Most people know very little about Jeremy Corbyn, his considerable experience and his awards and his achievements. Again a deliberate attempt by the right wing media to keep him out of office.

strangely, according to some on here the BBC is biased to the left, you'd think theyd be shouting it from the rooftops, couldnt find it mentioned on their site either

Either way, a competent Opposition leader should be miles ahead- but he isn't (either miles ahead or competent).

He just finds difficulty in gaining momentum, you see.

That would be true if the Labour leader was a given a fair write up by the media. but that doesnt happen does it? as has been posted above, Corbyn winning a peace prize has not been deemed newsworthy, what a difference it would make if he was portrayed in that light as opposed to a terrorist sympathiser.

what opposition leader wouldnt struggle to gain popularity under these circumstances?

and people like Jeffrey again and again fail to see (by design i think) before the last election how far labour were behind, and how much ground they caught up, soon knocked the stuffing out of the tories without winning, and they are feeling it now with the DUP

you mean his political experience, he has none as a real worker or employer

[Anna B]

As far as the media are concerned, there are three forms of bias; twisting the facts, bare faced lying, and lying by omision. All are used full time against Jeremy Corbyn. It's to his credit he's as far ahead as he is.

really? hes been active in trade union work and councils since 1971

I stand by my first statement unless you can say where he has worked.

read his wiki

 

going on political experience hes got decades more than most of the usual upstarts who turn up from eton, and spend 10 years or so at the top.

Hes spent nigh on 50, and always been of a similar slant, never changes.
