  • Have a look behind the scenes of the Jeremy Corbyn Labour leadership campaign. From barely making it on to the ballot paper, to Corbyn becoming the party's new leader with the biggest percentage in history. That was the easy bit though, the hard part is still to come.

    Like Owen keeps saying, this was the easy bit. Now we have to win over those who aren't on the left already; we need to convince the country that Jeremy's Labour is the way to go.
    To do this, we absolutely must not use vile, sadistic language that our opponents surely will.
    We must, MUST, love those who disagree with us, and those who hate us. We cannot win this campaign without love and care for those who oppose us, or who are not yet sure whether this is the right thing to do.

      @JamesFLivingstone 9 лет назад +3

      +Simalacrum damn right, we must have compassion for everyone even those who show no compassion towards us. I stand by the philosophy that acts of good are motivated by hope and acts of evil are motivated by fear. We can not win the next election by campaigning for what the tories are not much less we must campaign for what we stand for on our own terms; free of slander vitriol and negative campaigning. Such is the only effective thing to do and the only good thing to do.

      +Simalacrum You have a long road ahead of you.
      - You have to convince the English of the merits of sharing sovereignty of the Falklands with Argentina, because Corbyn believes this to be a good idea for some reason (my guess is irrational self-hatred, oikophobia) even though the Falklanders themselves are dead against it.
      - You have to convince the armed forces in general that getting rid of the nuclear deterrent and passing tough cuts on the armed forces in an increasingly unpredictable and volatile world is a good idea.
      - You have to convince the Northern Irish (who are in favour of the Union) that they have to join the Republic of Ireland.
      - You have to convince everyone with an annual income of £50,000 or more (millions upon millions of previous Labour voters) that it's good for them to accept an instant 7% tax hike.
      - You have to convince the extremely sceptical British public that, in addition to giving up a lot of wealth to redistribution schemes, they need to welcome hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Eastern men each year because Corbyn does not believe in borders.

    I have faith that with another five years Jeremy can overcome the bullshit in the media and if he wishes to stand, I'll vote for him to be Prime Minister. However, it's really not necessarily him I want, just his policies. I'd happily take anyone similar to Jeremy. We have to build on Jeremy and continue to push similar politicians like him for the future. Jeremy is aging and if he decides to not stand in 2020 or even step down as leader before 2020 then I wouldn't blame him. I just hope we have a "Jeremy Corbyn" figure standing in 2020.
    Before Jeremy came along I was ready to leave the UK and I will leave if the Tories win in 2020 and I'll never come back, except to cast my vote for a better Britain, until we have a better Britain.

      +chebs8888 about 40 years ago now. Very weak pound, sky high inflation, nationalised industries increasingly inefficient and reliant on state aid...remember you can't choose what phone, gas or electric company you want, there was no choice. industrial unrest because workers wanted 30+% rises to match inflation which nobody could pay and indeed would lead to more inflation. currency controls where you could only physically take a small about of cash out of the country. Oh and the IMF had to bail the country out as we were bankrupt just like Greece. ..and this was under a Labour government!.

    As a young voter who felt disenfranchised after the general election, It is so exciting to have Corbs becoming more and more well received. I think I'm going to have a lot to thank him for a few years down the line.

    • @vulpesinculta3238
      @vulpesinculta3238 9 лет назад +1

      +sellingfullwheat Where will he get the money, and what will his policies do in the long run? My concern as someone who used to be on the extreme left is that the left tends to promise voters a lot that it really cannot deliver.
      Look at what Britain turned into in the 1960s and 1970s - a country so slow, broken by strikes, inflated and lethargic that investors would even prefer investment in France over investment in Britain. That's where the attitude that the state should care for a majority of people gets you. A nation of entitled people being conned by power-hungry politicians who burn their country's future to fan the flames of their own popularity.

