Off Topic General Election Special

[City Man]

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

For who?

 

[Edelman]

For who?

?

 

[AlRawdah]

That's an ideal, not a policy.

Nationalising companies is a ridiculous idea, it there one thing history should have taught us, it's that government are ****ing useless at runnng large organisations and monopolies are a great way to guarantee poor service.

Yeah the German and French railways are a scandal aren't they.

 

[Party Hull!]

Which part?

Those mad old men on QT with bulging eyes and a hard on for nuclear holocaust.

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Sat cosying up to the IRA?

He met with people off both sides & was instrumental in bringing about the peace process.

I'm voting for Diana Johnson. She used to live a few doors down from me until a couple of years ago. She's a really nice lass and she talks Ull. She wote, she cart and she crosses the rerd.

Not bad for a lass from Northwich.

Is she a red and white, or a black and white?

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Sadly his pro IRA and anti British stance over decades is well documented, so precludes him from being worthy of public office.
He voted against the peace process and Anglo Irish Agreement in the 80s and 90s. He also attended pro IRA terrorist commemorations from 1986 and 1992. His appointed Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell opposed the Peace Process as late as 1998, and said 'thanks to the bravery of the IRA and people like Bobby Sands, we now have a peace process.'
That's the IRA who bombed, shot and beat to death 1,696 men, women and children, and who failed to unite Ireland.

Bullshit

It's sad to think of all the young people out there who will see this election as their last chance of a further education.

If you want to vote for Theresa May to lead us into Brexit you'd best think again. The Tories will chuck her the canal and elect a new leader before Halloween.

I think May is showing everybody how NOT to run a campaign. She's done more to help Labour than Labour themselves.

 

[Edelman]

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

There's also no appetite in Argentina for the Falklands.

I didn't see it that way personally. I though the guy made a valid point to which Corbyn's looked distinctly sheepish, coy and uncomfortable. You see, once you've admitted that your a pacifist , its very difficult to change, even when, god-forbid, someone is lobbing ICBM's in our direction.

this is true.
I was to.d recently that hull uni nursing degree is 70% down on applications due to the cost involved.
We'll be importing more nurses from around the world again

[Kempton]

Not bad for a lass from Northwich.

Is she a red and white, or a black and white?

She's from Northwich? Dint know that? She certainly talks with a Hull accent. Club affiliations? Dunno mate.

Did you see The islanders vote result?

Great!
So why would Corbyn want to give them joint sovereignty against the wishes of 99.8% of Falklanders?

How mad is he?!?!?

 

[The B&S Fanclub]

You sure about that.

The new leader in BA is a big mate of Trump's (see WH videos of their recent meeting) If he gets Trump on side and Trump pressures Corbyn. Its gone, believe me.

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.

I'm not against it, but its whether the nations small business can afford to pay it. A lot struggled with the recent big increases.
On the flip side I am involved in supplying industrial parts to a wide range of manuacturing industries, pharma, food, etc, and generally the largest companies in the UK involved in food production for UK supermarkets scrapped overtime and unsocial hours at the last large minimum wage rise to remain competitive, as the UK supermarkets would not accept increases to their costs (given their pressures from Aldi Lidl and the likes). Some simply reduced the number of workers per line proportionally to balance the two.
I know this is off on a tangent, but the delight we all take in getting our shopping as cheap as possible is a key factor in the erosion of wages for the poorest in our economy, and partially responsible for the flood of migrant workers willing to do the job cheaper or longer or overnight or on a bank holiday.
I know of a factory in Hull where complaints and trouble kicked off because the factory was not open on Christmas day and the agency workers wanted to work.

 

[Carmine Galante.]

These threads are ****e.

Proper boring ****s telling other boring ****s how they have got it wrong.

Close it now.
