The Labour Government

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

One idea would be for the Home Office to give every applicant to it's Paris consulate a temporary work visa.
That would help.

The UK Government would have to allow asylum seekers to apply at consulates and embassies for that to happen.

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Actually, it does.

Life expectancy has grown from 66 years in 2000 to 73 years in 2019. It's expected to be 77 years in 2050. Healthy life expectancy has grown 8% too. Fertility rates are up with the biggest growth in population being in Africa. Europe is expected to drop as fertility rates are falling.

Not in the UK .....After 14 years of the fuckwits in charge, life expectancy is falling.

Anyone would think we had just had a pandemic

Says you

Correct, it is forcasted to decline by 2050

You need to check your figures.

Can you explain why? because not one Economist i have ever read supports this notion.

If you have less propensity to spend you damage Economic growth

In 1945 when Labour took over a country that was -256% GDP , they used Keynesian economics to borrow and invest. They built the NHS, They built millions of homes, they created the welfare state, it produced an economic boom that led to a Conservative PM saying "we have never had it so good"

The post WW2 social concensus created the boom years of our country, we built Concorde, we were leading the world in innovation, but who lost out out?

The wealthy lost out so they backed neo-liberalism and created a state that is now one of the most unequal societies in the world. The wealth of the super rich and parts of Manchester are amongst the most deprived parts of the country.

The problem with Socialism is people with excess wealth will have to part with some of it for the betterment of the people.

When you say check my figures / please can you quote yours that suggest mine are wrong.

Your refer to the boom years of our country? You men’s the years we had 27 percentage inflation and 3 days week, bins not collected and bodies in the street and were known as the sick man of Europe?

Does that mean we can lower the retirement age? Leave the idiots who want to work until they die, to do just that.

Bodies in the street? I don't remember that.
Let's not forget the oil crisis.

Around the same time, a global oil crisis was developing. The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries enforced a boycott of the United States and an embargo on oil supplies to nations perceived as supporting Israel in the Yom Kippur War.

Just to point out that inflation was a global problem in the 70s (oil and some foodstuffs). It doubled under the last 3 years of the Heath government to 1972, and doubled under Labour but when Thatcher won in 1979 it was lower than when Wilson became PM in 1974. Inflation in Thatcher's early years rose entirely due to her policies.

You really didn't, no one answers it because they can't, like when you ask numbers just silence or deflection.

I did, you just either can’t or won’t see it. Anyway, it’s too much like hard work, so I’ll leave you to your sarky comments.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

They are not deported, they are removed, apologies for appearing pedantic but administrative removal and deportation are totally different.

Whatever the correct terminology is, the outcome remains the same.

3 day week was under the Tories.
Bodies in the street is a figment of your imagination.
