Ridiculous Theresa May interview with Andrew Neil. (video)

[Macca]

No worries, and thanks for being honest.

I also understand and appreciate why you took that decision, but it does explain your (sometimes) hard-line anti-socialist stance now [often veering towards pro-capitalist], which has obviously been born from your previous bad experiences with socialism.

Marco.

It's ideology and idealists I take a stance against. Don't care from what side of politics it comes from. For example I favour water, power and rail to be nationally owned. Not because I am a socialist or because of ideological reasons but because it makes obvious sense. And I won't be intimidated into not saying what I think.

No worries, and in terms of the last bit, quite right. I'd defend to the death everyone's right to free speech in this country.

I feel *exactly* the same way about expressing my views on government corruption, centuries of unjust Westminster rule, and the nefarious [often immoral] activities of the royals and the elite!

If I had the power to do so, I'd end it all instantly, and force them all to donate their collective fortunes to charity.

Exact opposite here. I care only for idealism. Without ideals we have nothing to aim for in trying to improve things for the majority, we have no vision of how things should be and could be. Redistribution of wealth back from those who looted it from the working man is very important to me. The biggest crime is the existence of homelessness and food banks in such a rich country as the UK. Pensioners freezing in winter time, nurses having to use food banks and countless hundreds of thousands having to worry if they will eat everyday this week, never having even a weekend break, never mind a holiday, in decades, worrying if they will have to pawn something etc to pay the next bill etc. Alive but not much of a life. Taking back a third of the wealth of the richest 1% would easily end all this.... the ones with a Ferrari for each day of the week, an ocean going yacht and six mansions in different countries... no one needs to have that sort of money and for this to be extant whilst others suffer for the immediate lack of a tenner to buy food is in my view criminal.

[Marco]

I don't really need to say it again, Jez, but when it comes to this stuff, you and I are singing from *exactly* the same hymn sheet!

And Corbyn's got a damn sight better chance of delivering what's needed, in that respect, than May!!

Trouble is these folk make the laws and control the police etc and politicians of course. Poor old disabled folk like me get little and if, or probably when May gets back in i will have a damn site less. No chance of a holiday ever either. Have to turn down thermostat a touch every year as prices soar. It goes on.... glad im old tbh because i feel sorry for most of the young

Which is why we need an idealist like Corbyn, who is hopefully ideologically above being bought off, to deliver... and for the many not the few.

Every time Mayhem opens her mouth she looks more incompetent, less statesman like and more of a cold, uncaring type.... Corbyn on the other hand, after non stop vilification from the Tory press (which won't stop, wealthy press barons are amongst those that Corbyn will tax more!), is now getting to properly present himself to the British people and they are seeing that he's a really nice bloke, caring, warm, humorous, with policies that actually make perfect sense and much more prime-ministerial material than they had thought possible
