Why is it weak to not want to murder hundreds of millions of people?

It seems the actual residents of the Falklands disagree with you on this, I'm sure they're just loonie leftie terrorist sympathisers.

Bomb first, talk later has been such an effective strategy for the West. What we should do is continue with our current strategy because it's been really successful.

Given that high immigration is much less likely to lead to LITERAL DEATH than a woefully underfunded health service, I think the 'scaremongering' is completely warranted.

jamescfm wrote:QV73 wrote:takes Tory manifesto pledges like the triple lock and masquerades them as his own
You know what, you're right. Parties should only be allowed to support policies if they came up with them. Therefore, I expect that the Tory manifesto contains pledges to reverse the Equal Pay Act, the Freedom of Information Act and the Human Rights Act; criminalise homosexuality; bring back the death penalty; abolish the NHS and the National Minimum Wage and destroy Milton Keynes. Seems reasonable.

We haven't had rent controls for thirty years, how is it pertinent to say they've never worked? I have mixed feelings on rent controls since I get the argument that they can lead to a reduction in the supply of rented accommodation. However, Corbyn's pledge to build 500,000 council houses should help to deal with this problem significantly.

I threw these in together since they're pretty much all nonsense, baseless character attacks.
jamescfm wrote:This entire comment, for me, highlights perfectly how ignorant and nonsensical the general public's objection to Corbyn is. There was one actual policy critique: on rent controls, the rest was drivel. Even if I were to concede that price caps aren't an effective solution to higher prices, that wouldn't be an argument for supporting the Tories because their manifesto contains a price cap for energy prices anyway! The fact is that Corbyn might not be a great Prime Minister but he would certainly be better than May who:
-has U-turned on the EU, a general election, National Insurance increases, workers on boards, grammar schools and social care
-pushed the most invasive policies on civil liberties in the developed world
-won't prioritise addressing what has become a structural budget deficit
-will not seek to retain membership of the single market, crucial for many UK small businesses
