why is there so much hatred for Corbyn?

IronGiant

The ones that use English and not infantile taunts that grown ups have to look up in an Urban slang dictionary?

Good post.

I would add, from a personal view point that I don't like the indulgence of Corbyn's identity politics and feel he's also a bit of a self-loathing white male indoctrinated in something like the Frankfurt School's critical theory. A slippery slope that almost inevitably disenfranchises the broader political views.

I can't stand Corbyn, mainly because of his cunning ability to be so inconsistent and how he is being presented.

Just look at the train incident, good point but totally wrongly executed and instead of being honest and holding up his hand that they got that wrong he argues against it.

He's got a thing for the 'underdog', nothing wrong with that in principle. But he seems to refuse to listen to the other side and look at the big picture. Really not good.

And the culture regarding anti-semitism that flourished under his week leadership really takes the biscuit. Labour has always been on the edge with it and mixing up criticism against Israel (absolutely fine) with anti-semitic behaviour (absolutely not fine), but on his watch that has become seriously bad. Likely in combination with that underdog syndrome and the inability to look at the big picture.

But most of all, he is simply useless at his job. The party is in opposition, the Government is the weakest any opposition party has faced in recent times for a very long period now. And still, he is not providing a good constructive opposition, nor is gaining any inroad to a majority. That is seriously bad for the country as a whole.

The jealousy thing in going after those who are independent are what are country depends on is just pathetic.

Hate is rather a strong word - Personally I pity the poor man - he is from my view point simply a mascot of Labour, John McDonald and the unions run the party.I am sure if Labour where in power you would quickly see Jezza removed and Mr McDonald instated.

Some of Labours ideas would be acceptable if far more moderate - but with their current lurch to the far left - communist/ultra socialist agenda how will it actually work.  Suggested bans on private jets and on being a billionaire - really...

As with many communist states they are run by a dictator - they tell the people their conditions are for the good of all but live in the lap of luxury them self.

Also does a high tax economy really garner more than a low tax?

Possibly initially but they will find those who have amassed wealth can easily afford to move or hide it.
Not sure the Robin Hood approach of simply snatching would be legal or ethical... but then some would argue the likes of Amazon, Google are not ethical in the way they act either...

Once the HNWI's have gone the burden will then start to fall further down the chain and onto those who simply make a living - as they make enough to be taxed but not enough to move it elsewhere. With the individuals who had no intention of making a living potentially benefiting more greatly...

The mindset then may spiral to a point where the person on the street starts to feel "why work, we get more by not"...

Then who is paying the high tax?

Is little "high tax" more agreeable than moderate  "low tax"... Hong Kong thrives on an even lower tax economy than the UK as far I understand it...as everyone pays it - there is less impetus to avoid paying it... this in theory should equal a more stable tax revenue.

0.06% of the membership has been reported as being anti-Semitic I'm not condoning it far from it.
But a bit of perspective is needed with the whole anti semitism affair.

Perspective is how the Labour leadership has dealt with those reported and those that have reported them. Just saying.

This.  Is what we should be moving our tax system towards.

I really don't think any left winger (certainly not Corby or McD) gets the above at all though.

Most are too full of hatred and jealousy of the rich.

For myself they are now little more than  a protest uni movement more than the opposition party they should be .
