A lot of opinion that he thought he could achieve the same as the 1973 strikes and force a change in govt.
A lot of opinion that he thought he could achieve the same as the 1973 strikes and force a change in govt.Might be worth doing a bit of research on Scargill, and then decide who was most instrumental in the collapse of the mining industry.
was he there to save an ailing industry and thousands of jobs, or to try to bring a government down? Whichever way you see it, it will be an interesting exercise.
Going to be interesting to see actually how many voted and who they voted for.What changed for the young voters. Some clearly like Corbyn but I didn’t see droves at polling stations. Maybe they saw through the dreamland Corbyn was creating for them?.
Many voted for Johnson now you clueless twat
What would you do re-open the mines? The war was between an elected government and a Marxist movement led by KGB employed Marxists like Scargill who oddly retained a very affluent lifestyle
There are disturbing similarities to Corbyn and his abuse of Jewish protesters
This result is the best thing that could happen to labour.
A chance to purge themselves of the loony left extremists and re brand as the real labour party.
Probably all of themWhich policies do you think we're "Looney left"?
Yet examples of most of them can be found in one major western economy or another.Probably all of them
All the re nationalisation policies were complete looney left bollocks for a start.Which policies do you think we're "Looney left"?

How do you renationalise any business that is now owned in part or wholly by foreign investors/ share holders who don’t wish to sell? And where would the money come from to pay for such utter nonsense, especially when the rich and businesses have already been bled to death to prop up the nhs, and policing, and to pump more cash into education, and roads, and infrastructure and the free broadband and hs2 etc etc etc.

He might wish to scrap hs2, but unfortunately the contracts have already been signed, so it looks like we are saddled with another expensive white elephant like the millennium dome.In the spirit of ‘One Nation Toryism’ maybe Boris can announce the scrapping of the Londoncentric vanity project otherwise called HS2 and reallocate the funding for local infrastructure projects (but no bridges) across the whole UK.

Do you know what I’ve got from reading through this thread? How divisive politics has become in this country and how supporters from both sides have become so extreme.
Tory voters have gone from rich, silver spoon fed selfish oafs to thick, stupid, Brexit voting northerners!
And if you dare to support Labour you are a snowflake leftie who hates their country.
It’s wrong on so many levels and there seems to be no middle ground. I literally didn’t know where my vote was going until about 30 seconds before I put my cross in the box due to agreeing with policies from both sides (and yes it was either Labour or Tory for me) yet that vote seems to pigeon hole me in one extreme or the other.
It really is a toxic environment we live in, in the moment.
Where there’s blame!They've already cut through a cable and took out power in Balsall common! More of that to come!
The party of the people profiteering on misery Foodbank app run by newly elected Tory MP charges charities to use it

20 trees planted per minute 24/7 for the next 10 years or whatever policy was needs to be better thought through. Three headline policies that were quite evidently beyond reach.

Will the Tories purge the looney right's too though? Conservatives also showed the splits they have within their own ranks.This result is the best thing that could happen to labour.

Geoffrey Robinson's?And been diverted to fill up the ornamental lake of the posh estate downstream
That’s already begun, Tory loonies have already been shown the door, Kenneth clarke, Anna Soubry, Chaka Umunna, Luciano Berger, Oliver Letwin, Philip Hammond and David Gauke etc.Will the Tories purge the looney right's too though?

That's a bit dumb isn't it? I just don't get anyone who says they will never, ever vote for a party again. Ever?
This has got to be worth a look.
I agree that you can never say never in politics, after all many have voted Tory for the first time in their lives this week.That's a bit dumb isn't it? I just don't get anyone who says they will never, ever vote for a party again. Ever?
I don't think I could vote Tory, but things can change and parties evolve and move either left or right, or more to the centre etc.
Yeah, I get that.I agree that you can never say never in politics, after all many have voted Tory for the first time in their lives this week.
And I can say that I may well vote labour in the future, (I have in the past)
But I just couldn’t vote labour under Corbyn.
That's one of the key points of this election. Never make assumptions about voters.I agree that you can never say never in politics, after all many have voted Tory for the first time in their lives this week.

But I just couldn’t vote labour under Corbyn.
I don't get why people can't get this.
Something the protesters can't seem to comprehend....
Just about everyone knows Boris is a twat. Hardly anyone tries to defend Boris. So what else is there to be said about Boris?I think the point was why does this shit not stick to Johnson but it does to Corbyn?
With Corbyn it's "that's terrible!". With Johnson it's "well, that's Boris isn't it".
Nationalisation is not a Looney left policy.
I , and others, have explained the reasons why many times so I'm going to repeat it but if you can be arsed to trawl through the thread you'll see our reasoning.
Rich businesses have not been bled, that is absolute claptrap.
The broadband project was unachievable according to experts They've also said the Tory broadband project is unachievable in the given timescale and HS2 is going ahead whoever is in government.
