Corbyn wins again!

Yes, you were. You're about to apply to university so you can't be older than 17. You did not live through The Troubles - don't embarrass yourself by arguing otherwise.

As a mature student, not that I have to explain myself to you, smartarse.

im 16 :P and yourself?

I don't know where you've heard or what makes you think that Corbyns labour is at all homophobic? The labour left under Corbyn is the most anti-homophobic party in Britain, far more so than new labour, the lib dems or the greens or even the Tories who are also very anti-homophobic.

Q: What is your view of capitalism? Is it broadly good, or broadly bad?
Corbyn says he backs a mixed economy. But there is case for the public sector running services. We should produce what people need, not just produce for the sake of greed.
Q: Do you want to nationalise key industries as Labour did in the 1980s?
Corbyn says he is not proposing that.
Q: You have spoken about nationalising the NHS. So what about private firms doing things like medical tests more efficiently than the NHS.
Corbyn says services are best provided by the state.
Q: Always?
Corbyn says services are provided more effectively inhouse.
Q: Would you stop doctors in the NHS doing private work?
Corbyn says most GPs do not do private work. Most GPs are salaried. They prefer it that way.
Q: Do you agree with Tony Blair who has said today that the prosecutions of servicemen over alleged abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan are going too far?
Corbyn says he recognises that servicemen faced very difficult conditions.But we have signed up to international law, he says. He says it must be enforced.
Q: After the crash people decided Labour could not be trusted because it spent too much.
Corbyn says the crash was not caused by Labour overspending. It was caused by a deregulated banking system. Maybe regulation should be tougher.
Q: But people think Labour government’s spent too much. Aren’t you taking a risk reinforcing this view?
Corbyn says, look at the £9.5bn spend on housing benefit. That could be spent much more effectively, he says.

I'm sorry, did you just trawl through my shared account over a year? You sad excuse for an individual.

So were you lying now or then? I hope you're not a mature student pretending to be 16/17, that's kinda creepy.

Despite all the right wing media constantly banging on about what a Trot Corbyn is, when questioned properly, he is more moderately leftish than they say. Here is part of the transcript from his interview with the Guardian this morning.

Honestly the media screams about Trotskyists way too much, they're not the ones to worry about, being too self-obsessed; they're more likely to turn on their own than destroy the Labour Party for malicious reasons and personal gain. The real threat comes from the Gramscian legions of the dull.

Yup, the whole "Judean People's Front" trope is still a pretty accurate trope about Trots. These groups are tiny organisations. The idea that they can somehow command the six-figure numbers of Corbyn supporters is laughable.

Oh yeah, it's ridiculous. I was in TUSC for a while when I was living in London and they can only muster a few thousand across Britain, including the three largest British Trotskyist parties.

I was in AWL circles for quite a while in my misguided youth :P several of the AWLers that were mentioned or appeared on the Dispatches Momentum episode were people I've met - gives you an idea of how small the organisation is.

That was at least a year or two old, my brother is now 18, he used my account then so I could keep an eye on what he was doing because he's bipolar. He's not allowed to use the computer much now because once he had an episode and went onto Amazon and bought nearly a hundred CDs. I moved out this year anyway.

30" waist, been like that even after I started going gym.
18.
First-generation Irish.
I'm half mesomorph half endomorph.

You don't seriously expect people to believe that? In April this year you said you were 18. That same day you were posting in the MHoC, so either you lied about your age / living through the Troubles or you're account sharing, which would get you banned from the MHoC. Which is it?

Why do you care so much about the personal life of a random guy on the internet?

That was at least a year or two old, my brother is now 18, he used my account then so I could keep an eye on what he was doing because he's bipolar.

The Troubles initially grew out of the struggle over civil rights in Northern Ireland, and the institutional discrimination against and disenfranchisement of Northern Irish Catholics. Indeed, the NI civil rights movement didn't even initially demand power sharing, just an end to their hugely unfair treatment. When activists attempted to march peacefully for these demands, they were stoned and beaten by loyalist thugs.

Sure.
