Corbyn now prime minister of Glastonbury, all luxury tents under state ownership, tax on wellies, foam fingers for the many, not the few.

No anti-democratic protests today- You can't be buggering about smashing the system when there's a a middle-class music festival to attend.

What a man :clap1:

Absolute hysteria. This man hasn't even proved himself yet. All he has done is call for the youth to support him and make a lot of promises.

I despair of how easy it is for people to idealise someone in these challenging times from wannabe idiots on reality shows to wannabe PMs with nothing more than a few promises. Low standards all round. :shrug:

This is massively aggressive politicking on Corbyn's and Labour's part. Using Trump too, wow, Corbyn's Labour have upped their game. The Tories need to take note!

We are becoming more and more like the US politically.

Yes I can completely agree with that. Whoever is advising him is definitely earning their wage.

[joeysteele]

Good on him.

For way too long the younger electorate and future electorate have been ignored by politicians.
This is a good move and more to the point,a very natural thing for him.
This is what he does to good effect and his sincerity as to it is recognised by such younger people.

It's not them being gullible at all, it is that he can and does engage with them
By talking 'to' them and not 'at' them.

[Brillopad]

Yes I can completely agree with that. Whoever is advising him is definitely earning their wage.

He is playing up to the youngsters because he knows how gullible they are. Pretty sickening really.

[Jian Yang]

Yes I can completely agree with that. Whoever is advising him is definitely earning their wage.

They know who to go after, and they're relentlessly doing so! Corbyn, who's fundamentals are actually quite worrying, is no longer being billed as a 'ageing politician', he is being written for and billed as a A-List Celebrity.

Very Obama -esque.

So this is about attention is it. He is using them and they are revelling in his unproven promises. :shrug:

anti-democratic protests

This is an oxymoron for the vacuous

[Alf]

This is an oxymoron for the vacuousNo it isn't. It's a few words from a joke, that you've cut off away from the joke, and given them a label.

[Beso]

The audience are all off their tits, probably think its the wickerman.

[Jack_]

No it isn't. It's a few words from a joke, that you've cut off away from the joke, and given them a label.

I smiled at the joke and don't have an issue with that, just wanted to reiterate this particular point because I'm pretty tired of seeing it (especially on Twitter)

Inside or outside of the joke, 'anti-democratic protests' is still an oxymoron. And the real irony is that those who perpetuate it are actually anti democracy

The audience are all off their tits, probably think its the wickerman.

:laugh:

[MTVN]

The 'Oh Jeremy Corbyn' chants are tragic

Fair play to him, his transformation has been remarkable in the last few months and Glastonbury has always been a political festival but it is interesting how the cult of personality around Corbyn becomes bigger and bigger. For many of Labour's new and young supporters he is as synonymous with Labour now as Ukip were with Farage

The tories treat everyone as if they're 5! Look at the patronising tone may had when she suggested to that nurse who hadn't had a wage rise in 8yrs there was no 'magic money tree'!! condescending, lying toad!

[Mystic Mock]

We'll see!

So it's not a fact about Brexit but it is about Corbyn? Interesting.:think:

That's because (again) you're making a presumption about why and who voted for Brexit.

[DemolitionRed]

It's a touch disturbing how gullible the youth is. :shrug:

Its not only the youth. Are you saying anyone who believes Corbyn politics is gullible?

[jaxie]

Potentially. I think anyone who buys into what a politician is telling them is being suckered really. They never keep their promises.

[Mystic Mock]

That's because (again) you're making a presumption about why and who voted for Brexit.

Statistics was put up on here from another website that it was mainly older people that voted for Brexit.

Btw I love how my opinion is presumption but younger people voted Corbyn is a fact.:joker:

That doesn't make sense since we are talking about Glastonbury and not the general election.

You didn't provide any statistics I saw. So I can't comment on the credibility of them. :shrug: But I do not believe all 17 million people were suckered by Boris and Nigel. I think quite a few people can think for themselves.

