Calling all Labourites, why do you Labour

[hilts]

I am a labour voter because I believe in social security, free education for all, free healthcare for all and that society needs to protect the vulnerable.

Thats the braod brush answer. happy to answer any specifics

Those aren’t ideals specific to the Labour Party

We used to guillotine people we disagreed with, I would say with have progressed well tbf ;-)

That’s my worry!

 

[Bigga]

Why Do I normally 'Labour'?

Exhibit A inhabits Number 10; a charlatan that makes it all up as he goes along.

Starmer, as I've said in that thread, is reactive and not proactive.

Sod them both.

Case closed.

But if I get to a point where I am earning an amount that I think is excessive, I will give some of it away.

The best thing you can do with your excessive money is spend it - creating jobs - give a man a fish (charity) and you feed him for a day, teach the man to fish (a job) and you feed him for life.

The charities I donate to are emergency ones, such as one that is currently focusing on the war in Yemen.

I get your point though.

Do you not need a strong capitalist economy so that we can raise the taxes for all those 'free' things?

Absolutely. Is there any evidence that either Labour or the Tories have a better record in delivering that strong capitalist economy?

No.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

No.

Socialist money trees have the additional benefit of absorbing CO2 emissions so if we can get a Corbyn clone into No 10 then we have can vast forests of them.

What's not to like?

There is an unlimited supply of money trees, the Capitalists do not want you to know that though so they hide the fact with austerity rhetoric designed to ensure that Socialism for the rich is always available

i thought that was obvious and did not need saying explicitly
