I haven't mentioned you, nor was that post meant to refer to you.It referred to Labour politicians and the more vocal defenders such as personalities in the press/social media and political figures.Where have a I been thin skinned or aggressively defensive? I even thanked you in my last reply.
Unfortunately celebs and personalities seem to think their voices are louder than yours or mine. Whether it's Lilly Allen, JK Rowling or Gary Lineker (who failed to comment on The bbcs tweet about Pete the badge, but been very vocal about mental health cuts in the past) It certainly didn't do Hilary any favours during her election battle with Trump.I haven't mentioned you, nor was that post meant to refer to you.It referred to Labour politicians and the more vocal defenders such as personalities in the press/social media and political figures.
Apologies if you felt it was aimed at you. I assure you that was not the intention.
I'm asking about Murdoch and his influence because one of Labours policies is to go after people like Murdoch. How does that distract from the GE topic? I thought the whole point in this thread is to cover policies, unearth as much as you can and hopefully help others who maybe don't know which way to vote.
Unfortunately others use it as a dick waving contest
Do you mean News Corp or do you mean the Australian born naturalised American who lives in and pays tax in, the United States?Still nobody wants to talk about the lack of tax Murdoch has paid since 1987, but no, those who are definitely anti Corbyn resort to petty sarcasm rather than general discussion.

You're making a distinction between the man and the company? He's had government in thrall to him since 1979 and News Corp pays an average of just over 1.2% corporation tax. The man is an odious hypocrite who should ensure his companies pay their dues.Do you mean News Corp or do you mean the Australian born naturalised American who lives in and pays tax in, the United States?
The momentum mob running Labour can't stand the centrist view. They think everyone who does not support an outright socialist government is a right wing, racist, Tory, tax dodging war mongerer. The reality is as in my personal situation, Corbyn threatens defence and therefore my job, he will hit my taxes and his cronies will bankrupt the country.
He will go to town on peoples tax, hurt any company wanting to make money and therefore job creation and investment will collapse. Everyone will end up on strike, every pub will be virtually put out of business because he will bump up the minimum wage and we will become a country of people desperately hoping for work whilst struggling to prop up the biggest group of money sinks in history.
I am no fan of the Tories so far, I think they have been very weak and their machine has dressed it up so far very well. I would still vote for a Blair type government tomorrow but that option is not on the table. At the minute it looks a bit bleak but I would keep the status quo just to get these morons out of Labour.

im pretty sure most posters find it disgraceful that such an influential man can get away with that over the years and attempt tosway public opinion.
I'd be very interested to see how Murdoch represented Blair and let's not forget the slogan "New Labour" or Tories Reserves as they were also seen as.
I vote by policies and not by party. I really don't understand those who vote for a party cos granddaddy used to.
Thanks for the reply
