"seems to be gaining a momentum, wherever crowds go, chants of jeremy corbyn are being chanted everywhere. personally i dont see a may gov lasting, shes out of her depth. is jeremy the messiah? " I've not heard any chants or seen any crowd's other than at organised Corbyn rallies. In essence Corbyn is only preaching to the already converted fan boys. Corbyn and Labour lost the general election, they got fewer overall votes than the Tories, they got a lower vote share than the Tories and they got fewer seats than the tories, Corbyn only gained 4 more seats than Gordon Brown got in 2010, it's not much to show for 7 years in opposition. | |||

"Was think of running for next election. Just have to double the workforce and £ on Police, NHS and free university costs to capture under 25's. Bound to win regardless of the debt the UK will be in. Just have to spin it and make lots of appearances" As long as you don't let the politicians and the top ten percent shake the money tree for themselves, then everyone will be able to have their fair share. There is plenty to go around .... just like those luxury flats in Kensington, why should one section of society benefit so much whilst others are suffering so badly? | |||

"One thing that you have got right there Centaur is that you realise we'd still be leaving the EU if Labour has won the election...but predictably you fail to realise this means I'm glad they didn't. Things are working out beautifully with Brexit. Unfortunately we have to go through with it in some shape or form. The Tories mortal wounding at the polls means they have no mandate for the course the headbangers were set to put us on, and serves to emphasise their uselessness every time they capitulate to EU instruction during every stage of negotiation to come. The Tories are a gift to Labour now. They will limp on for at very best a year, during which time they will be so useless even people like you will be screaming for someone else to take the reigns of the negotiations. Labour will win the next election allowing them to take over the process, and construct a deal that retains the best elements of membership giving us the softest Brexit imaginable, all under the guise of 'what else can we do? The Tories have fucked it beyond repair'. It's truly beautiful to behold. I admire Corbyn for many things, but never did I expect him to be a tactical genius. And yet every move he has made, especially his three line whip over Brexit, has been a master stroke. This is a wonderful time to be alive! | |||

"Corbyn is the only party leader who gives a shit about servicemen. He gets enormous respect from British forces around the world for actually caring about them as people, rather than paying lip service to them for the newspapers while regarding them as canon fodder. One of the many reasons why he's going to be our next prime minister - and he will be the first in decades genuinely worthy of respect in the role. Theresa May attended the official Armed Forces Day parade in Liverpool yesterday. Jeremy Corbyn spent the day at Glastonbury, enjoying his cult personality. And yes, I did say cult! Corbyn, unlike May, doesn't need to make empty gestures. The forces know he supports them, as they support him. It's not for nothing that May was booed at the Liverpool parade. I really hope you aren't suggesting that our armed forces deserve more than equal respect with the members of the public from every walk of life who attended Glastonbury. That would be very strange! I'll let people draw their own conclusions. Jeremy Corbyn actually turned down an invitation to attend an Armed Forces event in nearby Burnham On Sea." They already have. Literally no-one gives a fuck about that stuff anymore, you may as well start calling him Teflon Jezza! | |||

"you know when the right are worried when the express basically criticise him for keep young people engaged in politics and going to glastonbury, so they find the convient "he didn't support the troops on armed forces day" line instead... how long has armed forces day been going for anyway..... and that also doesn't tell the full story as he was suppose to do glastonbury last time, but had to pull out.... but hey.... he managed to do something that people for decades had been trying to do... get the young out to vote.... the key now is.... can he keep them interested, and get the people behind them to vote as well!!! then i would be inclinded to have the "lowering the voting age" conversation....." I think the voting age should be lowered but don't posit Jeremy as a reason - that's enough to ensure it will never happen. Reading the politics forum these last two days has really proved, to me, that a) people only believe their own news and b) it's fair game to criticize politicians for being populist and politicians if they're not yours. The hypocrisy is outstanding. | |||

"Armed Forces Day has been celebrated since 2009 (it was previously called veterans day), and is normally on the last Saturday in June (closest to the first date of the awarding of the first VC). Official celebrations are centred on one city; this year it was Liverpool, last year it was Nottingham, and allows the Armed Forces to put on displays and meet and greets etc. It allows the public to show their appreciation of our Armed Forces, and our Armed Forces veterans. Smaller events are undertaken in many other places. Its entirely up to individuals if they agree or not with the concept." We can all use Wikipedia mate. | |||

When your in a hole like Iraq caused you need the people behind you and you do that by association, you need to manipulate the narrative which is why we have the armed forces day, the daily mirror armed forces awards... You won't find anyone more patriotic or proud than me but I'm still willing to say what's wrong and what's right, however once you've bumped up the hubris whatever you say becomes treasonous and you can use simple words like dissenter, cowardice, pacifist to shut those voices down | |||

