    when corbyn gets put into an awkward corner or gets a slightly strange question he responds like a human being, not a robot

      GingerJoberton Personally I found that some of his responses came off a bit career politiciany (if you get what I mean), probs not one of his better interviews. Still very excited for a Corbyn labour though :)

      +GingerJoberton He makes an effort at answering the question rather than straining himself to remember what the party memo said about it.

    Everything about this man exudes humility, decency, selflessness and humanity. He clearly puts people, his country, his party, the movement and his deeply felt longing for kinder world above any personal ambition. The complete polar opposite to any of the careerist narcissists that make up the other three leadership candidates, and the entire British political class for that matter. He is truly a diamond in the rough.

    • @smcg8504

      Hope he has some diamond hiding in that rough on his face to pay for his blind compassion. Id rather keep the fruits of my labour thank you.

      He may well be but I don't think locking him up is the answer. I'm more interested in restorative justice than retributive justice. That's why I don't like the International Criminal Court (ICC) and it's attempt to prosecute certain African leaders. Those leaders may have done wrong but I think there needs to be some other way of sorting things out. To be honest I think humankind needs to wipe the slate clean and have some kind of spiritual revolution.

    • @DouglasCarnall
      @DouglasCarnall 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      johnny b I agree with the tenor of your remarks. But remember, the point of prosecution is above all to ritualise society's disapproval of *the crime itself*. The fate of the person who committed it (their sentence) is a separate matter. The hard won principles of Nuremburg should be re-engraved by the legal system, so as to give pause to politicians who think it's OK to defy future decisions of the United Nations. So yes, Tony Blair should stand trial. If he is found guilty, I don't think anything is served by his imprisonment--he's unlikely to reoffend.

      ***** The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, which followed World War II, called the waging of aggressive war "essentially an evil thing...to initiate a war of aggression...is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

      @serboniferhasty-618 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Rob Spratt Hate to brag, but some of us saw through TB almost right from the off, were not taken in by his New Labour antics and never voted for him. And it wasn't too difficult if you looked a bit harder. Have to confess I didn't see anything like the Iraq fiasco in him though. In retrospect, it was the logical conclusion to the analysis of him as a wannabe, but who could possibly have thought that his hunger for power would have led to him jumping off that deep end?

    'Parliament rotating' is such an inspirational pertinent realist suggestion that could engage the British electorate up and down HM's realm by having a sitting British parliament operating in varied 'parliamentary houses' in several of the great conurbations within the UK. This is not new. It's been done before here in the UK and abroad. Let's do it so that London is diminished of its peculiar one-capital power-house dominance!

    When I was involved in politics (in an advisory capacity) to a regional level politician over 10 years ago , it was seen more as a vocational occupation and less of a career choice. I got involved purely with a passion to bring about change and I've got to tell you that even I feel rather despondent with our present systems of government. It was less about public perception imagery and more about political policy content back then. I coined the phrase "Capitalism with a conscience" (I've heard it used !) and often wish this mantra had been adopted by large corporations. I hope and pray for change.

    Francesca Walker, a mother-of-eight who also lived in Kensington and Chelsea, defended her £90,000-a-year housing benefit claims for a £2 million villa in Notting Hill.

    • @katebones7176
      @katebones7176 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Juan Cano there was a time when no one wanted to live in Notting Hill hence why they have large numbers of social housing. It was considered a ghetto and therefore It was cheap. Now its cool and people are willing to pay exorbitant rents to live near so called celebrities. This increased cost has nothing to do with the tenant or social housing landlord. It has everything to do with the restrictions placed on councils to build and the right to buy. The same situation can be seen in east london albeit much more accelerated. More social housing and a rent cap will reduce costs.

      smcg I own my own house. But the prices in London are too crazy now. House buying is over. Also developers cream off a huge amount. Shared ownership is the worse of both worlds. I know people around 30 on 50k and struggling.
      Also, the Housing bubble always bursts and kills the British economy somewhere down the line. So a mixed economy is a realistic opportunity for young people to get on.

    I like the caring/sharing values of the left, but I worry that they can sometimes be dogmatic and intolerant of dissent. The record on individual freedom, free speech and freedom of expression in countries that have called themselves "socialist" is not great (though I admit that many non-socialist countries have also fallen short on this).

      Ed O'Meara Nothing in his particular speech (or even about him particularly). It's just that I'm a bit wary of what might be called the hard left (or true socialists) with regard to that issue. Don't get me wrong. I like the ideal of a just and caring society. I value both freedom AND socio-economic equality, but sometimes I'm not sure if it's possible to have both.

    • @johnnyb8825
      @johnnyb8825 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ryan Fox Yes, it can be argued that Stalinist Russia, Maoist China and present-day North Korea were/are not truly socialist. After all, even Hitler called himself a socialist (albeit a national socialist). Some "socialist" countries seemed more relaxed than others (i.e. Cuba and Tito's Yugoslavia). I just worry that in order to have the kind of equality demanded by socialism, society would have to be very controlled.

    The Tories shouldn't be happy at the prospect of Corbyn getting elected. In fact they should be deeply worried, as a party led by Corbyn would be a true opposition to the austerity politics of the Conservatives. Challenging their policies on benefits, higher education, trident, public sector pay and much more. The Tories will find it a lot harder governing with a real opposition from the left!

