You mean there's still people that think this way? Other than Corbyn and his rabble, of course.

Speaking of which, I saw that Richard Burgon chap on Andrew Marr on Sunday. What a grade A muppet. I genuinely hope that the powers that be in Labour adopt the same views that he seems to hold. Replace Corbyn and run the same campaign again in 4 years time and all will be well.
