They manage the economy better than anyone else. Every Labour government has left office with unemployment higher than when they came in. I thought Corbyns manifesto launch was very good, also his speech to the CBI. I think he is a very genuine bloke and believes what he says but the bottom line is that promising he can achieve all that just by hitting the richest 5% is bollocks. Even the IFS say so. I find the return to secondary picketing and taking 10% of the value off every company with 250 plus employees terrifying. We will be back to the 70’s of wealth creators moving offshore, crippling strikes hitting every sector and eventually the continued trend of no money left and more unemployment. Personally I long for a return to sensible centrist policies and living within our means. We should be welcoming in a landslide centre left government but it looks like we are heading for another deathly hung parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Tory government, if it leaves office, will be departing with a higher national debt than we've ever had, doubling what it was dealing with when it took over. They're morons man, you know they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say Brexit might reduce the amount of growth, but Labours manifesto, sadly will bankrupt the country. If Labour put that manifesto forward but added that all of us would have to pay a bit more to achieve it ( as happens in Europe), then it would get a landslide. That would be honest and achievable.

ewerk 30266 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 You got any evidence that it’ll bankrupt us? As far as European countries go it’ll put us firmly in the middle of the pack regarding taxation and spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The country is £1.5tn in debt. Out of interest, where do you think the extra £700bn that the Tories have racked national debt up by since coming into power has actually gone? Since we're living under austerity etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they’ve done that over many years and on the back of higher taxation for everyone as detailed by the IFS yesterday. You know it’s a cheap con. You can have all this but only the top 5% will pay. Sadly that’s the way politics is. If they’d said everyone has to pay for this better standard of living, they would get nowhere.

Rayvin 5183 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm not convinced that there's an overwhelming demand for a return to centrism based on what we're seeing, it has to be said. I think we're in "pick a side" territory. CT has chosen the racist millionaires for some reason but there we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5183 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Tories have decided they've won tonight's TV thing. Apparently the thing they wanted most was for Corbyn to say something unequivocal on Brexit. Now they can stitch him up as they planned to no matter what he said, apparently.

Monkeys Fist 42066 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Why do you think he’s fucked off? What a fucking weapons-grade cunt. Of all the heinous twats the Tories have had in charge recently, Johnson is the one who will give CT the most trouser action. You can guarantee that if/when they get back in, Boldon Humpty will be back, briefly, thinking it’s all a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
