Hearing Jeremy Corbyn speak this morning was like listening into a broadcast from the past. This silly man is still intent on fighting a class war from the 1930s and doesn't seem to have any understanding that the world has actually moved on.
Corbyn's views and policy aims are not just socialist or 'left wing' they border on out-and-out Communism; Marx and Lenin would have been proud of him, but they've both been dead for a very long time. That Corbyn has been deserted by almost all of the senior figures in the Labour party does not worry him as he steams ahead. He merrily talks of vast increases in tax and vast new borrowings. He promises huge increases in public sector pay and general expenditure and threatens to clobber those that he considers to be 'the rich'. Perversely, he has defined 'the rich' as those earning £70 - £80,000 per annum or more, but seems to have forgotten that the basic pay of Members of Parliament puts them in this bracket, while the additional pay of cabinet ministers places them well above it. Are these really 'the rich' ?
Corbyn lives in a dream world in which government knows best about everything and can run everything. Businessmen and parents know nothing and must surrender their organisations and families to the care and direction of the state. Prime Minister Corbyn would do away with nuclear power and our nuclear deterrent; he would ban all manor of things that he considers 'bad' but that most people find essential and there would be 'Green' policies that would cripple the nation. Industrial (and public sector) productivity would collapse, inflation would soar and the national deficit would rise to monumental proportions. The UK would be back to the mid-1970s when the Labour government of the day was forced to go cap-in-hand to the IMF in order to avoid bankruptcy.
When Corbyn speaks of a 'fairer society' what he really means is robbing those who have anything to support the indigent; he means taking away all incentives from entrepreneurs and micro-managing the economy. Corbyn's approach to the world would destroy us so completely that we would never recover. Compared with any possible downside from 'Brexit', a Corbyn Premiership would be truly and frighteningly catastrophic.
No one in their right mind can possibly vote for Corbyn.
