As Labour leader, Gordon Brown was incessantly vilified. His way of speaking was mocked. His efforts to offset the banking crisis created by casino style speculators in the city suddenly turned into blaming Labour for overspending on public services to create the deficit. Similarly, Ed Miliband was reviled as not being a 'patriot', for being unable to eat a bacon sandwich gracefully, for being too left wing and lacking the qualities a 'leader' needs. The media had no interest in Labour's policies. Now, in 2017, it is the same as it ever was. Unless Labour offers a right wing, Tory agenda it will be constantly attacked as not fit to run the country. The ruling elite - the establishment - wants their Tory party in charge.

First, i'll hold me hands up and admit i was wrong... [Link] ... the richest thousand people have increased their wealth by 80 BILLION, not 40.

So what about the poor? Well i've provided you with information from the Resolution Foundation and the IFS who have both meticulously detailed how badly average wages have falled in real terms this decade. The Rowntree Foundation, another non-governmental, bipartisan group, have similar findings. You are welcome to question all three, but unless you have your own findings, or a more credible source to counter, you shouldn't just blindly claim they have vested interests. That's just superstition, as opposed to proper thorough criticism.

Blair was undeniably a war criminal, but then this government has supported and aided numerous regimes who are also responsible for war crimes, mainly the Saudis in Yemen. What they are also doing which Blair didnt do however, is conducting what is the biggest political heist in modern UK history. Let me say it one more time: in the worst decade for wages in post war Britain, the top 1000 in this country have increased their wealth by 80 billion pounds. That's why so many are funding the Tory's campaign, that's why the Toroes WILL use Brexit as a means of tipping the balance even further towards them, while those in work use food banks and ex servicemen can't find a roof over their heads.

They must be absolutely laughing.

If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

Indeed. A few in the Labour Party don't like Corbyn making labour a party for workers. c***s

The New Labour faction. The same people the people who are complaining about Corbyn not representing, complained about.

But then I don't use public transport that much,once a fortnight from Bedford to norwood junction,which costs £28,which let's be fair is not a lot.
but the one thing that really pisses me off is I can never get a seat.
Same train every fortnight and always only 4 carriages.

always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

But you could also smoke on many of them, which was a plus. They phased them out on the Waterloo to Reading line fairly recently (last 10 years or so).

They used to have the little passageway with the compartments off them, with the sliding doors. Straight out of Cracker and Prime Suspect.
