The UK is not as bad as Venezuela

Well, it sure is a good thing that you weren't, so you can make that statement with the absolute authority of someone who couldn't possibly know.

I know what my friends have told me about their son. They are paying to put him through university. He is studying politics and music. His parents are not high earners and both work full time and his father works as much overtime as he can. I haven’t asked but I suspect that he will leave university debt free.

With this in mind, anyone would think that he would appreciate what they are doing for him but this is not the case. He doesn’t contact them during term time and when he is home, he hardly gives them the time of day and refuses to discuss politics or what he is being taught. He spends most of his time in his bedroom.

They feel as though he has joined some kind of cult.

What a baffling turn of events. The only possible explanation there could be is that Universities are places of indoctrination that turn children against parents using diabolical means. We must recall all students immediately!

Or, it could just be that this is a perfectly normal thing that happens to literally any adolescent who finds themselves adapting to a completely new social climate outside of the one they grew up in.

All these inconvenient truths must be very frustrating for Islamic apologists to cope with.

JC and his cohorts would feel the same if they didn’t put votes before morality.

From the comments section –

After reading that there is only one alternative - sell sell sell. I just cannot believe what I am reading, this is a lot worse that communism in former Eastern and Central Europe. Pure Marxism.
I hope those here who were not afraid of Commie Corbynov now see their true colours may just revise their optimistic approach to that idiocy.

Land for the Many - Not for Landlords - Property118

James Brokenshire, Housing Secretary, said: “These proposals are extraordinary and deeply damaging in equal measure. Labour will stop at nothing to hammer families with more tax and make home ownership a pipe dream for future generations.

“Plans to seize land into public ownership also show Labour’s true colours of more and more state control. This tax bombshell for families would mean family homes with gardens paying far more and higher taxes on pensioners by abolishing the single person discount.”

It is just as well that the UK still has a Right leaning newspaper or we would be kept totally in the dark.

Jeremy Corbyn is under pressure from some of his own MPs to break his silence on the violence engulfing Venezuela and personally condemn President Nicolas Maduro.

Corbyn under pressure to condemn Venezuela

He needs to get off his bike and get in touch with reality.
Jeremy Corbyn has no power over Venezuela, which is troubled far more by the lack of willingness to cooperate with itself than by anything that Maduro as a person could ever do.

There as in the UK, or anywhere else, specific politicians can only do what the population enables them to.

The UK is indeed very different from Venezuela, but it is puzzling to see people seemingly claim fear that "socialism" would make any specific country endangered in similar ways to Venezuela's.

In all honesty, that is a difficult claim to take seriously.

Corbyn and his crew have dreams of turning the UK into Venezuela.

You know that not to be the case. If nothing else, Corbyn and whoever you may be calling "his crew" not to envy the current crisis situation there.

If you are going to criticize someone, is it too much to ask for the criticism to be believable?

We will end up with car-crash Britain if the Corbynistas gain power.
