If Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn wins Britain’s general election on Thursday, he’s promising a remix of British society, with a strong emphasis on raising the lot of Britain’s disenfranchised and forcing tax-dodging corporations and wealthy individuals to pick up part of the tab.
Corbyn’s key theme is that decades of unbridled free market capitalism in Britain has created a capitalist elite at the expense of working people, who have seen public services slashed and aspirations dampened. […]
While Johnson has taken his party to the right, Corbyn has tacked to the left and endured the departure of some prominent Labour figures turned off by his approach to Brexit and the anti-Semitism that some feel has developed in the Labour Party. […]

Fine, let’s start with his assets.

Bet that this guy was sad the day the Soviet Union died.
I wish conservative public figures would respond properly to this communist crap.
It needs to be bluntly said very loudly and very frequently that redistribution is government theft at the point of a gun. Nothing less.
I don’t like the government stealing from me and there’s no reason a rich person should find it acceptable either.
If Corbyn wins and implements his plan there will be no toilet paper for the working people, only for leftist politicians.

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.

What happens when you take (not “tax”) money earned legitimately by industrious people? They stop being hard-working industrious people. Some of them go to another country.
If you give people money for doing nothing, you’ll have more people doing nothing.
Okey dokey. Let him get at the front of the line. Don’cha love how so many wealthy politicians always lead with this but never vote it in.
Making sure everyone has a proper (aka old fashioned) education might work out better than all that gimme money.
Britain has no republic. It’s a parliamentary disaster, like all other parliaments, closer to Soviet Communism than American Republicanism.
France tried this a few years back, as many predicted, the wealthy simply changed their legal residence to a lower tax country.
Who might they be?
