Post Match Thread: Election 2017

[The perfect fumble]

For fuck sake....

DUP sources have told the BBC an announcement on a deal with Tories has been delayed because of the unfolding tragedy of the Grenfell Tower blaze....

Downing Street sources told our correspondent talk of a delay in announcing a deal was "not coming from us."

Maybe with all those cuts the Tory cabinet have side job as firefighters?

He didn't suggest there's mechanisms for equal wealth distribution in capitalism, he said that capitalism means the ability to create wealth by everybody. Not EQUAL wealth by everybody.

He stated....

capitalism is about wealth creation for all.

But capitalism is not about wealth creation for all, that is simply a fact. If you are saying capitalism allows individuals as private owners to pursue profit, that is true, in most cases, but that is not what he said or the gist of his post.

In my reply I did not suggest equal wealth for everybody, I stated an equitable distribution of wealth...

Equitable means fair, impartial, or proportionate.

But it's not the government saying this, It's the DUP.

On an interesting side note,....

You're the blind one I'm afraid....

Thanks for that. If you haven't heard already it, you might want to listen to Pettifor discuss her views on banks and money with Zuluaga from the IEA.

The man said 'equitable' NOT 'equal'.

I disagree with the sentiment of that video... Corbyn made promises he can't keep therefore caused mass hysteria (the proof is in the pudding) and May ran a shambolic non-campaign... it's skewed perspective

IMHO

Regardless, the young vote that he will no doubt access in another imminent election will likely get him into power..... the blind leading the blind.........

'Mass hysteria' ffs?

"According to Parliament’s register of interests, 72 of the MPs who voted against the amendment were themselves landlords who derive an income from a property."

He didn't say by everybody. He said for all. Patently not the case. In a wholly capitalist economy it requires the strong capitalists to exploit the weak workers. That is why a socialist element is required in all capitalist economies to temper the excesses of unbridled capitalism and to make sure that everybody does indeed benefit from the wealth that capitalism creates.
