QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ May 26 2017, 06:19 PM) He will bring you. Inflation. Strikes. Mass immigartion. Diane Abbott. A pound that wont be worth a Euro. Riots. And mass unemployment. I think you're wrong, but I do understand where you're coming from. I was born in '66 so I just about remember the three-day-week, Red Robbo, candles, and the strikes of the grave diggers, lorry drivers, and bin men. However, to dump all of what was hateful about the seventies onto the Labour government and then suggest that a Corbyn government would have history repeat itself is too simplistic. It's really difficult to make much comparison at all between the social and economic situation in the seventies and that of today, and pretty difficult too to make a meaningful comparison between the politics of the seventies and now.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ May 26 2017, 08:36 PM) 2 + 2 = 5, no, when I left the office it was 3. 🤗 Comedy gold.
Did you see her at the police confederation? So impressed they didn't clap, didn't boo, just sat, in silence. She was so confused she tried to walk of the wrong side of the stage. Home Secretary my ****. "White people love playing divide and rule".. Thats ok. Nothing to see here. "Most suicide bombers are Islamic". Racist scum. The first statement is inaccurate and is attributed to Ms Abbot. The second statement is not. Just a fact. But what would you be pilloried for by the lib left pc police?

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ May 26 2017, 08:36 PM) Today? Give me a break. You have been wearing a red badge on this forum for months. Wrong. I would never have imagined I would vote for Labour led by Corbyn. I still think he is no friend of small businesses and I run a small business. I think however that he can't be worse than a hard Brexit. Add to that his foreign policy, health and education and I think he's the best option.

But what would you be pilloried for by the lib left pc police? No one would say it's racist to say most suicide bombers are Muslim. However to say most Muslims support suicide bombers might be at best be considered as stupid.

QUOTE (newres @ May 26 2017, 09:05 PM) Brexit did that. Yawn.... Sorry its all Corbyns fault. Oh yes... That hasn't happened yet either. But lets start blaming him now and say the countries doomed. Oh and if he does win I demand another election as I won't like the outcome. Its my bat and ball and I'm not playing. At least 70% of the population wont have voted for him. #notmyprimeminister. 😂😂😂

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ May 26 2017, 06:19 PM) Corbyn will win the GE. Lots of my colleagues who are normally blue are voting for him. Lunacy. They are fed up with austerity. Good luck. 8s with the bookies. Get on.
He will bring you. Inflation. Strikes. Mass immigartion. Diane Abbott. A pound that wont be worth a Euro. Riots. And mass unemployment.
And it will all be blamed on Brexit and not crazy spending. Really? Isn't inflation a mechanisim where you pay more and more yet get less and less in return? Sort of like Conservative management of local government on our own doorstep? Isn't strikes an issue where strategic employees withdraw their labour for long periods and at random times to cause hideous inconvenience? Sort of like Conservative management of the Southern Railway franchise? Isn't the Pound valued by international free market tests? Sort of like the reason why the Conservatives kept us out if the Euro? Isn't Miss Abbott an MP who says stupid things and tries to play the TV personality just to attract attention? Sort of like a Mr Boris Jobnson MP. Isn't the immigration figure and boarder arrangements the responsibility of the Home Secretary; who should take the rap when they spiral. Sort of like not trusting a previous Conservative Home Secretary who presided over sky high numbers and didn't do anything about it. Isn't mass unemployment the price of a free market; state control of employment is known to push up labour costs and makes firms inefficient. Sort of like what successive Conservative governments have preached since modern politics started. Know your place! Vote Theresa for strong and sable government; yes the Conservatives are even promising new fir coats!
