Is there anyone left with a brain cell who doesn't know what Corbyn's Labour will do if in power? This week's excuse is the public sector pay issue, but it's just another variation on the magic money tree theme. The OBR chestnut still working, I see, because Marr doesn't really understand it beyond the numbers his producers feed him and can't get past the first block McDonnell puts up.<br /><br />It's like classical sonata form: introduce the main theme and material, introduce the 'B' theme, repeat the main theme. Then a development section, incorporating the previous material but introducing new ideas as well, exploring more distant key areas. Then the recapitulation, the opening section returns again, with a slight difference, often with a coda tacked on to finish it off. And near the end of the segment, we actually get the recap of the Labour plan to tax the rich just a tiny amount which will pay for everything.<br /><br />The coda was the bit about 'social murder' and how angry McDonnell remains about Grenfell.<br /><br />I hope the BBC doesn't have to hire bodyguards for Marr after all this anti-Corbyn bias.

I would be most will see it as not being a negative.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.com
