I don’t buy the “said something on social media” stories against any side.

Just went down a bit of a twitter wormhole reading about this. Putting aside what she said for a minute this seems to be a tweet from an account deleted several years ago.

Doesn't that raise a question about where its suddenly appeared from? She was what, 21, at the time and not running for council or parliament. Makes me wonder who is keeping these sort of records and why.

Sure you could easily find similar with Conservatives being 'exposed'. Not sure I'm conferrable with that.

Indeed and there have been similar stories already.

My favourite so far has been the Brexit party candidate who had to be let go after it turned out she believed she was an alien.

Precisely zero people jumped on the Rees-Mogg stuff when it was posted up.

Popped on the thread to see what people were saying about it only to find out it’s been dominated all day by the warrior of truth and neutrality banging on about Corbyn and the IRA.

It’ll be from the internet archive or similar. It was dug up by Jewish Chronicle I think. Momentum have similar going against the Tories asking people to do “social media research” on Tory candidates. It’s grubby bollocks on all sides.

Don't get me wrong, this woman sounds unsuitable for politics!
But we've have Rees mogg comments today, the suppression of the Russia investigation yet this woman's comments have caused so much outrage even though one of the men she's spoken of is hated on here.
It's absolute bollocks.

It isn't absolute bollocks. It is highlighting the calibre of those coming through.

Labour candidate says she’ll be happy when someone (who the country almost universally sees as a war criminal and who made the U.K. a “legitimate” target in the eyes of many Muslim extremists) dies

VS

A Tory candidate who says benefit claimants should be put down.

Now, which one should we be most upset about? Mmmm, it’s a tough one. No wait... it isn’t. Definitely the first one. There’s clearly not enough war mongers in the world facilitating recruitment tools for groups of extremists. Fuck those down on their luck, they deserve it. Clearly.

Or we could not scour social media for a misplaced tweet and judge people on what they are saying now. People grow and change in their 20s and people use social media like a chat with mates down the pub.

Moreover I don’t like how we’ve all decided to pretend we don’t know what hyperbole is or that people use it for comedic and rhetorical effect.

Employee share ownership alone is predicted to wipe several billions off company shares thus impacting pension funds and will make companies look to move HQs elsewhere

Literally, will make everything much worse... people need to wake up and realise how bad Commie Corbyn will be

By getting rid of billionaires, does the thick twat not realise that most of them are the ones who own the companies who employ thousands of people

How is he doing that?

How many billionaires are there in this country?

How many will leave, and why?

How much tax are they currently paying, and what effect will Labour's policies have on them?

Why would them leaving the country mean they would stop owning business in this country?

Its common sense, stop trying to be a smart arse

If you get taxed a ridiculous amount more, you'll look to move elsewhere where tax will be less..taxing rich (business owners) more will cause businesses to go bust

the other thing that’s likely to happen is the wealth would move significantly so many funds will completely shift to overseas companies and share values in the FTSE 250 will be mostly impacted

As an example I’ve had strategy discussion and Correspondence from my pension funds that is reassuring investors that mitigation of a Corbyn government is under way

companies have ran scenario models on it and Brexit by many is considered a drop in the ocean to what a Corbyn administration would do

So. Non Doms are going to leave the country in hordes. Good riddance to the tax dodging wankers. They’re going to shift their businesses because of a Labour government ? No they ain’t. People like Dyson are already doing it despite there being a Tory government and Brexit happening just like Dyson wanted. If companies like Starbucks leave the country (which they won’t) because Labour are closing tax loopholes that rob this country then again, good riddance. Some other non Tax dodging coffee house will replace them. The market is too big not too. We’re one of the biggest economies in the world. People want to be here and that isn’t going to change.

Project fear. Don’t fall for it. We’re taking back control. Remember that one.

Whilst I understand the economic impact of the wealthy leaving - wouldn’t their workers voting for a Corbyn government be a wake up call to the conditions some of them are placing their staff under?

I mean it’s effectively saying fuck the 99% of the country.