They have failed to do what they said they would go by every metric you can apply. They have proven themselves to be economically incompetent for the last seven years, and they have put the lives of people in this country at risk for profit. Grenfell, London Bridge, Finsbury Park mosque, the Manchester attack..all are as a result of Tory policy. Corbyn's shadow government propose the sound policies that would make our country safer and our economy stronger. There is literally only one test as to whether they will fulfill those promises, or not. | |||

"Corbyn's government have never been in power. Labour under Blair and Brown is closer to the Tories than a Corbyn government, so your point doesn't stand up. The vote share at the election was 42% Conservative, 40% Labour. All the polls show that were the election run today, Kabour would be the largest party, not the Conservatives. Corbyn also just beat Maybin the latest poll as to who the public would want as PM, so the idea that people 'generally support May' is fanciful at best. It's more the case they are stuck with her against everyone's wishes, even that of her own party, until the next election (within 12 months). By the way, there is no Tory who will currently challenge her for the role of PM, as none of them are quite stupid enough to want to shoulder the curse she has brought them. Strong and stable, don't forget! | |||

Everytime the conservatives start to sort out the economy that labour has left in tatters back it swings. Labour over spends borrowing more looks great to the people but then who is actually paying for it all ? All that glitters has to be paid for. The books have to balance. " The books will balance with everyone paying their fair dues. This nonsense about the non existent money tree is bandied about by those who are hiding it. They don't want to share it. There is enough money .... but those who had the eleven per cent pay raise and evade taxes want to take, take and take again | |||

"Well if you think corbyn is the new saviour god help us all .roll on armageddon " Of course he is, that's why his initials are JC! Don't forget though, there are many here who would rather worship at the alter of a fanatical death cult, and give blind devotion to a slowly withering sect who promise nothing more than the gradual destruction of British economy, society and values...otherwise known as the Conservative and Unionist Party! | |||

"Nurenberg rally Corbyn is a very dangerous man,Germany laughed while Hitler and is noisy followers took over the rest is history.I see 1984 for real here but not enough can see it. Maybe it is time to really start to speak out but I think I would be wasting my time sadly." The sleeping giant awakens | |||

"When Jezza gets round to being PM which will certainly happen after the next election I worry he will be a bit on the old side. He's no spring chicken. He's not, but he's the sort of guy who takes very good care of himself. He'll be knocking around for years and years. Skinner will have nothing on Jez! I'm more worried about outside interference, to be honest. He is the biggest threat to the establishment this country has seen in generations. I have to say, Corbyn doesn't look like he is 68. Especially when you consider Trump is only 3 years older and look at the state of him. -Matt" Blimey _dwalu2 !! I have read all your posts in this thread and you're good. I often have a read of the politics threads, but rarely post because Matt always sets the record straight. He has way too much fun in here. And you're both in Bristol. Hmm interesting... Maybe just a coincidence. Sounds like Bristol is the place to be for all political things that make sense. | |||

"seems to be gaining a momentum, wherever crowds go, chants of jeremy corbyn are being chanted everywhere. personally i dont see a may gov lasting, shes out of her depth. is jeremy the messiah? I've not heard any chants or seen any crowd's other than at organised Corbyn rallies. In essence Corbyn is only preaching to the already converted fan boys. Corbyn and Labour lost the general election, they got fewer overall votes than the Tories, they got a lower vote share than the Tories and they got fewer seats than the tories, Corbyn only gained 4 more seats than Gordon Brown got in 2010, it's not much to show for 7 years in opposition. I think the op may have been referring to Glastonbury this afternoon where the crowd were chanting his name. " Lol not me. I was leading the boos when he came on stage, the last think you want when you are enjoying yourself is being preached at! | |||

"is jeremy the messiah?" "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials..." I do find it a little ironic that there is a certain personality cult has formed around him. Because that doesn't seem to be what he's about. He seems very keen on taking the focus away from individuals and onto policies. If the whole momentum is going to work, then it's gonna have to bring about more of a bottom up, grassroots democracy that can endure regardless of who is in charge. | |||

" I've not heard any chants or seen any crowd's other than at organised Corbyn rallies. In essence Corbyn is only preaching to the already converted fan boys. Corbyn and Labour lost the general election, they got fewer overall votes than the Tories, they got a lower vote share than the Tories and they got fewer seats than the tories, Corbyn only gained 4 more seats than Gordon Brown got in 2010, it's not much to show for 7 years in opposition. Thank you for pointing this out. I'm not a Tory but this guy is acting like he Won the election. He didn't. He LOST. BADLY. Just think how unpopular Gordon Brown was. And this guy barely did better than him. .. "Get over it | |||

