At the end when Naomi Klein thanks J.C. for his leadership which she calls an inspiration also for citizens of other countres:
JC: I say thank you very much, but it's not you or I as individuals. When people's minds are opened up there is no end to the possibilities.
Xyz Same Though these are two of the most influential activists in the modern movement, it's never been about them. Social justice is in their blood
* And it's here again .. Im sure now i'm right about this man.
A politician giving a sense of hope. Why is that such a rare thing?
Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
because all your base now belong to satan
undercurrentspaulo the trouble is we know what corbyn brings within two years of this clown in power we would all end up like the people in Venezuela grubbing about in dustbins for food no thanks there is no hope what so ever with corbyn !
Hope??? Like the hope of 45 - 60 million being killed by Mao's Great famine which cretin Corbyn praises. What about the hope in the gulags of North Korea - who have watched or been forced to collaborate in the torture and murder of their own children - who are fed to gulag guard dogs. Yep, cretin Corbyn has praised this too! What a nice man.
If you support this cretin, hoping for a bit more dole or some other hand out, then you're cretin too! If you ever get it, I hope the blood of his victims doesn't show on your grasping, greedy and stupid hands.
Community, my arse!
I pray for the day Mr Corbyn and Mr Sanders are Prime Minister & President of the UK & United States of America.
Secular Scot
and Imran Khan PM of Pakistan
Arvind Kejriwal PM of India
the more I listen to him, the more I respect him. We need someone like him or Bernie as one of the leaders of the free world!
Yeah or Lenin or Mao LOL. Get a life and learn some history.
xyz zyx2 I don't understand your comparison of corbyn/bernie with Lenin/Mao. But since you want me to 'learn some history', you can recommend me some books and/or links. Or are you too dumb to do that? ;)
This clown is a far-left marxist. If you are too dumb to understand this that's not my problem. Maybe you should read some books about communism...
my friend, it is way too easy to go around throwing labels like marxists and leftists without understanding jack-shit about it (as evident from your comment 'read some books on communism' seriously? that's your argument?). it takes courage to speak the truth (like corbyn is doing here) and be on the right path when everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon (he said no to UK involvement in Iraq war). I dont care if he is a marxist/leftist/rightist or whatever-ist, I follow the leader who speaks the truth and believes in social justice. cheers.
xyz zyx2 he's a socialist not a communist learn the difference
Great interview, great ending.
I'm glad Mr Corbyn is humble enough to recognise these ideals transcend the individual & audacious enough to commit 'political heresy'.
Name one capitalist country that hasn't resulted in inequality, recessions & expanded the inequity of wealth & power.
Capitalism & democracy are incompatible.
collectivism enhances the human spirit
Harry Lakity Name one Socialist country that does not have serious civil/social problems? Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, France, Germany pretty much all of the EU? People have different ideas about what socialism and capitalism are and who these supposedly different ideologies are supposed to serve. It is possible that they are in fact variants of the same thing when it comes to all the British political parties because the one thing they all must have in order to survive if not exist is funding. They all rely on big donations from big donors e.g billionaires/millionaires, bankers, corporations and more insidiously/covertly foreign governments. It would be niave to believe this support is purely altruistic when these people/organisations and politicians flourish so well no matter which party is supposed to be ruling us.
If you want to know who is really ruling you, just find out who you are not allowed to criticise? Don't worry if you are unable to because it will be in your face in 20 years time if your still around. Moreover, don't worry about a Brexit; big business, banking and billionaires will prevent it. A case of do what we want or lose our support/funding. Why else was Cameron so desperate to the point of soiling his Y fronts to keep us in. There is for all to see more inequality in the Marxist Socialist regimes than in the less Socialist ones because they are not really Socialist by what ordinary people believe socialism to means. Change the way political parties are funded in Britian e.g. make them state funded. Pay politicians no more than the national average + 50% + accountable expenses, remove impunity from making mistakes, pay ministers no more than three times the national average and all politicians should not be allowed to make money in anyway from business activities in addition to their political activities. Implimenting these kind of measures could limit forms of corrupt influence on these people in power.
wow Naomi Klein and Jeremy Corbyn. Two of my heroes in the same interview
+music fan2
People do want different, Corbyn & Sanders' popularity proves that.
