Haa ha!! True! .. However
He may be an amateur but he does has a mandate. Who wants another four years of the opposition tearing itself apart.
To honest, I'm not sure I relish the next election campaign with him at the helm.
But, I take my hat off to John McDonnell, scariest looking shadow chancellor for a while. He has the look of someone you'd want on your side be in a fist fight.

Or it could be that he is there as he is one of the local councillors pictured on the flyer

So who did you vote for?

How come he gets the blame and not the current PM?

Can't remember Tony Benn trying to lead a nationalist revolution. If you mean nationalisation, after the Bank of England, coal, rail and steel were nationalised in the late 1940s Britain entered one of the longest periods of economic growth on record with near full employment and hugely increased tax revenues as more people were earning and paying.

Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner, Jeremy Corbyn - all thoroughly good guys who were / are too honest to succeed as politicians. I'd vote for any one of them if I had the chance.

Didn't see Mr Remain on the ballot paper for the leader of the Labour Party. As John said, you don't think that maybe Mr Cameron betting on a referendum was what gave us the result then?

That is correct. Corbyn appeals only to a kook fringe base and in doing so has alienated much of the rest.
Don't feel too badly however: In the US the Democrat party has done exactly the same thing and they are their weakest since the 1920s. You might not see this because the Democrat party is an arm of the US media, but it is in fact the case.
Speaking of stuck in the past, these lunatics holding this block party tomorrow are fossils themselves. For the left to win, it has to create endless victims and then divide and conquer. So what better way than to make it look like the National Front is coming. The left also likes to speak for the victims it perceives, in this case, EU nationals. I am one and they don't speak for me--if I could have voted for Brexit I would have. I would like anyone who supported Remain to explain to me why it's so great to take the efforts of 800 years to beat down the power of the sovereign and House of Lords and then give that power over wholesale to the unelected European Commission.

Sadly far right groups are still very active in the UK. Here's just one of them

Remember the murder of Jo Cox MP? -

I'm not sure what your point is - however, as you don't appear to be either, that may not matter.
This election needs to be about policies, not people.
If you feel that we need a race back to the post-war years - foodbanks, grammar schools, mistrustful relationships with anyone not on the pinkcoloured map, / xenophobia combined with with a soupcon of Murdoch-owned lie pedlars, the boys and girls in Blue are there for you.
If you want to vote for a party which can include the NHS, the Union movement and an education sysytem which seeks success for everyone's kids as part of their past, then Labour have similar policies today.
My own hope is that a coalition of opposition groups will take the Tories on and put this country back on a track which benefits us all
It's that stark !

"In the US the Democrat party...are their weakest since the 1920s" like everything else this bears little relation to reality, how quickly you 'forget' that Clinton gained more votes than your man Trump.
