His driver also ran over a BBC Cameraman earlier today too.
Here's his face as they drive away after crushing the guy between a wall and a moving vehicle.
The Tom Cruise looking dickhead is Stalinist Seamus Milne.
The best bit of the manifesto is "Not to use the armed forces unless as a last resort." as if every government since Suez has had a dramatic moment of a PM slamming the table and going "LETS SLAUGHTER EVERYONE!" whenever an issue comes up.
NO JEREMY! YOU ALREADY HAVE THE JIHADI VOTE, YOU DON'T NEED TO APPEAL TO THEM FURTHER!

I quite liked the whole "let's do away with miltary interventionism." Ahem. Remind me which party was in government when we went into an ill-advised Middle Eastern military adventure which ended up destabilising the entire region?
Also they're gonna make Britain an autism friendly society (no, seriously, it's in there.)

So that's how Jeremy's really going to fix the railways. He's going to replace every engine with Thomas The Tank Engine (and likely put Dianne Abbot in charge, or control, if you will.)

OBLIGATORY MEME DEPLOYED:
To be fair to J.C he was the head of Stop The War during that time and made all sorts of pretty useless speeches.

I had a quick look through of the Labour manifesto and I'd really like to know how this is supposed to work:
Are laws to do with land ownership not going to apply to them?

I think that's one of Corbins "pet" projects from back in the day something about all property being held in collective or something.

Someone once said I was racist for shittalking Gypsies so I'm saying it again to spite them: the Gypsies you're trying to "save" are irredeemable, just don't bother with them.

The Labour Party saying that it doesn't like anti-Semitism. Why did they not remove Ken 'Kike Krusher' Livingstone from the Party?

The section on brexit is absolutely the best pile of shit.
"We will respect the will of the british people in the referendum."
Actual nuts and bolts of the plan include retaining the customs union and single market, aka no freedom from the EU whatsoever, no ability to do independent trade deals and we'd still be paying vast sums into it as well as following any idiotic, barmy law they enact.
Oh and nationalising the railways, water, power, and Royal Mail.
Without costing for any of it.
The railways is easy enough and already explained, just don't reissue franchises, or issue them straight to a preferred bidder which happens to be govt run.
The rest though is already divvied up amongst very expensive companies which are in turn owned by fuckloads of pension schemes.

And according to the I today, they seem to be prepared to pay ANY "divorce bill" from the EU that Merkel and Drunker want.
I asked a former school friend on Facebook who posted loads of shilling for Corbyn how it was paid for and he couldn't give any specifics beyond "tax the rich." Given the average mathematical skills of people like Corbyn and the Abbopotamus I'm not entirely sure they've thought this one through. When I pointed this out he regressed into personal attacks and reeeeeing about how all Tories just wanted to enslave the poor.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother, frankly.

5% rise on anyone on £80k and above, and then 10% on anyone on £120k and above is the solution.
Estimated to net them around £43bn a year or so. (It won't.)
Because the promise of class warfare worked so well in 2010.... and 2015, so is bound to work a third time, right?
Never mind the really stupid stuff like a cap on the highest paid versus the lowest paid in any company. That's going to end about the same way as the attempted tax on bankers bonuses did, where HSBC just paid everyone twice their usual salary for a year before the govt quietly dropped its plans.
The cover's already being memed to death:
Another that doesn't have any kind of poster version was "For those on bennies, not for you."

I think it might be more they know it doesn't matter because they'll not be in power and can say "Well we said we'd do X in our manifesto, should have voted for us!".

The Lib Dems strike with their manifesto.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-39942573
http://www.libdems.org.uk/manifesto
It features:
A pledge for a second referendum on the EU, featuring an option to Remain in the EU. So much for respecting the result.
Legalising and taxing cannabis (TBF I like this policy)
Among other things. I don't quite know what they hope to achieve by calling for ANOTHER vote on the matter, ultimately a lower turnout would benefit Leave far more than Remain, as would undoubtedly happen due to voter fatigue.

He'd get so many more votes if he didn't push for the second referendum IMO. That weed thing is a genuinely different policy.

A Lib Dem member went on the Daily Politics saying the party is not willing to be part of a coalition and fully expects the Consevatives to win so the manifesto is kind of pointless.
Also after saying they wouldn't introduce tuition fees I'm not willing to trust them on a single issue pledge, legalizing weed seems like something that'd be immediately dropped during any coalition negotiations (The only way Lib Dems will get in power).
Edit:
Looks like the Conservatives are going to play the SNP at their own passive-aggressive policy game so they can say "Sorry but we've got a mandate against another referendum!":
