Rhumsaa Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It appears to be running wild.... brother..... all over the UK Does anyone know his stance on places like the Isle of Man should he become the leader of the opposition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It would be very bad for us. But I wouldn't worry about it. Even if he does get elected as Leader, he has as much chance of becoming Prime Minister of the UK as does Donald Duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paswt Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Have to say that , unusually for a politician, what you see is what you get. He is an excellent MP in relation to helping his constituents ( MP for Islington , Holloway end). He was my MP when I lived in London and although I never met him I cannot say I heard anyone criticise him. That said his ideas are towards the 'left' and many of the young like his ideas and have joined the Labour Party as they despise Blair and those that , in their eyes , took the party over as "new labour".

rmanx Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I like where the guy is going, but I think he is too good to be true. And if he does well (i.e. becomes a voice of the people) the establishment will have him dealt with soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhumsaa Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Personally I have found him to be a breath of fresh air in UK politics and have enjoyed listening to his interviews and comments. He's someone I think who would win my vote rather than my apathy in the UK like so many other politicians. However, I do wonder if he will be negative towards the crown dependencies - I've not heard him say anything regarding that or his policies in that area yet. AT - what makes you think it would be bad news for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmanx Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I think he is more concerned with sorting out his own backyard before worrying about external factors like the IOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that side to it certainly - I found his policies to be more blunt in their approach to the higher earners though. Attacking the crown dependencies seems to be a good way of appearing tough on tax evasion whilst actually letting the donators etc in the UK off the hook. Corbyn seems to have bigger fish to fry than us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It's not just Corbyn, detestable as he is on his own. It's the creatures that will slime in on his coat tails. Judge Corbyn from the company the he keeps and the atrocities he refuses to condemn. Then add the promises that he is making that simply can not be kept without bringing further ruination on the UK. The creep makes even Galloway look acceptable (which he certainly is not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 He's just a left wing nutter. I hope he wins it for the comedy value. Zero chance of being elected to government. Less chance than Michael Foot had, if that's possible. People are not that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
