    "When the wealth of the richest 1,000 people in Britain has increased by £50bn in one year, but there is not enough money to properly feed our children or pay workers a decent wage, then we have failed as a society." (Jeremy Corbyn, May 2019)

    'A ****', as @GroveRanger describes him.

    How is that relevant? Do you have to be poor to comment on how ****ed up society is? A decade of Tories in charge, is the UK in a better place now than it was before?

    When Brown was in charge there was no poverty or homelessness, it only appears when the Tory scum are in power .
    Let's abolish capitalism and redistribute the wealth from the rich to everyone else.

    There will be so much money left that we'll need to import even more diversity to spend it .

    Then we can get down to the serious business of banning cars fossil fuels and air travel.

    Just tax the rich 60-70% , not Starmer or Corbyn though they are the good and righteous millionaires.

    Even the people on the lowest income in the UK are richer than more than 85% of people on the planet.

    As benefits have increased, should those on benefits pay a contribution of their income to the poorer 85% of the world?

    Things are getting worse because we have managed to create a situation whereby personal accountability has been removed in favour of blaming others for what is wrong with you.

    The founding principles of the Golden Western age, replaced by identity politics and groupthink.

    These have always been prevalent in societies, just weren't pursued as Govt policies.

    The people pursuing it in Govt know what they are doing, the ordinary man on the street has no idea what they are doing other than virtue signalling.

    The “every man for himself, pull the ladder up Jack” model has never served humanity well. The mark of a civilised society is how well it treats it’s vulnerable members, and how it - we - look after those who have fallen on hard times.


    Also, all Tories are morally repulsive, shameful ****bags. This is a Universal Law.

    He certainly was a shambles as PM. As was the toff and war criminal Blair.

    And the less said about Codbin and the ultra privileged "silver spoon in the mouth" Stormer the better.

    Every one of them as pathetically inadequate as the Tories that are in power. Plus all lefty loonies are hypocrites, "look at all the people in need but I'm alright Jack", I'll just make it look like I give a ****.

    A shower of ****s, all politicians of all persuasions.

    He was more right wing than some Tories.

    He was one you certainly couldn't trust. A slimy, slippery and malicious power crazed individual.

    A Champagne Socialist if ever there was one.
