General Election

it's not chaos because the mods are deleting posts - Ive already had 2 piccies and I video of Ed Miliband already deleted - apparently if you post anti Labour posts they're deleted

 

Its not a politics forum thats why, they should do the same with all politicians

 

Logic?

 

I think it is more a case of reasoned debate rather than propaganda pics.......if you want them I have literally hundreds of Cameron & Farage ones I can post

 

The mis-informed hysteria like this? http://www.newser.com/story/205786/oklahoma-yes-fracking-causes-earthquakes.html

 

I just wish we (English) could vote SNP.

 

People were murdered in France for the right to publish pictures and the world applauded that right - unfortunately that right has bypassed this forum

 

I don't and neither does the majority of English people.

 

Lets be honest here......nobody in their right minds can suggest Labour is a left wing, socialist or marxist party ..... you no longer get the average Joe standing for parliament (although I believe the Labour one just down the road in Brigg & Goole is a former social worker)

All you can choose these days is the party with the most or least right wing policies....current Labour are probably what would have been the left wing of Thatchers Conservatives, while UKIP are what would have been the far right of that government.

 

took me a while work out what you were on about, but now ROFL. Ballet - along with musicals - are things I really don't like going to see. Mrs OT knows the condition to me accompanying her. She has to go with me to a sporting event of my choice to restore balance to the universe.

 

Go to a politics forum if you want to annoy people

 

Maybe so, but compared to chicken Dave who lied before the last election about no top-down reorganisation of the NHS and Osborne who said he would clear the deficit in five years and then actually increased it, I'm prepared to give the other guys a chance.

 

the thread is called General Election - sorry for confusing it with politics

 

There is work for a lot of them. Can't find the report online now, but there was a study published that "proved" (as much as your can with statistics) immigration was currently a net gain to the economy both through what they spent, and what they pay in taxes.

 

Seriously though, would this thread be up if people were posting pics and videos of Farage, Cameron, and Miliband

 

It's all the top down reorganisations that have caused the current problems....they looked at the top & decided that the NHS should be tall & solid like an oak tree with branches reaching up & out to the sun......the problem was that they forgot that the top of a tree needs a massive root structure to support it until they dug down & cut off many of those roots

 

Last year I did some work for the Greencore group & when talking to some managers I discovered that if it were not for migrant EU workers who were willing to do the repetitive jobs in their factories that many of them would have had to close. They quoted the pickle factory in Selby as a prime example, they had tried the UK born locals, they had even tried the surrounding area by providing transport to/from Selby but they could not recruit......they could not increase wages as profit margins were not very high & their main customers...the supermarkets were constantly putting downward pressure on prices. They now employ a workforce which must be around 70-80% Polish & Eastern European, without those workers we would be importing all the things they produce.

At least this way the Europeans are contributing, spending money in local communities, paying tax & NI & the company is supporting local farmers & UK suppliers of the other ingredients they need. The whole situation is not as black & white as it sometimes appears
