QUOTE (James_Trinder @ May 22 2019, 02:47 PM) I think that the Conservatives are better with the economy than Labour because they encourage private sector investment and generally maintain a pretty lean public sector, unlike the previous Labour government who actually increased the number of public sector jobs while in office. Is less doctors and nurses and police officers a good thing? Personally I think we should all be paying more tax.

And how this extra money is invested. I don't particularly want to pay for cosmetic surgery such as breast enhancements but would be happy to pay more for things like Cancer treatments.. It's not as simple as you make out.

I think you're being ridiculous. As if any one in the current crisis would be advocating more money for breast enhancement. Compare waiting times now to the end of the last Labour government and try to remember that it isn't just "other people" that suffer poor service and outcomes through a lack of resources. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/ja...ancer-treatment

And how is it going to be raised? I have no doubt you just want to raise tax on anyone who earns more than you.🤣

Not just the NHS, but also education, police and so on. Mind you, they will have to go up if we Brexit with no deal. Oh, by the way, I wonder how S****horpe's Brexit voters are feeling at the moment? They won't be the last Brexit voting northern town to pay the price.

Nothing to do with a 120 million Bill to the EU for carbon emissions. Norhing to do with China makung more steel in a year than we have in history. Nithing to do with the EU stopping government intervention. Nope.. it's all down to Brexit voters.

Works in France.

No, I think that more doctors and nurses and police officers are a good thing. I would be more than happy to pay extra income tax to fund extra positions in all of these areas. However, I think that more office based civil servants at both central and local government level are a bad thing.

Many of the problems we're seeing are caused by insufficient funding.

In this instance I was referencing the problem of Brexit but I completely agree that the neglect of the entire northern half of this country has contributed to an overwhelming feeling of dissatisfaction, which has been played on and encouraged by those who favour Brexit.

QUOTE (newres @ May 22 2019, 06:41 PM) I wonder whether the people of S****horpe are regretting the way they voted in the referendum? When you think, they were told that we’d be better off, we’d get the “easiest trade deal in history” and three years later 20,000 jobs gone. Repeating the same inane argument over and over again that is actually complete b0llocks is the sign of Brexit Derangement Syndrome. I think you are ill. I do hope a remoaner throws a milk shake over Trump on his visit. Will be interesting to see the "response"... https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/05/the-e...-british-steel/

It’s lost orders because of the uncertainty surrounding Brexit. Didn’t you know that? Or that the crash in sterling as a direct result of the Brexit vote has impacted it. Sorry, I thought you followed the news.
