  1. What you have is someone who appeals to the gullible and feckless. He just bribed people with the debt of their own children.

  2. You can consider education a 'right', but someone has to pay for it. The present system is by far the fairest. Those that profit from their higher education start paying back the cost once they can afford it. If they can never afford it, they never pay it back.

  3. The alt-right have much in common with Corbyn's hard core supporters.

  4. Expected Toulouse. That's the thing. It all has to be paid for. But the system breaks down if everyone demands their 'right' to higher education, but nobody wants to pay. Least of all those who benefit from it. Take free school meals, for example. We now have middle class parents who are perfectly able to pay for their kids food, wanting everyone else to pay for them. And if you argue against them, they bring up the statistics of how many households in the UK live in relative poverty. Even tho kids from poor households already get free school meals. You can't have the rights without the responsibilities. Because there are no rights without responsibilities. So now tell me what is wrong with those who benefited from higher education paying back when they are able?

  5. The hard left are always on the lookout for a new idol to pickle in formaldehyde.

  6. Just don't mention his support of IRA terrorists. Or his love affair with Hezbollah and Hamas. Or his support of Iran, and the fact that his entire manifesto was built on MASSIVE debt with no plan on how to ever pay it back!

  7. Perhaps you could tell us how he intended to pay that MASSIVE debt off? Considering that the tories, with what's laughingly called 'austerity' still managed to add to the countries borrowing? Are you hoping that if you ignore it, it'll all just go away? Would that be 'future UK's' problem? ...Boy, am I glad we're not that guy!

  8. No. I mean he supported the IRA. Went to their meetings. Honoured their dead. Etc. Even members of the IRA admit it. And say if anything, he actually prolonged the terror. Same with Hamas and Hezbollah. He supports them all the way. It's only until recently that he's reinvented himself as a 'man of peace'. And no doubt Corbyn's deluded acolytes are now claiming he sorted the deal with the Iranians too. Perhaps he did that while working for the ayatollah's Press TV? The same 'news' station that worked closely with Iranian security forces to torture confessions from Iranian dissidents. Nice principles he got there! As for 'the rich' paying off the UK's debt. Forget it. Unless you think they have the odd £1.7 trillion hidden about somewhere. Corbyn wanted to increase that to £2.3 trillion. And I'm kinda concerned about how we will manage to ever pay it back. Because doctors and nurses don't work for nothing. And if the country goes bust, they won't work at all.

  9. You mean you believe people should pay what they owe? So where does that put Corbyn's 'costed' manifesto?

  10. That's one thing we can agree on. Austerity is a lie. Because we don't have austerity. But I'm interested to know, seeing as Corbyn proposed to take UK debt from £1.7 trillion to £2.3 trillion, how you think we would ever manage to pay all that back? Because you've just listed things that happen when the country runs out of money because it has too much debt. And the answer to that is not more debt.

  11. The UK presently spends £39 billion a year on debt interest payments. That's £7 billion less than the entire defence budget. £5 billion more than is spent on housing. £9 billion more than is spent on social services. £10 billion more than is spent on transport. And a little under one third of the total NHS budget. Corbyn is desperate for power. And like all Marxists, he's quite prepared to bankrupt the country to get it.

  12. How is Corbyn good at economics? He just advocated MASSIVE government borrowing. With no plan on how to ever pay it back!

  13. Sorry? His manifesto is based on increasing UK debt from £1.7 trillion to £2.3 trillion. Borrowing shit loads of cash is not 'costing' anything! Costing it would mean setting out a plan on how to pay it all back! Something that would be unpopular. So Corbyn ignores it hoping it might just go away...

  14. Just some Stranger I have no idea what you're talking about.
