Trains, Banks and Public/Private Ownership - Prev.Predict UK Gen.Election Result

Okay, this is pretty funny (if ultimately meaningless):

Tory 'strong and stable' advertising van overturns in the wind

Yes we've known that for four weeks, though the van overturning is quite important. 

[Josquius]

I was optimistic before alas there's just too many stupid people in the UK and the media has really pushed the London Bridge thing hard.

On the flipside, liberal outlets (like the Guardian), seem no longer interested in Corbyn bashing. All knives are directed at the Conservatives.

The last time the UK tried to build Corbyn's dream society ended up with power failures and other success stories. He would be a disaster.

I'm no defender of Corbyn.

When was this Tamas?

Would point out:

a) That the last government Corbyn would have approved of would be the 1945-51 Labour Govt under Attlee (and then only on domestic policy)
b) The power failures I think you are referring too, occurred under a Tory Government in 73/74 along with the 3 day week
c) You may also be thinking of the Winter of Discontent when there were lots of strikes (but the power stayed on IIRC). This was under a Labour Government but one run by moderates against whom Corbyn would have campaigned aggressively.

That's not to say Corbyn wouldn't be an unmitigated disaster.

Shush now, don't you try dismantling the foundations myths of thatcherism.



People born during its era have swallowed them hook, line and sinker.

Pretty sure Thatcher saved Britain as it was about to collapse into a socialist wasteland after 10 seconds more of pinko Labour rule and communist union bosses stealing all the public's money for their fat cat coal miners.

[Josquius]

I used to quite dislike Corbyn.
Then labour actually announced their manifesto.
Brexit is bad but otherwise nothing you wouldn't see elsewhere in Europe. Pretty sensible all round.

There is nothing weird about waiting for Great Leader's weekly words of wisdom.
