That's quite a wish list, Mr Twin.
How much will it cost, to "re-nationalise" the railways, and the utility companies?
Tens and tens of billions, which would come from where, exactly?
Unless you expect them to be liberated without compensation, in true Trotskyite fashion?
Only a few little obstacles in your way.
Even if ex grammar school educated Jeremy Corbyn were to be elected, he would still need to survive five years before the next election. My bet is that JC will not be leader of the Labour Party in 2020, I would offer odds of 10 to 1 that he will not survive as leader at the next general election.
Some of us older folk remember the old joke, nationalise crime, make sure it doesn't pay!
If by some miracle, he did lead labour into the next election, he would not win. Odds of winning? 100/1
If by a double miracle he was elected, he could not nationalise any of the above, because he would bankrupt the nation. If he "stole back" privately owned (foreign owned, mostly) Companies, the stampede of investments from the stock market would be the ruin of us all. Insanity. Odds on him being able to fulfill your wish list? A million to one.
Rides a bike to work, I believe. Lot of cyclists having nasty accidents in London, hope nothing tragic happens to JC. Maybe he should start using taxis!
