The policies you say (earlier in the thread) are interesting are being labelled as hard left by sections of the media. Are they? Edited by nickgusset (12 May 2017 10.00pm)

There are people on here who have been a lot more "combative" than me ...on both the left and right. It's a subjective view though, others will see it differently. One thing I've been wondering, I keep hearing that Labour would allow unlimited immigration. Is there any evidence for this? Didn't immigration numbers go up over the past few years? I think we can all agree that the disastrous forays into different conflicts, particularly Iraq, are a driver behind the rise in immigration as people flee the likes of ISIS (who it could be argued only came into being because of the power vacuum and disorder following the war). talking of Prescient, watch this from 4 minutes in.

I reckon you must be like Roger Rabbit in the 'shave and a haircut' scene Seems the only arguments against the lefts (bar one or two exceptions) points are either 'Corbyn is unelectable' type stuff without basis, it's unworkable (without finding out whether this is true or not) or personal attacks.

Have Labour promised a free owl to everyone as part of their manifesto? Owls are wise and old, like Jezza, and form an integral part of any 'progressive' society. The arrangement will be costed by Labour also giving everyone a free kestrel, which would eat the owl and thus the 'costing' for the upkeep of the owl, after borrowed capital investment, would be nil. The cost of the upkeep of the kestrel will be eliminated by the provision of free baboons to everyone, whom in turn would eat the kestrel and thus the circle of provision continues. This is all costed. They tell us this but won't explain how becaus it would be 'misrepresented' by the nasty, right wing media and anyone who can count & has access to a calculator.
