General Election - December 12th, 2019

[bronco]

The supreme irony is the last person of power and influence who actually cared and wanted to do something to help the north was George Osborne. And look at the "esteem" in which these Labour voters hold him!

Osborne ?? You really have to be taking the piss !! He proposed some unworkable crap from his industrial heartbeat hq in alderley edge then fucjed off back to Kensington and Chelsea the following week .

So if he knew what he was doing, you're saying the Diana Ditch stuff was a lie not just a promise he meant to fulfil and couldn't.

Do you ever tire of being boring?

We've had 10 years of the tory party giving everything to capital at the expense of the rest of us being screwed over. I'd like to see the rich being taxed more. The country is in a fucking state and they have the money to pay for it. They want to leave, they can, otherwise cough up. They've had everything their own way for too long now and the levels of inequality are getting dangerous (I am not talking about middle class wealth, I am talking about top 10% wealth).

Forgive my ignorance but how is the equality and the top 10% and the divide “dangerous”?

That would be the Gideon Osborne .... the inheritor of the fortune of 'Osborne & Little' the interior decoration company ... who keeps his family trust fund (valued at £63 million in 2010) buried in the Cayman Islands earning 10% interest tax free )

That George Osborne ?

It absolutely laughable to think Gideon had the interests of anyone other than himself and his mates, at heart. Austerity was a political choice that he and Cameron made, aided by the Liberals, and people should never forget that.

• Gender laws abolished because everyone will identify as comrade anyway
• Recognised terrorist group list deleted, they deserve a second chance
• Employ loads of Police (but take their powers from them, f*** the police)
• Daily red flag recitals, afternoons preferable because i'll be in bed and not at work
• Abolish GCHQ, MI5, MI6, we can't trust them
• Sort climate change (not sure how but here's £10bn to help)
• Nationalise Just-Eat, Mcdonalds etc as well, those dirty capitalists cannot control our food supply
• Abolish the Army, RAF and Navy, we don't need them because Jeremy will just chat it out with whoever is kicking off

What else is there?

NHS isn’t for sale to Trump. Think you missed that one.

Also police? Are there any left, sans powers or otherwise?

That's your perspective and you're entitled to it. I think having to hand over 47% of everything you earn, which in some cases is millions of pounds a year, when many people contribute virtually (or actually) fuck all, is tax enough.

They just mentioned on Politics Today that the top 1% of taxpayers contribute 25% of the tax paid in the union...

On to education now and the hypocritical desire to ban public schools... hypocritical because the majority of the Labour front bench (or their offspring) went to one...
