Why not do it in 5 years?

[Bella Kemp]

I thought you agreed with all that? Or am I wrong in remembering you as recommending against supporting a Corbyn government because it wasn't the Labour party you remembered, ie the post-WW2 one that took similar measures to reconstructing the country, resulting in 30 years of consistent economic growth?

Gosh no Serial_Apologist! You and I are on the same side. I don't care for Mr Corbyn because he doesn't understand realpolitik and the art of compromise and was therefore unelectable. Alas I was proved right and now we have a truly dreadful government. I am a passionate believer in social justice, but this can only be achieved by bending a little like bamboo in the wind. On my high horse I would have fought valiantly on the Corbynista side - but experience has taught me that those on high horses tend to fall off.
