Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn: Redistribute UK wealth, tax the rich

Associated Press  

LONDON — If Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn wins Britain’s general election on Thursday, he’s promising a remix of British society, with a strong emphasis on raising the lot of Britain’s disenfranchised and forcing tax-dodging corporations and wealthy individuals to pick up part of the tab. Corbyn’s key theme is that decades of unbridled free market capitalism in Britain has created a capitalist elite at the expense of working people, who have seen public services slashed and aspirations dampened. Corbyn’s core message deals with Britain’s cherished yet struggling National Health Service, created by a Labour government in 1948. “In terms of mainstream media, what you’ve got is an extremely biased and quite visceral campaign being waged against Jeremy Corbyn,” he said.
