Socialism as a concept? Maybe However Corbyn and Momentum have spent the last 3 months distancing themselves from the achievements of Blair: Written off up to 100 per cent of debt owed by poorest countries He was apparently Tory Light.
My point about socialism not being outdated stands purely because some of the laws and policies that worked and have direct socialist principles have not been repealed. Workers rights, free health care, the idea of social housing, etc.

The UK consumed 37.8 million tonnes of coal in 2015, including 29.3 million tonnes in power stations. Seems to me there is a market, no? As Gusset says, have a pop ad hominem at Corbyn but please don't let facts get in your way. The "facts" are that usage of coal is on a steep decline in the UK.... particularly for generating power. We are gradually phasing out the polluting power sources (coal production will be reduced to zero but gas and oil will be significantly reduced too) with a view to replacing them with renewable sources like wind/solar generated and to a lesser degree nuclear generated - as well as developing smarter ways to store energy particularly at times when demand on the grid is low. It therefore makes no sense to re-open mine workings with all the cost of health and safety and draining them from decades of flooding as well retraining the workforce. So... in this case my "ad hominem pop" at Corbyn is fully justified... just like all the others were. It would help if you and Gusset stopped using fancy phrases and just spoke plain english like wot I do... LOL
All I try to do is give common sense replies that use simple easy to understand language and unquestionable facts yet I get castigated for criticising Gusset and others for using gobbledegook phrases like "Ad Hominen" and posting up lefty biased blogs. Edited by Hoof Hearted (30 Sep 2016 10.48am)

It gets worse. Corbyn now promising everything but with no means to pay for it in typical Labour fashion. He even said that he might raise taxes. Political suicide. He got an 18 second round of applause. Poor Jeremy. Now back to the real world.

Corbyn is very happy with unrestricted immigration as official Labour policy,which has probably condemned them to opposition for generations.

You've posted that pyramid up on here countless number of times too Gusset.... it's largely ignored by the regular posters on here and yet again shows you ripping off others' material instead of creating your own stuff. If your memory and/or talents aren't that good to remember what you have or haven't posted start writing things down or keeping a log. Twas just a reminder that you barely make it past the second tier

But that said, it'd partly be the guilt of not having nominated for you a HOL award...

I do not think you have noticed that a huge amount of people joined labour last year for a very simple reason and that was just so that they could vote him in as leader again as they know he will never win a general election and keep the Tories in power for at least the next ten years. By having him as leader Labour as much chance of getting JC into downing street as I have of beating him to it.!! I bet the people who joined his party for £3 and £25 are laughing at Labour now.

Never mind all that guff Gusset. What is the point of reading your propaganda? In WWII people listened to Lord Haw Haw and were worried about the things he said until they realised he was a prize plum and just laughed at him. Another bloke that raised a laugh was Comical Ali the Iraqi war spokesman. You are pretty much on a par with them I'm afraid. Looks like you've just categorically proved Nick's point. By all means you can back your own viewpoint to the hilt, but going "lalalala I can't hear you and anyway it must be crap so I won't bother even reading it" when presented with reasoned counter argumements devalues anything you then go on to say in defence of your views.

I love this thread. 200 odd pages and the Maoists still think Corbyn can be PM. It ain't gonna happen. However, well done the Maoists for thinking it could. Keep reaching for that rainbow!
