Just seen the latest proposal of that possible Labour leader he wants women only carriages n trains, some of his ideas are stupid hope he does not win, because things like renationalisation of rail etc costs money, to pay for most of his ideas in his world , it would increase the basic rate of Income Tax to 35%.
Watched the Panorama about Corbyn. Strange the way that the Labour establishment say he is not electable. Tristram Hunt said he would not get people to vote for him, but the Labour party needed to connect to its roots. Isn't that what Corbyn is doing?
Corbyn and Cooper were both at the Durham Gala, but only Corbyn was asked to speak.
Merkel and Hollande have joined together in another 'dictat' to the countries in the EU and they have just announced :-
That EU members must take their fair share of refugees. They said the EU will take 120.000 refugees over the next two years. Germany will take 31.000 and France will take 24.000.
This will be confirmed by Juncker later today.
Well if that is correct how do you square the 800.000 mooted for Germany to accept. I am completely puzzled by it all. Over 130.000 arrived in Germany over the laser weekend alone, if the figure I saw was correct.
I asked days ago if this could see the break up of the EU and I at least believe this will prove to be the EU's most difficult problem to date. I am not sure that the other 26 nations in the EU will do as instructed especially those in eastern Europe.
