No, not free. Just bigger taxes for us to pay for it.

you can say about Corbyn whatever you want, but he's right

and yes to free education in britain, education should be equal for everyone (which is a reason why i also support Lizzie Warren in the current u.s presidential elections)

Your taxes have been subsidising corporations like Amazon and starbucks that don't pay any tax at all, so someone making them pay their fair share while your taxes invest in the future of the country through education should be a good thing shouldn't it?

Even Tony Blair and Alistair Campbell, who are both Marxists themselves know that Corbyn would be a disaster. Blair struggled to answer Andrew Neil's question yesterday, which would be worse, a Corbyn government or a no deal Brexit?

Neither of those are marxists. Blair was basically a centre/centre right pm, being interviewed by the editor of the spectator, and you think the fact they are against Corbyn is proof of something?

I really wish you'd read Marx (or watch a documentary) about his actual opinions, rather than the Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, pragerU misinformation and lies.

I trust Peter Hirchens opinion, and he knew them in the 70s, they told him personally that they're Marxists.

Is Hitchens still a trotskyite? No of course not, so why would you think that Blair still is a Marxist when he governed nothing like one? He has a track record we can judge him on, you don't need to rely on an opinion.

Well they wouldn't have been electable if they told us the truth about themselves. Smoke and mirrors.

Hitchens has far more respect for Corbyn, because at least he's honest about what he is.

Tony Blair was a neoliberal capitalist! "Marxist" indeed.

'Tony Blair is a Marxist!'

'Alf, there's ten years of Blair's regime that says otherwise. He was basically a Tory in red.'

'No! **** your facts! I'm going to listen to someone's bull**** because they tell me what I want to hear!'

What about the UK did Blair conserve if he was a Tory in Red.

He turned us from the stiff upper lip to a nation of depressed cry babies.

He sold us out to the EU.
