Aimed at the Wrong People?

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

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.

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

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.

That's to nanny

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'...

Coco51 I raise my to you!

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)

QuizQueen and radicalnan well said.

If you say so, rar

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.

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.

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

I stand by the old expression 'never discuss politics or religion' ??????

Teddy that expression ( and a good one) ends with the words 'with friends'
And we are not friends on here, are we? So let's discuss!
Although it can be done with civility.

That sums it up very well RN.

NO!!!! Don't want to play!!!!

I live in a well heeled area but am surprised how many people are labour in the area including ourselves, Greenwich has a lot of Arty folk tv and film actors most of them vote labour. Simply I think because labour has all ways supported arts, film and television.

That's ok teddy. Out of date views like that go with head in sand attitudes.
Opt out if you choose.
Shades of 'I'm alright,Jack' ??

We don't all think JB is God's gift. The problem is "the left" think they have the right to shout their support but let anyone else give a different opinion and they get nasty. That is why most of us with a different opinion shut up. No democracy where the left is concerned. I wait for the flack from you lefties.

Simply I think because labour has all ways supported arts, film and television.



Words have just about failed me.

Maizie off topic but what is the symbol in your post? (I can't see it in the emoticons below)
