Great stuff Debsisdead
Probably just the response Chris was hoping for.
I don’t see why Corbyn will resign if they don’t defy all expectations and win though . A good win in electorates with a supportive candidate would be considerable endorsement. I don’t think he will resign until he feels that his multitudinous supporters no longer want him. It’s the unexpected justification of his life’s hitherto forlorn protestations. He didn’t suddenly attract 400 000 new members because he suddenly grew charisma. No one can guess his personality comes into it including himself. It’s his believability and consistency that must be what is working and I’m sure he knows that no-one can tell how transferring his leadership could work .

That is all one can read out of the blinkered BS you comment.

It appears you would perhaps even tend to call those working on minimum wages “hopeless” and suckers, expecting the rich to pay taxes to subsidise their health care and education, as they cannot pay their own way.

Gosh, the “strong people” must then be the ones at the very top, dining at the Langham Hotel, pissing it up, as they “earned” the high income and wealth they have accumulated, usually at the expense of others denied a living wage.

You need to get back to basics, and appreciate every breath of air you still breathe, as your arrogance is breathtaking.

A more direct link to the particular program I recommend:

even Bolger has had to admit that your brand of capitalism has failed.

But many of the ersatz left have resigned anyhow leaving space for a good local candidate to replace the usual members of the Oxbridge Parachute Club – whatever happens after the election the balance of power will have changed.
Ask any voter up in Sunderland or wherever what pisses them off most about Labour and they will tell you they are tired of some posh sounding twat claiming to be one of them, but who cares more about the rights of lesbian puppeteers than they do about working people, getting foisted on them by the London based NEC as their next candidate
It is highly likely that Labour will do far better than the polls predicted, chiefly because Mr Corbyn didn’t attempt to win the unwinnable argument over Brexit. Sure that won’t help in the South but Labour has been screwed in the South of England for a very long time and trying & failing to block Brexit wouldn’t have changed that.
It will make a big difference in the Midlands & further North though where people loathe May and want to be able return to supporting Labour.

Indeed the bulk of the close to 400,000 citizens who re/joined The Labour Party in the past 20 months hail from the Midlands and the North.
They will be out in force over the next 6 weeks; May is praying that is too short a time for Mr Corbyn to build momentum (pun yeah) but as I said, the Labour left has been planning for this – including succession.
If Mr Corbyn loses he will probably pull the pin and dub his successor That will also be decided by popular election rather than a quick G&T down the Oxbridge Parachute Club and the hundreds of thousands of committed left voters will replace Mr Corbyn with someone who is likely to be younger but no less of an honest humanist.

The reason the brit media has been so venomous towards Trump has nothing to do with his policies which likely align with those held by Paul Dacre of the Mail, the brit media loathe him because he succeeded in by-passing the media gatekeepers.

Owning a newspaper has been a pretty marginal business over the last 50 years; a bad return on investment unless one was into power broking – manufacturing consent for something as mundane as a new road or a privatisation – that is where a media magnate can really turn a quid, but both Trump & Mr Corbyn have fatally damaged that model.
The fishwraps don’t want to believe it so they will pour bucketloads of shit like the column above on Mr Corbyn.
The thing is the net has made voters wise to that, so the more abuse they tip on Mr Corbyn, the more hopeless they claim it to be, the more votes they will generate for him.
Many fishwraps know this eg the Graun so they have been avoiding all mention of Mr Corbyn unless Peter Mandelson’s gang have set up a really top line lie.
They cannot do that in an election campaign sure the graun will try and do nothing but white ant every statement & the transparency of purpose will stick out like dog’s balls.
Even six weeks is gonna be too long for the news fakers.
As I said Mr Corbyn may not win but he will do a helluva a lot better than Milliband or any of the other neolibs.