Only 4% of Americans voted Trump (who claimed to be anti-establishment, then filled his cabinet with Wall St & oil tycoons - filled the EPA with Oil tycoons & lobbyists who deny climate change & believe God will save us from air/water pollution).
Trump/GOP, the dangerous blood-thirsty science deniers that they are, are not only delivering people the status-quo, but are on political steroids in destroying any progress made to make this planet better for it's inhabitants (dismantling EPA regulations / pulling out of Paris Agreement / increasing the civilian deaths caused abroad / continuation of huge tax breaks for the wealthy while the middle class stagnates...).
They represent big business & if left unchecked, will continue to trash our environment & economy & lower-middle classes in the name of profit.
Harry Lakity, "Only 4% of Americans voted for Trump" and with this, you proved yourself an idiot. Even devout Clinton supporters aren't as deluded to claim this. Everyone saw the numbers, nearly half of America voted for him (46%). Whether you accept it not doesn't change facts. Labour got 30% of votes, hardly the highest its been, in 1997 they had around 200 more seats than they won this year. In reality, people are disillusioned by both Tory and Labour. Intelligent people do not believe the same old lies of Corybn and May but the drones will still vote for their parties regardless of how many times they fuck up the country because they and their family have "always voted for [insert Labour or Tory in here]" and thus the status quo continues.
Labour took over 40% of votes in the last election; they took 29%, and 30% and 35% in the 3 preceding elections, suggesting that the public lost faith in the New Labour position more and more over time. However the left wing shift appeared to energise voters.
as an Amercan who reads Klein and supports Corby.. what was the hype for BERNIE??? He never really addressed real issues.
Corbyn actually pin points the real issue as being Real estate and horrible economic culture. COrbyn understands the people... Bernie is just saying what people want to hear...similar to Obama.
For me, I think you already nailed it. Bernie says what people want to hear (that there's a better / fairer way to move forward).
Big money out of politics
It's no secret wealth not only influences elections, but also influences laws. Laws that consistently favour corporations & profit over people / the 1% over the 99%. This rising inequality & entrenchment of wealth in a small upper class has lead to a plutocracy which delivers poorer democracy & more corruption. #JusticeDemocrats
Single Payer
Watching big pharma / insurance companies screw over Americans is unsettling for me. Prices of prescription drugs citizens need are consistently increasing & show no sign of slowing. An American currently pays 5 times as much as someone in Denmark for the same drugs.
Sanders' Bill to buy US drugs from Canada (instead of the extortionate prices they're forced to pay locally) would have helped average Joe so much, but I don't think it passed.
Single payer is popular across the board. Healthcare of all things shouldn't be a privilege for the wealthy in a first world country.
Move left.
Personally, I'd take Hillary over Trump in a heartbeat.
But to me she represented the status-quo, business as usual & failed to inspire with any real vision (though admittedly, gradual change is better than no change). Dominating the centre ground has worked for the Dems in the past, but a [centrist party] + [far right party] - still puts the 'middle ground' in the right's playing field, leaving a large swathe of people feeling unrepresented. Bernie appealed to those people.
I know socialism still holds a certain stigma among the older generations & I believe in general people are willing to graft for an honest days wage, but come on... rising inequality, stagnating wages, socialised costs + privatised profits, bailing out the banks, lifetime of debt for an education +/or essential medicine could only really lead to this polarisation of politics, where people move to the fringes because of their dissatisfaction with mainstream parties who are clearly not working in the people's interest (& haven't been for some time).
The scary thing for me is Bernie being wrong & there is no better / fairer way of moving forward & this corrupted profit driven pseudo-democracy is as good as it gets. Because that's fertile ground for Trump & ilk.
4:56 ....well, Jeremy Corbyn was correct.
itsinmynamechap new Labour did that under Blair.
Not about this he wasn't .:Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
Corbyn is really a top man
Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
+gfy labour ate ruining this country and corbyn is a treasonous little prick
Crazy corbyn
RG whatup a top commie.
gfy Typical Marxist...get the poor to steal from the middle class to make you rich...
Wonderful stuff. Two people communicating from the heart is a powerful watch indeed.
