I actually remember asking my RE teacher if he thought Jesus was a Socialist - I was 10 and he didn't - lol looking through my old posts just now with the search "tories" was interesting I was reminded of a post I made about Kinnocks famous 1983 - "I warn you." speech, wow what an amazing speech that was I also started a thread, way back in 2009 entitled "Tories first policy statement" it was obviously to hammer those on benefits and the disabled just the other day Dominic Rabb explained Food banks away with the observation it was simply a "cash flow issue", and that was after May said the reason they exist are "complicated" plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose but by and large the people get the government they deserve all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds after all |

as the FT article so dramatically points out in excruciating detail - the EU knows it is bullsh1t too His whole argument seems to be predicated on us being able to make up for lost trade with the EU by striking great trade deals elsewhere. So he accepts that we're going to end up with a worse trade position with the EU, yet has absolutely no coherent proposition for HOW EXACTLY we are going to do all these great trade deals. That idiot is going to get murdered in these negotiations. It's just political dogma, nothing to do with economics |

Corbyn, imperfect as the rest of us, will prove and has proven to be on the right side of history on most key issues. He cares about people and, as far as I can tell, places their wellbeing above that of big business. The same cannot be said, with any degree of credibility, about his opposite number. |
The way its going looks like Theresa May will gloriously manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.... from a 21 point lead to a 3 point lead.... hung parliament?, coalition?
This could go down in history as the greatest campaign fcuk up ever...... Not helped by 'Anything you want, It's all Free' Corbyn and automatic social media bots trotting out endless Pro-Labour soundbites and false reporting.... technology is having a massive effect on the campaigns at the moment... |

Corbyn doesn't claim anything to be free, he endorses redistribution of wealth and so do I.

'For the many, not the few' might sound like a throwaway statement, but actually it's a principle I can support.
The problem is people tend to want other peoples 'wealth' redistributed not their own! |

Indeed, however we shouldn't just keep expecting the same group of people to keep paying more and more tax. Broadly if you're earning £80k a year, then you're already paying an eye watering amount of tax. If people are concerned about the state of their public services then they should be prepared to pay more themselves, not just expect someone else to pay for it on their behalf. That way everyone has a stake in it, and you never know, people might then challenge how the money is spent, not just how much is spent? |

Remember that one day you might have dementia and then your childrens inheritance will be going to the conservative government and indeed your parents inheritance to you and that through your working life and your parents and grandparents have already paid taxes for care,nhs etc.

You do realise this policy has already been in place for the best part of 7 years in its current form. If your local care authority deam you unfit and need to be in a care home, they have the powers to review you finances, including assets (that includes your house) and if it's above £23k they will use that to fund your care home fees. This is now. And has been like this for quite some time. Only until you drop down to £14K in funds will you get totally free care. The £14k is basically there to pay for your funeral, not for your kids! I find it strange the media have jumped on this now as it's pretty old news; if you have a house and go into care... If can be sold by the LCA to fund your care. There were/are loop holes to avoid this, which most savvy people exploit; Rightly or wrongly. |
I thought the choice at the last election was pretty shoddy, but this election OMG!!
Listening to May and Corbyn tonight makes me feel pretty desperate. There is absolutely no substance to May or anything she says. 'Strong and stable'? Really? When is she going to tell us what she actually thinks, rather than a load of worn out sound bites? She's hopeless! And Corbyn is a disaster waiting to happen. He doesn't even appear to really like this country. How the hell did it come to this? |

Should have put the house in their kids name at the same time instead of thinking they were going to live forever... mind you both made it to early nineties, which was their un-doing really... lifetime of hard work, saving and being sensible poured at an alarming rate into nursing home coffers. My motto spend the lot and fhuk em all. :lol1: |
