[nationalize the fed]

Feb 27, 2016: In what’s being hailed as Britain’s biggest anti-nuclear weapons rally in a generation, tens of thousands demonstrated on London’s streets Saturday to protest the U.K.’s Trident nuclear weapons system and to call for global nuclear disarmament.

“We are not alone,” Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of Britain’s Labour Party, told the crowd in central London today. “There are many people around the world ... who have wanted a non-nuclear future for their country and their planet.” From the U.K’‘s Channel 4 News

He was joined by Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who denounced Trident as “immoral” and “impractical,” while Corbyn said he believed in a “nuclear-free Britain and a nuclear-free future”.

Jeremy Corbyn over there in the United Kingdom is a lifelong democratic socialist. He is speaking out at and leading a rally against nuclear weapons in London and doing so as the designated leader of the Labour Party. When he isn't railing against nukes, he likes to criticize British and American entanglements in the Middle East and the actions of the State of Israel. He has been doing this kind of thing for as long as he has been in politics and somehow or other he has clawed his socialistic way up to become the nominal leader of the number two political party in the United Kingdom.

Bernie Sanders over here in the United States of America is also a lifelong democratic socialist—although there are a few socialists who might possibly take issue with his self proclaimed status as such. He is running for President of the United States of America and leaning on his leftist credentials to attract the support of liberals and lefter-than-liberals who are fed up with centrism. Not only are we not about to find him addressing an anti-nuke rally in Washington D.C. or anywhere else, he is an on-the-record supporter of the very things that his soul brother over on the other side of the pond is speaking out against.

Is someone confused here beside myself?
