Question Time audience member who blasted Corbyn’s ‘terrifying socialist ideas’ slams him for saying ‘it’s in his head’


A QUESTION Time audience member called Jeremy Corbyn’s views as “terrifying” has hit out at the Labour leader for implying his fears existed only in his head.

Tom Gray, 25, took Mr Corbyn to task over his party’s hard-left manifesto, which was published earlier this week, on the special election edition of the BBC programme.

“Your reckless socialist ideas are genuinely terrifying to me, my family and my friends and I think freedom would genuinely erode if you got to No10,” he said.

But a visibly shaken Corbyn told Tom he could do nothing about the ideas “in his head”.

Speaking exclusively to the Sun Online, Tom said: “When he made the remark about it being in my head I felt like he was saying he was making it sound like I had a mental impairment.

“I’m telling him I’m frightened of what kind of nation we will be become under him and for him to say it’s an issue that it is in my head doesn’t give me reassurance for him to become Prime Minister.

“It’s not just in people’s heads, it’s a real issue.”

Housing officer Tom, from Rotherham, hit out at Corbyn’s “Marxist nonsense”.

“The history books don’t lie. Soviet Russia, Venezuela, Cuba and Asia have all been decimated because of this,” he said.
“We can’t let that into our country, it will be a nightmare.”

Tom describes himself as “working-class” but has “seen what Labour has done to my area over the years”

“My mum tells me about the power cuts in the 70s and how the country was held to ransom by the unions,” he said.

“We can’t have that again. Our former MP Denis MacShane went to prison for his expenses but that didn’t stop people from voting Labour. To me it feels like our voices are being ignored.”

He also condemned what he claimed was the left-wing bias of the audience saying: “It seemed like no one was represented from the right.

“I wanted to ask Boris Johnson how he would get the country back to old-fashion Conservative values. I wanted to press him on low taxes, small government individual freedoms.”

During the debate, the Labour leader also faced questions about misogynism and anti-Semitism in the Labour Party.

Asked if he would campaign for Remain or Leave, he claimed he was neutral – after dodging the question NINE times during Tuesday night’s debate.

He was met with a roar of laughter as he failed to answer yet again.

“I will adopt, as prime minister, if I am at the time, a neutral stance,” he said.
