QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Jun 11 2017, 03:00 PM) Paid for with what? I haven't read a single unbiased economist who has said it's achievable in its current form. See the edits. Economists, like the Queen, I haven't met one who predicted the financial crash; biased or otherwise. Two, good and famous economic pundits would have supported it though, FDR and Maynard Keynes. Admittedly, they didn't have the accumulated wisdom of Liverpool John Moores!

Ends up with massive borrowing, a stifled economy and rioting when people see it's not working and turn their anger inwards. Nothing (new) to see here, move along.

Ah, so no real answer then, at least you are consistent. Of course, we didn't have people taking to the streets and rioting when Mrs Thatcher was PM did we? Sure, she gave nice Tory Mr Major a good economy but he simply squittered it away. So, yes, I agree, like the many others I've seen it all before.

Its only a matter of months before the new Messiah strides down Whitehall with his disciples and acolytes spreading rose petals under his all conquering feet. But come back in eight years, when it's all gone wrong, when the shine has worn off, when the music is offkey because the ensuing chaos will be nothing like we have seen before and will rupture the social fabric of this country in a way that will astonish you. In the end you will get, on your hands and knees for someone, anyone to get you out of the mess you are creating for yourself.

So, I'll be getting my handouts, sitting in my Council home, watching TV all day, meals on wheels will be back, plus I suspect the bus pass will be good for trains and taxis. Won't worry me in the slightest.

Particularly if you are intending landing somewhere the old jungle juice is cheap!

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Jun 11 2017, 09:54 PM) Dianne Abbot and Jeremy Corbyn were stuck in a lift. She couldn't work out the numbers and he wouldn't press the button! BA boom! Very good. Four Tory MPs jumped into a Taxi, they saw it was Theresa May driving and she took them where she wanted to go. Boom boom.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Jun 11 2017, 10:13 PM) A Marxist, a Marxist-Leninist and a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist walked into a bar. It was wonderful to see such variety at this year’s labour conference. 😂 Nah, you've lost your touch, that one was 1963 at the latest! The year Private Eye said the Tories had elected the UKs first satirical Prime Minister.
