[Ghandi's Flip Flops]

The BBC are pretty impartial on this IMHO it's not like them at all.

wow.

just looking at the 'Worker's Rights' part of that manifesto, and similiar to Gordon Brown & co, Corbyn's Labour must still really despise the Contractor, Agency & Temporary workers sector.

Some of the other stuff doesn't look to bad to be honest, but how they'd implement it in practise or get it to work is another thing.

I've just heard someone from the Institute of Fiscal Studies say increased Corporation Tax (as proposed by Labour) could reduce investment. Can someone explain? If a company spends profits on investing in the business, isn't that spending allowed as a relief against tax - so higher Corporation Tax would encourage using profits rather than retaining them and paying tax on them?

I think they mean inward investment rather than investing from profits.

Ok. Pop quiz.

Who would defend vast disparity of wealth?

"The right of individual property and accumulation of wealth enables one man to engross for luxury what would suffice to make thousands happy." (Not from the Guardian)

We all support City. We would all rather City spend £200m this summer than give £2.7m to every league club from the Championship down.

The right-wing beeb

That's a novel idea.

Its a left wing manifesto and its long overdue. It stands up for the vulnerable and thats how it should be. Sorry but i dont care too much about people who only look after their wallet and claim the economy is in good nick despite the state of the nhs and poverty.

Two things.

One, there's a City game on which you posted five minutes into. I've popped online at half time to see if everyone is enjoying and saw you'd replied. You should put it on and enjoy something for a change.

Two;

We pulled this earlier because of the amount of personal insults being thrown around. I know it's an emotive subject, but please keep it civil, otherwise you'll be thread banned. Cheers.

Do you think labelling people that vote differently to you "selfish fuckers" is particularly civil?
