Jeremy Corbyn dismisses rhetoric that society has been 'damaged' by migrants | LBC

[@martincopeland8153]

The most compelling argument against immigration is to be found on the front benches of the Tory Party. However, like grooming gangs, they are the exceptions and immigration on the whole has benefited the country. My own ancestor came by boat from France. In 1066.

Mostly it was the very pro-conservative, right-wing media in this country portraying him as a communist and as anti-semitic. To be fair, many people rejected his Brexit policy (which was the main issue at the 2019 election), but by-and large his policies made sense and were agreed with. However, the 'establishment'/aristocracy in the UK would have been harmed by his policies, so did everything possible to vilify him - and, sadly, it worked. Instead we got Boris Johnson, arguably the worst Prime Minister ever, second only to his short-lived immediate successor, Liz Truss.

[@RustyRoger]

Jeremy Corbyn is a broadly compassionate person with a great track record of advocating for reconciliation between groups in conflict and reduction in violence. He's been a long-term supporter of equality and has walked the walk when it's come to attempting to change policies etc. to bring the changes about. Therefore, Conservative press has (successfully) fought to slander him because he is a progressive, whereas conservatism is rooted in being regressive (i.e. believing that things were better 'back in the day' and trying to go back to those times). He isn't perfect (like how he was only weakly supporting Remain in the Brexit debate, and probably thought that leaving was better), but his policies would have made society generally better rather than worse, as we've seen with the likes of Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and now Rishi Sunak. But the character assassination was incredibly effective to the point that Labour had to get rid of him to appease the centrists and slightly right voters that dislike the Tories who are now swinging far-right, so that they can guarantee a win in the next election.

There is other ways to tackle the issue of a declining population like promoting people to have children by either paying them or other means and we could also start by increasing wages for the NHS so people actually want to work there

[@arandmorgan]

The real reason, we are getting paid less and it's a race to the bottom is the wealthy have tricked us into hating one another. We get our kicks from knowing others are worse off than us.

What culture do you mean Jake ?. And possibly the fact that we had 20,000 less Police officers for years plus austerity policies add to crime figures more than nurses,doctors and teachers

Wow, Jeremy seems to think that Japan cannot possibly have a transport or education system, and thinks that China will not have either in about 20 years! I assure him that Japan does have trains, quite packed, but exist nontheless, as I have been there!

Famously old Corbyn talks with great authority about things he knows little or nothing about. Im not saying he's dishonest or a conman. Just that he's not very bright.

The fact that he managed to ride the Dianne Abbott fun time experience with his eyes open on his political ideology alone is more than enough proof of his radical extremism

Mr Corbyn talks sense. No wonder Brish voters have rejected his ideas

[@evolassunglasses4673]

He should of accepted the result of the Referendum. He was very anti EU all his political life just like his hero Tony Benn. He became leader suddenly flipped flopped and crashed in the Old Labour Leave seats. Plus, Immigration is captured importing an OVER SUPPLY of labour in, which is a race to the bottom particularly for the working class. Oligarchs love immigration. Capitalism will never invest in training or increase pay and conditions if it can just fly in labour Back in the day the Left understood this, even Bernie Sanders was anti immigration.
