And the economy would be booming.

I'll give Corbyn his due - He's got the art of opposition politics down to a tee.... Promise some beautiful fantasy utopia, funded by cash from that money tree that the Greens had access to during the election campaign, and, Bob's your Uncle, he is being hailed by some as some sort of second coming (he even has the fortune of sharing the same initials as the first coming!).

I just hope for his sake that too many people don't fall for his ramblings, as he (and the WHOLE country) will be well in the mire if he has to live out his dreams.

Just as an aside, all these young radicals pinning their hopes on JC can't have had much of an education, because surely they should have read 'Animal Farm' and got themselves some sort of idea what will happen in Corbyn's socialist utopia?

You should stand for Parliament yourself. With cliches like that you'll go down a bomb.

We already have a "magic money tree", it's called the Bank of England and it's been busy printing money almost since its inception and working overtime since 2008. The problem is, this extra money is being hoarded and offshored by the rich. The country would be better off if they'd simply dropped £50 notes from a helicopter

See that toad Alistair Campbell has added his tuppence worth regarding Corbyn.
The same toad who stated during the inventionary search for WMD, "Come on, you seriously don't think we will find anything?"

Good job, it will be in overdrive with Jeremy at the wheel, because he is seriously dreaming if he thinks the so called 'rich' will hang about to have their pockets pinched by the leftys....

There would be only three certainties with Corbyn's plans in place and that is out of control inflation, sky-high unemployment and general strikes to match what happened in the 70's.

I was thinking more of all those companies that trade and provide jobs in this country - Its a global market now, nothing like back in the 70's - Will those international companies hand over extra taxes without any consequences??

Of course not... there will be huge job losses, even companies upping sticks and finding more corporate friendly countries to carry out their business in.

Of course, Jeremy's massively inflated state will soak up the unemployed and with the Unions in his ear telling him what over-inflated rates of pay to give the lucky ones who get 'work', inflation will soon be on a not-so-steady rise.

Throw in the inevitable industrial action when Jeremy tries to tell the Unions that we are broke and, hey presto, you are right, we are back in the 70's, only not the 70's you remember concerning the filthy rich, but the 70's which was generally e for all concerned.

Well in my case it wasn't the rich that took action but I went abroad in 1977 having got tired of the pay freeze and rising mortgage interest rates. I managed to quadruple my income (tax free) and returned after the winter of discontent so its not a just theory as I met plenty of others who did the same. This was before we started a family so it was an easy decision.

What a mess Red Ed has left behind! The public must be sighing with relief that they got the general election right. The Labour is in shambles and are demonstrating that not only are they not fit for office but they now are not fit for HM opposition.

The rules of their leadership election were so full of holes that it has been exploited by fraudsters to such an extent that they are considering calling the whole thing off. Another fine mess Stanley....!

"they are considering calling the whole thing off"

They are?

Where's that guff come from then?

When's the next plane due on your Fantasy Island?

Your last sentence sums it all up.

So when you refered to "the rich" in the context of raising taxes to the higher earners you weren't talking of the usuall guff that puffs out from bankers and the like every time that a hike in income tax is mooted but have switched tack to Corporation Tax now ?

I haven't noticed the likes of Starbucks pulling up sticks in the UK after they were shamed publicly into "having another look" at their tax avoidance schemes in the UK last year, have you ?

As for the rest of your post - congratulations, you're starting to sound like Tony Blair.
