"Prime Minister Corbyn… and the 1,000 days that destroyed Britain: As this brilliant imagining of a Corbyn premiership reveals, Tories who gloat over Labour's woe should be careful what they wish for…"
It was a dark and stormy night. Brilliant.For a piece of piercing futurology, this does sound a lot like the recent past. It could almost be describing 2011, when rioters and looters filled Britain's streets, the sky over London was thick with choking black smoke, and people fought in the hellish glow of the flames. But obviously the government of the day had nothing to do with that.The night sky over London was thick with choking black smoke, but in the hellish glow of the flames rising from a myriad burning buildings, the rioters, looters and demonstrators fighting on the city streets could just make out the United Nations helicopter taking Jeremy Corbyn away from 10 Downing Street to his retirement cottage in Ireland.

Everything is named after The People. Which is horrible, obviously. It's much better when everything is named after The Queen.Carney is dispatched back to Canada, the bond market collapses, interest rates spiral and servicing national debt interest becomes the number one national budget item. It's Greecemageddon, just like George Osborne warned us all. If only we'd listened.The rich, hit with 95 percent income tax, flee the country, meaning that the worst thing in the world happens: the London property bubble deflates:Within days of becoming Prime Minister, Corbyn … stripped the Bank [of England] of its political independence, renamed it The People 's Bank and sacked [Governor Mark] Carney.
"We will use these empty, unwanted homes for social housing," Corbyn said. That earned him plaudits with the public, who had yet to appreciate how the collapse of the London luxury property market would have an impact on the value of ordinary homes across the country. But the rest of the world was less impressed.
This is exactly the sort of politically correct thought-policing that would almost certainly occur under the Corbynista regime. Jan Moir would probably only be allowed to write one word at a time, provided that word was "diversity". Richard Littlejohn would be under house arrest with a tube sock rammed up to his tonsils as a condition of his parole and David Thomas wouldn 't be able to publish some of his Daily Mail classics, like: "A memo to the sweaty, Lycra-clad bike brigade: The rules of the road apply to you, too", and "Say what you like about the French, but they have the world's finest political crumpet". TypicalThey needed little excuse to censor the press and broadcasters in the interest of "fair, honest and truthful reporting". A blogger who wrote that Britain was descending to the level of Zimbabwe was prosecuted for libelling the memory of President Robert Mugabe.
Yes, Jeremy Corbyn lays Britain's nuclear arsenal out on the front lawn of his national garage sale, and doesn't think twice when cheery Uncle Vlad comes round the corner asking for two Polaris and a Trident. The doddering old fool can't see that these submarines should be left in the hands of the doddering old fools at the MoD. Can you imagine anything more disastrous than Britain not following President Trump into carpet-nuking China?In the end, the £5 loaf of bread (hey – we've all got to shop at Peyton & Byrne some time) clears the way for Leader Of The Opposition Boris Johnson to call a vote of no confidence. He is swept to power as a broken Corbs is choppered off like a wimp, thereby proving all the told-you-so eye-rollers right. Whereupon Boris presumably laces up the jackboots on his Pinochet-style death squads, gives every millionaire in Britain a povvo to ride round like a wheelbarrow, bans black men and turns the former Deptford JobCentre into a tacky bar for pissed-up gentrifiers. The gap between rich and poor explodes again. Utopia is restored. Thank God.@gavhaynesCorbyn did not have time to leave Nato of his own will. When he sold our nuclear submarines to President Putin at a cut-price rate, Trump called for the UK's expulsion from Nato and imposed an embargo on the import of British goods.
