Re: Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th February 2017
It's a perfectly sound article, it's all very true. The frustrating thing is that Ed Miliband already made a much better run at standing up to the press and the corporations and the wealthy elite, the opportunity to change things was there in 2015 but rejected by the public. I don't understand why anyone thinks Corbyn is somehow more honest and decent than Ed and why they think he can succeed where Ed failed, coming from a much lower base and coming across as much less competent in interviews and far less impressive in speeches than Ed. I seriously suspect the wider voting public see him as in the exact same mould as Ed but even less personable and able. I don't dispute the magnitude of the difficulties Labour is up against in the face of an overwhelmingly hostile press, but that reality doesn't change the fact that everytime I heard Ed Miliband speak I was inspired and hopeful and every time I hear Corbyn speak I cringe and shake my head in disbelief. If Corbyn isn't saying the things a confirmed leftie like me wants to hear, when he is speaking direct rather than filtered by the media (such as after the referendum campaign) that is a problem you can't blame on the press. Everyone used to say Ed Miliband was far more impressive than they expected when they heard him give a speech etc or in debates. I'm not convinced this is the case with Corbyn. He tends to confirm rather than defy his press image when speaking directly.AngryAsWell wrote:Nobody brain washed me.

Re: Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th February 2017
Tory government are bad news without relief. Tory's 'Brexit' threaten lives, livelihoods and peaceful citizenship. Tory government are failing most people and the UK. I'm unhappy with our Labour party MPs' current work on 'Brexit'. They're not providing coherent messages and aren't adequately opposing abject Tory government failure. My membership in the Labour party will continue because all is not lost. There's still a lot of good in Labour. I can disagree and be unhappy and continue working within Labour for the good of us all. Most of good politics isn't heroic. I've lionised great Labour achievements like council housing and the NHS. As if those were sprung fully formed out of Attlee and Bevan! They weren't. Lots of people created those and continue to create now (or not, it's a Tory government at the moment). Works in progress, all the best of social security provisions, made up of one day following another in solidarity with each other even if you don't like your colleagues much.

Re: Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th February 2017
Just vote Labour where it's realistically possible to return that Labour MP and we'll all work it out. It's sincerely the best advice I can give someone.
Of course, there's Scotland and the SNP. I love Scotland, I understand their relationship with Labour is fraught, perhaps more than in other countries or regions of the UK. Ask yourselves: What is best for the whole? It could well be SNP is better off representing us all. I can't ask someone to do what may be like the sacrifice of their community. I'm still working on this.

Corbyn would be wise to read this from you, Willow904. Corbyn doesn't seem pragmatic, he doesn't change when circumstances call for change, he's not practical. I don't understand his strategy. It's not a evil thing, political strategy. He knows that, right? I don't think he does.Willow904 wrote:It's a perfectly sound article, it's all very true.

I'm very suspicious of this approach where you work back from the presumption that London gets too much money and then say "we'll built X in the North to make it fairer". Different areas have different needs. You can look at eg Liverpool and argue that it's getting too much money for Merseyrail. Where's my upgrade and new trains in Swansea, Peterlee, Camborne etc?
It's an improvement to see specific projects being talked about, but do we want to be promising stuff when nobody's done detailed investment appraisal? We need to get more money into poorer areas, but capital investment might not always be the best way.

As for Trump today:
He's only dismantling bank regulation, while saying - on camera - "my friends who have nice businesses can't borrow".

Dodd-Frank, named after the Congressmen who campaigned for the legislation, was introduced to rein in banks' risky practices by banks and other financial companies. (BBC News website)
