Are you sure your pal wasn't referring to Littlejohn? The trouble with stuff like this is that it reads like "you think it's been shit for the last nine years, but, but, but you wait, you wait if the other lot get in".
I've no great faith in Corbyn or his party these days, but I do know that the people in charge of us since 2010 have made people's lives worse, put narrow party interests before that of the country, showed horrendous political judgement and don't give me any of that stuff about 2008 being a Labour created crisis - it was a world event and anyway, the Conservatives backed all of the measures Labour took to deal with the immediate aftermath of the crash at the time.
From where I'm sitting, Labour is one of a few options that look preferable to what we have at present.
