Where was the suggestion that this is a choice between capitalism and socialism? That battle is long since dead. Capitalism is clearly the better system. That doesn't mean it is perfect though, and there's no reason not to strive for a better form of capitalism.

Getting my train @ 4pm. Getting sick of the Brighton Center - been there for way too many conferences.

Shame they don't use Blackpool Winter Gardens anymore - I could cycle there!
 
I don't agree with a lot of Corbyns political choices but being gender blind to appointments is a good call. Ultra feminists like Harman will have to use to the fact that jobs will be awarded based on merit and not your sex.

Awesome, some serious names in that list. Especially pleased about Stiglitz and Piketty of course. No doubt they'll have a difficult job though, convincing dumb Britain that managing an economy isn't like managing a credit card debt.
 
Having to choose an Xbox over a PlayStation is a pretty bad position to be in, to be fair. It's indicative of a poor education and poor life choices made from childhood though to becoming an adult. One day we can hope to live in a society where people are informed enough to make better decisions.
