That being said, I am not convinced that renationalising the railways will be the panacea that it is often touted as. I think that we do suffer a bit of rose-tinted spectacles when we look back at BR, particularly in regard to ticket prices and reliability.

That being said...if Corbyn promised to bring back BR Blue/Grey and Slamdoor third rail units...I could be persuaded to change my mind.

I liked the old slam doors, one of the few sounds I like and miss. Ticket prices were so cheap I would go every where unlike now the robbing bastards, ok reliability was not perfect but hey its still not perfect and when you have to change from one company to another its a bloody nightmare!

Jeremy Corbyn dose have my support to re-nationalist the railways.

Jeremy Corbyn has urged his supporters to be "a bit cautious" after an opinion poll suggested he will romp to victory in Labour's leadership contest.

Mr Corbyn, a backbencher who was seen as a rank outsider at the start of the campaign, has been packing out meeting halls across the UK, with many of his supporters joining the Labour Party to vote for him.

And there is the problem...there should have been a one year membership period as a minimum for those who could vote, not a £3 voting ticket for those who have an agenda to cause a civil war within the party.

Dave and his gang must be thinking that all of their birthdays have come at once.

I noticed on the news Labour had around 200,000 members before the election and now has gone up some 160,000! Double edge sword on one side you have real labour supporters and on the other Tories UKIP Greens Liberals Anarchists Communists the far right all with their own agenda's to cause trouble.

The last days of the Labour party?

I defiantly agree and same goes to those affiliated to unions as well.

You're in a 'defiant' frame of mind then?

STEED · 08-14-15, 07:29 AM

New poll in The Times suggests Jeremy Corbyn has won, he's so far ahead the others have no chance. Watching SKY News paper review and the guests were saying we all know where Jeremy Corbyn stands and wants but the other three have no clear ideas no substance no political agenda apart from vote for me I'm the best better than the rest.

Do you think they may have a point?

Moonlight · 08-14-15, 07:42 AM

Meh! all of them spliced together couldn't make a half decent leader, the Labour party needs someone with some brains and charisma, sadly these 4 muppets are short of at least one of the requirements.

Edit, I listened to Yvette Cooper on C4 last night, it was as though she was reading from a script, no passion, no sincerity, no nothing, God help the Labour Party supporters because they'll need it if she wins.
