    Or this one. Will he actually propose taxes on automation to protect jobs? If so, the Luddites really are back.

      I'm all right, I started stocking up on toiler paper last week.

      It beats me why Corbyn has not been challenged more on his support for Chavez et all, given the disasters such leftist policies have inflicted on every country that has followed them. Not just economic failure but the loss of democracy. What would he do different to avoid the same consequences?

        Of course - the only way to keep the proletariat in their place is by overworking and under paying/feeding them.

        Automation of jobs allows people time to enjoy leisure time and even worse allows them the freedom to think - which does not really fit in with the socialist agenda - the only ones who should be thinking are the ruling elite - everyone else is simple there to support them.

          Can no-one remember the last Labour Government?

          1997-2010. A time of great prosperity.

            Jeremy Corbyn would ruin the economy. I cant believe anyone can think differently.
            Its just that to some people the financial health of the economy is not the priority or as important as other issues.
            They would look at personal short term benefits of a Corbyn Government.

              He's not even in power. He'll be lucky if there's an economy left after the Tories have finished.

                Compared to what followed it was utopian!

                I feel he's been misquoted somewhat. Surely every government and shadow government plans for all kinds of scenarios... a run on the pound, a global catastrophe, nuclear war, yada yada?

                Still, yes he'd cripple whatever was left after Brexit.

                  You'd hope that all governments have contingency plans, but the implication was they expect the pound to tank if they got into power, not there was a plan in place 'just in case'. Make no mistake, I do feel for a certain age group who are right up against it with respect to housing, but Corbyn is most certainly not the solution. It's not as if what he's suggesting hasn't been tried before.

                    That shouldn't take them too long.
