The thing that makes me laugh at some, is that they are very quick to weaponise homeless people for political argument but know FA about them or care about them. They are as hypocritical as those Anti-capitalists that wear designer clothes. Muppets the lot of them.

come on strolls it took ages to type all that with one finger
It's everything else that comes with Corbyn that's the problem, that 'Magic Money Tree' solves all our problems till we're bankrupt (based on his last election promises)...
No just my spell check doing it’s usual job.
I don’t have a problem with the French per se (urban persay). I just don’t like the EU organisation.
Yeah well austerity worked well didn't it? A bit of big state tax and spend is overdue if you ask me. Redistribution.
I wouldn't have a problem with Labour if they actually revealed their costings as viable, they told us everything in their manifesto was costed but wouldn't reveal how much, then Corbyn started making an expensive additional promise almost daily throughout the run-up. Hence the 'Magic Money Tree' jibe.
I agree austerity was sh*t and Cameron should have made the banks and bankers pay for it, more proof virtually all politicians are basically c*nts...
How well do you think Diane will do as Home Secretary?
...I think Diane would accomplish that within weeks of taking office, Strolls
Probably fine. She can’t be as thick as the definitely not racist right wing media would have you believe given her education.
I agree this much - that those sleeping on the streets should be offered a roof over their heads during winter. It's not enough to give them shelter over Christmas and then leave them over colder months to come. As Sooper has said, not all would accept, but they should be given the option and the opportunity taken to offer advice on drugs and alcohol treatment, mental health issues, employment prospects - and personal finances.
I heard a call-in chat on LBC recently on food banks. One bloke rang in to say he worked at a food bank. He said that a few who came in were spongers, buy most were genuine. He was honest about the fact that their poor predicament could have been prevented by sound management of their personal finances, but they didn't have the necessary skills. Finance gets ever more complicated. There must be a case for teaching basics at school which would surely lead to more cautious, worldly individuals.
She may be academic, but she's utterly gaff prone and strikes me as lazy (not in control of the police finance figures in that Ferrari interview) and unworldy (complaining about certain skilled police drivers nudging mobile robbing thugs off their mopeds, which has been a huge success in reducing those crimes that the public are utterly sick of )
She could be a reincarnation of Churchill and she’d be portrayed as some sort of pantomime village idiot in our press. I really don’t buy it.
Yes I recall it. It wasn’t great. But I’d rather she was good at the less glamorous elements of the role (she might not be for all I know) than being a good speaker and looking snazzy, which she clearly isn’t. You could be right and she could be both lazy and stupid but if she was that useless she’d be shifted out of her post fairly quickly. I’d still trust Corbyn’s lot over May’s based on what I’ve seen our current government preside over.
Fair enough, that's your perspective. The only person in Corbyn's shadow cabinet who seems to know what he's doing is McDonnell, and personally, I wouldn't trust him. I suspect he will be next Labour leader, perhaps sooner than Jeremy may wish
Hmmm.... Tory MPs taking advantage of brexit?

how the hell a 14m contract be doled out to a shell company with no boats, no trading history and no actual experience.
What an absolute farce, whoever gave this out must have got a juicy back hander (similar to Boris and renting out the olympic stadium to the spammers)
