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.
They should thinking how to fix the economy instead of heading for
economic disaster.

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?

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.