Communicating from brains is preferable
I can't believe that a politician can talk so authentically. It rarely happens. I really respect Jeremy.
gespilk except the things he promises to do aren't impossible, it's a political choice. Why not try for a guy that will try to give us what we want than a woman that says no you can't we're doing things my way.
Also to keep this moon thing going. We've actually been to the moon which is a hell of a lot more complicated than scrapping tuition fees and increasing wages.
Taxing the richest etc etc
Who said Corbyn was Santa Claus? The ignoramuses who fall for what the media tell them about Corbyn and his policies are the real dullards. I disagree with or am agnostic about a few of his policies, but his economic strategy was developed in conjunction with some of the world's leading economists, current spending was covered by tax rises, and his foreign policy was far more sensible and clear-headed than that of the Conservatives - who are obsessed with taking us into foreign policy disasters, as in Iraq and Libya.
i imagine mister paul austin would think john maynard keynes is santa claus.
john is right is that the best you got you soulless inhumane degrading useless worthless trolling fool.......get a life.
Social justice isn't copyrighted, it is okay.
Damn, it is Jeremy Corbyn
Yes, Jeremy is a leader, a beacon, and an inspiration! May the world see a lot more politicians like him, a politician representing the many, and let's get rid of the politicians who are puppets for the greedy, rich and powerful!
My Hero, I love this man, go Jeremy ❤❤
* And this kind of thing .
mc 007 what is that supposed to mean?
@Stouffer thank you the more you attack him the bigger his following becomes 😂
Great interview by the brilliant Naomi Klein. Mr. Corbyn seems very down to earth. I'm inspired by his emphasis on community, and I thought it endearing that he too refers to Sen. Sanders as simply "Bernie".
He would be under it if i had my way.
Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
Community, yes community. Like the community of between 45 - 60 million who were killed by Mao's Great famine which cretin Corbyn praises. What about the gulag communities of North Korea - who have watched or been forced to collaborate in the torture and murder of their own children - who are fed to gulag guard dogs. Yep, cretin Corbyn has praised this too! What a nice man.
If you support this cretin, hoping for a bit more dole or some other hand out, then you're cretin too! If you ever get it, I hope the blood of his victims doesn't show on your grasping, greedy and stupid hands.
Community, my arse!
When people's minds are opened up, there is no end to the possibilities
Ye are many-they are few!
The future is bright
OHHHHHHH JEREMY CORBYNNNN
The fuck u say?! Lol
Can you please reserve your bedroom talk for off the public space
The interesting thing is that Labour has only 2 % less votes than the Tories. But they vote in districts for a Member of Parliament and the winner takes it all in their system - so that only 2 % less votes means 56 fewer seats.
P.S.: Just read an article of the Telegraph describing how catastrophic the snap election would end - lol
What a god damn Great Human being. God he inspires me so much!
Keep going Jeremy hopefully we'll change this stuffy old Labour party, the government and then the world :)
Uncle Sleven Amen to that. As an American who grew up in Europe and has spent loads of time in the U.K, I am thrilled about the incredible political energy/momentum Corbyn has elicited among the British electorate. Wish we had a JC over here...but that'll never, ever happen, sadly...
Mere Dumais Corbyn spoke here about the power of campaigning in the modern era. It's immense. Wherever you live, get involved - however you can. This is a legitimate movement and borders mean nothing
Mere Dumais you have Bernie. What he needs is a party behind him.
John W - Don't think they're not rigged in the U.K. too! I was pretty impressed with the way people managed to keep dreadful Hillary out. I promise you it can be done! Better times are coming soon, for we are many, and they are few.
Uncle Sleven
Brother. Let's do this thing! :)
"When people's mind are opened up there's no end of possibilities" - Corbyn
Have to correct Corbyn: Sadiq Khan is not the first Muslim Mayor of a major Western European city - that was Ahmed Aboutaleb, Mayor of Rotterdam since 2009!
Pat H
there were many Andalusian rulers also.
Aboutaleb became Mayor through an indirect vote, Sadiq Khan is the first Muslim Mayor of a major Western European city that was DIRECTLY elected by the people.
