    Clearly I am not very knowledgeable of politics.

    But this Corbyn fella. Is he for real?

    He's a walking, talking party political broadcast on behalf of the Conservative Party, bless him.

    Wants a wage cap, but has no idea how much it should be, how it would work or what its wider effects would be. In other words, he's pulled a lefty rabble-rousing policy out of his arse and is now touting it around the TV and radio studios.

    The best bit is that he's doing this just after he was in danger of saying something vaguely vote-winning regarding Brexit and immigration. Fella's a genius.

    Yes, very. He's a gooner y'know. Under his plan to introduce an upper earnings limit we'll be back to the days of Jeff Blockley, David Price and John Devine
    And I thought UKIP were the retrograde political party
    When I was young and full of rage
    I hated Tottenham to the core
    But now I've reached a gentler age
    I hate the fùckers even more.

    Yeah but I know my limits.

    I like to keep it vague.

    To be fair, that Trump fella had a fondness for pulling righty rabble-rousing policies out of his arse and it didn't work out too badly for him.

    Anyway, I think his comments on immigration were far funnier.

    I genuinely think he must be a Conservative sleeper agent. It is the blind support that really baffles me. They are going to get annihilated in the polls and they keep telling us this is what people actually want

    Yeah but Trump is a strong character.

    Corbyn is scruffy and a bit of a drip.

    I used to spend time arguing with Corbyn supporters about the fact that he's blatantly unelectable and have realised that it's a complete waste of time.
    They split into several groups:
    There's the deluded ones who think he's actually vastly popular, will win an election and that 'the establishment' are terrified of him and the media are conspiring to keep his popularity a secret.
    Then there are the ideological purists who know he won't win, but regard that as unimportant next to the reality of having 'a real socialist' back in charge of Labour.
    Then there are the well-meaning ones who say things like 'he's an honest politician' and 'he's not playing the Westminster game'. I think this lot are a sub-section of the ideological purists in that I don't think they think he can win an election either, but like the idea of having a 'nice chap' to vote for.

    Yes, but the difference is that Trump's bull**** policies were things that lots of people actually wanted. Corbyn thinks he can do populism without popular policies.
