Off Topic General Election Special

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Anyone believing any extra tax will be only paid by the top 5% and corporations is in for a rude awakening if Labour get in.

Only somebody who reads the rags & not Manifestos would spout such rubbish.

 

[Barchullona]

If you vote Tory, Boris will be PM.

It will be a tie and my vote will be the deciding one? Wow, what a feeling of power. Yet such an awesome responsibility...

 

[Mr Hatem]

Try not to let Fairy Tails get in the way of the truth

Do fairies have tails?

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Here’s another.


“Chavez showed us that there is a different and a better way of doing. It’s called socialism, it’s called social justice and it’s something that Venezuela has made a big step towards.”

Must be why all those people are flocking there from all over South America instead of trying to get into the .USA.

Daily Mail or Express?

 

[Barchullona]

Only somebody who reads the rags & not Manifestos would spout such rubbish.

Believe what rubbish? McDonnell when he said so?

 

[highpeak tiger]

I don't believe a single word spouted by any politician. Those who wish to rule are patently unfit to do so. I shall vote for who I think will do the less damage

Do you have a video link?

 

[Barchullona]

Daily Mail or Express?

Corbyn said that. How naughty of anyone to report it. Though it was quoted in the Guardian.

 

[Mr Hatem]

Corbyn said that. How naughty of anyone to report it. Though it was quoted in the Guardian.

I didn't have you down as a Guardian reader.

 

[Barchullona]

Do you have a video link?

Do you have a video link to him saying differently? Were the Guardian lying when they quoted him?

 

[Sir Cheshire Ben]

Corbyn said that. How naughty of anyone to report it. Though it was quoted in the Guardian.

I was referring to the flocking from all over SA bit.

Oil is why people have a problem with Venezuela. The US haven’t got their hands on it.

 

[Barchullona]

I didn't have you down as a Guardian reader.

I read a wide range of things. You want to try it.

 

[Mr Hatem]

I read a wide range of things. You want to try it.

I don't just read about things, I go and do things.

 

[TheCasual]

So spending plans?
All agree austerity is over so its a choice between sensible Conservative spending and investment and the reckless over spending and debt of Labour?

Labour spending plans would take us to just below levels of public spending of mainland Europe.

The policies Labour are advocating are pretty mainstream in Scandinavia, Germany, and Canada.

 

[City Man]

Just Google "Michelle Dewberry Outsourcing".

She was open about it on The Apprentice and afterwards.

Helping businesses outsource parts of it abroad = British jobs going.

Difficult to get a handle on the scale of her business, what was/is involved (number of companies advised, number of jobs shed etc)

Hopefully those leaner businesses could then grow and employ people more people needed to do so.

She seems a decent lass reading her wikipedia page, and whenever she is on telly speaks common sense neither talking down nor up to people.

Also seems gifted with a rare determination which means once she gets her teeth into summat she won't let go.

Also seen her more at City this season than our 3 incumbent MPs, which for me is the clincher.

I was referring to the flocking from all over SA bit.

You are doubting more people from SA are trying to get into the US than Venezuela? Venezuela is the country which has seen millions leaving.

JM said

“Anyone believing any extra tax will be only paid by the top 5% and corporations is in for a rude awakening if Labour get in.”

Wonderful.

 

[Chazz Rheinhold]

I think he is a buffoon. Though in comparison to Corbyn he is an intellectual collosus.

So what is it you like in their policies that makes you want to vote for them? genuinely interested.

 

[City Man]

I'm no fan of New Labour but it was down to a global financial crash.

Osborne even admitted this.

Maybe it was how they handled the crash?

Not a great track record ref. the gold reserves sell off fiasco

 

[Steven Toast]

Are their mobiles, satellite TV, broadband in their houses? Do their parents smoke or drink?

No. Both kids live with their grandparents, who don't work themselves because they're retired. They've literally got nothing.

I'm sure you'd have loved me to say "yes, so what?", but sadly it isn't the case. It's also not a unique case.