Thanks Intercept, thanks Naomi, and thanks Jeremy. Thanks anyone and everyone who watched this video and felt even the smallest bit of hope.
the key is the backing and coordination of org. like "momentum" in Corbyn's case which Bernie didn't have. Bernie needs his "momentum" in US.
amazing to see these two great minds in action!
Yes it is!
But where are they?
surely you don't mean these 2 deluded muppets rofl
lol xD
Jonas Lord you moron, she doesn't like Corbyn. She's a Zionist. Corbyn is anti Zionist. She knows if Corbyn gets in, Israel will no longer have British support. 4:08 her face when he mentions human rights and foreign policy says it all
Lord Of frog What are you talking about? She's been fighting for a boycott of Israel for a long time.
Jonas Lord corbyn a great mind !?? Are you joking corbyn is a Marxist dinosaur who would return us to the 70s !no thanks corbyn is one of the dumbest economically illiterate politician I know !
I hope, India gets some leadership like Mr. Jeremy Corbyn, very influential and social (instead of trash we have here!!!)
its a wolf in sheeps clothing this communism
m t Anyway that's not a really smart tactic to discredite Corbyn you know, given the fact that the most prosperous state of the indian federation is Kerala, a state administred by the communist party of India.
I hope all countries get someone like Corbyn.
Otherwise shit wits like m t will be bandit thugs when yet again capitalism run-a-muck creates a critical mass of inequality that goes off in a super nova of war and civil war and riots as the entire fuckery collapses under over-leveraged race to the bottom insanity.
Luther blissett, you don't want to stifle comments, let him make an ass of himself.
Socialism Wins Go to the East Europe and you gonna see what socialism do to people you fucking ignorant communist.
He is alot better than what we have in Canada too!
A genuinely caring and heartfelt man. I have nothing but respect for him. So proud to call myself a Labour member. Labour are back to where they should be. Corbyn and the members have transformed the party and Britain. This man will be Britain's next PM.
next pm god help us
Oh Captain! My Captain!!
Do you always talk to him while he's screwing you?
No but I will quote from "The Dead Poet's Society" when he is trying to save the country
* And here again.
Truth-teller! The US 2 party system is antiquated, people need more choices like in UK
".... people need more choices like in UK.", but it would be more democratic if we had proportional representation. I live in a shire county, my Constituency always returns a Tory candidate. I have voted since I was 21 years old, which was then the earliest age for voting in general elections. It would be very good if my vote made a difference.
What the UK and US needs is something that happened in France, a party that was only created less than a year ago that managed to more or less wipe out all the established parties in the country, that could achieve real change and Macron of France could be in a position to really transform France with him winning the election with a landslide, now only time will tell if he delivers but he's probably got the best chance out of all western countries to do some real changes for the people.
We have more than two parties now and don't require more needless competition. There were quite a few parties that led up to the Nazi Party and unemployment pushed them over the edge. Let's not forget what division equals.
Macron is a globalist though, I think Marine La Penn is very unpopular in France.
Two parties close in ideals can be bought. It’s simple, just back both sides.
Two parties with two different ideals, particularly when it comes to war, means democracy.
Both the US and the U.K. had two main parties backing the regime change slaughter in the Middle East early this century. What a bloody mess it is now. Iran is next.
Corbyn and Sanders provide choice. Their enemies would be the Conservatives and the MSM.
Together within their own countries they could lead in creating peace and stop wasting money smashing up other people’s countries for profit. Of course they will be trashed and character assassinated by the warmongers but they can handle that.
Corbyn and Sanders are the only leaders that would stop the floods of migrants and refugees heading in to the U.S and Europe because they would not destroy or steal their land.
Even the brainwashed Muslim bashing Right wingers can see the benefits of that if they are capable of putting two and two together.
I love Jeremy. He's the British Bernie as far as I'm concerned, however, I would make one suggestion (for the moment) : Lose the word "collective" in referring to the common good. It's one of those words that has become toxic and useful to the alt-right because of the association with communism. Too easy to be used against Progressives out of context. Bernie spent way too much time and energy battling the conservatives just on the term "Socialism." In the end he did win and now it has lost all the negative connotation except with the alt-right as a political weapon. "For the common good" is an easier sell.
