Reply to: Corbyn in Glastonbury Pyramid stage

Good find : however I don't think it is funny.

I do not think what has happened to these people is funny.

But where are your wringing hand socialist now when it is time to knuckle down to some work?

It was fine to use the festival as a spring board for your political ambitions but when it comes down to earth and the fun has moved on - where the fook are you now?

It is that hypocrisy which is the problem with Corbynistas.

(Saying that my mrs is a nurse and a lot of her colleagues voted labour because they were convinced they'd get a massive pay rise - from labours magic money tree I guess).

Isnt the fact that the DUP votes were bought by the tories proof that said money tree exists?

That is Democracy with a Corbynesque slant to it.
I say we make Animal Farm compulsory reading in all secondary schools before the next GE or we will all be going to hell in a handcart!!

Hmmmmm...

Bit crap the above video but around 30 seconds in you will hear more about Corbyns democratic principles.

[The_Equalizer]

No one commenting on the social makeup of the Glastonbury crowd? Missing a trick there surely!

[shaunbhoy]

Hardly democracy that.

Load of crap. Stick to music - thats what glasto is about.

The political stuff does my chunk in. The trident statue is just crap.
A lot of the people in the crowd are young kids who believe any old tosh. (Saying that my mrs is a nurse and a lot of her colleagues voted labour because they were convinced they'd get a massive pay rise - from labours magic money tree I guess).

Left my stuff in a locker tent run by CND. They asked me if I wanted to join. I said no thanks. So they asked why. I said I didn't agree with their stance. So the guy kicked right off about how stupid I was. Feck me mate all I want to do is store my beer here fella!

A few years ago some fella was going to refuse to let me use the "wateraid" sponsored toliet because I didnt fancy signing their petition. Seemed a bit pointless a petition of names where people had been coerced into agreeing to something just because they wanted a tulipe. Hardly democracy that.

If the Tories are toast at the next GE so will be the country.

Perhaps these people need to see a socialist government with their own eyes so that they can see the damage and destruction that will follow.

Yes, they could go on holiday to Scandinavia and enjoy the clean streets and happy people found there.

I doubt they do fund NHS expenditure on related diseases. There are however savings when the people die early.

My solution is neater, in any case.

Incorrect.
Correct.
Correct.

Do taxes on cigarettes bring in enough revenue to cover what smoking costs the government?

We know they bring in about £12 billion in direct tax revenues, although that doesn't count other contributions of the tobacco industry to total tax take (for instance income tax paid by employees).

And the cost side of this equation is even trickier to pin down.

Estimates suggest costs anywhere between £3 billion and £6 billion for NHS treatments in a given year. In the longer term the total cost might be lower, since some of those who die prematurely due to smoking might otherwise have gone on to cost the service even more money due to other health conditions.

Jeremy Corbyn says he will be Prime Minister 'in six months' - report

Jeremy Corbyn has predicted he will be Prime Minister within six months and said he wanted to scrap Trident "as soon as I can"

Did I miss something somewhere?

Labour did only get 262 seats - meaning they lost the GE and are 62 seats from a majority and have no way of forming a coalition even if they did manage to beat the tories at the next GE?

So why don't they shut the fook up crowing - talk about typical lefty shiite - everyone wins even those that lose.

All required in place to fund that NHS, can't get rid of them

Or address NHS demand and use Trident to nuke the UK's smoking, drinking and obesity hotspots.

So all of the UK then? Sadly the obese are taking over pretty much everywhere I go these days.

[northernladyuk]

He just needs to write "We spend £350m per week on Trident. Let's fund our NHS instead" on the side of the bus and people will vote for him.

Doesn't matter if it's true.
