Corbyn: Government should requisition homes
'Mr Corbyn's spokesman was asked about the legality of this and said: "We would find a way to do this if necessary" '

Lol, FML, RIP rule of law I guess. This joker is even worse than May, quite an achievement.

WORSE than T.May who wanted to reduce human rights, re-introduce fox hunting and tax the elderly so harshly that their families would be indepted?

I'm not terribly impressed by Corbyn. But T.May is close to the worst European politican that's surfaced for eighty years. Well, divided by the amount of influence, of course...

@Rosencrantz Corbyn just haven't had time to "shine" yet, if/when he gets in power, we will find out I guess.
But, yeh, May is pretty damn awful, probably no point making comparisons.

Fair enough. I just fucking loathe T.May. It really isn't fair to compare her to anyone other than... Well, I don't want to runt head-first into Godwin's Law...

@Rosencrantz Dunno, it's a matter of perspective. I'd rather have May any day of the week vs Trump. So yeh, if it's any consolation, it can always get worse, haha

I actually think May's worse than the Orange Hydra. I believe she's smarter, thus more dangerous.

But that, if anything, is a matter of perspective, I guess. Considering that I'm European.

I mean, fuck... I have running bets with friends that there'll be a proper civil war in the US within two years if the fucker doesn't abdicate before that.

@Rosencrantz I see your point re being smarter and on one hand I agree, on the other... a lot of harm resulting from Trump isn't even directly related to him being evil basically, but just him being stupid and impulsive af.
It always makes me shudder that a man who has no idea what's the Nuclear triad nor ever heard of the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction holds the key to the nukes.
I'm reasonably certain May won't wake up one day randomly nuking another country, Trump however...

Personally, not being an American, I always imagine the Orange Hydra being shot in the head by his Chief of Staff if he ever had the spontaneous inclination to nuke someone...

Which would be great television.
