Never seen more than an expletive in a post from you shows how rattled you are. You don't even know what'rattled' means.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

There seems to be a lot of people at a loss as to why the guy is so popular amongst tge young so i'll give it a go from my perspective... If you're coming out of school/uni today, you're looking at society and just not seeing any hope at all. We've had brexit which is really gonna rock us, but more importantly the jobs which offer security are drying up. This i think is the most crucial point: if you want a job, it's easy, but most of those jobs i, for example, am looking at are never gonna come close to paying rent, bills, food and a bit spare. That goes across the board pretty much. I have mates training to be nurses, teachers, some who did apprenticeships, up to me who went to uni and studied hard but is still looking at a service job to get by. Add on the debt i racked up at uni, and the fact that my financial outgoings like rent and food are only gonna increase...you can see why a lot of young people are seeing corbyn as our only hope. Then there's the other fact, that younger people feel more internationalist because we engage online and can travel fairly easily. My missus is polish, has studied and worked here but now has a PM refusing to guarantee her the right to stay. I am by no means alone, and i know a lot of people my age now who wanna get out of here because the nationalist chauvinism is blinding us, politically, from acting smart about our future. If you take that security away from people, they'll react against the system. It's a truism as old as the hills, and yet the tories, at the minute, dont seem to get it.

This also applies to May who could hardly answer a single question of Paxman's last night. In my lifetime, the choice of leaders to run this country has never been so low given their gaffs and backwards Manifesto half-promises at a parlous state that threatens to leave country in ever spiralling downward movement economically-speaking. How our children and their children will be paying for OUR mistakes for generations to come.

Is this like the old, 'I'll leave for Canada if Trump wins'....and then basically the vast majority didn't? And Irish ferries must be filled to overloading with all those remainers who told me they were ditching their British citizenship and becoming Irish. I know a couple of them and yeah...as usual...they were talking the usual emotional waffle. We need more space in this country....I do wish people who threatened to leave would actually do it.

"How much will it cost?" and then when he tries to look it up, giving him grief that he doesn't know it. Do they really expect Corbyn (and May, Sturgeon, Fallon etc) to know the precise costs for every policy in their manifesto? I consider myself a professional, but if someone asks me for a cost or a timescale on a project in a meeting, I'll almost always have to look it up - you just can't carry that amount of number sin in your head. Struck me that the interviewer just wanted to make herself look like Paxman. I'd rather someone looks it up and gives an accurate figure than do an Abbott and quote eleventy-twelve pounds

How our children and their children will be paying for OUR mistakes for generations to come. You're absolutely right, of course. The standard/quality/whatever you want to call it of politicians generally is the lowest I can remember. I understand that May performed pretty poorly last night, too. Personally, I wish nothing but a plague on all their houses but for this election, as I've said before, I think May is the least unacceptable of all the pretenders to power.

As Sporty & Cucking have said, the general standard of politician is pretty dire at the moment.
