General Election June 8th

[remember arthur mann]

Truly appalling that these represent the best the political parties can produce.

Could put them all in a mincer, mix them up and you still wouldn't have a decent politician.

Things are so bad we have switched over to BGT

Yes, but it hasn't !

I seriously think she's underestimated this election and expected a stroll in the park

Definitely this

Why is Nuttall going on about needing to add 4,000 police to our borders? Has he not had a look at where the 7/7 and Manchester bombers came from?

 

[SWP's back]

Green woman doesn't know what Islamist means.

 

[SpiritofBurnden]

That scouse UKIP whopper sounds like he's reading from a script written by the Daily Mail.

 

[SWP's back]

Not sure what Leanne Wood is doing there.

With rights come great responsibility. It is frightening (to me) that a generation of 18-24 year olds, let down by a catastrophic labour education system that brainwashed this generation into believing that the world owed them a living, are enticed into voting (when normally they can't be bothered) by the many 'freebies' on offer - £10 minimum wage, free university education, free childcare, more police, more investment in an NHS (where we are already spending trillions over the next decade) All paid for by private business that needs to thrive in order to pay for our public sector spending - how Labour expect this to happen when hitting the engine of the economy with higher taxes is beyond me. Lets not forget, it was Labour that introduced tuition fees in the first place! I went to Uni in 95 and got my education for free.

As a result, we could end up with a Labour government that would undoubtedly run this country into the ground, burdened by a debt mountain that we would struggle to climb out of. Lets face it, the tories have tried 'austerity' and despite this have only halved the deficit and we still continue to grow our debt year on year until at least 2022.

As soon as night follows day, a Labour government almost always ends up with the country going bust. The 70's was the winter of discontent, and despite Brown continually telling us he had ended 'Boom and Bust' as chancellor we ended up with the biggest bust in 2008. The scary thing is that Corbyn takes the Labour party further left then in any of those periods so its scary how bad it would be this time around.

Wow - I had not actually expected to hear someone speak with common sense on this thread until the 9th of June

Well done sir, although I expect you to get drowned out by those who cannot stand to hear the Voice of Reason

Sounds like the drunk bloke at the bus stop shouting at the pigeons.

They did last year.

Really? This is from an OECD report from 9 months ago:

A report by the TUC, published on Wednesday, shows that real earnings have declined more than 10% since the credit crunch began in 2007, leaving the UK equal bottom in a league table of wages growth. Using data from the OECD’s recent employment outlook, the TUC found that over the same 2007-2015 period, real wages grew in Poland by 23%, in Germany by 14%, and in France by 11%. Across the OECD, real wages increased by an average of 6.7%.

Undeniably so. So much for the burning bush she found in the Welsh hillside.

Weird. 9 months ago can't possible include the 2016 calendar year which is what I asked about.

And stop including 2007-10 when having a go at the Tories.

He stated he wanted the border force increased but he also wanted another 20,000 on our streets.He also wants extra officers in our prisons,another breeding ground for extremism.

Can it be funded? i dont know.....but if possible,i welcome it.

 

[SWP's back]

Seems none of them other than Nuttall understand what Islamist means then.

I heard mate, it was the 4,000 to increase the border force I was questioning.

 

[The perfect fumble]

How was it in 2016?

Also you include 3 years of labour rule there which includes 3 of the worst years 2008-10 since the Second World War.

It's like blaming Pep for Pellegrini's last two years.

You're twisting and turning.

This wasn't Labour versus Tory. It's about the decades long trend of wages falling behind as productivity, GDP and profits have risen.

 

[FantasyIreland]

I heard mate, it was the 4,000 to increase the border force I was questioning.

Why not? Obviously the priority would be our streets,where relevant intelligence can be gathered.......but re-inforcing the border wouldnt do any harm either.I'm up for anything thats protects our country and our people.

Is it a perfume made by isla fisher? or the hazy morning fog on the islands of jurassic park?

They've all no doubt costed the effect of cessation of arms sales to Saudi into their manifestos.
