Aimed at the Wrong People?

And Hitler has appeared yet again! Scraping the barrel for insults now

It's just a tad wrong to base a belief that socialists or left learners would refuse to pay more taxes, avoid living near or mixing with 'poor people' on a couple of personal experiences.
I wouldn't suggest all Conservative or right leaning people are selfish and lack compassion for those less fortunate than themselves.

Oh how true radicalnan
I have two long time friends who vote Libdem and couldn't bear to live near or socialise with poor people. Even worse, they were both in the 'caring profession' all their working lives.

If you say so, rar

QuizQueen and radicalnan well said.

Coco x 1 million, oh no go on I'll make it x 1.5 billion ( but there'll be plenty more where that came from)

Coco51 I raise my to you!

Please read that I meant he was getting a massive amount of free air-time to verbally oppose the Tories courtesy of all taxpayers, not just attendees. The BBC is leaning more and more to the left. They should be neutral.

You do know, don't you, that the BBC is not supposed to be the mouthpiece of the tory party? And that it isn't actually illegal to oppose the tories wherever you choose to do it?

Think about wall to wall Farage on the BBC in the past year or so and vilification of Corbyn since he became leader of the LP. It's not looked 'left wing' for a very long time.

Though, to be honest, the extreme wings of both parties have a tendency to blame the BBC for bias so 'heigh ho'...

That's to nanny

It's just that one of the few honest politicians has caught the imagination of the young(ish) people. And why not? The Tories have declared war on the young with extortionate tuition fees, no housing benefit, piddling minimum wage (the cost of living is no less for independent young people under 25). You underestimate Corbyn, Jalima 1108 and the young people who support him. There are no 'wrong people' if they are compassionate and care for people less well off than themselves by rejecting austerity, which is an entirely idealogical concept. How the festival is run, is up to the organisers and the price of the ticket would include clean-up costs. So you just sound like a 'Corbyn Bashing' old grump, pouring cold water on people having fun.

Bloody, sodding hell whitewave you got me there, banged to rights

What a load of moaning and ill informed nonsense. The clearing up costs are built into the price of the tickets, many people earn their ticket by working there during and after the festival. The tents are picked through and passed on to where they can be used ( one year the tents from the Isle of Wight festival went to Calais for the asylum seekers). The mess is no worse than that left at Ascot. Lighten up for heaven's sake, most ( but not all) of you sound as if you are writing an article for The Daily Mail. My son went to Glastonbury 3 years ago, it was his gift from us for his A level results and that is how most of his friends got their tickets. That one ticket cost about the same as 3 visits to a premier league football game so lets get some reality.

Yes ,thank you linjon,our options are the worst that I can ever remember .

nanny remember Chomsky

norose4 I agree but I do think that Glastonbury was representative of the feeling in this country ATM that there needs to be change and Corbyn is the only one recognising that, regardless of which party offers that change. I am not a Labour supporter but I am a grandmother and I want a decent future for my grandchildren. People need to come before profit as Grenfell Tower shows us.

Well thank you Nanny bit more info would be appreciated

Load of cobblers norose4

About that pro-tory but not anti-labour post...
.. not possible then?

Brilliantly Radicalnan?

I absolutely agree.linjon, but can you imagine the vitriol that would have enchewed if May (or any other party leader ( are there any??) had attended) as I have said on a different post) Corbyn has a similar attraction that Billy Graham had back in the day & sad to say Hitlet etc it always ends very badly ?

I live in Glastonbury and had to keep my windows closed in case I heard Corbyn....people pay to listen to the music and the hijacking of festivals by old blokes with messiah complexes is unfair, he is either out ambulance chasing or doing some crowd work. Is this the best we can offer by way of politicians, and I don't like any of them but at least May hasn't gate crashed anything I have paid to get into.

All these people who say they would happily pay more taxes, don't when it comes to it...my cousins who are very well off are Corbynistas and would run a mile if they saw a poor person and would get a petition up of some moved in down there street and definately call security if the nice businesses they own were faced with lower class customers.

It is for me the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs at work, people who have everything else need to get themselves so spiritual worthiness........they think some other, richer than them person if going to foot the bulk of the bill, and that they are better for reminding them to do so.

They stand there with there £80 wellies and sweat shop clothing and slave made phones and have a bit of a sing a long and look at Corbyns record of protest and think they are in at the awakening.......we all want a better world. We are the rich elite compared to most of the planet, we are the ones that would have to start finding the bulk of the money for fairness (if such a thing can be bought)....anyone who has lived in the UK, has had education, food, health care beyond the wildest dreams of most people......

They will be moaning about the lack of walls, borders and Trident if the sh*t ever hits the fan........

MaizieD Tue 27-Jun-17 11:11:17 The ones who are supportive of him were up front and waving banners, chanting... they were in their thousands and filled the cameras panning the scene. I did not see anyone protesting him!

Please read that I meant he was getting a massive amount of free air-time to verbally oppose the Tories courtesy of all taxpayers, not just attendees. The BBC is leaning more and more to the left. They should be neutral.

Personally I found it so refreshing, in these troubled times we live in, to see so many people united by music. Politics, sport, religion divide people. Music unites and I think that is a powerful force for good.

Jeremy Corbyn is on a roll. He will go anywhere there is an audience who might welcome him regardless of what he says or what that means.

As for those 'fans' all they want is a weekend where they can do as they pretty much like and have no thought fot the morrow. They think they have already paid for the clear up in the price of their tickets so why bother. It is all part of the mindless littering that we see far too much of elsewhere.
