Agree.
I'm sorry the lift is out of order, due to severe but necessary austerity measures introduced
Why do you think the mining industry would have died, we import it from a Russian billionaire
Was going to post the same. Personally I don't see why they need to know them off the top of their head but if Abbott or Corbyn not knowing them is a huge issue then it should be as big, if not bigger, issue when the chancellor and MPs from the current government don't know them.
Your independent candidate is enjoying himself
I met him. He was campaigning outside Tesco at Jubilee Crescent. Seemed quite decent and I said I would consider him.Your independent candidate is enjoying himself
General Election candidate's leaflets pulled after complaints
He's another one that shows how the system doesn't really work, as do you vote for him because you approve of the national manifesto, or vote for someone else who might actually give a damn about their constituents...
Do it Otis, you know it makes sense :emoji_relaxed:
Never read it, there's no need, it's there for all to see 'you just have to open your eyes :emoji_nerd:
So you believe only those at the top should get the money and those they employ to make money for them should be so poorly paid they need benefits to survive?
Perspective...Diana Abbott would likely be the first victim in forming a cabinet. And she is only one individual in the shadow cabinet. I do however think that she is a major factor in many people's minds. Uninspiring, incoherent & even unfathomable at times...she is a liability.
Jezza said only 5 days ago she was his Home Secretary.
Same kind of arguments & approach that the 'Remain' campaign used. And they lost the vote. All things considered a negative fight meant they got a bloody nose...which I wonder whether that was engineered in some way. And now a Tory defeat is being scheduled so that Labour can shoulder all the blame for any shitty outcomes from Brexit, NHS & National security over the next Parliament at least - because they really don't know the answers themselves!
Thatcher's legacy or not...the fact is 'inward investment' requires overseas money. They want a return. So businesses needed to increase profitability. They do that via cheaper labour costs...which they imported...they call it globalisation & social mobility. Trouble is that the appalling acts we have seen recently (& before that) are perhaps a function of globalisation itself.
Yes this is a big dilemma - very unlikely to actually win and if by some miracle they did, who would they side with when it comes to parliamentary votes?
For the amount of shit you give young people for their ill thought out choices you don't half sound like an AS level politics student at best.
Anthony wedgewood Benn, a true parliamentarian a man who renounced his title and tirelessly
Imagine how bad it would be if the leader of a party refused to go on Womens Hour :banghead:
Social mobility isn't travelling to work ffs haha

The winter of discontent was a result of the Labour Party capping wage increases at 5% that
Had been contractually agreed with trade unions, a failed ploy to curb spiralling inflation.
By the way when you say lazy privilege demanding workforce left over from their previous
Administration. Do you mean the administration that lasted 6 months, or the Conservative
Administration from the previous 4 years ?
(LAZY, PRIVILEGE DEMANDING WORKFORCE? Or are we on about the chattering classes that invest in businesses demanding massive returns to finance their privileged lifestyle?)
The constant misrepresentation of Coryin as a terrorist sympathiser is a shameful example of
The media & press biased that you seem to think doesn't exist, come on Grendel 'you're an
Intelligent guy, you're not seriously saying it doesn't exist are you.
(ALL of it stinks...he just has a more mature approach than the gung-ho Victorian & earlier one of marching in & shooting them!)
Thatcher took office in 79 and set about a course to break the working class, in 82 / 83the country
Was almost bankrupt after fighting a war 8000 miles away to protect a windswept rock.
At this point she received the biggest slice of luck afforded to any PM in history, the realisation of
North Sea oil & gas reserves, sweeping tax cuts all round and an increased majority at the ballot
Box. Privatisation quickly followed by the obligatory mass unemployment that goes with it, and the
Reason the only way the treasury has to raise money now is through tax, but they hide it.
The wealthy now pay less tax than ever, where as the low and middle income earners have never
Paid more, you may think it's fair.
(ONLY as a proportion of their income...because they have less disposable income but have to spend proportionally a huge amount more of their income. Any country where VAT is involved has the same outcome)
In reality - it is upping sticks & moving to wherever there is work
I get what you're saying on VAT, but even though our VAT is high by any standards