" Where will this knock out blow come from? The media will take the tories out .They're like sharks circling the tories at present .The tories are flapping around like a a dieing fish.There is much discontent in the population . I thought the left always say the tories have the media in their pockets?
Joking apart I think we are in need of reining in the media, they are not reporting news anymore but making comment on whats happening, that is not their role, I have given up watching any news outlets it has got so bad, I dont remember any of the right complaining about the endless attacks on corbyn that went on for months and was daily.Now the media have turned on the tories they need reigning in..Please...
"Im not talking about the mail sun ont the right or the mirror guardian on the left etc, dont think many take them seriously,its the tv/radio news that is the problem and was during the election also | |||

And this guy barely did better than him. He gained 29 seats against a projected 100 seat loss, turned a Tory majority into a hung parliament, caused the biggest swing to Labour since 1945 and recorded a vote share of 40.5% to the Tories' 42% off the back of a 24 point poll deficit caused by the largest orchestrated media campaign against a Labour leader in living memory. He has turned Labour majorities into super majorities across the country, won 'impossible' Tory seats and turned former Tory safe seats into paper thin marginals up and down the UK. Labour are now beating the Tories in the polls, and people would prefer him to be the PM instead of May. The only way you could describe that as a bad loss is if you didn't have a clue what you were taking about. The tories are on the ropes the knockout is only a matter of time.
Labour are in disarray again, the party was split yesterday on a vote on staying in the single market and the customs union, Corbyn sacked 3 of the Labour front bench for voting against his whip. It's clear now Corbyn wants out of the single market and the customs union. There is a thread about it here on the politics forum but the usually very vocal Labour supporters on here haven't posted on it and are being as quiet as a mouse on the topic. They seem to have lost their tongues. All is not well in the Labour party. "Haven't you learned anything, Centaur? It's only an issue if you read the front pages of the Express or the Daily Mail. This is great for Corbyn as it's allowed him to show the 'moderates' some advance muscle. At the polls it means nothing. Most people won't even bother commenting on it. Still, I know you need dreams to cling to, so go ahead! | |||

"is jeremy the messiah? "I am not Jesus, though I have the same initials..." I do find it a little ironic that there is a certain personality cult has formed around him. Because that doesn't seem to be what he's about. He seems very keen on taking the focus away from individuals and onto policies. If the whole momentum is going to work, then it's gonna have to bring about more of a bottom up, grassroots democracy that can endure regardless of who is in charge. The irony is Jeremy Corbyn attending Glastonbury, a place where the Metropolitan Elite pay big money to make rich people even richer!
Couldn't agree with this more! Gastonbury is expensive, we didn't notice too many poor people, we spent a fortune and lots of people did well out of the attendees. Quite the middle class festival.
How would you have spotted 'poor people' at the festival, out of interest? Does Michael Eavis still make them wear an armband?
Would 'poor people' be able to afford to go?
A lot of people work/volunteer there in return for their tickets, so yeah most likely.

"I've not been to Glastonbury but I have been to plenty of other festivals. I've not said at all anywhere that it's full of the metropolitan liberal elite. But neither is it full of people who can't afford the 200 odd quid to go. Maybe it is in your alternate reality. Btw I don't read the Daily Mail either. | |||

". But neither is it full of people who can't afford the 200 odd quid to go. " So you're saying people who can't afford to Glastonbury don't go to Glastonbury? Shocking 
In all seriousness, it has become more middle class over the years. That's capitalism for you.

The post is directed at the almost religious like cult, especially amongst the young, that is forming around him. Whilst you may actually agree with his policies you should still be concerned at this 'cult of the personality' that seems to forming around him. It's OK to love a leader who has no real power but a leader who holds real power, or aspires to do so, needs to be respected, not loved. Respect endures through disagreement whilst love rapidly turns to hate. Jeremy, having gained a certain amount of creditability and with it respect due to is unexpectedly 'good' performance in the General Election now has a choice before him. Being loved may make becoming a leader easier, being respected would make becoming a good leader possible. Remember how much everyone once loved Tony Blair and how all that ended. | |||

Or am I missing something?"Its a movement rather than a cult.Is Macron in france a cult leader. We live in age of the cult of celebrity where young people follow the likes of the Kardashians on social media.So it's refreshing that they get engaged with the ideas of an old guy from a different generation.Regarding chanting.It happens every saturday in every stadium across the land. Im a member of the cult of man utd and have chanted at the ground.Its tribal and human. | |||
