Off Topic General Election Special

It's not fully costed, it's an overly simplistic multiplication which ignores multiple crucial factors. The totally independent, unbiased IFS report will give you the truth of those 'costings'.

Corporation tax won't hurt the corporations who conveniently have off shore holding companies to which they all owe gigantic 'debts'. It will seriously hurt small businesses attempting to compete with the big corporate tax dodgers, and the 6% rise in tax will be passed straight onto customers and employees by both, hurting us all.

 

Corbyn's far too dodgy on defence...and I'm not taking about the fence at the bottom of the garden...
End of........

 

Like the last time Labour were in......after four years a note with "Sorry there is no money left".....its a question of trust. A lot of it is also based no impact of a huge increase in corporation tax that could potentially stop companies investing, coupled with a rise in the living wage to £10 an hour. Business would take too big a hit too quickly, and I doubt the tax rake they want would be achievable.

 

We'll soon be seeing the Argentine flag over the Falklands. Despite 99.8% of islanders wanting to remain British, Corbers wants joint sovereignty.

 

Corbyn and Abbott were both glad handing McGuinness and Adams back in the day...Perhaps Jeremey should invite the leader of IS for a cup of tea, a piece of cake and a chat..

The mans a ****ing idiot....End of..

 

Sinn Fein were just the mouth piece of the IRA. By talking to them the Tories knew they were talking to the IRA and guess what talking succeeded where years of violence failed.

 

£25,000 is a good wage for Hull, but for those of us living in the south east or London its pretty poor. That's the trouble with national pay rates, the cost of living geographically can be quite stark.

McGuinness got fairly glowing obituaries more or less across the board from politicians, I bet very few were keen but knew the stakes.

It's called diplomacy.

 

Or hypocrisy.
Or appeasement.

 

It was more the idea of people under the higher rate of income tax paying an extra 3% than they do now. Where that "middle" threshold between standard and higher tax rate should sit of course is open to debate. Just my feeling that if people want better funded services they are going to have to pay for them, and there is a relatively well off group of people under the higher rate of tax that could afford to pay more.

Yeah fair comment..The govt were talking.... Corbyn was praising...There is a distinct difference.
Corbyn got mauled by the bloke the other night..We're getting thumped by a foreign power, Corbyn won't retaliate. He wants to talk, while the rest of us are getting blown away...He's even against shot to kill...at a time when there is virtually a war on our streets.
How anyone would even consider him for PM is behond me, but there you go....Each to their own...

 

Even if he promises to crack out the trifle on election?

Dirty bastard.

 

Regardless of policy and ideology, the current Labour front bench are incompetent, inexperienced and untrustworthy. Diane Abbott is one obvious example, but the rest are not much better.

Corbyn spent his political life in the comfort of the backbenches, voting against his own party, showing himself to be unhelpful, disloyal and obstructive. How useful will someone like that be in trying to run a country?
He appeals in the main to the young , trying to buy their votes through promises about tuition fees.
A race to the bottom, with bigger and bigger bribes to the untapped voting market of young people.

 

I think many people saw it very differently to that.

 

Any women in his cabinet have to have a portion to get in.

 

The living wage (the actual one) is calculated based on the cost of actually living a reasonable safe life. How can anyone be against people earning that? It's literally just an anti-poverty measure.

 

Unbelievable this thread runs on when the Manchester thread was closed for next to **** all.

 

Which part?

 

Joint sovereignty was discussed for years prior to the Falklands war but always stalled.
It might not be a bad thing if handled properly.
