    Never really been a fan, but as I witness the panic that he engenders in the right wing establishment I'm beginning to warm to him. The BBC, the press Andrew Neil and most of the rest of the media go crazy every day in looking for new ways to pull him down. Could it be that he threatens them more than he threatens the working class voter?

    The Press which tries to destroy the guy is owned by a cabal of billionaires.

    Whatever threatens their interests, they will lash out at. Which makes me all the more inclined to vote for him.

    This should be the most obvious thing in the whole election.

    Unfortunately, plenty of the population are happy to be spoonfed lies by the very people he threatens.

    The country had had too much of Thatcher and voted Labour, and I feel that we are now getting seriously fed up with the Tories again.
    Maybe a change is as good as a rest but to accept Corbyn and all his past life might be a step beyond what many people can accept. Labour have some good ideas but whether they'd come to fruition is anybody's guess.
    I don't know who I'm going to vote for but I'd give Labour a go if I knew that in 4/5 years down the line it had been worthwhile.

    If the tories win a majority in this one, surely it's the last we'll see of them for a while when the public have had 5 years to see the true Boris Johnson. Labour would probably elect a more centrist leader too which would swing votes.

    My mum... now, I love my mum. She's good to me, etc.

    But she was having an argument with her friend the other day about whether Prince Andrew voluntarily stepped away from public life, or whether pressure was applied to him from the Queen.

    My mum's argument for the latter was: look. It says here in The Sun that the Queen put pressure on him. Therefore, that's what happened.

    Similarly if The Sun says Corbyn is a swivel-eyed IRA-lover, that's what he is, and Labour won't get her vote.

    That, in microcosm, is why we are fvcked.

    The very fact that he scares them so much speaks volumes and should make him more attractive to labour voters. I don’t buy his tax plans, because I think that the rich will either leg it, or buy a bunch of bent accountants, but I like the manifesto and I don’t mind paying a bit more tax to pay for it.
    I find it a bit rich when he’s being caned for the amount he plans to give the Waspi women, when it’s only a fraction of what Osborne stole from them.
