Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
If this is a genuine Party-issued poster, then someone at Labour HQ needs a thorough and comprehensive punishment beating.

...and who all DIED in the process!
Idiots...
Theresa May is quite a ringer for the Emperor, too.

Don't you mean £300k...?

I'm saying:
- unis aren't the best thing for most people (i.e. I agree with you), as I said in the post you replied to
- many grads don't pay back their tuition fees (i.e. your point does not cover all grads)
the last thing I'd want is to destroy what I think is the core purpose of unis:- Educating the brightest citizens
- Doing research
as opposed to churning out unemployable grads,As an aside, my long-held opinion (based on working in Unis myself) was recently reinforced when I helped my mate (a Prof) with a research paper covering this issue last year - in several continents now, many engineering grads are unemployable since after massive government-led expansion of student numbers, the average ability level of the course intake means most are not able to be taught in a non-vocational fashion (i.e. they can't understand theory, but can learn methodologies), so with current uni-style teaching, they graduate with inadequate skills
Importantly though, the other old white guys were part of WINNING where Corbyn's Labour managed to lose 80 council seats to Cons in Wales for christs sake ... Wales might as well not normally vote and just be assumed to be labour/plaid cymru, but now cons have nearly as much say as PC and half as much of Labour there
Overall in the UK Corbyn inspired the mass blue-ification of local councils... if the General election goes this way then even a coalition of all the opposition parties wont be enough to even hinder the Cons in the commons... the only real hope is that the 30% turnout was the cause and will prompt a lot of people to vote in panic to stop the bluest governent in a very long time... lets face it, Corbyn wont be the cause of anyone without a blue tie getting seats only luck will

I'm not actually worried about the idea of her as Home Secretary though - she's so out of touch she will either make some huge gaffe and have to resign within weeks, or the Home Office will just ignore her and get on with the job. I was actually much more worried about May as Home Secretary - she was obsessed by detail but was almost always wrong, and both caused a huge amount of trouble and was constantly being slapped down by the courts for exceeding her authority. That is not a good precedent for her as Prime Minister.

Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
I also wouldn't be surprised if he's partly right - although not enough to swing the election. The council elections may have helped dispel the illusion to some extent, but the low turnout will enable him to think it will be different in a month and a different context. I actually hope he's right. I'm not sure I want to see him as PM - I don't think he's naturally suited to the job - but I would certainly like to see May lose.
