You seem utterly unable to engage any kind of judgement yourself unless you are told what to think. I am if nothing else a pragmatist. I can see quite clearly how Corbyn was a real threat to the establishment that you and your fellow Trump and Johnson fans have always supported, and that is why a campaign was orchestrated against him.

That does not mean he is some kind of perfect Messiah like Trump has become to you. Corbyn is a man with flaws like anyone else and i can point out his faults and those in his arguments without resorting to destroying the man. This seems to be what is holding you back from progressing beyond your teenage mindset. All or nothing for you because you are an idealogue.

I have voted for the Greens, the Labour Party and would back an independent if they had the right policies. We do not have a presidential system here, and so you vote for your local candidate, not the leader of their party.

When i talked to him Corbyn impressed me with his genuine interest in local affairs in my city and his unwillingness to be treated preferentially. That was in fact exactly why i got that opportunity to talk to him ahead of all the nationals.

That does not mean antisemitism does not exist, and it certainly exists on the left, and among many of Corbyns contemporaries and colleagues, but compared to the blatant racism of the Tories and our current Prime Minister it is not the endemic problem it is made out to be.

As a gesture of good faith i will send you a link to an article I wrote about it and maybe that will make my thinking a bit clearer for you.

Yes my argument would boil down that way if the person doing the "boiling" was an absolute retard.

Oh a Socialist AND Pragmatist ooooh how about that and you think for yourself too...well it's good you accept full responsibility and don't blame anyone for how dumb you are.

Boris has turned out to be no better than May IMO....the Tories really should have pushed for Farrage, but that's my opinion. Britain is too far off to the left and as soon as there's a Labour PM again they'll try to get back into the EU.

I'm not someone who think Trump is perfect as a man or leader. I think he was the best candidate the people who are no longer listened to, the working man and woman you ACT like you've got so much in common with, Trump was their voice and he did right by them.

I don't need a British civics lesson, I know the PM is chosen by Parliament.

So Labour's racism & antisemitism is BETTER than the racism & antisemitism in the Tory Party?


Yeah I'm not engaging in any DM's with you. You want to talk to me, do it on the forum. I'm not your buddy, I'm not your pal, I'm not accepting DM's from you. I deleted that bullshit don't send anymore or I'll delete those too.

Oh bless your heart....I don't have to "fantasize" about that