[DemolitionRed]

The Corbyn revolution! (http://leftunity.org/the-corbyn-revolutio/)

James Callaghan, the Labour prime minister defeated in 1979, said to his advisor just before polling day, ‘There’s a sea change in politics. Whatever we do, this election is all about Mrs Thatcher.’ Thatcher went on to achieve the largest swing since the war.

There is a sea change now. The 2017 British general election has been all about Mr Corbyn – who has just achieved the biggest increase in party vote-share since the war.
A sea change: not just another election, but a turning of the tide, a massive underlying shift in British politics, a rebirth of reformism, of social democracy, of Labour as the radical popular movement it was always intended to be. We are witness to the beginning of a once-in-a-generation transformation of the whole political landscape. and its so fcuking exciting :cheer2:

I wish people would be sure on their facts before accusing people of being xenophobic - it's ignorant.

You don't know people and have no right to make any such assumptions based on their concerns over large scale immigration. It's hardly as if immigration is working out well in most parts of Europe is it. But that of course is all down to the West.

He is getting his priorities right - getting those young voters hooked - when is there a better time than when they are 'spaced out'. Gullible and spaced out in an atmosphere of hysteria - it's in the bag. Never mind our brave soldiers. Shame on hIm. :nono:

There are so many AF events he could have attended out of respect for what they do for this country but he preferred to go vote hunting for 'the next election'. Transparent or what.

This govt shows its support by cutting the armed forces to the bone with even ex Soldiers unable to get other jobs and some even left homeless.

[Northern Monkey]

You can't really fault him for his campaigning.It's what he's good at.He picked the right place for an echo chamber for sure.His revolution rhetoric is exciting for many.He probably will inspire more to vote with stuff like this.
You've gotta admire his determination.
Politics is on the move to the left now after the Tories have been inflicting their policies on us for the last seven years.It's how it goes.Politics is a pendulum.I think Labour will get into power possibly at next election or if not definitely the one after and we may have them for a decade or so and then the country will swing right again,then left again.

[Kizzy]

What is evident for me anyway that the same backlash and desire for investment in the countries social and industrial need is being felt after 7yrs of tory austerity as it was after both world wars..... :/

I think the spin is very clever and whoever is advising him are doing a much better job than those advising May. However the thing I find disturbing is the fevered adoration in some quarters for team Corbyn, people don't seem to recognise spin for what it is. I'd like to see a strong potential labour government but it's not going to come via Corbyn hero worship.

You could say that for any party though with the spin.They're all at it.Mays "strong and stable" indoctrination tactics were'nt any better.It's what politicians do.

[DemolitionRed]

People had the same hero worship for Thatcher before she got in.

Yes of course they all spin. The worry is when people buy into the spin so much that there is an element of hero worship. This happened with Blair, at one point he could do no wrong, and look how that turned out.

People had the same hero worship for Thatcher before she got in.

I'm not old enough to recall that. The only time I've seen it before was Blair.

Moan about war then use cutting armed forces as a counter argument.:joker:

[Livia]

I have to say I am not one bit surprised to see all the Corbynites in here praising him for grabbing a blatant electioneering opportunity on Armed Forces Day. As a military widow, it makes me sick to my stomach.

[Brother Leon]

If Corbyn went to an AF event then the media would have just dubbed it a PR exercise and an attempt to out shadow May. They would have then microanalysed every little thing he did to try show how he isn't patriotic. No reason for him to cancel a commitment he had a long time ago for that.

Those echo warriors and environmentalists had a great time at Glasto.

It's shameful Livia. They will defend him no matter what he does. All they care about is getting him in - they care little about how he goes about it. He has no standards, no self respect and no respect for those that have earned it.

[Kizzy]

It's getting a little personal here.... Using AFD as a stick to beat him with is pretty distasteful imo.
Maybe hallmark could print some cards for those who only feel respect is to be shown one day a year?
