Where in there does he "promise to wipe out £100 billion in student debt"?

http://www.nme.com/news/jeremy-corbyn-w ... bt-2082478

You can search for others if you wish, or you can play the age-old Game of Semantics and reply with the "ah yeah but he doesn't actually say...etc etc".
He made it clear enough (especially prior to the election) that this was his intention; clear enough that students and post graduates were suckered in enough to vote Labour thinking that their debts would be wiped.

Your link doesn't work.
To help you to keep up I'll post the link to the original NME interview on which you and sob base your fantasies:
http://www.nme.com/news/jeremy-corbyn-w ... bt-2082478" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

In which he says:
"Yes there is a block of those that currently have a massive debt, and I'm looking at ways that we could reduce that,
ameliorate that, lengthen the period of paying it off, or some other means of reducing the debt burden".

How do you interpret that as promising to wipe out £100 million of student debt?

I don't know why you keep saying "sob", but pleased to see you didn't disappoint with the "ah yeah but-ery"

So, to turn it around, are you denying Corbyn ever said it, intimated it, printed it, promised it or otherwise meant it?

What I do know is what actually happened and the Tories got involved in a mucky deal with a bunch of bigoted throwbacks to the 17th century for cash.
Bigoted throwbacks to the 17th century? Please explain.

Google their policies, their religious connections, their connections to terrorism, their attitudes to women, minorities, same-sex relationships, it's all there if you want to expand your horizons slightly.

Why do you think Enoch Powell moved there when the Tory party kicked him out, who became his campaign manager and what is that campaign manager doing now? Open your mind a little.

Typical left-wing hysteria. The DUP is the largest democratic political party in Northern Ireland now having won the largest number of seats and votes. They are staunch defenders of the United Kingdom and of core traditional British values. The Left screams about them being "extreme" because of their devout commitment to the Union and their social conservatism. Whatever position you may hold on abortion or gay marriage for example, you should remember that these issues cut across party lines and are always subject to free votes in the UK Parliament.

It's not hysteria of any kind left or right, it's all documented fact and none of it denied by the DUP. Whether it floats your particular boat is entirely your decision but it does give us a good idea of the kind of person you are and whether we should take your opinions seriously.

You are making some big assumptions about the people of Northern Ireland. So you would prefer Corbyn to be running the country propped up by his Sinn Fein/IRA pals?

sob is short for sierraoscarbravo, like tbt is short for true blue terrier.

And yes Corbyn has never said he promised to write off £100 bn of student debt.
It was not in the Labour Election Manifesto, and it he did not say that in the NME interview.

So IF he never said it then it must be yet another example of fake news spread to boost labour voting totals.

Labour...can they sink any lower in the morality scale?

I know you don't deal with reality, but the Sinn Fein elected MPs don't take their seats in the Westminster UK Parliament.
