Nationalisation of public assets, electricity, water railways etc. Surely better than the way we are being screwed by the likes of southern rail who take taxpayers money dont provide a good service yet still turn a tidy profit.

Where does corbyns help for small business and entrepreneurs fit into your labour = communist twaddle?

Are you old enough to remember when the railways were nationalised? If you were a commuter you spent your evenings checking whether a strike was scheduled for the next day. A strike usually orchestrated by the communist Hugh Scanlon (later Baron Scanlon). The general railway service was pretty bad too and fares seemed to go up all the time - despite the bailouts of tax-payers money thrown at them from time to time.

 


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

It does not have to be like that the East coast line was successful run directly the problem with private ownership of railways is that its hugely costly to keep the network up and have new rolling stock etc. when required, private profits are creamed off and not re-invested not re-invested as they would be in the east coast model.

Some businesses are just not suitable for franchising or privatisation cut the ideology and do what the circumstances demand.

Left and right politics no way to run things.

Err...I'm old enough to remember Hugh Scanlon was leader of the Amalgated Union of Engineering Workers not leader of railway workers' union...and that he retired in 1979...

How old are you?

Good point! I'm getting my communist agitators mixed up. Ray Buckton was ASLEF leader who caused so much misery for rail users in the 70s.

You are certainly getting mixed up today Hedgie.Ray Buckton wasn't a communist but don't let that stand in the way of your agitation.

Worth a read if you've accused Corbyn of being a terrorist sympathiser, of anti sometimes or a myriad of other well spun bulls*** 'facts'

Reads like a very poor list of excuses. Trying to rewrite history.

Accusing the Guardian and Mail of slandering Corbyn, I await the court case.

Anti-Semites, Do you think he has honestly done enough to address the issues with Jackie Walker and her mob?

Have a read of this.
The Sunday Times reported that when asked whether he would condemn IRA actions in Warrington, Mr Corbyn did not respond. He also failed to respond when asked if he would visit the Parry family, the Times said.

I have no problems with anyone wanting or supporting a united Ireland, but to openly support those murdering scumbags is a good enough reason for me not to vote for this moron.

Poor list of excuses backed up by evidence and looking at out of context quotes provided by anti Corbyn media in the context they were made.

Corbyn could find a cure for cancer and you'd still find fault. Years of unsubstantiated Corbyn is crap type stories have shaped your thinking unfortunately. Look beyond the headlines and the truth will out.
