UK general election

[Master]

The things on the leaked manifesto look spectacular. Thing is much of this stuff was ordinary stuff that people took for granted until neo liberalism swept all before it. Labour under Corbyn has become the real deal. This isn't any 'We will abuse you a little bit less then the Tories', this is full on 'We are giving you your country back'. How's he gonna pay for it cry the lapdogs. How they always did. Tax the rich, big business and them alone. You don't like it? Fuck off.

It is good, positive and will combat the inequality that the Tories have caused which has deeply divided the ultra rich and the ordinary person. They said it is the manifesto that Ed Miliband did not have the courage to implement during his election campaign.

It is quite beautiful to see policies such as renationalisation being brought back. These things were the post war concensus, these were the staples of society, so the media which calls Corbyn far left need to get a dictionary out and look at their definitions a little more closely. This is the kind of stuff that is needed. Corbyn is just so cool. He has a jazziness about him now, you can feel his confidence. May is stilted, stiff, robotic with phrases that mean nothing. Corbyn is flowing, he's got the zeitgeist, the kids love him. Everyone is spreading the word. Even I am here. People are getting it. I was waxing lyrical about the brilliance of Corbyn to a friend and he had to say to me "Look you don't need to convince me. It is me you are talking to!". He gets Jeremy Corbyn too, then we call our families, talk to our friends and spread the word. 4 more weeks to tell more and more people. Corbyn! Corbyn! Corbyn!

Be gone you doubters, coming into this thread and not even discussing the election. Distracting. We let you have your Trump, good luck with that. It is now our time. Corbyn! Corbyn! Corbyn! It is time to sparkle and shine. To do it through hope and be gone with the fear. It has been dark too long and too many lost their way and gave up hope and some even turned to the dark side. I too fell into the dark, but now there is something to believe in. Corbyn! Corbyn! Corbyn! It is time.

How can the electorate not vote for Labour when he has got such great policies for students, workers on zero hour contracts, people on benefits that have been severely cut, patients, public sector workers like teachers and nurses, commuters and consumers of utilities?

I think it's the "Not what you know but who you know association syndrome" I just made it up along with it's snappy acronym NWYNBWYKAS.


So people know instinctively that being around and connected to successful people is beneficial for you, particularly in business and employment. So that fact that May and the conservative cabinet are all incredibly rich means to them that they must be doing something right and know what they are doing. They think by voting Tory that not only are they being aspirational but are buying into that success by association. The fact that May's own husband has made that money by working for investment firms that profit from huge American thieving corporations like Amazon and Starbucks who refuse to pay their share of tax and are actually robbing us is easy to miss.

All that money concentrated among select families at the top actually makes it harder for small businesses and self employed people to compete on a level playing field. They are not even playing field capitalists.

Returning services to the Public sector is also a far more patriotic thing to do. Why should China , France, Germany and America get to profit from our utilities why we struggle with some of the worst services in the world?

I just made it up. Why should America get to profit from our utilities why we struggle with some of the worst services in the world?
