    Someone who's made a career of peddling Jewish conspiracy theories now makes a video peddling MSM conspiracy theory. If you reckon he's a good spokesman for Corbyn, good for you.

    I like how you are not even talking or referring to the content of the broadcast or the policy being advocated. I think everyone here knows you dislike Corbyn so you can safely move away from saying how bad he is, without the constant reminder.

    The policy was actually advocated by Nick Clegg in the coalition days. It is not unique for Corbyn and it is actually a rather decent one. The pilots have been very positive and shown significant improvements. It is also a current policy within the Scottish government.

    Are you going to discuss it or continue to ignore it?

    If you're just going to post a video and pretend it's worthwhile discussion, why not link to the article which that video is part of? Note: The Canary, which the author is a regular columnist for, and which is known as the left wing version of Breitbart or whatever extreme right loonrag you care to name. And yeah, the author has been on RT as well.

    Only saw the video myself, but you still not commented further on it. I don't particularly care about the person who put the video on YouTube or even about Corbyn himself. It doesn't still change the fact of the BBC reported as they did on the policy subject. It still doesn't change the fact you haven't commented on the BBC report or the policy itself.

    The video, and your post, is about the tone of the report. And whatever their failings, the BBC has far more credibility than the likes of The Canary and Russia Today whom the video's author pundits for. I'm not going to be lectured to by one of their shills.
