Comparing Attlee to Corbyn is actually insulting to all Attlee achieved and what a statesman he was.
And they always forget 2 things...
Attlee instigated our nuclear detterent. (Corbyn couldnt make the decision to either cancel Trident or instigate it if we didnt have it)
And secondly... As much as Attlee did revolutionise Social care, health care and our Natinal Parks, perhaps our country may well have been more successful had it invested less in NHS and more in transforming our by now antiquated industry with the cash from Marshall plan. Germany put far less into social welfare, in more of a Tory doctrine way, and in years to come took advantage of their superior position to ourselves.
Perhaps we could now compete with Germany had we not had labour mis spending after the war years?
It's no good blaming Labour for the Conservatives incompetence, there was plenty of money from North sea gas, and they pocketed it.
British Management and the parasitic Shareholder class demanding ever greater profit scuppered any chance of Industrial revival post war, greed and unwillingness to change guaranteed that, as it will scupper Brexit, and is the reason I never believed in Brexit in the first place.
It is Tory ideas that are the ruin of this country , middle class incompetence and an unwillingness to take risks, not the level of investment available.
The damage to this country was not done by Labour Governments, there haven't been any since the Atlee government, but by your "Middle ground" politicians, both New labour and Tory trying to be cautious when courage was required.
Too many Managers, paid huge salaries for failure, shareholders milking the system, and not enough visionaries with ideas that are being invested in, and for that reason we will fail again.
The motivation is profit at any cost, so long as the poor do the paying for the consequences.
And look at the clowns that are running the country.
You would have to believe in miracles to expect post Brexit prosperity.
