you may not agree with a free press, but it is one of the cornerstones of our democracy. The free press exists to ask questions of our politicians and it appears that Corbyn has shown he does not agree with a free press and does not beleive he should be accountable to those who read the press. his actions speak louder than words.

Throughout history, every socialist and hard left government has created an internal security agency above the law to suppress the people. The most well known were the stasi and securitate.

As for PMQs, one person's "ducking out" is another person's attempt to bring some credibility to a practice which has long since lost that quality in my opinion. Speaking as someone who is sick and tired of the yah, boo, sucks stuff we get every Wednesday lunchtime, I've no problem with something different being tried - it may not work, but, hopefully, we are now into an era where trying something different becomes more commonplace, because what we've had since the mid 90s has resulted in a populace that has had more than enough of the rush to the centre ground.

Corbyn was certainly ignoring Sky on that video and good on him for that - I agree though that dropping out of interviews with news channels which don't have a blatant political agenda doesn't look good.
Saying that I can't see how a career politician can be seen to be a breathe of fresh air. He is a politician so should be instantly mistrusted.

Corbyn is a socialist. pretty much all socialists disagree with freedom of the press, freedom of thought and freedom of expression.
