Or clever marketing?

Maybe he wants as carriage to himself / team

I guess a career politician might

More worrying still is the defense from his cultist supporters.
He could declare his love for Jimmy Savile while holding an ISIS flag and he'd still be a hero to them. Concerning.

 

I really don't get the enthusiasm for Corbyn. He's like Michael Foot all over again, ineffectual.

 

I think he is more dangerous than Michael Foot. Foot was a principled, intelligent scruffy little man in a donkey jacket. But I don't think he would have played the bullying Corbyn game.

Well, I've just heard him on Sky news. He's implying that Branson has contradicted him with the video etc. because Corbyn opposes rail privatisation.

Regarding the facts, apparently he was looking for two seats together for him and his wife. There were random single seats available but he wanted two available together.

IMO this one is a cheap shot by Jeremy. Shows him incongruent once again. His false stance on Brexit was bad enough. I don't think he's as principled as he claims to be.

 

Corbyn (and his supporters) showing his true colours here. The closer a business gets to striking a good balance between providing a service or product that customers are happy with, a fair and decent working environment and pay for their employees, and a worthwhile amount of profits for its owners, the harder unreconstructed socialists like Corbyn will try to take them down. Why? Because it destroys the myth they're so desparate to get the world to swallow that any semblance of equality or fairness in society is only achievable by means of the wholesale adoption of a state-run economy. Corbyn would have been right at home in the old GDR.

 

I think he's a dick - Corbyn that is.
This is making him look very bad indeed, and I bet he wishes he'd not done it.

 

He's ridiculous, even if he does seem quite personable on occasion. And he will easily win re-election as Labour leader as he has two very large groups of supporters.

Firstly, there are both the ancient hard leftie idiots who have been around since he was a youth and don't want to give up power, and the young, innocent, ignorant twits who actually think he's a good chap.

Then, and more significantly, there are all the non-Labour supporters who joined the party specifically to get him into the job in order to make Labour un-electable. I believe there are some on here in fact (but not me).

Add them together, and he'll sail back into the job.

His "opposition", Mr Smith, promises another Brexit referendum if elected as his side didn't win the first one. He'll never get the chance to try for it though as he won't be elected. What a prat.

Meanwhile, what the country needs is a strong, potentially electable opposition to keep the government of the day in check, and at present, we simply don't have one. It's a very worrying time.

 

If this was the case as he stated, where was his wife when he was shown parked on the floor? She was apparently content to use an available seat so he could have taken another rather than sit on the floor. The video evidence condemns him as a liar who is prepared to do anything to establish himself as a man of the people.

 

I'm not saying anything different. Not they they were on their honeymoon who had to sit together, side by side; like a loved up pair.

False people like Corbyn aren't the men of the people. He's a pretend socialist.

I saw a rough Thai man in a Thailand train, sitting on the floor under the sign at a corner, saying 'no alcohol and smoking allowed on this train'; despite the empty seats available on the carriage. He was blatantly drinking alcohol and smoking a cigarette, right under that sign, without giving a damn to anything or anyone around him. He was more of a man of the people. That's because at least, he was what he was.

 

Now if Corbyn had been doing this I'd have been more impressed with him!

 

As I say, that man was more of a man of the people than Corbyn, so I can see why you, as one of the people, be more impressed with JC if he were doing that. I bet he does brake rules behind some closed doors, but not openly in public. As we know, he's dishonest. I sussed his colours very initially when he was flirting artificially on the camera with two-three middle-aged women who were the victims of that Cumbria floods. He was after being 'liked' by the common people, with his cheap and tacky shot. Fact is, he looked like such a dodgy salesman; prepared to sell his soul to the devil that I thought that some people do not grow up, even with the age and experience maturing them. I still gave him the benefit of doubt because I didn't know much about him. He was kind of new-ish for his leadership post, then. Now I see that my suspicions about this 'exceptionally high moral grounds' dodgy guy weren't totally baseless.

 

You're right, and although I couldn't care one way or the other the Labour Party are now stuck between the Devil and deep blue sea, with dodgy Corbyn on one hand and on the other the very loose cannon, Owen Smith. The Tories must be laughing their socks off.

 

I know.

I like the Labour principles in theory, but when I look around and see such discrepancies inside it, it really disheartens me.