      They are unhappy and worried hence all the things they say regarding JC.

He is in fact the one they are most worried about.

      Labour is and always has been a party for the working class. Currently we don't have a working class as we did before in this country due to de-industrialisation. Thus the only people labour are currently supporting are people on benefits. Yes there is still a working class but Labour does not support them (as we saw from there last time in power) and the conservative seem to be giving them more by raising the amount that people can earn before paying tax. The conservatives are also trying to help and incentivise people on benefits to get working again something that Labour did not do, in contrast Labour tried to keep the people on benefits where they were, as they made it better to be on benefits then in a full time job. They need to reform and bring in a new Labour, anyone who was part of the Blair regime has got to go!

    • @sinimini
      @sinimini 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      James Brady I agree with you. Many English people get the feeling that Labour don't actually care about this country, that they actually hate it and everything that made it great. Their social experiments have left us more divided than ever (which was their aim) but they have failed to pick up the pieces, the people copped onto them. Its over for Labour, they just don't know it yet. It is mainly whingers, bitter idealists and communists who are excited about Corbyn. Now is the time for the Tories to crush Labour forever. They can do it with boundary changes and the introduction of proportional representation which would ensure Labour are neutered forever.

      James Brady Except the Tories' latest budget has made 13 million of the poorest families even poorer. They remove the supports before they provide the incentives.

    If he wants to properly control immigration, meaning let in those that are looking for career opportunities (full time or not at all) that will also benefit the UK which should be found before they enter the UK and at least hold Level 1 (adult equivalent) in literacy and numeracy (writing and in speaking), not be entitled for 'any' benefits in the UK for at least 5 years and will not be permitted to bring family members into the UK for the same number of years just because they're working/studying full time, if so they must go by the same rules - the same should apply to immigrants already here, if not, then they're no good to this country. If Jeremy Corbyn can do that as well as get the UK out of the ghastly EU, then he would get a lot of praise and support from a lot more people.

    Okay hes a bk-bencher but the thing I dont get about this is how come the news never mentioned anything about him upto over a yr ago, suddenely now he comes out the woodwork to win the leadership. I hate UK mainstream news! They're so manipulative and just completely one sided.
    E.g. Why was it when allegations came out about Mo Farah's coach Salvadore, the new kept banging on about him!? And Mo himself had not even been accused of anything, he had released his records and he was 100% clean, but all the news reporters just kept unfairly swooping on him! Thats BBC, C4 and Sky, they all just kept making the news about Mo Farah, trying to manipulate the public opinion to get people in the country to all start to think he was hiding something and was a drugs cheat.
    British news is very manipulative, THEY choose what us the most popular news story and they focus on that, and the problem is people hear about it enough times they start to believe it. Its like if you hear a catchy song at work enough times, it gets engrained in your head, regardless of if you like it or not. Thats how mainstream news and media work on a psychological level with the mass public.

WE WILL survive without you, as we the working class placed you in your position of high privilege.... Its about time people had a wake up call about the realities of the world power................................................. Excellent discussion . We dont want inequality any more, we want honesty and fairness to all and every one, we dont want austerity to be placed at one door step, all must be in it together................. This boom and bust is a symptom of the ailments of capitalism, it is real scary when you think that a whole society are basing there lives on Catholicism, that the capitalist is like a God, to say who starves in the world and whom gets killed in a war........ 4.5 thousand people have killed them selves on the dole blood soaked mortuary slab........................ Yes and the rest of the people as well, as we dont have to exact figures............... Its about time we the people understood that the capitalist is not your god, actually they are the dealers in money and profit.... To which both are roots of evil, along with bigotry, Banks, captains of industry, racism, politics and dictatorships.... But to name a few...... Great chat to listen too Jerry....

  • @BMstarcast
    @BMstarcast 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is the first interview I have felt doubt. I feel Jeremy needs to do 2 thing to assure his victory.
    1. Make it clear that even the notion of the Tories voting for Corbyn was propaganda created by the tories terrified of what will happen if Jeremy wins Labour leader. He's already started a movement nothing is going to stop in the near future, and if he wins Labour leader there is no hiding his alternatives which couldn't be stopped going mainstream. This is a very real threat to the Thatcherite ideology they all hold so dear. I feel Jeremy needs to make that clear in an interview.
    2. The one thing I liked about Andy was his charisma, he says things like "when im prime minister" etc, and it's inspiring for the people supporting him. The humility and everything is great, all his fans know that's who he is, but when asked directly about being prime minster you need to express your desire to hold that position, if for no other reason than to make politics a democracy again, taking it back from the elites. I'm as big of a fan of Jeremy as anyone, but a huge reason for that wasn't anything to do with him, but the things that he stood for. We can't afford to not have someone like Jeremy in a significant political position until after 2020, we just can't. He needs to win this, and he needs to inspire the people supporting him by showing us he wants to lead.

    • @SheffBoxing

      It's not about Corbyn. It's the ideas. He knows that, and when he wins this labour election he has five years to make this labour party what we want it to be. I personally don't think he will be there for the next election, but things will have changed immeasurably for the better.
