Th...Yet as you say she still polls stronger the JC. There's a bit of dissonance going on here between the small c conservatism of general voters and the radical left image of JC. Looks like the British would prefer this donkey with a blue roset rather than entering into even more unknown waters with Labour. However, this may change if/ when the shit really hits the "flan"....<br /><br />What was it I was saying about the French? <br /><br />https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-france/a-no-deal-brexit-better-than-a-bad-deal-french-minister-idUSKCN1MD0J4Speedynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486641877026778105.post-45243738214686046132018-10-04T07:18:53.884+01:002018-10-04T07:18:53.884+01:00What the establishment wants, is a bunch of medioc...What the establishment wants, is a bunch of mediocre careerist shills in power, and when we get thoroughly sick of that particular bunch, they appease us with another bunch of mediocre careerist shills. That's exactly what happened when Blair won. Then after that, the Tories again. Corbyn has upset that, some degree. The whole of the mainstream media went after him like a pack of upper class huntsmen. The Daily Mail, the BBC, the supposedly left leaning Guardian went for him again and again, so much so that even non partisan people and some Tories were openly disgusted. It backfired, and their persecution has led to a backlash. <br /><br />I'm left of centre and supportive of Corbyn not because I am some one who wants socialism, but because we need lots of council housing built, less top down bungling, a fairer share of the economic pie, some badly needed representative democracy, a fairer minimum wage, more workers rights, capped electricity and gas bills, a better transport system, a less biased media for starters. I'm not a fool, all politicians promise much and deliver much less, but nobody believes the Tories anymore about anything they say. We need change, at the very least. Unless the Tories u turn on everything they are going to do, that change will come with a Labour party. Rich people don't need tax breaks, Tory shires and towns already have enough, it's time we had democracy again, in short, and not a Richocracy.Tmbnoreply@blogger.com
