Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury

[Mister M 1,625]

The people that I generally speak to when I am out and about, mostly working class people I will add, can't stand the man. As I have said before he appeals to middle class youngsters who go to University not the working class

 

Why, what's their problem with him?

That must be why Sheffield has so many Tory MPs.

After spending two years expending every piece of ammo they have, this is what it's come down to: he's not very nice.

 

:hihi:

They don't like his brand of fluffy socialism, I know many working class people both young and old who no longer have much affinity with the Labour party, me included, and I was a union member for over 30 years.

You might want to listen more carefully. Confirmation bias is a hazardous thing.

 

At the last election 52% of middle-class professionals aged under 35 voted for the Labour party, whereas 70% of younger people in the DE social category voted Labour. So Labour is more popular with the working class youngsters.

So what brand of socialism would they like to see him proselytise?

You should get out more and stop believing all the garbage people give you statistically fella, I would argue many working class people don't bother voting ... now prove me wrong

I get out plenty. I just don't count people's opinions, I'm far too busy having a good time.

 

Believe what you want to. I've given you the facts.

You've always been more of a NF/BNP person as evidenced from the following;

 

It's a fact of life people can choose, the white kids became the minority at AGS and many white families moved away from the catchment areas of Sharrow, Abbeydale, Nether Edge and Carterknowle. I moved my family away from Sharrow in the mid 80s, best thing I ever did !

I don't want to upset you but you have a Labour MP.

They sound a delightful bunch! You've said that they don't like his brand of fluffy socialism, what brand of socialism were they attached to before?

Why does Corbyn have such a excessive and Messiah like reaction from his supporters.

 

What exactly does he have which supposedly makes him such a great leader and THE only choice to run this country. What skills and experience in and out of politcs makes him so good. What exactly is so impressive about speaking to the converted and making wild statements about what you promise to do in power. Any moron deeply embedded in opposition can make any statement they like to their disciples that impress because they know they will never have to deliver.

 

When will people just accept that he lost the majority by an even more huge margin than May and the Tories. It shows to me that whilst the unions and students may fall for his guff. The rest of the electorate can see right through it.

 

You bang on about the DUP having the Tories over a barrel. How is Compo going to get on with his 4 way gang bang of support from the SNP (who want independance from this union) Sinn Fein (who want a united ireland) the liberals (who have no party leader or credibility) and the greens (who think the world will run on pixie dust and fairy farts).

 

You think a rabble like that is some how superior to the Tories deal with the DUP? You think two out of four coilition partners seeking independance is really going to be good for the needs of the country?

 

Keep telling yourself that.

 

It's funny how the right wing media and their sycophants were all for a bit of populism in the EU,it was going to bring down the EU,the dominoes were going to fall,except they didn't,now when a bit of populism rears its head on their own patch,suddenly it's not such a good idea.
