Well you must be thrilled.Just thought the leaked Labour manifesto was worth a mention.
To pinch a quote from the Don 'it's beautiful'.
A credible and fully costed center left alternative set of policies to fund our skint public services and take back into state control the country's assets which have been used by private companies to line the pockets of directors and shareholders at the expense of the public.
Unlike the previous Tory lite policies of Red Ed this manifesto is a serious alternative to the neo liberal policy pursued since Thatcher of privatization and the 'trickle down' financing of public services from the benefits of a low tax economy (NOT).

I'll tell you what. Before this election, I had hopes of May being a genuine one-nation Tory that would tone down some of Osborne's ideological excesses (because Cameron was just a pretty boy who never had an original thought in his life). But my opinion of her has gone down so low that not only do I see someone who is incapable of delivering change but someone who is a downright, evil liar. I hate the woman with a passion I can barely believe. Gordon Brown was someone I had no time for but he looks positively Churchillian next to May.
I'm still not convinced that Corbyn is a great leader but now we're getting to hear him more he's coming over as a very effective speaker and someone who has a passion for social justice. May, on the other hand, is like an ugly Barbie doll where you pull the string and it utters one of a few stock phrases. People are seeing the way the NHS and other public services are going and that she has no concept of, or meaningful answers for dealing with, the problems that ordinary people face. I think she's fucking this campaign up massively and it could be a lot tighter than people think.
At the start, I couldn't see who I was going to vote for as none of the main parties seemed to be offering much but now I will certainly be voting Labour and doing it enthusiastically.
Exactly how I feelIts interesting reading your thoughts. I have voted labour in the past but cannot bring myself to do so again as i run a small business and labour have been found out as being anti small business in the past. Their or should i say Corbyns manifesto looks like a socialist christmas wish list and i am sure would financially cripple uk plc. Im not overly impressed with the Tories either as I couldnt stand cameron or osbourne. I voted for Brexit and Ukip last election as a protest but they did their job and i see absolutely no point in continuing their party. I cant stand Tim Farron because he caved in on tuition fees and is a weasel. May seems a cold person to me and certainly needs to address some of the social injustices in our society but i doubt she will. That said the only leader i would go for a pint with is is Corbyn as he seems like a genuine person. I just happen to dissagree that his policies would work. Therefore I am considering not bothering to vote for the first time in my life. Politicians are all the same at the end of the day.
LOL.Well you must be thrilled.
Although you were quite the cheerleader of Red Ed.
How are the polls looking out of interest?
A tad understated perhaps, but no denying the veracity of that statement.With that manifesto Labour have gone full on left wing bat shit crazy
Deluded pillocks

But we have several large businesses in the UK who pay next to nothing anyway ( boots the chemist is just one of many ) mainly because they have friends in high places - why should they get away with it and why were they allowed to get away with it in the first place?Fully costed based on the assumption that there are no negative consequences to increasing business taxes?
The 26% rate suggested would still be the lowest in the G7.Fully costed based on the assumption that there are no negative consequences to increasing business taxes?
Instead of posting your usual bollox, I'll ask you the same question as I put to cibaman - where would you find the money from to meet the crisis in funding for the NHS,schools,police,social care and other public services?A tad understated perhaps, but no denying the veracity of that statement.
And predicted to rise to borrowing an extra 800bn by 2020! When total debt will be at 1.8 tn!( of course they are reducing the deficit but slowly, very slowly Jeff)Labour borrowing £250B in 10 years is described as 'huge' by The Telegraph, whereas no mention of Tories borrowing £700B in 7 years. Strange that.

That echoes how a lot of us feel I would guess.Its interesting reading your thoughts.

I don't have any deep political affiliation and didn't have the instinctive hatred for them that you had. I class myself as a fairly analytical person and judge them on their record and their policies rather than subjectively or emotionally.You and I once argued about whether it was legitimate for me to openly express my hatred of the Tories, are you beginning to understand now?
I will?At midnight on 28th March 2019 you will hear a cock crowing because you will have been betrayed three times by the reMAYner.
First on EU immigration
Second on accepting ECJ rules
Third on UK annual payments to the EU.
And you will weep.
How on earth do you equate capitalism, a system where the individual owns the means of trade and industry, therefore focusing on personal freedoms, and fascism, where the state government has total control over everything? One seeks to help people out of poverty to create personal wealth, the other seeks to take it all away from you. If anything mentioning fascism just highlights the number of similarities it has with communism.But if that is true surely capitalism is an extension of fascism . some of the biggest fascists in history have taken over the running of their countries and enforced their own version of capitalism on all ?
