voted for Labour.
As economist have shown plenty of times, the stagflation of the 70’s was caused by the oil crisis and not bad governance. While Labour has been building, the conservatives has been wrecking things.
@@oscarpall6604 You aren't aware of Labour's reaction to the oil shock, that is what caused the damage to be so acute in the UK. Everyone deflated while Denis Healey's budgets kept on increasing public spending by 30% every year even with high inflation. It was extraordinary and he later admitted he got it wrong. It led us to a humiliating IMF bailout. Then, as things improved, Callaghan gave in to the unions and abandoned 5% pay increases, resulting in further inflation and strikes. Thatcher, brutally, brought inflation and the unions under control. You have got the last sentence the wrong way round.
That is very far from the truth. Labour insisted that we kept our welfare despite economic hardships. All countries on earth where hit hard and thatchers contractionary financial policies only made things worse in Britain. The flat tax was a fucking disaster. Thatcher did get control of the inflation and credit for that: but the means to get there was awful, and she ruined millions of people’s life’s. It could have been done smarter. Way smarter.... Like taxing the rich.
@@oscarpall6604 I agree that the means of getting there were not exemplary, but how exactly do you tax the rich further when the top income tax rate was 83% and taxes on investments at 98%? Thatcher reduced the tax and in accordance with the Laffer curve, more money came in.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to support Corbyn. There's a reason why he was put into power by edgy 13 year old party members then thrown out of it by voting age adults at the ballot box
I love the quote from Shelly, however I have a few bones to pick with Corbyn. Jeremy Corbyn does not believe in a persons right to own land. He goes out of his way to depict landowners as greedy wealthy people who are depriving less fortunate people from having a place to lay their heads. As an American, I love the quotes from Shelly, but since I happen to own 25 acres of land or so, I totally disagree with Corbyn in the fact that my land is MINE, and nobody elses. I am not some wealthy non tax paying pig. I am a poor man, and even if I sold my rural land, I'd only get about $50,000 dollars for it. That would hardly make me a wealthy man eh? I would be much wealthier if I kept my land, as it is worth much more than dollar bills. My land is in a very remote and isolated region in the Ozark Mountains, where land value is low. I recognize this, and this is why I keep my land. Jeremy Corbyn is oblivious to people like me. If he had power over me he would try and "Appropriate" my land, and give it away to illegal aliens, border jumpers, criminals who gained entry to the country by sneaking across the border, instead of immigrating legally. This is where I part ways with the blindly insane socialist. Not only do I just disagree, but I WILL fight his agenda with guns, bombs, and any other weapons I can come up with. Deo Vindice.
Dorian Grey Nope, nothing to do with sexism, maybe to do with the fact she is a scary nutcase who runs through fields! Which nutter runs through fields of wheat, eh?
If people are willing to bottle someone over a different political standpoint. Then those people are much worse than the animals that normally graze those fields.
Love this guy.. He was at the glenfell towers talking to victims straight after the incident happened, he's the prime minister we don't have.. May didn't talk to a single victim on top of that she arrived late.
@@reallycoolman4990 It would mean the state pay for the education of all the people it doesn't need to pay for, thereby reducing the money it can spend on those who really need it. It sounds appealing to make society fairer, but doesn't make sense economically.
Sad and angry. Our job is to spread the facts. Not the myths or the lies, but the actuasl documentary facts. That's lartgely financuial... the details of the corruption. Who was boutght by who and where the Labour party went... and how well funded the Stabour party is now.
I'm here because yesterday I seen President Zelenskyy screened at Glastonbury asking for more bombs, Jeremy asking for peace won by miles on the old cheer omiter
I cried too when I saw the worst excuse of a prime minister in living history piss a 24 point lead up the wall and almost allow this idiot into Number 10. The only thing this snake oil salesman is good at is fooling the young into voting for him by pretending he is something new!
He's talking his usual far left rabble rousing bollocks,preaching to the converted and the gullible..it's all the old fart was ever good at..The country saw right through him.Worst election result since the thirties and the stench of anti-semitisn wafting in his wake.You should have saved your tears and your vote.Corbyn had no chance of winning an election,only the deluded could'nt see that.
The Tories are on the ropes and neo liberalism is dying a death as wages, living standards and happiness plummets. Corbyn represents the real change people want.
So, what has happened to wages, happiness and living standards in Venezuela? In fact, can you name any country where socialist ideas have made the poor happier or better off? Don't feel constrained by time. Any country at any time in history will do. Don't bother looking to Scandinavia. They are firmly capitalist economies, albeit ones with a high tax, high social service model and as they are all currently discovering, such models are only sustainable with a closed border and a homogenous society where everyone is equally committed to contributing.
From a hardline conservative who disagrees with every one of your principles and policies... I don't understand why you were portrayed as awkward and lacking in charisma, because you are at least the most charismatic British speaker since Winston Churchill. And you were tremendously gutsy for surviving leadership challenges.
Most critiques of Corbyn were a bogus smears from incompetent conservatives who could never adequately counter his policies or his ideas without lying and cheating.
"Rise like lions after slumber, in unvanquishable number. Shake your chains to earth like dew, which in sleep had fallen on you. Yea are many, they are few." ....Resist the purge of your semi-automatic, recognize the need in the hour of panic. Arm thyself in the name of the many, against those of the oppressive enemy.
