Labour won't even pay people the minimum wage they are peddling in their manifesto to canvas! AND it is illegal.


The minimum wage is £8.21 and hour. I’m a pharmacy dispenser and I don’t get £9.30

I think I’m in the wrong job lol I should start canvassing
 
Johnson's latest lie (or invention) is about how much inward investment is just waiting to come in after Brexit. It's crap. The uncertainty goes on until there's a trade deal, but the only way back to pre-referendum levels of foreign investment is to bin Brexit.
 
Of course you will. The reality is the unless you are on minimum wage and benefits, you'll be worse off under Labour. Your rent or mortgage will be higher, prices in the shops will be higher and there will be more people out of work.

Bizarrely there are still some people who vote for this. Although reading the er "deep" understanding from many on here, perhaps it's not that surprising.
Remind me,
who reduced mortgage rates? Why is inflation up? Prices are up in the shops? Are you too rich to notice?
 
no medal needed. Just pointing out I and many others read Bobs links and articles that are put on here.
I suppose it's like daily prayers. Keep telling yourself the same shit over and over so you don't ever stop believing it.

Well not for me, or plenty of other enlightened types. We had a referendum in 2016, we lost, we have to leave. End of debate.
 
So let's have your best critique then genius. Why will interest rates *not* go up if Labour get in? If you think I am mistaken then surely that is based upon some understanding you have. So let's hear it before your pills kick in.

Explain to us carefully and slowly (we are not too sharp us Tories) how Labour can spend and borrow on such an enormous scale without interest rates budging at all.
Just boarding - hope to see a reply when I turn on and look later - would be interesting if he can demonstrate understanding of what will/may drive interest rates up and then some analysis of those drivers against Corbyn and McDonnell's policies

Ok. Don’t debate then.

Why? Why do you continually insist in this bullshit deflection? Does my fucking head in. Do I seriously need to remind you WHY interest rates got reduced so much a decade ago? Seriously?

Fact is right now, wages are up, inflation is very low. Shame eh.

We all know, even you, what will happen to the economy if Jezzer's throwbacks are elected. We also know that the Tories' no tax increase promises are empty for the reasons you quoted. Why spin it? I repeat, the post Brexit landscape may well provide a welcome boost for our fiscal prospects which would impact positively on all the structural factors you list. Or it may not - we'll find out before too long.

The post Brexit landscape is years away.

And I cited the opinion of a former treasury advisor re the fiscal landscape post election. I also posted a 10 min video from the Telegraph of opinions from people in business. I do this because I found them interesting with the latter embracing all shades of political opinion. Whether you or anyone else choose to read or watch is entirely up to you. Moaning about them because you may dislike the sentiment isn’t my problem.

You'll have to excuse George, he's exhausted, in the daylight he has to round up as many virgins as he can, so that Worsley can gorge on their blood when he arises.

Even if it is the end of the debate for having to leave, it certainly isn't the end of the debate of the potential impacts of it and our implementation of it though.

That's not why lefty Bob is posting his endless tripe though mate. He's desperately hoping for a Labour victory (doubtless he'll say a hung parliament, but I'm not having that - he's shown where his true allegiances lie, clear enough) and the ultimate revocation of Brexit. His campaign is not about the need for an FTA, or the merits or otherwise of Canada plus, or what have you. It's just endless anti-Brexit propaganda, re-running a debate that we've already had, and which he - and I - lost.

People need to accept they lost, and start looking positively forward so we can make the best of what we've got. It is not the end of the world, and in fact there are potential upsides. (Let's not debate them - I've stated them previously and doing so is pointless; upsides or none, we must leave.)
