Corbyn played an absolute blinder and won big time. He promised to spend, spend and spend again telling people it's all going to come from the pockets of the top 5%.
He said he would get the rule of law back to the UK. While maintaining trading deals. Ensuring the rights of all EU migrants to stay in the UK regardless of whether they're doing a job a Brit can do, unemployed, on benefits, etc.
His bag of goodies was wonderful.
The spending plans were costed way under budget, housing and nationalisation costs were ignored. Saying housing would repay any loans was a con. Council housing loses money most of the time. Nationalised industries in the past lost more money rather than produced a profit. Education was another con, the UK needs more freeloading students in subjects outside the sciences like a hole in the head.
His plans to raise tax revenues relied 100% on the top 5% paying up in full and continue to stay in the UK and spend at the same rate. There was no contingency for the Ratings Agency to put up interest rates, no thought of companies leaving the UK.
As for the EU, he said he would deliver everything the people wanted. Without asking the EU negotiators if they would roll over and say yes. Should they have turned around and said Fuck off, he had nothing to offer.
Brilliant. Had he won it would have been a gigantic foot in the mouth moment. Because he could never have delivered.
May, on the other hand, told the truth about cuts. Either the whole of the UK pays more in tax or cuts will have to continue. Or there's a huge swing to reducing the need to subsidise so many relying on the taxpayers for money.
