Under communism, every man has what he needs. So they'll puts a sign up that says "nobody needs Corbyn today."

I'm sorry? We're talking about Corbyn who refused to apologise four times on BBC for the pervasive antisemitism in his party? A man who laid a wreath on the grave of Palestinian terrorists? A man who supported the early release of Samar Alami and Jawad Botmeh. In case you forgot, the pair were convicted in the 1990s in connection with a car bomb explosion outside the Israeli Embassy in London and another against a building in London that housed a number of British Jewish charities. Not only did Corbyn run a campaign to get these two released from prison, but when they were released he acted as a character referee for at least one of them, claiming that Botmeh was a suitable person to be involved in the governance of a British university. Why would he do that? Of all the people in the prison system up and down this land, why would Corbyn have put such effort into getting a release for these two (and praising them, at that) who had been involved in the bombing of Jewish targets in London? Corbyn, who steadily refused to meet with any Israeli representatives while persistently keeping his associations with Palestinian terrorists?

Remind me again that we're still talking about Labour, whose Jewish MPs all resigned because of antisemitism? Where other MPs also stood down and told people not to vote Labour because of the antisemitism? The same Labour Party that is still under investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission? The same party that failed to suspend members for their antisemitism? I'm just doubly checking to make sure we're talking about the same Jeremy Corbyn and his Labour party?

Yes, yes, yes, but where is the signed document from Corbyn saying he's anti-semitic or that his party has ever had anyone anti-semitic in it? :rofl:

Credit where credit is due, he’s achieved the difficult task of making the Labour Party unelectable for at least another decade.

They did . They found their voice and voted for what they felt was best for their country. I'd say that is a good thing not a sad thing.

Interesting. So youths voted for him but in fewer numbers than before.

This young woman won a scholarship through her own hard study so has a degree. Is from a run of the mill family. Not wealthy/Not poor . Just making their way . Oh and she has lupus so the NHS is important for her as none in her family would ever afford private health insurance.

So it works both ways really & just goes to show that depending on personal situations and ideology for a nation, we can all think differently. She is sad too.
