I see Corbyn is trying bribe the electorate with more public holidays.
All part of the socialist "Money-Grows-On-Trees" in Lala Land syndrome.

Isn't that what job sharing is supposed to achieve?

I have to say I admire Corbyn for sticking to his principles, even if
they almost certainly mean political suicide for his party and,
ultimately, him as party leader.

All Corbyn has are a bunch of airy fairy principles. I don't admire him
for sticking to them, I regard him with utter contempt as a man who has
never grown up enough to face reality, and is just a puppet of the hard
left who have their fingers right up his bottom.

I don't think a few bank holidays will make much odds. The problem really is
that as there has been no in living memory socialist government that has
worked, most people do not understand how its supposed to work. The worry
is, of course that neither does he. Utopia is wonderful but hard to achieve
in a world run by capitalists.

It's even harder in a world run by socialists.

But of course this world is not run by capitalists. Its not run by anybody.

Very true, harry. After two terms of Tory mismanagement, the economy
certainly needs sorting. And even more so when we actually quit the EU.
Which again happened because of Tory mismanagement. So I take it you will
not be voting Tory?

Around a 1.5% drop in productivity, which is small compared with
how far we're behind other EU countries anyway.

No, different thing.

I also admire politicians who have genuine principles, for standing
up for what they believe in, and not bowing down to party and career
progression. There aren't anywhere near enough of them. People like
Corbyn, Blair, Tony Benn, Hilary Benn, Heseltine, Tebbit, Thatcher,
etc. That doesn't mean I support their views - I don't think anyone
could support all the above, but I respect them for being genuine
to their own beliefs.

Unfortunately, I can't say that of anywhere near enough politicians.

I remember the morning after the start of the banking crisis when
share prices took a tumble and the Pound Sterling was under pressure,
Harriet Harman wanted Parliament to discuss a motion on gender
balance.

Labour is completely irrelevant politically, currently.

Likely for more than a decade too like they were with that other fool Foote.

And its unlikely they will go for another like Blair any decade soon either.

Their only real possibility is a coalition with SNP and I can't
see that happening either with SNP getting more rabid by
the day as they try to get out of the UK and back into the EU.

Isn't that what job sharing is supposed to achieve?


Sure, but 4 more bank holidays isnt going to get that.

And it isnt as if the current unemployment rate in Britain
is a problem in the parts of Britain that matter, and in the
dregs of Britain, 4 more bank holidays wont achieve a
damned thing where hardly anyone actually has a real job.

I have to say I admire Corbyn for sticking to his principles,


I dont when they are terminally stupid. Same with that other fool Foote.

even if they almost certainly mean political suicide for his party


More complete irrelevancy.

and, ultimately, him as party leader.


I doubt it. Foote lasted for a hell of a long time.
Thats the way that party works and they wont
be buying another Blair any decade soon now.

Not that I mind, there is very little of Labour policy
that makes any sense at all. Tho you can certainly
argue that a viable democracy needs a viable
opposition just to keep the Torys from doing
really stupid stuff like the poll tax etc.

Socialism always fails.
No exceptions.

Responding to the title only, I happened to read Craig Murray this
morning on the Marr Interview with Corbyn:

" ...he went for the tabloid favourite. Would Corbyn push the button and
fire nuclear missiles? It says a very great deal about our politics that
it is taken by the media establishment as axiomatic that anybody who
will not participate in the probable destruction of the entire human
race, is the crazy person in the room."

He does have a point.

Perhaps he does, but it is flawed.

It fails when it runs out of "free" money.
When their gas runs out it will collapse.
I notice you don't mention Sweden any more.

I also admire politicians who have genuine principles, for standing
up for what they believe in, and not bowing down to party and career
progression. There aren't anywhere near enough of them. People like
Corbyn, Blair, Tony Benn, Hilary Benn, Heseltine, Tebbit, Thatcher,
etc. That doesn't mean I support their views - I don't think anyone
could support all the above, but I respect them for being genuine
to their own beliefs.

Unfortunately, I can't say that of anywhere near enough politicians.


Indeed. Greater love hath no politician than that he'd willingly
lay down the lives of millions of other people in pursuit his
principles.

I mean. Maximillian Robespierre, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot.



Now let's see.

Maximillin Robespierre, Reign of Terror 1793,1794 estimated 40,000 killed

Joseph Stalin estimates of those executed, worked or starved to death
20-60 million

Mao Tse Tung Great Leap Forward estimated 45 million dead

Pol Pot, Up to 25% of the Cambodian poulation killed between 1 and 3
million people.


Meanwhile, somewhere in Southern England (one assumes)


You omitted "... all the while stealing their money and spending it on things
they neither need nor want."


A retired Bankster has a little moanette about income tax.

Cry Me a River.

Taxpayer support for UK banks: FAQs

a.. Provision of cash in the form of loans to the Financial Services Compensation
Scheme and insolvent
b.. banks to support deposits, and the purchase of share capital in Royal Bank of
Scotland and Lloyds Banking Group.
Peak support (£bn)
Guarantee commitments 1,029
Cash outlay 133
Total peak support 1,162

Think about it..

they want to reduce unemployment so have less working days for some and
employ more. ;-)


Isn't that what job sharing is supposed to achieve?

I have to say I admire Corbyn for sticking to his principles, even if
they almost certainly mean political suicide for his party and,
ultimately, him as party leader.

All Corbyn has are a bunch of airy fairy principles. I don't admire him
for sticking to them, I regard him with utter contempt as a man who has
never grown up enough to face reality, and is just a puppet of the hard
left who have their fingers right up his bottom.



Here, ere, total agree.

Norway hasnt failed. In fact their socialism
is why every single norwegian has lots more
money than they would otherwise have had.

When their gas runs out it will collapse.


Only in your pathetic little drug crazed fantasyland.

I notice you don't mention Sweden any more.


It hasnt collapsed either.

Part time is better than zero hours contracts.



Not all zero hour contracts are bad.
Some people want to be on the NHS bank system and supply teaching, etc.


Yes. I well remember a obviously well heeled retired gent using his new
Merc for Uber. It suited him to work or not when he wanted. So very
representative of mini cab drivers.

Something along the lines of people who actually want zero hours
contracts being a very small fraction of those forced to take them?
Perhaps?
