Moving this video to radx's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

Fantastic and right - the Labour party abandoned the people; they were so out of touch that they couldn't even persuade some 16 million people to keep out the nasty party. That's why Jeremy Corbyn is doing so well.

For only 3 quid a Labour supporter can vote for Corbyn in the leadership contest. Take the Labour party back from the career politicians and weathercocks.

The next election is going to be interesting. I wish Labour had realised that fighting over the center was only a sound strategy when there was no risk of encirclement earlier, because now the left is split. How complacent to assume support from leftist Scotland when they've neglected their base for so long.

People talk of how Corbyn is at the wheel of a sinking ship, but it was not he who steered it into such treacherous waters. I heard a Labour supporter on the radio today saying that principles are nothing without power, as if to slight Corbyn. I understand that she probably meant that you need both, but I think the frustrations with a lot of politicians is that they seem all too willing to sacrifice principles for the sake of power. Learn the lessons of the Lib Dem fiasco well Labour, do not repeat their errors.

Damn right. The perverting of the benefit system in the UK into an inquisitorial instrument to demean and punish the poorest members of society, to the degree that it routinely denies their only meagre source of income for months at a time and on the slightest pretext, is a national disgrace. It speaks of a total, sadistic contempt on the part of our nation's elite for the vulnerable; in many case those who its own practices have impoverished.

This is the mentality of the bully. The barbarian lust to brutalise anyone who falls into your power, and all the while tell them that your abuse is better than they deserve.
