If you scrap fee paying schools completely, turn Eton etc into hotels then that will surely concentrate the minds of the people with the levers of power to make sure state education is the very best for every kid and we actually end up with a meritocracy. The likes of Rees Mogg would not want...

The elephant in the room, the Government know it is their own parties ridiculous austerity policies that have caused problems so its deflect, deflect, deflect.

As far as i was aware VAT being harmonised by the EU, they supported a tax on the least well off, they are a neo liberal club mind. Now we are out if the political will is there it could be scrapped and everyone in effect would get a pay rise.

I have a very simple idea, anybody that attends a fee paying school is barred from public office. Only state educated people can become MPs, be part of the Judiciary, have the highest ranks in the armed forces, be representatives in local government and be civil servants. Those who still want to...

Go and lie down, twitter is not real life, it is a platform for reactionary bullshit.

Oh No! not the Socialist twitterati I would in practice be against Riley getting an MBE because I think the whole honours system is a complete load of bollox that just serves to reinforce the deferential society we live in. Riley is great though on Cats do Countdown, worthy of a gong get to...

As you used "did" rather than "do" , i will say yes i did hope that Blair would be brilliant but what a let down, I did see my hopes being realised under Corbyn, but sadly he was undermined. As for "do" the hope has gone, as for "did" they were served before I was born by Atlee et al and i was...

That is happening in Manchester with the Secure Data Environment and GM health care record. There is lots of research going into it and i believe it will be a success.

Merkel's rationale, this is a quote from her "The two events I personally found most challenging were, for one, the large number of refugees arriving here [in 2015], which I actually do not like to call a 'crisis' – because people are people. So, first, there was the pressure we faced from...

Since Thatcher all we have had is neo-liberalism from whoever is in power. So none have served my views any better than any other.

Sca was quality and a top lad too. Typical Yorkshire lad, used to ring ahead from the train to the Waldorf so someone would get the first beer in. A few of us went to his funeral in Scarborough, a sad sad day. His "Whats happened to brown leather satchels" thread is my favourite BM thread ever...

Fuck off Starmer you ****. YOU ARE A LIAR AND A FRAUD,

If demonstrations did not work, those who died at Peterloo would have done so in vain, the suffragette who threw herself in front on the Kings horse on Derby Day would have died in vain, if demonstrations did not work the Mosleyite fascists would have marched down Cable Street unopposed, but...

I do not necessarily support their aims but i support 100% their right to protest. Protesting is an essential tenet of a Democratic system, yet the way some of you cunts have posted on this thread sounds like you would prefer to live in an Authoritarian state where all forms of dissent are...

As you did not respond to my post i will reiterate, Labour will only be constrained on spending if they follow the neo-liberal orthodoxy. The problem is when Labour under Corbyn pushed back against the orthodoxy, the establishment closed ranks and destroyed him through various personal...

I am a Fintan Fan, a superb writer and political commentator.

I have been here that long I remember Ric's post about getting pubic hair.

Apart from my numerous bans/sabbaticals/flounces/calling people cunts/hating the place/modding/calling people cunts, a fucking long time now. Did i mention calling people cunts?

Donated mate, its not much but it all helps and i already donate to Cancer research every month because my dad passed away with cancer Good luck with your hike, its a very noble cause.
