Until the bill arrives and then they scuttle off into opposition leaving others to pick up the pieces and cop all the flak for the tough choices which subsequently have to be made. There's nothing new about Corbyn or his version of Labour politics.

I completely agree with the idea of a mixed economy to ensure that the less well off are provided for, but the Corbyn/McDonnell Marxist approach fails to recognise that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Once the money is gone, it is gone. Why are people not learning from the mistakes made by other countries? This approach has failed wherever it has been tried. All it does is to make everyone poor (apart from a small elite at the top).

Well they don't want us to ask that question do they and it's not just the rich. The bank of mum and dad is currently supporting a whole lot of younger people and at the same time often having to pay for their social care right down to a very minimal amount of assets. A valuable family home is an obvious and easy target but you can only take it once and after that, especially when you've forced down the property values upon which the BOMAD is reliant, there are no more such assets left to take from them and probably not their children. Who'll be paying for all that social care then? We're not talking millionaire celebrities here, just ordinary families who've struggled to own their own homes and once it's gone it's gone.
You're dead right about the small elite at the top - once they assume control you soon find out that their version of socialism applies very differently to the ordinary masses than it does to them and their privileged chums. No shortages, queues and strife for them, only the best. It's happened time and time again all around the world yet still some people deny the inevitable.