    • @ERRATICCHEESE2
      @ERRATICCHEESE2 9 лет назад

      +WorkingClassConservative Aspirations are one thing, the mechanics of money are another. Money only has value because someone else doesn't have it. And the more money you earn, the more debt is created and the more debt is pushed onto others. Or to put it in starker terms, for every dollar out of debt you are, somewhere else in the system someone is pushed a dollar into debt. Even old skool scientists like Einstein and Thomas Edison understood this. Under capitalism, "monetary aspirations" have negative knock on effects. End result, a planet in which 80 percent of the people are poor and the majority own no land.

    • @j4ce69
      @j4ce69 9 лет назад +2

      ***** Your quoting from the Conservative propaganda video, Conveniently taken out of context. Corbyn understands the need to talk to all sides rather than bomb everything and everyone and not to worry about collateral damage to me that seems pretty reasonable and not a knee jerk reaction thats resulted in the loss of lives on all sides. 50k a year is more than most people make so yes 7% is fair. Average wages in Britain are 26k a year and there are people who are lower on 11k a year, its nothing to do with aspirations these essential jobs will need doing regardless of how many highly skilled people they may be surely they deserve a reasonable quality of life rather than struggle?

    • @1258-Eckhart
      @1258-Eckhart 9 лет назад +1

      +Owen Jones I asked myself what the differences are to Michael Foot (elected Party Leader 1980).
      1. Michael was a Professor of Literature strayed into politics. Jeremy is a socialist with a thorough trackrecord as a constituency MP.
      2. Michael fought the '83 election against a backwash of support for Thatcher's Falklands "victory". Nothing of the kind will happen to Cameron.
      3. In 1983, neoliberalism (monetarism) was still being given a chance (despite appalling Tory unemployment figures). Now, it has (with a still-unsolved banking crisis) historically lost the plot and functions in zombie-mode.
      4. Michael had to face down the SDP founded by the Gang of Four, all ex-Labour heavyweights. Unthinkable that a similar faction of ex-ministers will boost the ranks of the LibDems. If they get Blair, they'll sink forever. But Farron knows this.
      5. Believe me, nuclear disarmament was the voice of reason even in 1980. Now, we don't even have a "Soviet Threat", just pure rightwing paranoia.
      6. Michael was elected by the parliamentary party in a number of selection rounds. Jeremy was elected by a huge surge of basis-democracy.

    Wow, go Owen. This movement is so inspiring. It has really helped reinvigorate my enthusiasm for UK politics. I'm 34, have never voted before (my fault, I never saw any point) but i will do all I can to get behind a party that truly wants a fairer society. In future videos please advise what I can do (if anything) to help.

    • @lukemclellan2141
      @lukemclellan2141 9 лет назад

      +Funky Chicken Dipper The fairest society would abandon central government altogether and let us decide how to live our lives. It is then that people would learn the true value and necessity of cooperation. It is the current system (of centralised government) that allows for the "only me" attitude to prosper.
      I'm almost 34 myself and like you, I hadn't voted at all but went with Conservative this time based on the promise of an EU referendum (one step at a time towards autonomy). Had Labour been the party offering it instead, I likely would have gone with them.

      There are problems associated with any "system" depending on who you ask.
      I can look up and find problems with anarchy just as I can look up and find problems with state-sponsored socialism. The thing is, I can't converse with a webpage :)
      I am hoping to have my ideas/opinions challenged, as if I don't, how can I measure their worth?
      If you have the time, would you care to present one problem with anarchism so I can attempt a rebuttal? No problem if you don't of course.

    • @lukemclellan2141
      @lukemclellan2141 9 лет назад +1

      ***** Cool. I have no interest in the typical internet-style "discussions".
      Ok, first of all, without central government there would be no welfare state/NHS as we know it, arguably reducing the incentive for refugees/migrants to come in the first place.
      Second, without government the obligatory tax system would also disappear. An individual would then have most/all of the resources their labour produced to distribute as they see fit.
      I don't think that we need to assume that there are many people concerned with border control. These individuals can then choose to allocate resources voluntarily to a private organisation set up to provide the service. "Resources" can be some form of payment or an individual's time. Perhaps border control means so much to somebody that they would be happy to volunteer one day a week.

