Re: Why the House of Lords May Save the Day
Holland is irrelevant anyway when it comes to Brexit. It's ports will be used less and less thanks to us importing from elsewhere and Chinese goods starting to use the EU to China Belt and Road.In the EU - "decline" is becoming the most popular word.

Corbyn is mainstream Labour. Prior to the right-wing shift in British politics from Thatcher onwards, and the whole sorry "New Labour" project, no-one in the LP would have blinked at Corbyn's politics. The fact that they do now is a barometer of just how far right politics in Britain has shifted.
Corbyn is Corbyn. He's not Leon Trotsky, for Chrissakes . . .

Bloody awful, the 1970s!
As a matter of interest, what planet do you live on, bread?
Going through life with your head stuck up your bum has its advantages, but you do miss an awful lot, sunshine.

A vote for labour is always a vote for austerity further down the line. Labour gets a gold plated economy every time they get in power and then bankrupt the country.
The 3 day week, no bin collections and everyone in strike. Those were the days eh
