He is also a former vice-chairman of CND committed to unilateral nuclear disarmament. Now of course he has said he will renew Trident.
The point is, he is far from being a 'man of principle', he is bending to the wind and pursuing votes.

The guy can't win. He says he wants to help the NHS, education, public services and there's not enough money and we must live within our means. He outlines how he will do this financially and it's not fair on the elites who we're so reliant upon (despite the fact they ironically caused the mess the economy is in). He talks about the need to end nuclear weapons and he's deluded. He instead decides to renew them with the outlook of progressively easing tensions and confrontations, he's now not a man of principle. He's been accused of not being able to lead or do what's necessary to win. He then is blasted by people like you for taking action to "pursue votes". Whilst all this goes on the Tories are subject to barely any scrutiny from the media, get headlines for attacking Corbyn and somehow have the time to decide they like killing foxes. I still don't know what the Tories policy is on pretty much anything but somehow the people of this country remain adamant that they are the ones who have their best interests at heart. It's mad

 


We're the Arthur over ere!

With all due respect, it was you who said Regardless of your opinion on policies, the media have consistently said "Corbyn is a man of principle, that should count for something." In my opinion, it should count for everything
I'm merely suggesting that he is not really 'a man of principle'.

 


We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

And I disagree, with all due respect.

political partys are like penguin biscuits different coloured wrappers but inside exactly the same biscuits.

When Willo goes out canvassing, is it in a Ford anglia with a megaphone speaker attached to the roof?

Politicians should be able to change their mind on various policies. Some changes are harder to sell than others for obvious reasons but situations change and a good politician should be able to adapt.

 


the dignified don't even enter in the game

I know, but lets not pretend that they are 'principled'.

Piss awful project management from within. Millions wasted. They should have brought in an external consultancy to oversee the whole thing.

What you mean like Accenture.

It may come as news to you but it was that very organisation that crashed and burned big time. Just over ten years ago.