    Watching this brought back all of Saturday's tears. I'd been a branch secretary, branch chair, and constituency press officer, but after nearly a quarter of a century's membership, I left the party in the early naughties. I had become very disillusioned when my local Labour MP supported Tony Blair's gerrymandering of the Welsh leadership election after Ron Davies' resignation. Subsequent events made me wonder whether it had all been a waste of time.
    Over the last few years, I supported all sorts of campaigns, like 38 degrees, but largely wrote-off the Labour Party. I expected some sort of PASOKification, as occurred in Scotland. When Jeremy announced he was standing, there was a flicker of hope: I registered as a £3 supporter, gave some money to the campaign, and kept my fingers crossed. The result was fantastic, and I rejoined the party within an hour of its announcement. I am looking forward to the first branch meeting, intending to keep a lowish profile, but I am back!
    Thanks to Jeremy, you and all the team who made it possible!

    How can anyone be for affordable housing and higher wages and at the same time support mass immigration and open borders? High demand = low wages and high property prices and high rents. Yes, you could tax the crap out of the richest people, but do that and most of them will just transfer their wealth abroad or move to a cheaper country, as they always do. I've asked this question 10 times already, I still can't get an answer.

  • @KonijNx2
    @KonijNx2 9 лет назад

    Hello Owen. I agree with most of Corbyn's ideas, but there's two in particular I really dislike.
    1a. Corbyn wants to have a dialogue with Argentina where he's open to "joint administration" of the Falkland Islands.
    I'm not some exceptionally patriotic person, but looking at the history of the Islands, I do not for the life of me see why they have any right to them, the only possible reason they have is proximity. No Argentinians naturally lived there, nor did any natives, the first people to be recorded landing there were British. There was some handing around between Colonial powers, but if everyone there regards themselves as British, why even have such a dialogue, isn't this just a land grab under the guise of pretending this land was stolen from them? Not everywhere that the British colonised was stolen from other civilisations, just because it's near to them, doesn't actually mean they should own it.
    b. Northern Ireland, as far as I'm aware the majority of people in the North wish to remain a part of Britain. I don't understand why pushing them together, when the situation has been getting more peaceful over time is necessary? Self determination is about people deciding, *for themselves*.
    2. Women only rail carriages. I honestly find this to be a joke. Being sexually harrassed on public transportation is a serious issue, one that needs to be dealt with by better policing, awareness and less congested/better run trains (something I hope we achieve with renationalisation). Women only carriages is a solution you would find in the middle east, treating men as if they're uncontrollable sex pests, and separating the genders like they can't be trusted together. It seems to be a step back, to a potentially prudish and backward state of affairs.

    Scotland and Ireland
    I think my understanding is correct that JC wants a unified Ireland and was fairly important in bringing about peace there. Which is great. Amazing even. I feel like I need help from Owen to find out more on JC's views or even what he may suspect his views are on an independent Scotland. I don't get the impression JC cares much about it and sees it as something for the people of Scotland to decided, which is of course true but for me it leaves the annoying question.
    How can you support one countries cause and not the other?
    Scotland has a government now and government infrastructure. It's perfectly capable of managing its own affairs and It will in the future but it could happen a lot quicker if JC got up to speed on this constitutional issue and not just from Neil Findlay. Scot lab approach of party before people doesn't work anymore and if you've been to certain parts of Glasgow you may wonder if it ever did work really #TLDR

    I'd wait for him to be elected as PM before chanting 'Jez We Did'. Obama's 'yes we can' wasn't a slogan for his candidature as the Democratic nominee. Defeating Cooper, Burnham and Kendall can hardly be considered a shocking achievement.

    Which I welcome. We certainly need strong voices like OJ's in Parliament.
    Very inspiring to see JC as the new Labour leader.
    I certainly credit the Occupy Movement for the rise of JC.... We see the same thing happening in America w/ Bernie Sanders.
    Sadly, this left-wing uprising is lacking in places like Canada.

