    Did you run that tweet past Toby to see if he approved of it before posting it?

    I just assumed it'd go past him as it went over his head, like most posts seem to do. :emoticon-0100-smile

    You don't seem to mind posting things that are nonsense, though.
    You said that state aid was capitalism.

    No I didn't peter. I said that companies moving to save money/maximise profits is capitalism.

    Why are the UK arguing with the EU about state aid rules? Are the Tories socialists now?

    I've given you proof before but you just glide past it. Charging whitey £40 to a seminar and everyone else in free probably encompass all that Labour have been this last decade. There are hundreds of examples of such obvious racist ****e that could only be dreamed up by someone who is 1. A racist. 2. Middle class.

    What do you think white factory workers and care home staff think when the see Labour party reps banging on about white privilege etc?

    I'll tell you what they think, they think I'll vote Tory next time out.

    So you are saying that state aid is not capitalism?

    Exclusive: Green light for Oxford coronavirus vaccine before new year (telegraph.co.uk)

    The Oxford vaccine is expected to be approved within days of Christmas, kickstarting a massive drive to give jabs to millions of people in January.

    Senior Whitehall sources believe the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will authorise the vaccines on December 28 or 29 after final data is provided to the regulator on Monday.

    Football stadia and other sites across the country will then be opened from the first week of January, to allow mass vaccinations on a scale never seen before in the UK.

    However, the progress comes amid growing fears that England is about to enter a third lockdown, with the Prime Minister recently refusing to rule out following Wales and Northern Ireland in such a course of action.

    Last week the NHS began the first Covid-19 vaccination programme in the world, with jabs given to around 140,000 elderly people and health and care workers in the first seven days. This week the rollout has expanded far more widely, with around 400 GP centres now involved, as well as 83 hospitals. Over the weekend, the total number of Britons who have received the jab is expected to pass the 500,000 mark.

    By next week, more than 200,000 people a day should be receiving jabs, equating to well over one million doses a week by Christmas.

    Once the Oxford jab gets the green light, the opening of mass vaccination centres will mean this can be increased to several million doses a week, Whitehall sources say.

    It means Britain is on course to vaccinate the 20 million most vulnerable people by March, allowing far greater release of restrictions, with the prospect the whole country could be vaccinated by summer.

    State aid is designed to create/save jobs, jobs are saved to keep the wheels of capitalism oiled.

    It really doesn't mate, look at the election results. Working class people don't want to hear about any of this ****e while trying to find that £80 to make up their rent every month.

    This isn't a criticism, it's just a fact. You have absolutely no idea what it is like to be working class/poor with no future in sight.

    I don't come from a rich background, I worked to get where I am now. The house I grew up in cost £5k ffs <laugh>

    These people are in their situation because of the Tories. Nothing else. If they're ******ed enough to vote against their own wellbeing then they deserve all the pain and suffering they get. This is typical right-wing mentality, try to make the lives of those underneath you worse to make you feel better about yourself, instead of working as a team to improve things for all.

    Just checked out of curiosity, 2 years ago Labour charged £10 less to BAME people to attend their conference as they wanted to increase the diversity of the audience.

    OMG HOW AWFUL?!?!?!

    It's perfectly reasonable for Labour to break the law and implement a pricing policy that discriminates on racial grounds, and leaves a pensioner having to pay more than a Company Director. It shows they understand and support the working class, obviously.

    Doubt the working class would be forking out £40 to attend a conference in the first place tbh.

    It's okay, pricing the working class out of the Labour conference shows that they are totally in touch with their grass root support. <ok>

    Do you think conference make a difference to the lives of the poorest? It's a fundraiser, with the aim of raising money for the Labour party.

    Do you think the Tories are helping the working class/poorest members of society?
