And we completely lost the election which means 5 more years of austerity and failing support for the neediest in society, because people were more interested in feeling good about themselves than they were winning the election.

This isn't a win. Celebrating this result while failing to help the people who need it is an absolute disgrace and people should be ashamed for it.

"Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?"
 
I will give it 6-9 months before she is gone, this coalition has failed and we are at the ballot box again where Corbyn cn finish the job off and the country will vote for a labour government and an end to Austerity.

Bring it on.

My definition of the service industry is the same as the OECDs. Strange comment.

And unemployment reached 12%.

We have three types of work; agricultural, manufacturing and service.

For thousands of years, people mainly worked in agriculture/mining. Then the Industrial Revolution happened and the economy switched to a manufacturing base as mechanization was better than humans. Then the digital age happened and the economy switched to a service base bevause robotic arms and programmable factory machines are a better assembly line than humans. Now we're on the verge of the robotic revolution where robots (computer programs with weak AI, not actual robots) are becoming better at the service jobs.

There's nowhere left to go. There's no next pillar of the economy to jump to. That's all there is.

The people who work in IT writing software for robots and in designing stuff (including designing robots) and in maintaining robots will disagree

Because they can't just print outright lies without losing their job.

As an example, I had shared to my newsfeed "exclusive, London attackers linked to MI5 as May tries to scare voters into voting Tory. #VoteLabour #CorbynForPM" in a nice flashy meme.

I don't think the mirror would have attempted that.

what do you call the feckless fuckers with 6 kids brought into this world with no future? Too many scrounges getting hand outs for sitting on their lardy arses, big telly', computers in every room, cars, fags, booze, no intention of ever working. And the worst thing is, the people who really need the benefits like the elderly, those that have worked all their lives but have hit hard times and the infirm are those that suffer.

The Conservatives were addressing these issues, single welfare payment and reduction if benefit. Thank god Corbyn didn't get in, it would have been hand out city, also the illegals would be rubbing their hands at getting into the UK with the free money available, its bad enough now, under Labour it would be 10 times as bad.

Can you explain how these "illegals" get "free money"?

I know. I think society should be judged on how it cares for its most vulnerable not its most prosperous. Hopefully the new younger voters will see through tory attitudes and daily mail politics, no hope for the ones posting on here though.

By some of the shameful views posted on here, they wouldn't even help their nearest out, I have no time for them but what goes round comes round

Corbyn has motivated a marvellous amount of our youth to get involved in politics, that has to be encouraged by all. He has also had to deal with backstabbing within his own party, and the most venomous assault and character assassination of any politician in my lifetime, but still came within 3,000 votes of becoming Prime minister.

3000 votes eh? Er i mean 30. Wait, no 30 million. No 3 million. Er hang on...
