You're taking utter drivelWell, both your responses were quite expected.
The BBC has become left wing, not by much, but it is. Certainly in current affairs.
It is still the most balanced media source out there, but it isn't in the middle anymore.
Its anti-brexit drive was a slip of the mask.
They must be working on the basis that with so much of the press on their side they can put all this out without people noticing. How much of the electorate actually reads the manifestos and knows what the parties polices are? The majority will be going off what they are told in the press which is massively skewed:the tories have forgotten their mantra - leave them with just enough to keep them happy. They're now trying to take everything, their manifesto proves that. Fuel allowance, school meals, bereavement allowance. Even elephants tusks for fucks sake!

It's stupid comments like that which get people wound upI really don't understand why so many people get worked up over politics.
Whether Labour or Conservatives win, it doesn't matter. It will still follow the cycle of the rich getting richer, and the rich keeping the people making them rich in power.
I always chuckle at the "We will raise the minimum wage to £X" line, regardless of which party says it.

From what I've heard you say WSB you live in North Somerset. Your MP there is the cretinous Liam Fox who allowed classified information to get into the hands of his pals with no security clearance. Billy Smart indeed.I will vote Conservative,Can't have Billy Smart and his clowns anywhere near number 10.
May is taking a huge electoral risk with those social care provisions, they are bound to lose her seats she could have won. However social care is a huge cost and can't be financed as it is. I don't think Labour have any concrete policy on this, they just say they'll reintegrate social care with the NHS, repeal the Health and Social Care Act and 'properly' fund the NHS.
If you rent or are in social housing and virtually no savings you'll pay nothing, its only people owning houses that will pay. As it stands you can pay if you live a long time but you may.
In my own experience I had one Aunt who lived into her 90's spending 4 years in a home who left very little and another Aunt who lived to a similar age but ended up spending her last 2 years in the NHS system after breaking her hip, she was never well enough to go home but bounced between hospital and several care facilities, the value of her house remained in her estate but had to be sold in case care costs were needed. So it is a bit of a lottery even now.
So what happens, will insurance schemes spring up or will home owners gift their homes to their offspring provided they can live there till they die (gifts are not liable for tax if the gift giver survives another 7 years) . There will be avoidance schemes for sure but in the end I feel sure some sort of compromise will emerge though there won't be any back tracking till after the election.
I think Corbyn is a decent guy just don't agree with his politics,It's the clowns around him i despise!!From what I've heard you say WSB you live in North Somerset.

Abbott is his weak link. It's a shame they couldn't have found a way to all work together, in the PLP, and I suspect Abbott may not have had quite such a high profile.It's the clowns around him i despise!!
Boris Johnson thinks it's in the conservative manifesto to give the NHS an extra £350m a week.
Conservatives are the safe option yeah? Laughable that the foreign secretary doesn't even know what's in the manifesto.
I'd love to vote labour,But cannot do it as i hate left wing politics!!Abbott is his weak link. It's a shame they couldn't have found a way to all work together, in the PLP, and I suspect Abbott may not have had quite such a high profile.
If Labour lose, it won't just be Corbyn's fault...

Oh and btw Dr Liam Fox is not my MP!!
there is no bigger clown in British politics than Boris.
Couple that with the fact he is also a committed careerist who will be leading brexit negotiations and that also makes
him very dangerous.
it's not quite a simple as gifting a house. They can chase after the assets of a house given as a gift to pay for costs of care well after the house has been given as a gift.
I'm not against the insurance scheme but it needs more meat on the bones and some rules put in place. I believe what the tories are proposing is totally unregulated.
Yes, up to 7 years. I said that.. I also said it was my opinion that the final policy will be modified after feedback from interested parties, it is still too much of a lottery as is but then so is the policy in force today.
Do you think the policy currently in force is Scotland is fairer? Treatment of your home | Care Information Scotland
I think you're wrong about 7 years. Maybe a test case but I heard recently that they are going after someone who was gifted a house a lot longer than 7 years previously.
I was told this by an in law who in currently involved in quite a dispute over a house they were left and has been doing a fair bit of research.
Isn't the Scottish policy very similar to what happens in England now?
there are also tax issues relating to jointly owned houses, it's a real minefield.Well I can see loopholes like that being closed or paying becomes too easy to dodge. Not sure what will happen about equity release schemes.
The bloke who tweeted this is a left leaning academic..
Don't expect me to justify what a Tory policy group puts out. I am merely a messenger here.but the tories haven't capped state elderly care? What year did they commit to cap it buy.

I don't know. The Ba'ath party seem pretty good. People say they're quite right wing but I honk they're only slightly eight of centre.I'm noticing a current obsession with Labour, with a lot of people banging on about how good and faultless they are.
I'm not saying the Tories are any better, but I really don't understand how anyone can proudly support any of the parties in this upcoming election with some much blind enthusiasm. They are all massively flawed.
It's quite embarrassing.
When pretty much the only thing you've said through the whole campaign is strong and stable might be an idea to at least try and look vaguely strong and stable at least until after the election."Strong and stable" my arse
I think it was the Channel 4 journalist he said "Weak and feeble more like" when he asked his question.When pretty much the only thing you've said through the whole campaign is strong and stable might be an idea to at least try and look vaguely strong and stable at least until after the election.
Didn't take long. Pretty much the opposite of strong and stable. And she's going to be negotiating our exit from the EU.
