    Who do you post these ridiculous lies for? Is it just for yourself or do you just do it to make yourself look stupid? Because, as far as I can see, nobody with a braincell would pay them the slightest attention - except (like I am now) to get embarrassed on your behalf.

    Do you think that anti-austerity and/or re-nationalisation could be the next big debate? Maybe the next thing after the EU to becoming the big talking point?

    I doubt it - it's already the big issue; along with immigration and Europe; with many people, but the press are never going to give it the same amount of airtime - particularly the Murdoch press (remember readership of rightwing press is between 12-14m plus the Metro, left wing is 2-3m) and when they do they'd say it's some 'socialist/far-left unrealistically dangerous scheme' - similar to what they did to Corbyn/McDonald's costed policies on renationalisation of the railways.

    But I do think that if Labour remove Corbyn and don't appeal to the anti-austerity feeling in the country then they will lose hundreds of thousands or millions of votes and the Greens/SNP/Plaid ect will clean up as they all have anti-austerity policies, but just as many will stop voting altogether.

    Don't forget that the political window/Overton window has moved so far to the right that far-right parties like UKIP are now seen as acceptable, so I can't see there being a huge clamour in the press to renationalise everything at a time when there's been little protest from the public about the stealth privatisation of the NHS.

    Ahh sorry I must have missed the funny parts of his posts - they just came across as stupid drivel to me. I usually prefer some Bill Hicks
    or Brass Eye -
    but I did find this rather silly game which was amusing me last night - http://trumpdonald.org/

    I have been, but it's just embarrassing so I thought I'd ask the question.

    You just have to imagine he's in the box room of his mam's house, spending his days photoshopping this stuff to keep himself amused. He's living the life <laugh>

    I don't know who you are aiming your post at, but I don't think anyone disagrees that Corbyn's won't win a GE; that's not disputed, I don't think.

    The majority of Labour MPs think the voters are more important than the Labour Party members.
    All of the contestants in the Conservative Party leadership election think the deficit should be reduced but they have differing views about the speed. Regarding the Labour Party: does anti-austerity mean increasing the deficit or does it mean reducing the deficit more slowly?

    To be fair the MPs are more important, they know whats a winning formula (sort of) and being too far left will always result in a loss

    There are a quite a few, actually. Smirnoff disagrees, as you can see. As does Paul...

    It's not aimed at anybody in particular. It's my personal viewpoint, with which some disagree.

    Yes, being too far left wing will result in a loss with the electorate but will be a win with the members. Some MPs are facing deselection if they dont support Corbyn. The day of reckoning is coming.
