I also did not know anything about Jeremy
Corbyn, the newly elected Labor Leader in
the UK and had to do a bit or research.

We're told that Mr Corbyn has spent a total
of 32 years in politics. He faces a challenge
in having to unite the party. Not everyone
approves of what he has to offer - and his
election could present some serious problems
for the party.

He has struck a chord with some Labor supporters
by repudiating the pro-big business consensus of
former leader Tony Blair.

Instead Mr Corbyn offered wealth taxes and his policies
include spending more on public services - like schools
and hospitals, scrapping nuclear weapons, renationalising
industries like the railways and involving Islamist
groups like Hamas and Hexbollah in Middle-East peace talks.

Mr Corbyn has also asked that Mr Cameron show more
"compassion" in dealing with the Syrian refugee crisis.
Mr Corbyn is part of the wave of anti austerity measures
that are currently sweeping Europe.

Some Europeans see the election of Mr Corbyn as a
"Message of Hope."

Whether this proves to be accepted by his own party -
and within the UK - we shall have to wait and see.
It however clearly sends a message to Mr Cameron.
Which hopefully he will choose not to ignore.

Having peace talks with Hezbollah and Hamas

That's been tried many times before, what is Jeremy Corbyn
Got to bring to the table that will make a difference.

I hope he talks to them in the protected environment of
The United Nations or he might find himself in shock when
He winds up dead.

I saw him on the news half an hour ago.
He called for more wellfare for the citizens of Britain, and in the next
Breath, he wants to let millions of refugees in.
Won't that mean there will be less of the welfare cake to go around.

Socialism has failed miserably anywhere in the world where it
Exists. Not that I am saying that Capitalism doesn't have problems
But it works better in general than other systems.
This Jeremy Corbyn is the face of everything pulling Europe down.

CHERFUL like many others are bound up in tags like socialism or capitalism when in fact the elites are using fascism and socialism to enslave us under the illusion of having free elections and free markets. We have neither.

The all powerful central banking system controls just about everything so what's the difference between them or the old Soviet USSR ?

Stephen Lendman asks the pertinent question about Corbyn."Will he stand forthrightly and unequivocally against business as usual – or simply support cosmetic changes too insignificant to matter?"

This change of leadership has come from nowhere, so is Corbyn being to diffuse anger within Britain and lead the disaffected to a dead end ? Bernie Sanders is a similar leader in the USA but has little chance of leading the Democrats or so we think.

If only we had a "Jeremy Corbyn" waiting in the wings at the next election to take over from the ridiculous merry-go-round that we are on now.
There is I hope, every chance that Abbott will be replaced by a Labour government at the next election, assuming that he is still PM by then.
This will not be because Labour is the party of choice but it will be an election lost by default by the Liberals.
Then another round of playing politics and sounding like school children in parliament till the next election/auction.
In the meantime the country will be slipping still further into the abyss of inevitable destruction.
More of our resources will be bought by overseas interests.
More of our houses bought by the rich and overseas investors.
Unemployment will rise further while we wait for another mining boom to give us a the big increase in our standard of living we expect as our right..

I have bad news for you. Our standard of living is going to decline.
Why is this going to happen? Because of our leaders selling us out to the highest bidder.
They have been bought by the multi national corporations and will do what they are told to increase their profits.
The Liberals are the best at this and have to confidence of the big end of town to "do the right thing". Labour is in there with them but is held back by the millstone of the unions on their backs.
Looming over this scenario is the threat of multiple trade agreements that are kept secret from us and we are told that it "will be good for us".
Who is writing these trade agreements? The multinationals of course.
I cannot offer any hope to change this, there is no Jeremy Corbyn waiting to bring relief and a way forward for us.
We are going to be stuck with the same old "same old".
Think of Greece as it is now and this will give you some idea of what is in store.
Think of Iceland to see what could be done.
