Well said Jim - absolutely spot on re the 'real persona' of Theresa May. The devious snake of a Home Secretary who moved up the ranks to grab the opportunity when it arose!! I'm not a Corbyn fan or a NLP supporter but, despite certain of Corbyn's faults, he is indeed a decent, scrupulous man compared with Cruella de Ville!

Completely agree with that.

Actually he is a bit like Bernie Sanders in his outlook and being a thoroughly decent chap!!  My fear though is like Bernie he will never win an election, whether by fair or foul methods!!!  These guys just cannot invigorate enough people outside their core base to sweep them to power!!  When is the likely next election in the UK anyway?  I can't help thinking that Cameron should have called one immediately after the Brexit vote as this was a defeat for the official government stance.

Do you think sanders could have won it for the democrats SCO ? Not even with a more radical approach than clinton ? Might have countered trumps arguments with something a bit more sane.

I do think he would have beaten Trump, would have been close maybe but most of the independents and even the moderate republicans would ahve voted for him. He is not that left wing, but he is anti-establishment and some of the things he was saying are the same as what Trump has said with regards to political reform and curbing lobbyists. Trump would have struggled to trash him and he didn't have the baggage that Hillary came with which "offset" the crap Trump was saying.

Problem is due to the "establishment" in the US he was never going to win the Democratic nomination due to the rules they have with regards to their voting system and that what stopped him from winning, not his popularity.
