most socialists come from privilege, that's why they think socialism is feasible, they have never had to endure it.

Do pay attention, sweaty - read what I've written not what you want to see.

My whole point is the illogicality of branding the Tories as 'Toffs' makes as much sense as saying that all Labour leaders must be 'working class'.

Both are stereotypical cobbblers.
Didn't mention you, old chap. Read what I've written not what you want to see. ;)

Just so there's no misunderstanding, I never said the Tories had to have a toff as a leader.

The point I'm trying to make is, what would Corbyn have to lose (except a bit of pride) if he did become the country's leader and all his socialist policies failed, resulting in an economic meltdown? I appreciate we've probably strayed into the political twighlight zone but do you not see why I can't reconcile a working class person voting for the middle class JC.
Working class people no longer vote Labour. We're poor not stupid.

What a load of utter tosh,printed to sell a newspaper. One of the finest politicians that ever lived in my opinion was Tony Benn who was born to well to do parents & realised the trials & tribulations of the working class & joined the Labour party in order to counteract the injustices of the Tories. If Jeremy Corbyn is anything like Tony Benn I for one would heartily support him.

Talking of Tony Benn, Ron, you might want to have a read of this ( from the Guardian, incidentally):
