Re: I've not been paying that much attention but I hear...
"1) He says that he's going to instruct the Bank of England to print enough money to pay off the UK deficit."
He's said nothing of the sort. He's suggested that, if more QE is required, it should be given to real human beings rather than private banks. Since the money will be put in banks sooner or later anyway, it just means that rather than you borrowing your own tax money back from the bank, the bank must borrow the money from you. Some might say that they kind of owe us for obliterating a decade of economic progress.
"2) He doesn't believe that countries should have borders."
He doesn't believe that, either. He believes in freedom of movement, but to be fair that is also a central tenant of the EU, which is far from a socialist organization.
Seriously, Corbyn isn't some hard-left fanatic looking to revive the USSR. He's a fairly typical moderate social democrat. The kind of policies he's putting forward would not raise eyebrows in modern Germany (that famously awful economy). Only idiots claim he's an anti-Semite; and only idiots would suggest that they can predict the result of an election in 5 years time.
