Nice sweeping generalisation. How many momentum members do you know. That's like me saying all Ukip members are racist (which they are plainly not)

Have you more evidence about the mugs other than what your mate said. I would have thought that if the mugs were so bad, the press would have mentioned those rather than the ones they did. As I said yesterday if mugs said what you said they did it's bloody awful. But I'm not convinced they exist.

Brown claimed to have eliminated "Boom and Bust" and his decisions to sell Gold Reserves and bail out RBS (that was rotten to the core with a corrupt boss) left the UK in a weakened state to deal with global financial meltdown.

THey admitted as much with the Treasury note saying all the money had gone FFS.

They left things in such a sh1t state it will take decades to put right and a lot more hardship.

Anyway enough about Labour's inept track record on the economy......

Jeremy Corbyn spoke this morning about immigration:

His spokesman told journalists: “He is not concerned about numbers,”

The trouble is Jeremy, 52% of the voters in the June Referendum are concerned about the numbers!

Another vote winning strategy for the Tories who are taking the message from the voting public seriously.

Corbyn continues to plough his own furrow... as he has done for the last 40+ years oblivious to what the over whelming majority want/need.

How many f***ing times. The note was a joke

And because I know you won't read it Hoof, here's something for others to read as well for a chuckle.

I once had the misfortune to have to sit and listen to Liam Byrne. Nothing amusing about him at all, he came across as an arrogant little to$$er.

No surprise when he acted unprofessionally and left a stupid note for the opposition to make capital of.

I hope you heard Corbyn's speech and understood the context of what had been said earlier. The point is, it is not the numbers of immigrants but what is happening in society that is the issue. If we were building 500,000 houses a year (as was managed more than 50 years ago), stopping cheap labour exploitation, creating proper infrastructure the approach would be quite different. The fact is that the Tories and New Labour have allowed public services to slide. This has caused resentment but instead of turning fire onto the Governments and financial structure which caused the problem it is easier to blame the immigrant.
This is the oldest trick. Blame those who have no control rather than those that do. Previously it was the Irish or Jews to blame. Now it is Poles or Rumanians.
Corbyn spelt out the answer today. Tackle societies inequality rather than get the disadvantaged fighting amongst themselves.