    Owen he needs someone (maybe you!) to advise him about the media and get a decent spin doctor.
    As much as I loathed Blair and New Labour, Alistair Campbell recognised the importance of getting the right-wing press on board.
    If he keeps doing interviews for Channel 4 News he'll be preaching to the converted like myself.
    He needs to go on a charm offensive to get the doubters on board else he'll end up like Milliband.
    He has inspired me (a working class woman) and thousands of others to rejoin Labour and a new generation who thought politics didn't represent them.
    If he doesn't get on top of these things he will be forced out by the unsympathetic sections of the party and the press.
    Hope will turn to despair. I hope things will improve for him as he hasn't had the best start and this is coming from someone who voted for him!

  • @musclerent
    @musclerent 9 лет назад

    None of these policies are new. They have been tried before and it led to extremely high inflation and having to be baled out by the IMF. For years we were seen as the poor men of Europe, as a boy I remember hotels Germany not wanting to accept English currency and that was the 1970's. As for British rail, the power and phone companies they were useless, no competition and forever being subsidised by the tax payer. We live in a wealthy nation with a minimum wage that's increasing to be one of the highest around don't flush that down the toilet and go back to failed 1960/1970 semi communist policies that made us a joke nation!.

    • @johnjohnson467
      @johnjohnson467 9 лет назад

      +musclerent the privatised rail companies get three times the subsidies that british rail got,semi communist policies,grow up I cant rememder semi communist policies,between 1960/1970,i grew up in this period a period of optimism,the beatles,a very colourful time,for innovative fashion,music and art,full employment,and working people having a bit of dignity,the start of gay liberation,women starting to get a few rights,and other liberatory things,get your facts right.jpj

    • @musclerent
      @musclerent 9 лет назад

      +John Johnson the subsidies are greater but not in real terms. The cost of the railways was more than the government could afford all those years ago hence the reason that much of it was closed down. I never said it wasn't colorful etc etc, but being restricted to the state owned gas, electricity, water and phone company was hardly a facet of a free market was it. Restricting the amount of cash anyone could take out of the country wasn't free market either. Wilson was suspected by the Americans at the time of being a Russian spy, one thing that cannot be denied is that he spent much of his early years in Russia. And as for your personal comment about growing up I'd simply say just look at the facts, it seems you have a very short memory

    • @johnjohnson467
      @johnjohnson467 9 лет назад

      the jibe that Wilson was a Russian spy is straight out of wacky rightwing conspiracy theories,in fact it was atlee who brought the energy companies together,particularly as the electricity companies had many different voltages and had to be standardised,as for water,it is still delivered by a monopoly,a private monopoly,how you can compare these social democratic reforms with the regimes in eastern Europe again smacks of rightwing paranoia,all I know ,as I stated before, the subsidies to the privatised railways are three times what they were under british rail,i also think that the beeching cuts were more to do with ideology,and the influence of road lobby,that cost,jpj

    • @musclerent

This will help give his policies economic credibility to counter the argument from the right that he poses a "serious risk to.. our economy's security"

    • @ichigo199

      and the blairites in his party will be waiting to knife him in the back.
      btw i take it your pro establishment as in libdems/new labour/torys/ukip supporter?
      the reason people like corbyn is cos hes the only leader other than caroline lucas who wants to protect the NHS, provide more jobs, build enough homes for every to stop spiraling rents and genuinely fighting for a fairer britian and better quality of life for all.
      im not bothered abut trident.
      as for EU membership, i think we should wait and see what camerons renegotiation is.
      i will probs vote to stay in the EU at the referendum but that may still change

    • @ichigo199
      @ichigo199 9 лет назад

      fair play, but i don't think he has taken a firm stance on the EU. my understanding from what he has said is that he will decide wether hes pro EU or against based on what happens between now and near to the referendum.
      i think thats a sensible approach
