Come out, come out wherever you are!
I know it will mean you will be attacked and preached at, you will be told you are rich, uncaring and hate everyone except yourself, but will anyone stand with me and admit to planning on voting Conservative on June 8?
I can't be the only one surely? I didn't vote the Conservatives in by myself in 2015!

Well this where a serious conversation needs to take place about the idea of a public bank. Behind that is the question: if we need a public bank, is it really admitting that the system we have now isn't functioning correctly?

Because the real question of this election lies there. It does. Finance is behind all of this. Banking. Risk. Movement of representative blips of electricity across the globe seeking a legally binding half a percentage point.

The people behind it all live in that reality. But they need to understand that for most of us there is a reality of a sick child who needs health care, or a flooded home or a pain in the stomach when no food is around.

A now deceased friend of mine once had a conversation with the late Tony Benn arguing that banks should be nationalised (my friend liked a heated debate). Tony Benn thought this was a step too far.
Would Tony Benn be a Red Tory these days?

Straw Man argument seriously? Is that what youve come down to?

I had a friend, now deceased who had a conversation with Margaret Thathcer before she died who said she used to wear her Arthur Scargill tshirt to bed, does that mean Theresa Mae has gone even further to the right than Maggie Hmm smh

Good interview with Sarah Champion

Oh man I've got a mental image of Maggie in a Scargill nightie now and it isn't pretty.

TessTube · 11/05/2017 11:12

That would be positive coming from one of Corbyns Team in The Canary though eh? Grin

JustAnotherPoster00 · 11/05/2017 11:16

Yeah Im aware its the canary so heavily biased but I put it up more for the interview than the article, afterall the canary cant bias the interview ifyswim

Even if Labour do not get in (and lets face it I think we all know the answer to that one) we still need a strong and viable opposition party to allow fair representation in the commons and to allow our democratic process to fully function. Labour voters need to come out in force (And this is coming from a Tory) because other wise we run the risk of the deranged/obsessed/dictatorial/deluded (delete as appropriate) Nicola Sturgeon being leader of the opposition.

No, they posted a video from from a momentum disciple, I cant wait for you to say Breitbart are just "heavily biased".

The costings that have been done, are "short term only", the IFS didn't look into it "fully", as not only is the laffer curve at play but the big elephant in the room of brexit, so, as usual for labour policies, they are great on paper and you would have to be a truly awful person to not like any of them, it's nothing more than a mere can kicking exercise.

Hopefully then they loose Corbyn will step down and we can get a sensible leader

Well if rumours are to be believed they are hoping for at least a milliband percentage so they cannot oust him directly, then he will stay on until the Party conference and introduced mcdonnell's policy which could potentially cause more problems later down then line.

The next few years are going to a fun time for any political junky

Anti-Corbyn Labour supporters are walking a bit of a tightrope here... Enough MPs to be a credible opposition, but not enough to give Corbyn the mandate to continue...

What is the magic number I wonder... 220?
