Wise to the idea of the veil of ignorance.

Question Time is an absolute disgrace and has been for years.

Plenty more of that coming.

I blame "Jezza" for being a Brexiteer, as was his closest advisor, Seamus Milne.

Corbyn's a sleazy proceduralist, as was evidenced by the way he got Labour to vote on matters Brexit. And he's still at it now, twiddling the "rules" to organise who can and can't join his new gang.

The problem with the people in the middle is they think they have more in common with the people above them than the people "beneath" them.

Corbyn - right about everything that's wrong, and entirely wrong about how you put it right.

A lifetime in politics and all he's achieved is a profound affection for the sound of his own voice chanting the slogans he learned as a student.

And Brexit, of course, which he and Seamus enthused over.

Yep, because Corbyn was a Brexiteer, who imagined, alongside his chum and advisor Seamus (also famously anti-EU) that he'd inherit a blank slate he could scribble on.

His smarmy, slithering parliamentary proceduralism also helped the bonkers Brexiters of the right.

Irony corner - who's achieved more for the dispossesed in the last 15 years, Corbyn or Starmer?

Well, that would be Starmer, wouldn't it?

And it's not even close - what's Corbyn achieved?

Nothing at all, apart from steering us onto the rocks of Brexit with his smarmy parliamentary finagling.

Not so much the Brexit referendum - Corbyn's a Brexiteer - check out Labour's voting record on matters Brexit.

He is a massive loser tho.

A liability for the left.

"Those working with the figures".

Yeah, they're always right aren't they?

The undeserving poor, and the deserving rich.

And who spends lots of their spare cash advancing that toxic narrative?

Well, it ain't the poor.

All part of the plan for the uber-wealthy.

They're delighted with the progress.

How about just carving the pie in a more equitable manner?

As opposed to gifting nearly all the pie to the people who already own a pie the size of a mountail, and are somehow greedy for even more pie.

The root problem is not lack of growth.

The root problem is endless greed.