Hope Emch Bollocks. Collective is an important word in socialist discourse. If those too thick to understand it want to misinterpret it, fine. But it's an essential part of the working for the common good.
Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep hath fallen on you
Ye are many, they are few
only thing I hate is Jeremy stole my line.....
I had it as the only thing on my various profiles for decades
JEREMY FOR PM
PM for a third world country and you can bugger off with him.
Jealous jealous
Judging by your name that's about right.
akbar rauf JEREMY FOR PRISON!!
Thank you Jeremy! Thank you Naomi... Thank you Glenn.. This is great! We aren't discouraged!
No you're mad instead.
Now i have had the privilege of seeing Klein and Corbyn sitting down to have a chat though i would have liked it to have been longer, I would love to see Corbyn and Bernie sitting down and chewing the fat.
Abbott is not there.
This guy will become the leader of UK. You just wait.
Well it's only 7 years .It will soon pass .Of course there is a strong possibility he will be very dead by then. but no matter we will just dig him up.
2021: President Sanders and Prime Minister Corbyn :)
Paterson lmfao you either live in your own little dream world or your just as crazy as corbyn and need locking away for your own safety and probably everyone's else's.
9:28 isn't this the coolest thing ever? 😍
No. Maybe for dumb teens...
South Africa, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Pakistan, nah guys, not the world I want, but feel free to move to any of those places if you like.
Don't forget the mayor of Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe. He is Muslim, immigrant and mayor for at least 5 years. Add the major of Arnhem. And add the chair of the Dutch parliament a Muslim woman.
Naomi Klein, new favorite.
Just Brilliant I changed my vote before this interview and now I definitely know I have done the right thing
I feel he is genuine and cares for the people and is like a breath of fresh air after the contamination of the Tories. He sells himself without attacking TM on a personal level as she does him. We deserve, need and want him as PM
Dopey lying old Militant ! The Labour party kept Corbyn on the back benches for nearly 30yrs because he is utterly useless and has shown nothing but contempt for the parliamentary system and his country. No wonder he was REJECTED and LOST the election.
Oh, Jeremy Corbyn, oh, Jeremy Corbyn.
Oh, Jeremy Corbyn, OH! Jeremy Corbyn!!!
Jeremy Corbyn is ABSOLUTLELY giving Americans hope and inspiration.
Oh, Jeremy Corbyn, GO, go, go, Jeremy Corbyn!!!
what a lot of crap
Great interview, this man has to be our next PM!
Only when we have exhausted all the other possibilities in the reptile house...:Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
A rare Gentleman . I feel glad that you are leading the labour party .
So happy there is somebody such as Jeremy Corbyn here in the political landscape of Europe.
I can only pray that his popularity among the people will inspire more politicians here on mainland Europe to follow his example in order to counteract the toxic right wing faux-populism that has been creeping up.
Bold - vision : I - like it : I'm a - green : stood for 'em - but voted #JC - coz : *_R > G_*
He was proved right about military action in the middle-east.
Bless Jezza and those of his ilk. An inspiration.
I have my gripes and problems with Mr Corbyn or Mr Cobwebs as I like to call him. But I am willing to do the British thing and put them aside and vote for him, the alternatives are fucking bleak, gray, ugly and I fear for the future of our country.
Rick E Good on you. I'm optimistic
Wonderful. Thank you for this!
Great interview
fuck...if there was a special guest appearance by Malala, Stephen Fry, Tim Berners Lee, Tony Ben and my mum, all my heros would be in one room
Kudos to these 2 sane, brilliant people! We should support them in any way we can.
GREAT INTERVIEW!👏
By the way Khan was not the first muslim mayor Achmed Aboutaleb of Rotterdam was before him. Keep i tough guys!
There are a lot of similarities between Bernie and Corbyn. SURELY if Corbyn becomes PM, Bernie HAS to give the White House another shot?! ..The idea of two progressive leaders working TOGETHER in two of the most powerful countries has incredible potential. TOGETHER they could create irreversible progression on tackling climate change, inequality and social justice.
Much respect for Corbyn
Thanks to both of you!
lick-lick . Try todays news :Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
Two of my favorite contemporary commentators.
