    No. Bugger off. We're full.




    I would recommend it, but not Basel itself, rather one of the surrounding communities in Baselland. Binningen and Alresheim have the lowest taxation. The Basel area has the same average temperature as London, but gets rather hotter and colder. It also has the same rainfall, but it considerably more sunny - it's the sunniest part of Switzerland. Basel mixes better with expats than Zürich - were there are Swiss only and expat only bars.

    Women should work. Strippers, lap dancers, porn stars, there's a whole host of careers I'm supportive of.

    Since they never survey all age groups in constituencies that make a difference e.g. those where the MP has a majority under 10K, I wouldn't hold my breath.

    Contrary to the popular notion that socialism wont work and will wreck the economy, the socialism that Corbyn believes in does actually work. It will decrease the gap between rich and poor and will give the lower class a ladder to climb so they can achieve social mobility. The problem with Tory government and indeed the New Labour govt was the belief that the rich need not be taxed and the middle and lower class be taxed to the maximum. It wont work.
    Course it will, just like it has done in Cuba, Russia and China

    Wrong. He's managed to live off the public-purse for the majority of his working life. What is that if not an accomplishment.

    I mean what is he good at, FFS?
    Believing that the West is always wrong and the rest always right?

    At last Hamface managed a first. Corbyn couldn't even complete his bulltulip poly degree in "Trade Union studies"
    But he's the exactly right for people like PG.

    No, what's happened is the real work is still being done, but there's a load of make-work garbage also being done to maintain the illusion of high employment, because "employment" is defined as involving a five day week (except when it's convenient for the politicians to include part-time work in the figures). Remove the make-work stuff (hi there Human Resources), get more people doing the real work, and each person will have to do less work. Redefine full-time employment to be three days a week, and the employment level remains the same. Simple really.
    Stick to JavaScript and CSS, you at least grasp that.
