Originally posted by unixman View PostTotally off topic, and not many people noticed it, but the Tories have ensured they won't get a single vote in northern England in 2020. After the 2015 votes were in, the immediately announced all plans for a high speed HS3 northern rail line would be scrapped. "Northern Powerhouse" got them some northern votes this time, even mentioned in the Queens speech. Then flushed down a chemical toilet at Conservative HQ.
On topic yeah obviously Corbyn is Michel Foot and great for every party but Labour. I thought they would have progressed to a Neil Kinnock stage by now. But no, their Kinnock is still to come, and after that a candidate people can actually vote for in 2025, which will probably be a Kendalite or David Milliband.Comment

We have to support a huge number of people. If you removed 95% of the UK population and shared the wealth of the nation, we'd all be living like kings.Comment

No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

It is unproductive because there is a lack of pride and work ethic in the benefit spongers side of society. Give them to me, and I would have them fixing pot holes etc. work, education, or national service; but no free ticket. A real lack of vision as to where we are heading in the uk is a problem. There is no go to the moon. We need that, and people need to think they are working towards that. Today's youngsters, all they see is debt debt debt debt debt debt debt. Well that's a real inspiration and motivator!
I don't know the solution to migrants; but we are not alone in that problem.Comment