A truly genuine woman interviewing a truly great politician of our age.
Well done you guys, you are both inspiring,
Cy
Looking at what is happening to my country, the workers has to wake up and move their votes towards somebody who will repeal all that has been created by these politicians there in Brasília.
I dislike labour as much as I dislike the Tories. But JC is a great inspiration !
Thanks Naomi. Excellent topic for an interview with Jeremy. Throughout human history it's sometimes been three steps forward and two steps back. Bernie, Jeremy and forward thinkers such as you, along with truth tellers in the media like the Intercept have helped us take our first step forward again. With this never before available global collective momentum we can be unstoppable. That's what we thought with Obama after 8 years of Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld induced terror, war and rampant capitalism, but Obama couldn’t or didn’t do what he promised. At the start he called out to his supporters to get behind him so he could push through the change we could believe in, but people fell away in complacency and so did the hope for change.
Once enveloped in the existing government machine, which mostly has an engrained Right leaning ideology, it’s essential that a new leader surround them self with the right people to do the good they promised. Before and during their early electoral victory speeches, great leaders always call to us, telling us that they can’t do it alone. We must collectively get behind them at that point of high achievement and realise it is not the successful end, but the beginning of the implementation of the promises and hopes of the campaign to bring about the society we want with the biosphere we need. The tricky bit of course is how do you avoid the post election collective complacency that allows the badness to slink back in while no one is looking?
“Rise like lions after slumber, in unvanquishable number! Shake your chains to earth like dew, which in sleep had fallen on you:
ye are many - they are few!”
So he's inciting socialist revolution through poetry? Slavoj Zizeck always said you will not get violence without poetry, I hope people wake up before we get to that stage.
Secondly, the shackles we have are akin to marriage, do you want to walk away from your marriage, to leave your children and spouse? You would be more free, so why not? It's not like you made vows, or brought life into the world, not like you have any responsibility for that? Freedom must be balanced by responsibility, without this we fall apart.
great leader
He couldn't lead a magnet to something metal
Shaolin Westerner he led 12 million people to a strong and stable opposition
And then lost again . You backing the wrong horse.
* note the terminology
Two intelligent people. Both have my utmost respect.
What still after this :Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
Knowing something about Political Philosophy and its great books, chapters and sections since 300 B.C is essential if you want to create a politically-conscious population which understands ideologies. The Republic by Plato (12 books, 20 chapters, 50 sections), Politics by Aristotle, the Communist Manifesto etc.
I hope that if elected, Jeremy will put in place a curriculum which will draw people's attention to this.
For the vast majority of human history the whole idea of absolutely anything of the societies we now have would have been considered absolute pure nonsense, pie-in-the-sky and not of "human nature" to be able to construct. Abject slavery for thousands of years was not only absolutely normal to our societies but was the major foundation of all developing economies - for all those millennia it was considered completely absurd to consider abolishing slavery, it was part of "human nature" and the only way to develop civilisation.
Here we are, nevertheless. We all have to make the society we want, to keep constructing new ways of doing things. We make our nature, it is not dictated. Improvement is always possible, the whole of history is testament to this fact, yet most of us seem to nurse some form of this phony belief that somehow we're now at the pinnacle of human evolution and must lie down and accept that we can never improve what it is we're doing and our systems of doing it.
Millions of people working in England have worked most of the lives on low pay or min wage. I'm saying they haven't been rewarded for all the effort in terms of wealth. The majority would stand as one on this . The rich have been paid too much eating from a pig trough of greed and excess. Currently we have no equality for material payment in wealth. Working hour's also need reducing .
There's a tear in my eye. OK, maybe not just one.
Don't worry he will never get in .He hasn't got what is needed (a functional brain).
Plus this now. Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
I love the story about the 91 year old. ❤
Good because here is another for you :Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
"When people's minds are opened up there's no end to the possibilities." THINK BIG, PEOPLE!! :)
What an uplifting discussion!
Glad you think so here is another :Tax dodging Labour councils 12 million they squirreled away abroad Thats a lot of £1. 's stolen from the NHS. You hypocritical filthy scum bags. So much for labour lies after lies then topped with yet more lies .
