Anna B Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's hippy musings not policy (to the best of my knowledge). He's allowed to dream - we all are. It's cheap muck raking by the mail. Trouble is it's relentless across much of the media. And uninformed people believe it as fact. Corbyn has said he doesn't believe in slagging other people off, so isn't going to fight fire with fire, or it seems, even dignify much of it with a response, therefore it goes unchallenged. Can anyone survive under such an onslaught? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Trouble is it's relentless across much of the media. And uninformed people believe it as fact.

Can anyone survive under such an onslaught? Of course. If he lowers himself to the level of the others then what's the point? I think the public will grow to like his different style. Not enough of them I admit but hopefully a change for the better in our politics will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Oh he comes across as nice bloke. A certain likeable style over substance. But his policies are quite mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Arthur Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's hippy musings not policy (to the best of my knowledge). He's allowed to dream - we all are. It's cheap muck raking by the mail. Totally agree with you there. We should all be able to say what we ant and to float ideas in the right way at the right time, and as you say he was just musing on something most people would agree with. Anna B said 'Corbyn to wants to disband Army' was 2" high banner headline on front page of Daily Mail one day last week. Just one example The Mail headline I found on that story isn't saying that he thinks the Army should be scrapped, so I'm just trying to find that particular lie that was apparently made about him.

I suppose they will claim the italians are lying about him next. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/22/corbyn-election-shows-labours-delight-in-losing-says-italian-pm Corbyn election shows Labour's delight in losing, says Italian PM Matteo Renzi blasts party’s new leader, saying people who want to get out of Nato don’t want to win elections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Arthur Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Trouble is it's relentless across much of the media. And uninformed people believe it as fact. You keep saying this but so far your one example of a "lie" is proving to be a bit elusive. Could you find one for us otherwise it's difficult to believe your claim that the media are lying about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
