What does any of this have to do with the general election?

Well, I may say, that at this juncture I think it is fair to say that jeremy Open Borders Corbyn has DEFINITELY just lost the election. There wont be a Brit in sight, not even a Cultural Enrichment Warrior (CEW), who would dare support open borders and bringing in hundreds of thousands of Muslim migrants.

This man is infused with the spirit of Tony Benn. It's almost as though Benn descended from on high and said 'I know my son turned out to be a rotter, but you Jeremy, are going to devote the rest of your life to the cause and make this thing right again'. And he has taken it on and may well go down as one of the most important figures in British history.

But what if your wealth comes from the privatisation of state services? Or what if your wealth is all inherited? Or what if your wealth comes from corporations that pay less tax than the poorest bloke who pays 20% VAT on every loaf of bread?

You can do the 'It's all mine' game, but all money ultimately comes from the same money pot. In the past it spread more easily and society ran better. Today we have let the rich hide it and things are falling apart and going back to the Victorian days.

You have an obvious choice. You can have mass inequality and workcamps or you can have greater equality and decent working conditions. You seem to be alligning yourself with one extreme, Brock. The alternative isn't communism, it is moderate capitalism and it is the system that existed when you were a kid.