Two of the most inspiring peeople out there right now, keep going!!!!
The thing with smearing someone is that after a while you reach the point of negative return. Everyone that potentially will agree with the smear are already agreeing with you and loses interest, while the ones that disagree will get more and more energized to oppose you. The mainstream media doesn't seem to understand this, or maybe they don't care as long as the smears keep generating clicks.
Corbyn is one of the most honest and straight forward politicians of our time. I really like this guy (and Bernie Sanders) more than other politicians.
I sincerely hope for the Brits that Corbyn becomes their PM.
I can't stand Theresa May, she's such a hag!
Huge hopes on Corbyn's shoulders. I'm beginning to think that climate change action is the only thing that matters, though - at least, it has to inform every other issue.
I hope that we have a General Election ASAP and make Corbyn the PM!
i'm glad he finally acknowledges he got his campaigning ideas and style from Bernie
#feelthebern
Pretty ironic calling the MSM an echo chamber when he's being interviewed by a woman who agrees with him on everything.
Go read the sun then ya toff
I just learned something about Thatcher and her goal and why when people understood it she was booted. It was about the poll tax, or the local tax in Britain, the true "flat tax" ... that is where everyone in a neighborhood, precinct, city ... whatever the smallest division of taxpayers was had to pay a "FLAT" amount for the community. I think it was $250 pounds. That is a giant corporation, or a huge mansion, or the smallest apartment - all had to pay the same amount. NOT EVEN THE SAME RATE, the exact same amount. This is what the Libertarians in America want do to, and what Thatcher really was, an unapologetic agent for Libertarianism - the Reagan, attack government philosophy, always blame government for everything that was wrong, for every problem. Americans are somehow still stuck in this thinking, after Thatcher the British had enough and gave her the boot.
"How to Get the World We Want" sounds so sinister, I'm wary of anyone who would call them self a 'progressive'
Well worth reading The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein.
JC4PM Love you Jeremy
I love this woman ever since I read one of her books, and I don't even have her number
Ah when he said we're all individuals. "I'm not!" 😂
"It was a wet stormy night, but what a wonderful meeting we had..."
Oh Jeremy you dog!
Naomi Klein should run for PM. Im sure she would be a wise PM
thanks for inspiring us to keep on working
We want peace hope and equality, choices for health and education we want a fair go we want our Freedoms and privacy
I love Corbyn, but he's a bit naive if he thinks social media isn't censored or controlled (ask Mark SuckBerg or Larry Page (No, not the guy from Led Zeppelin -- that's Jimmy Page -- I'm talking about the guy from Google . . . I'm sorry Alphabet -- What's that even supposed to mean? Google is the foundation of language? -- This world is seriously fucked!)).
oh Jeremy corbyn
Is it the world people want when he ignores the majority in a democratic vote? Still has no idea how all these things will be paid for. If course we all want free stuff
Indeed, but why is he still knowingly offering bribes to the electorate that he knows will destroy the economy.
Spot the 42+ Tories? Edit; Oops, jumping up to 115 now! Does this mean May's popularity is growing?
No is not enough. Jeremy got that. x.
End Corporate democracy all over the world.
Yay. Jezza and Gnomie!!
*THE ABSOLUTE BOY*
Labour says they'll boost wages while conservatives say they'll raise the level of personal income before people start paying tax.
interestingly Labour's idea means people both on minimum wage and public servants get richer while the Tories helps everyone.
The Tories help everyone??? What on earth are you on about??
what about low-skilled workers who find themselves unemployable as the minimum wage is raised?
jjwebster1 tories help everyone you must be joking, the only people the tories are the rich who supports them, real term wages are down, suicides are up, they've doubled the debt and just barely cut the deficit by half, they sell weapons to Saudia arabia which is limked with every Islamic terror group in the world pretty much ,they give tax cuts for major companies whilst at the same time cut the benefits of disabled people who can't physically work. where i live in Manchester it's pretty much illegal to be tory because of all the damage they've caused
Kaiden Moir Wilko have just announced they are making redundancies, they say this is because of the increase in the minimum wage. Just think of the amount of people joining the dole que when Jeremy increases the minimum wage to £10.00 per hour. Happy days ahead?.
