The number of people who believe in Corbyn amazes me. I know there's a lot of young people in there who have never experienced living in a socialistic society and only have warm worded rhetoric and concepts....but still.

The number of people who don't understand basic economics is amazing. I recommend they read Sowell's book on it.

Personally, a part of me is hoping that Corbyn and the far left actually win and gain office. Because it's at that point that all these morons have to answer for the mess.

I know they will finger point and deflect when that happens but the rational amongst them will have to take their medicine. A Corbyn will give rise to another Thatcher figure and the cycle will repeat itself similar to the seventies.

Hang on....who am I kidding, these aren't self reflective individuals. No, instead the only satisfaction will be in seeing their worldviews being shown for the emotive driven BS that they are.

If Labour are elected under Corbyn all we will see is inflation fueled by pay rises to the big unions just like the 70's under Callaghan.
You can blame Bretton Woods for the instability of the pound back then but you can't blame it for the relationship between Labour and the Unions which will return us to the bad old days with Len McClusky and the like effectively calling the shots.

But this is boom and bust. If 2008 can't take the system down nothing can.

The taxpayer is the lender of last resort.

That's ok as I'll worry as I have a full brain. You obviously don't worry so I guess by your own statement you only have half a brain?

Poverty levels are indicative of globalization, which as a lefty you no doubt support. They are also the effects of the 2008 realities that will take at least another ten years without bust to even reasonably recover from......just like the depression in the twenties wasn't even fully recovered from until after WW2.

You, of course, being part of that non reflective Corbyn cast aren't interested in those realities. Instead you just waffle on as though this country hadn't been though the worst economic western failure for ninety years as you compare statistics now to pre collapse times.

As I say, if elected Corbyn will wreck this economy from its inching recovery......and personally I'm pretty sure that people like yourself will be nowhere to be found to account for what you said.

As they say, success has many fathers but failure is an orphan. Like I say, I almost hope Corbyn wins because I want to see the wreckage of your ideology struggle to reconcile with the reality of how economics actually works.

Sure there were plenty on the right, opportunists most of them who blamed Labour for the collapse......not me or anyone with common sense.

What Labour do deserve blame for was in not having any economic reserve. But that's the left on economic policy all over.

But 2008 was obviously the banking sector, neither party had policies that would have made any difference to what happened.

If nothing else, it showed the difference between politics and what actually funds it. How little influence politics has in the real world compared to the world of money.....If the far left think they can screw the capitalists and win all they are going to do is worsen the lives of the poorest far far more.

But that's the socialists all over. All they do is keep the poor in even worse poverty than they were before while lying to them about who's fault it is....and of course there's always an endless supply of dimwits willing to man the barricades.

Please read what I posted HB. I said wary, ie be cautious. So I worry about the possibility of a made up fact not that the Russians have been involved.

You're too dim to realise your own contradictions. You think you can point score with silly word play and trip up over yourself.

What a delightful HB you are.

Actually that was borrowed American money.
