Some people seem to be unable to take advice without moaning and mocking - so very childish.

Indeed and Corbyn is the reason Labour stopped winning.

Much better than flowing into Russian Oligarch's accounts :-)

@dm32904 no, because if the Russians win we'll just face more and more battles till there's no NHS.

@dm32904 sorry but you don't make the slightest sense. All wars should be fought overseas and never at home.

@dm32904 It's just obvious isn't it - if you don't help other countries that you consider friendly then one day the countries on your doorstep will all be unfriendly and at that point you will end up fighting your wars at home.,

it's just exposing how desperate people are to pretend that climate change isn't happening so they don't have to change their behavior.

Isn't it simpler to blame the current leader for current problems? No No obviously not - if we lost we must keep going in the same direction and try again!

@pjay3028 Blair is now used up, as happens with all politicians, but he managed to be considered a viable alternative by a lot of people. JC might be a nice man but he has not managed to offer a "political home" to enough people. His supporters love him and want him at all costs and the cost is .... losing.

@pjay3028 some people remember bad things about nationalised rail. At best it sounds like a change that will simply have different tradeoffs. It's a "back to the old days" idea as well which depends on how great you really think the old days were and it doesn't seem like there's any truly new thinking in it.

Ian Brown As many as me and I'm not PM either so it really isn't relevant. Corbyn didn't even get the chance to "kill" anyone.

@pjay3028 I worked for Nokia and it took a huge hit because it made some fundamentally terrible decisions and within the company there was never any recognition that X or Y was a mistake. It was always "try harder the same as before." Hence it was clear to me that being able to go bust (or be forced to sell) is not a disaster overall. It stops unworkable schemes from going on endlessly and lets people with other ideas get their chance. I would be opposed to any situation, private or otherwise, where there was no way for new thinking to get in and perhaps demonstrate that it is a better fit for new circumstances.

 @pjay3028 Sorry for mis-answering you. I think that the great challenge in life is to create something which can change without breaking down, for sure.

@pjay3028 It was the other way around. Nokia dumped its disastrous phone division on Microsoft and lived to fight another day. Microsoft then poured money into a lost battle. On various social media groups, ex-Nokians debate what happened and still can't agree what should have been done to save the company. That's why I think it was hopeless - our competitors knew what to do and we could not adjust our culture to match them even after years of data and analysis..

@pjay3028 he sabotaged the S60 platform I was working on by calling it a "burning platform". It had a little truth but his words immediately got out and trashed whatever chance it still had. He then killed off the next platform I got to work on called Meltemi. It was Linux based. He said the OS war was over and thee was no point. I have to say I laughed a lot at how he failed to apply the same logic to his favourite platform, Windows Phone. Now the world can see American behaviour in a trade dispute the time for alternative operating systems is sort of back.

@pjay3028 I think Nokia sort of knew the game was up when it did the deal. Microsoft's actions were dastardly but the joke was on them in the end :) Nokia saved it's shareholders a fortune and is back in the phone business again now after a hiatus. How can I put it? They got Elop so that he could pave the way for what MS wanted, he did destructive stuff and then Microsoft swallowed the bait. The blinder was played by Nokia, ultimately.

@dm32904 it really needed to go to Russian education but now it is - the school of hard knocks unfortunately. -
