[Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

[keaton]

Where to? It's not just this country that's a bit of a mess. Can you name one country that would be a good place to live right now?

If your want shit healthcare and racism a lot of Eastern Europe should be good for you

 

[goldstone]

as i usually vote lib dem, i'm interested to know why you wouldn't vote labour?

I associate Labour with Arthur Scargill and his bunch of idiots and always will. Not my kind of people. And then there was Tony Blair who tried to update their image and what did he do? Take us into an illegal and disasterous war against the will of the people.

Did I say I wanted shit healthcare? I've already got that.

3. Dismantle the NHS and find an alternative.

If this is a policy, I reckon it might be safer to do it the other way around.

 

[Silverhatch]

Capital is international. At the risk of getting an ice pick to make my ears burn, socialism, even democratic socialism, needs to be international too. The right, with it's obsession with protecting the power of the nation state, has recognised this far more than the left has.

Capital is international. Capitalism in its current guise resembles a Soviet Apparatchik model whereby member interests are all important and elites are deified and enriched enriched beyond the imagination of the hoi polloi.

1. Stopping illegal migrants. REALLY stopping them.
2. Greatly reducing taxes.
3. Dismantle the NHS and find an alternative.

that list is as daft as "spend moar money".

 

[Hugo Rune]

they almost certainly haven't "worked hard", more daily mail spin

100%. Those that have inherited huge wealth very rarely work very hard in my experience.

These are Tory priorities not the county's priorities, I think I got that right?

 

[Nobby]

I think the happy answer is yes. But they've got to get out and vote and they've got to exercise the discipline to vote tactically when necessary.

The UK and the US are the same, when the sensible people are riled to action, the loons find they don't have the numbers. Not quite

Really hope so.

I was thinking of the £650K threshold. I didn’t realise the residence exemption for children applied to grown up children, although both of them are still at uni, at the moment.

Yes it does. So £1m threshold

"a bit of a mess"?

after dave, maybot, bungleclunge, trussterfuk and newboy, only you could make it worse

I missed that referendum....

 

[stewart12]

I missed that referendum....

also, whilst I disagreed with that invasion personally, there was a general election very shortly after which Labour comfortably won

I'm sure this will feature heavily in The Sun, The Express, The Mail, The Telegraph, The Spectator and a few weird TV channels in the coming days. They'll be hold the government's feet to the fire demanding answers..

they probably will - the revenue is coming from raises to corp tax, energy levy, frozen allowances on higher rates. they'll be calling for tax cuts.

You do realise that the Tories would have had us in that war twice as quickly don't you.

84 Labour MPs voted against, and 69 abstained. 2 and 17 were the equivalent for the Tories.

 

[clapham_gull]

I wonder which political party people associate you with ?

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I still can’t believe that anyone with a shred of decency could possibly vote Tory now - no offence meant, I’m sure you are lovely people but really! Really!

 

[dsr-burnley]

So essentially you want British people to pay millions of pounds to US Healthcare service for worse services. And that's your priority in life?

Are there any other healthcare systems apart from the UK and the USA? It seems to be a general assumption that there are no alternatives to the NHS, the system that used to be called the "envy of the world", other than the US model. Surely other countries, perhaps those in the beloved EU, have healthcare systems that we could investigate?
