to be fair though
Its not as much of a problem as if he were being a completely ruthless bastard to the poorest is it.
in the scheme of things, its almost as if 'saying the right thing' is a good thing.

It's like listening to the 17 year old political activist at college
He does know that the subprime mortgage "crisis" was the fault of poor people borrowing when they shouldn't have? You don't get a credit crisis when you deny feckless wastrels credit they shouldn't have in the first place.
Goddamn hippies.

The real problem was the banks using those bad credit risks as security on other loans. They knew what they were doing and it was daft.
There is a measure of reponsibility on the individual but these banks knowingly sold mortgages that could not be paid back and expected to repossess the properties to be sold on. The problem was that these properties became worthless as they were unaffordable due to economic slowdown.

He's championing the cause of the everyday person, and I for one am utterly sick of everything being sold off because that always helps!
We've been sold the lie of austerity, no country can EVER have growth whilst cutting back.
Since this government has been in power my wife's working week (teacher) has gone from 45 hours per week (she should only be working 4 days) to 60 hours. Most of her job is now stats and paperwork, it's 3 weeks into term and she hasn't had time to plan any lessons. She's flagged this up to manangement and all they say is that the paperwork is more important...
And breathe....

Why didn't she plan her lessons during the summer, like all the other teachers?

She spent 3 weeks doing paperwork. Funny enough she thought she'd done enough to then get 3 weeks off.

Its not the 70s - I think you'll find the everyday person is a hardworking middle-class with a mortgage
Which is why no-one votes for left wing dream peddlers with lecturer beards.

Misplaced judgement
He's frothing at the mouth because 5 people have more wealth than the bottom 20% of society and plonkers in the audience whoop and holla.
I've got £10 in my wallet - I've got more money than the bottom 10% of society. So what?
It's the politics of envy. All the trots do is point out how unfair it is and we should take some of that money. But they won't stop at taking it from the top 1%, they'll set the envy limit at something the proles can only dream of (say £50k/year) and fuck all those people over as well. Net result, same as every other country that's tried it = lots more poor people, including the ones who previously were doing ok.
Jezza loves the planned economy of Venezuala. A basket case with a middle class that has been disenfranchised and where basic commodities like bog roll are a long-off dream.
IDS tells a story about how every week for 5 years, Jezza asked him how the government where getting on with the MENFZ - Middle East Nuclear Free Zone. An impractical teenage dream because the only country with nukes is Israel, and they're not likely to want to play. And how conceited to think the UK has any fucking leverage with Israel anyway!
What is obvious to small children is not obvious to Jezza. He's exactly like all those shouty cunts in sixth form who thought they'd cracked all of the worlds problems.
Deluded.

I long ago took the ginger fuhrers advice...

Sorry to disappoint, but I take the Grauniad, thank you very much. Trade union member. (now ex) Labour voter. (from what is now known as the "reality wing" of the Labour party). I admire some of his policies, but recognize them as being impractical bollocks. I too would refuse to speak to anybody involved in the S*N newspaper, but then again, I'm not the leader of a political party trying to communicate with their 5.5 million daily readers.
I've just been around long enough to spot an eye-swiveling loon from 100 paces.

For me he's just a symptom of how bad other politicians are
Would he have got anywhere near the levers of power if it wasn't for the fact that the rest of the Labour party were hopelessly venal, corrupt and inept?
Whilst the Conservatives run the country into the ground with their own brand of self-serving ineptitude, we have ended up with a leader of the opposition who is behaving like a sulky 5th former who has joined a club just so he can be difficult.
He can't deal with opposing views, so either refuses to talk to the press "these people are bothering me" or his supporters scream "smear" when unpalatable truths emerge, like tacit support for murderers and racist, misogynist homophobes.
The way he and his shadow chancellor have tried to weasel their way out of offensive behaviour sadly marks them as just as bad as the rest of Westminster, yet people still think they are the saviour of democracy.
It's the same old illiberal liberal crap, you have every right to your opinion as long as I agree with it. If not, you are a bigot/racist/xxx-phobe (delete as necessary).
Harrumph.

I think that's why realist Labour supporters are in pieces over this. I don't think any of us thought Andy Burnham was the messiah, but what he was was "electable".
This is depressingly familiar to the situation John Smith inherited in 1992. He had deep and long experience of government and shadow government before his elevation and was able to steer the party to electability, with a programme that resulted in "new" labour and 13-years of government. If we'd turned left instead in 1992, we would now have experienced an uninterrupted 30 years of Tory rule.
Something that now looks depressingly possible, with at least 2020 lost and maybe even 2025 depending on how much damage the Corbynistas do to the party machinery in the meanwhile.

what might have happened if they'd let George Galloway anywhere near the controls.
What baffles me is that Galloway is denounced as a demagogue, yet Corbyn says a lot of the same things and gets lauded.
