General Election 2015

[Herr Tubthumper]

do you have difficulty with concepts existing outside your own point of view?

No need to be facetious. You were struggling with the difference between software and wifi the other day, just wanted to know if you had figured it out yet.

Remember, it was Labour which introduced the minimum wage. And Ed has said he will look into energy bills.

Oh, well if Ed said it...

 

[peterward]

We need to get these nasty Tories out. But what is the alternative....it will be more of the same but in a different political colour.

if youre living the life of riley, throwing borrowed money around, maxing out your credit cards and taken loans to repay them....when your bank manager comes along, and tells you, the carefree spending party has to stop as you dont and never had the means, you have stop spending money you don't earn, cut back to live within your income means and repay your debts.... is he just being nasty? or maybe the sensible counterbalance to your own recklessness?

A country that spent more on interest repayments than it does on educating its children is NICER to you maybe?

i'm being facetious? i was here for the politics, why dont you address a point about wifi in the thread from 2 weeks ago?

you have any view on the core differences between Liberals and Labour that make a coalition difficult?

 

[beorhthelm]

Are the Labour party going to make things easier for people by lowering everyone's bills, I think not. It will still be the same.

it will be very interesting to see how Miliband goes about reversing the policies that he introduced that have directly contributed to the high fuel bills.

I presume you mean why do ? Anyway, I was just making polite conversation. There is no need to get your knickers in a twist.

?? Which are these?

Remember, it was Labour which introduced the minimum wage. And Ed has said he will look into energy bills.

Ed said he will "freeze energy prices if elected" not that he will look into it..... and this ridiculous statement means that today, with wholesale energy prices down 34%, the energy providers will not pass on those savings to you or me by dropping their prices, because their prices will be frozen by Ed....theyre going to keep them artificially high. GENIUS

Ed Miliband's Agenda Branded 'Pathetic, Bland And Catastrophic' By Labour Grassroots

Were you around in the '80's at all? Just wondering...

no, i meant why not go back to that thread to address where i'm wrong, as you didn't do at the time.

 

[Beach Hut]

Didn't Bliar tax the energy companies with a one-off hit which clearly made no difference at all ?

If your house is falling down due to decades of neglect you may well want to max out your credit card to repair it.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Because you have not answered my question from earlier. If you say "hey, yes, I'm still struggling" then I will search for the thread and help you out. I'm here to help.

Of note, increasing our target emissions reductions, and effectivly blocking any future cheap coal fired power by imposing a unrealistic emission target. many want lower emissions, but these polices drive us to expensive delivery without looking at alternatives.

FFS. Do you not think the policy will cover this? Do you not think his staff might know prices can go up as well as down?

You said directly affecting. This is tenuous reasoning at best.

True Labour did bring in the minimum wage, I forgot about that one.

 

[beorhthelm]

so you dont think a policy that requires new power comes from sources costing two-to-four times as much as old, isnt directly affecting the price of energy?

 

[Deleted member 22389]

We all need about £10 per hour minimum wage, we need £70.00 a month wiping off our council tax bills, we need our energy bills reduced by about £25.00 - £30.00 per month. The governments need to stop paying out for silly things and put that money back in to important things. Just like this government, he wouldn't do any of this, they can't afford it.

People talking about raising the minimum wage; Watch as the number of unemployed soars.
