However, rather than focus on policies all we heard was how Corbyn was the friend of terrorists, an anti-semite and not prepared to bomb people to oblivion. Des uses phrases like 'student politics' and balders used 'democratic deficit' (to back a direction that he said was not a good idea). Good examples of using nonsense from media moguls who were, in reality, protecting their own self-interest rather than worrying about the country. Even die-hard Labour supporters bought the nonsense in droves and voted in a corrupt liar.
Now we watch as Labour tailors its policies to change very little and, in this way, nothing will change. The rich get more and more and the majority get less and less with many middle class people believing that either they are/will be OK or, worse still, that there is still plenty of opportunity for them. There isn't, it's being slowly being stripped back. Even the other day, Meerkat was arguing we should give very rich people more - through tax breaks - or they would take their ball home. What a defeatist attitude and a complete lack of belief in the majority of the people of Britain.
Fear? You mean the fear that a simple old grandpa was being used as a set up for the dangerous ones like McDonnell. Bit like the GLC coup.
