My thoughts on your manager

Surely he'd be more similar to May? Actually in power, actually causing harm to what he's in charge of. Although to compare Wenger to May is incredibly harsh on the frenchman no matter how badly he's performing.

No, Corbyn's more apt. Corbyn is in power, he's head of the Labour Party and he is causing them serious harm, so much so that he's making them irrelevant, just as Arsene is doing to Arsenal.
May, whatever you might think of her, is actually popular across the country and she'd win a massive majority tomorrow if she called an election. Corbyn's Labour would be annihilated, again, just like Arsenal are week-in, week-out on the pitch

Don't sit on the fence mate, let us know how you really feel

You would have to either be incredibly stupid or a who benefits from the suffering of others to vote Tory.

Not true.

Some are both.

Would you like to explain how Corbyn is inept? Or is it just that you believe everything you read in an almost entirely right-wing press, owned by a handful of billionaires, with an interest in undermining Corbyn because he poses a threat to the status quo.

You have to ask yourself, if the Government were continuing to make cuts, how big would the deficit be now.

Sure there are a few mega rich making a few tax saving but this is small fry compared to the 10s of billions of extra money this Government need to properly invest in all the key areas - NHS, Schools, Defence, Police.

Even with very high employment levels, low interest rates and large scale cut backs its still a struggle to balance the books. We already pay over £1bn a week on Government debt. It is a very painful process but really a prudent Government have little choice otherwise the UK might end up 'doing a Leeds'.

The Tories whilst in power have almost doubled the national debt while in the process hitting the very neediest in the country to beyond breaking point in many cases. Foodbanks are now seen as the norm.

I want my own country away from this right wing establishment where we well hopefully build a moderate left society.

As you're obviously a Tory voter you sir are a c#£t.

Sure, Corbyn's inept because he has no concept of strategy. He has no media strategy. Droning on about social justice and the super rich on Twitter does not replace having an organised and pro-active PR team which is dedicated to keeping a leader abreast of current affairs and able to strike and challenge the government effectively at every opportunity. Corbyn seems out of the loop most of the time and it's the media which often ends up informing Corbyn of events rather than vice-versa. It looks weak and ineffective.
He has no Brexit strategy. He's annoyed remainers by whipping the Party to trigger Article 50 and he's annoyed leavers by being wishy-washy over freedom of movement. He's sat somewhere in the middle when the country is clearly divided and thus is losing out to both May and Farron who have implemented their strategies, made their views clear and thus carry large numbers of people with them.
He's lost his own MPs. Some were never with him to start with but even MPs who supported him during his first leadership campaign have since deserted him over the last two years. When 80% of your own MPs accuse you of being weak, indecisive and unfit to lead then that should send you a clear message. And no, Lisa Nandy and Tom Watson, etc are not part of the Blairite resurgence. Watson knifed Blair back in 2005. They're just sensible individuals who can see a dud when it's staring them in the face.
Blaming the media for Corbyn's failures makes you the myopic sheep. The guy may be a good egg, because he's a horrible leader, and that's that.
