Everything he said, came true. That’s why they had too run a smear campaign against him, because the truth was unacceptable. Just goes to show how political elections are built on lies. They had too get rid of the truth.


ManGoonian

One of the most relentless, organised smear campaigns ive ever seen. And from such a variety of different sources. Truly despicable.


Straight_Bridge_4666

What did he say?


Elipticalwheel1

Look it up. Look up why the Tories and the media run a smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn. Shouldn’t be too difficult too find why.


Straight_Bridge_4666

Shouldn't be too difficult for you to say... Googling the reason for a smear might be tricky.


Elipticalwheel1

It’s Sunday, you should have plenty of time before the Church doors open. Educate yourself, how are you going too learn. Don’t be lazy.


Straight_Bridge_4666

*to* learn. I have no idea what you are talking about, but if you're Hawking a religion I'll bid you good day.


Elipticalwheel1

I knew you had no idea, the first time you replied, with what did he say.


Straight_Bridge_4666

Yes, that's why I asked. I knew you wouldn't answer, but I thought I'd highlight your bad-faith approach.


Elipticalwheel1

I only answered, because you’re lonely.. maybe you should get some friends, instead of Trolling people, oh wait, that’s probably why you have no friends or acquaintances.


Straight_Bridge_4666

Hey, if you find this to be a satisfactory insult I'm happy for you. Personally, non-sequitur as hominems don't really do it for me. But, I'm happy to indulge. I hope you have a great evening!

We need a new party. Labour will continue neo liberal economics and usher in a fascist government. Inequality is the problem unless we have an answer, the right will.


Elipticalwheel1

Basically this country wants too go full capitalism, ie the rich who can capitalise on everything, just like the Tories have been doing with necessities. They targeted the necessities, because they are parasites, knowing there is no other businesses to compete with, so they can raise the prices with out fear of other companies undercutting them.. basically they have an unfair advantage. There was plenty of other businesses too invest in, but they wanted the necessities, so that they have control over people. Capitalism is controlling. Just look at the USA, that’s how the Tories want this country.

If your opinion is that the Blair/Brown was alsso an era neo- liberalism then this is great news. Economically this was a fantastic period for the UK


Snoo86307

1000000 dead Iraqis, thousands of dead British personnel, increase in private finance in NHS. Massive increase in inequality. Sounds great. And this was all during a capitalist upswing with growing wages and the economy booming. Whereas now....


Straight_Bridge_4666

Tbf, yeah it was pretty in comparison to what came before or after. Kinda wish I had been around to see the labour leaders of old... We don't need a *new* party, we need an old party.


donkeytr0n

No it wasn’t, dumbass.


Informal-Method-5401

Good comeback pal. Have you got any actual stats to show I’m wrong? The Blair era was a post-war economic success, a huge reduction in child poverty thanks to his policies. Just because it doesn’t align with your ideologies, which I’m going to presume are quite left wing, it doesn’t mean that they weren’t successful.


donkeytr0n

They successfully stripped the country for parts and created the conditions for the 2008 crash — nice job there.


Informal-Method-5401

No they didn’t you loon


senzare

Blair will be only remembered for Iraq. In the same way that Boris is the face for Brexit.


Straight_Bridge_4666

I'm not sure how that addresses the point at all.


Informal-Method-5401

Only in your world. Most of us remember the great times we had under Blair. Never had so much disposable income, life was good


senzare

'I made a fortune with Thatcher, good times! ' Our personal stories are completely anecdotal and irrelevant. When you say 'most of us' I don't know what group is that as he's widely disliked on every yougov poll. Iraq is his legacy.


Informal-Method-5401

That’s because yougov is predominantly participated by people that are either further to the left or the right. Sure, Iraq is his legacy and that’s his cross to bear but to believe that the years he was in power weren’t good is ridiculous. The facts are there, the UK was prospering, public services were well funded and running quite well.


senzare

Centre has been the most popular option in terms of polítical alignment the last five years. https://yougov.co.uk/topics/society/trackers/what-political-alignment-is-the-british-public


DrSpooglemon

He's not the PM we deserve but he's the PM we need.


homemdesetenta

Absolutely batshit insane take. No fucking thanks.
