Corbyn is consistent, and I respect that. But he did appear to change
his opinion on the referendum. Do you know any background to that? Was
he persuaded? Or was it misreported?

I'm not an expert on Corbyn. He was asked on a Ch4 show (the last leg?)
and he said he was about 7/10 in favour of the EU. He was also reported as
speaking at more meetings on the referendum than most.

But giving his honest opinion about the EU isn't what goes down well with
the likes of those on here. Where everything is only ever seen in black or
white.


I think that's why he found
himself unable to jump up and down with enthusiasm for staying in, and
has since been criticised for it. I think there was some inner conflict
there, but I don't really know. It's a genuine question, BTW. I'm no
great fan of partisan politics.

You're unusual on here. The majority of the vocal ones seem to be rather
right of Atilla the Hun - and must be now cheering on the Turkish
government, but wouldn't admit to after using them as a reason to get out
of the EU. So not quite sure why they are so obsessed with blackening the
character of Corbyn.

Maybe the conspiracy theorsits are right in that Corbyn wants to charge Blair with war crimes and many don't want that to happen to an ex labour MP.
Or that Corbyn is too far out of date and they don;t want labour to be led by an out of date leader and that's all the really have at the moment.



The very idea of building affordable rent housing rather than spending
billions on replacing Trident is something which couldn't be contemplated..

If it's affordable it won;t be good for the EU as that relies on credit.

Another rumour is that the EU or rather Germany don;t like the UK model where people own stuff like houses, they want the massess to rent on long term contracts of between 5-15 years so there's constant profit in the market that can be steerred politically.



Oh I forgot the final conspiracy Corbyn is a lizard ;-)
