'Old' Labour

Free education from cradle to grave, does this include the free musical instruments and free music lessons for every school child as promised at the last election ?

It’s ? time again

^Corbyn's done nothing for the Labour party. Unlike the ILP party which George Orwell was a member of in the late 1920's with everything nationalised and being a part of public ownership, above all a classless society.
A proper living wage and also decent unemployment pay^

What are you talking about? This is Labour now back to its roots.

Jeremy Corbyn Labour will nationalise everything and bring in a proper living wage along with properly funded NHS and Fantastic green polices. Have you seen the manifesto all the transformative polices? And Free education cradle to grave

Annie indeed, only 6% went to university in the mid 1980s.

Anybody care to enlighten me as to what the characteristics of 'Old Labour' were?

How many went to university in the 20’s ?

We cannot go back to the 1920’s

Though he himself was from a privileged background and because he detested the British Empire he decided to experience the life of the working class with a firm belief that only socialism was the fairest way to an equal society.

Sadly, Democratic Socialism will no longer be an option.
This Labour party is sympathetic towards socialism rather than being active.

Labour is back to its roots forvthevworking class for the many. Unlike New Labour.

Towards a national Education Service

To meet this responsibility, Labour will create a unified National Education Service (NES) for England to move towards cradle-to-grave learning that is free at the point of use. The NES will be built on the principle that ‘Every Child – and Adult Matters’ and will incorporate all forms of education, from early years through to adult education.

For many Old Labour is the 60’s , 70’s and early 80’s

I think all the political parties have lost sight of who they are supposed to be. Labour was originally supposed to support the working class as opposed to the upper class. I think Corbyn is more concerned with his own personal agenda. He certainly isn't doing what is best for traditional Labour voters. He should be making sure that children from poorer families have the opportunity to fulfil their potential by providing grammar school places and assisted university places. Instead of raising the standard for the poor, he wants to lower the standard for the better off. This is his idea of an equal society.
