They abstained from a vote to rip up workers rights the other day which I suppose was nice of them.

Onto page 4 and not one answer of note.

Up to know it is definitely fitting my thesis.

Is your thesis based on people with a political ideology that are not open to understanding why others may think and vote differently than yourself?
Send me a copy sounds interesting, although I won’t read it as I have already decided I don’t agree.

I support RCD Espanyol

Catalonia - perfect. I shall find a highly political forum and post incessantly about sport in Venezuela and how Witton Albinos bar prices have gone up.
Seriously if l lived where you did it would be to escape British politics and posting about them even on a politics forum would be the last thing l would want to do.
Come to rainy UK and l will look after your house in Paderne.

 

[remember arthur mann]

A policy with the benefit of hindsight that all but destroyed the social fabric of many housing estates, depleted the housing stock, led to a massive increase in homelessness, a banking crash and which now makes it virtually impossible for young uns to get a home and means they have to pay sky high rents to owners of former council houses.

Thatcher the fucking idiot denied Councils permission to spend the reciepts taken on new housing to replace those sold thinking the private sector would take up the slack. It was nothing short of a free market catastrophe unless you had the readies to buy for cash of course, then it was the birth of I am alright Jack society.

It was quite possibly one of he worst policy decisions of the 20th century as it sucked demand out of the economy which led to further job losses, higher debts and wage slavery, then the housing bubble and bang goes the economy and years of austerity follow, leading to under resourced public services and health provision and then 100,000 people die.

Thanks for taking part :)

Did Maggie circulate with Peter Rachman ?

Haven’t Labour abstained from votes regarding coronavirus response, that will save lives?

That’s politics, some times it’s as good as voting for it.

I don’t agree with big government
I don’t agree in job creation for the sake of it
I agree the individual is a better at spending money than governments
I agree in the rule of law
I agree in protecting those who cannot project themselves
I agree with the concept that those who can do, and those who can’t are looked after
I agree with the principles of free care at point of delivery
I agree immigration is good, I do not agree unlimited immigration is good as it can overrun infrastructure
I do not agree that the best way to equality is by finding the lowest bar and moving everyone to it

That’ll do as a starting point

For me the Tory’s tick all of them to some extent or another, Labour some but not others, the other parties are fairly academic in our system

Has the Daily Mail thread been merged then?

You didn’t mention those less fortunate than yourself.
