Labour Manifesto, Thoughts? Options

[TallDarkAndHands...]

My first thought is that every FTSE and FTSE250 company will move its registered office to Alderney or Douglas and that tax take will crash.

My 2nd thought is that to make up for this shortfall all middle earners (25k+) will see significant tax rises to compensate for this.

My 3rd thought is that they really are living in some sort of parallel universe. 🤣

Well, I've just layed a century on Labour to win, got 12's. Was going to put something on lib Dems but it's just a waste of money.

You were done. You can get 25s with Corals or Ladbrokes.
Lib Dems are 400s and a Conservative majority is 4/9.

Locally 1/8 Conservative and 9/2 Lib Dems (Skybet)

Really? Oh well, never mind. Not much of a one for the bookies but even at those odds it's worth a quick punt.

Any chance of the Lib Dems in Newbury? Thinking about a small punt...

You mean the "Illiberal Undemocratic" Party? (Not working for me! )
Yes, I'm afraid there's a good chance they will.

Think you are right. Earnest little faces saying their policies are 'fact' based and if we vote for them, we won't need a referendum because we know exactly what they'll do - stop Brexit and stay in. Of course, they haven't a scoobies about what that actually means, but we can guess:-
If we stay, that's it, we are in for good
If we stay, we'll be welcomed like a naughty boy who says sorry
If we stay, we'll be punished, that is pay full whack, no special discount
If we stay, no protection for City; which will migrate to Frankfurt
If we stay, forget any 'industrial revival' we'll just be assemblers if that
If we stay, we'll be hard pushed to stay out of Euro.
If we stay, we will be bailing out Greece, Italy, Ireland etc.etc.etc.
If we stay, wave by by to our own armed forces.
And the list goes on. If we think that the Corbyn scenario is the worse we have to face, it isn't.

Between a shady looking character in red and a large expanse of H2O comes to mind. The annoying aspect of All of the political parties is their inherent belief that they know best and the electorate is just something to brainwash. The only surety is we will have a chance to express our contempt once again by 2024.