If you are white and working class you are by definition 'privileged'. The Labour party are only interested in 'oppressed minorities'. Maybe you can identify as a black lesbian Muslim? Corbyn will then give you a VIP place at the festival after he's confiscated it from an undeserving rich attendee of the festival.
Stonysensei I think the fact it's written on a wall is irrelevant, because that wall necessary and it doesn't hurt anyone. The kind of walls Donald trump is building are disgusting, designed to separate and discriminate. Both physical and metaphorical
No, because they were busy seeing to the victims and families of those who lost everything in the grenfell tower fire, not beating their twats to the sound of liberals clapping in some shit-ridden field ;)
Snakey oh good so you know the person pushing the works through was a Tory councillor and you know the Tories voted down recommendations to fit sprinklers to high rise buildings and I can go on and on.
sprinklers wouldn't have stopped what happened. And even if they did, every other person in that flat would have all their possessions ruined by the water
PlayChaosVoices bitch look at his past, realist politician I’ve ever researched Corbyn made me believe in politics again, I’m so glad to be in a labour constituency
We did. The people who were told not to vote for him weren't votingh against him, but a nightmare cartoon of him. Most people still believe in that cartoon because it's eeasier than realising they were lied to.
Right there with you man. I was there to see him, my whole family were in tears it was so incredible. I honestly thought he was heading for Downing Street. Of course it was too good to be true.
Jeremy, I absolutely love what you're doing for the UK, and arguably, for the world. So please forgive the sarcastic part of my mind that urges me to point out the irony of writing the message not to build walls, you know, on a giant wall. :)
First, Radiohead's sturdy 100,000+ crowd chant 'Oh, Jeremy Corbyn' in spine-tingling unison, now the man himself attracts the biggest crowd at Glastonbury so far. Don't let anyone say that for a moment - however long this lasts - we weren't given a glimmer of genuine hope for something different. Can you imagine any other mainstream leader capture the imaginations of the 18-35s like this these days?!? It doesn't happen...
@@VincentRE79 I know I would. They won a 185 seat majority in 2001 which was hardly considered a victory then and 2005 was considered a big loss despite keeping a large majority, then look at Corbyn and he considered a hung parliament in 2017 a massive victory lmao!
@Tyler Tone That 2017 result was not a vote for Corbyn was more about Brexit. At the next General Election I would like to see Corbyn's Labour come third and Anna Soubry & Sarah Woolaston lose their seats.
I'll never forgive this man for depriving this country of a proper government oppersition for 5 years, and his pathetic closet Brexiteer remain campaign. He's a looser
@@omarsockni1981 How does it feel that the UK said NO to your commie hero? hahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhaha. You're still whimpering to this day you leftist crank.
Do you understand the background to this ? Glastonbury has always celebrated progressive causes and Michael Eavis is a mate of Corbyn`s. That is why he was there and that is why people listened to him and liked what he said !
dossery100 we wouldn't have so many refugees if the conservatives would stop bombing places like Syria which in turn, creates more refugees. Besides, what does it matter? People are coming here for safety and shelter when their homeland has been destroyed. I think people need to be a bit more compassionate
He makes such a flawed rhetorical point. Look at the writing on the wall. It say’s ‘build bridges not walls’. But it’s written on a wall designed to keep people out of the festival. So…
There's a message on the wall over there. (A wall that was built around Glastonbury to keep people from entering illegally) Couldn't make it up if you tried.
+SS PlY because overcoming several decades of neoliberal brainwashing in a single, rushed, election would take a miracle. Sadly JC is no miracle worker, though he undeniably pulled off something quite impressive at the GE.
Does anyone find it weird that Glastonbury has a political platform? It was bad enough when it went commercial in the 90's/00's - but now it seems more of a brain-washing soap box.
“if you can see that far, look on the wall right over there that surrounds this wonderful festival. There’s a message on that wall for President Donald Trump. Do you know what it says? Build bridges not walls". Hilarious!!!! You couldn't make it up.. The message is painted on a wall. A wall that exists to keep out those who haven't contributed to the cost of making the festival happen, those that want to take without giving, those that may want to harm the people on the festival grounds... Kinda like a border....
I don't know what is sadder, how milquetoast this speech of empty platitudes is, or that there are people who are actually so vapid they think this speech is good and the mark of a leader.
Doesn't surprise me in the least that someone with a communist avatar would think anyone who thinks Corbyn is a less effective politician than even Trudeau would just claim someone else is a parrot. Don't you have some productive farmers to send to gulags for the sake of equality?
Imagine if Jeremy Corbyn came to American politics and ran the Democratic Party. (Yes there is Bernie Sanders, but he lacks the rhetoric of Corbyn in taking the fight to the elites.)
Nah, there would be real violence. Theresa May is a power-grabber but so is Jeremy Corbyn - at least Theresa May isn't as much of a rabble-rouser though. This entire speech was nothing but platitudes and appeal to blindly optimistic emotion.
@@revol148Can you imagine how boring that would be, about 20% of the UK population behaving like spoilt children for a whole month. Don't get me started on the conspiratorial garbage it would provoke.
7 years later and look at us. Oh how we will miss the opportunity we had to elect this wonderful man. Jeremy leading the Labour Party was the last time I had hope in this country getting better. What a wonderful, caring human being. Thank you for giving me hope once upon a time
Millions of men are dying in the trenches, but a suffragette throws herself under a horse cart. OH MY GOD WOMYN STRUGGLE IS REAL. Free helicopter rides for labor.
