  1. Bedroom tax
  2. Denying disability benefit to 165,000 people
  3. Scrapping housing benefit for 18-21 year olds
  4. Benefit cap
  5. Rise in uni tuition fees
  6. Junior doctors' contracts
  7. Scrapping nurses' bursaries
  8. Snoopers' charter
  9. Social care cuts
  10. Public sector pay freeze
10. NHS "10 year diet"

There are many many more!

Corbyn wants to invest in public services- education and health by taxing the rich more. Surely you'd have to be completely ignorant and selfish to not agree with this? 4 more years of the Tories will be the end of the NHS, we'd be fucking stupid to let this happen.

Elendon You seem to be obsessed with defecating in a bucket?

Elendon · 09/05/2017 19:36

I care not for a Tory landslide because it won't even dent me. But I do care about others. Anyway, I can afford to watch the train crash that is Teresa Mae when it comes to EU negotiations.

Elendon · 09/05/2017 19:38

Anon you are the one who is obsessed with having people stripped of their dignity so much, you would happily have them shit in a bucket.

Anon213 · 09/05/2017 19:38

I pointed out it has plenty of money for luxuries when those in charge "need" them.

What people do with their own income is nothing to do with the state. If someone has earned enough to buy a glass of champagne why is that bad.

TessTube · 09/05/2017 19:39

I don't want Theresa May to do badly, why would you? So more people can shit in buckets?

That's ridiculous..

I hope we can just survive it as best as possible so that someone sane gets into power.

Anon213 · 09/05/2017 19:39

No Elendon, I have not mentioned buckets and crapping in them until you started repeating it. Whats that obsession about?

TitaniasCloset · 09/05/2017 19:40

Anon scares me. It scares the crap out of me that anyone could be so heartless and clueless.

TessTube · 09/05/2017 19:40

Erm it was rather Eledon.

I started to wonder if it was in the Tory manifesto.

Radishal · 09/05/2017 19:41

I used to live in Soviet Russia. What a fucking paradise that wasn't.

Like who Jeremy Corbyn?

TessTube · 09/05/2017 19:47

God no.

TessTube · 09/05/2017 19:48

In the interest of fairness I also think Theresa May is a scary swivel eyed loon.

Elendon · 09/05/2017 19:49

Radishal, how old are you? Soviet Russia? I hope you're not an immigrant in this country, Anon will be on to you.

Anon Why is teresa mae any better? By the way I'm misspelling her name because no one seems to get Corbyn's name right. And I don't like her.

AliceTown · 09/05/2017 19:53

Again, what are you talking about?
You said the state doesn't have enough money for social care. The state. I said, it has enough money for luxuries for those in charge. The state. Why are you going on about people's own money?

Elendon · 09/05/2017 19:57

Let's face it. I've not seen a thread yet about someone who has said that teresa mae has given them the hots. Unlike Cameron. Unlike Macron.

C'mon guys on this board, you must be getting a hard on every morning when you wake up to the lovely teresa mae.

Oh wait! Men vote on policies, not the hotness of the leader. Men use their brain power.

Radishal · 09/05/2017 19:57

I was born here. I am in my fifties. I worked in Soviet Russia.

Elendon · 09/05/2017 19:58

Step away from the mirror AliceTown.

TessTube · 09/05/2017 19:59

Are you seriously suggesting people aren't voting for Corbyn because he isn't fit?

That's a joke right??

Elendon · 09/05/2017 20:00

Yeah sure you did Radishal because it was grim being a foreigner working in 'Soviet Russia'. The other leg has bells. Remember that saying?

Elendon · 09/05/2017 20:01

Who me? I never suggested such a thing. Quote me!

AliceTown · 09/05/2017 20:03

Mirror?

tabulahrasa · 09/05/2017 20:05

"why should families on benefits be immune to the realities that working families are exposed to?"

Housing benefit is not an out of work benefit...some of those working families are being charged extra for bedrooms that aren't empty and that they can't be rehoused into a smaller property anyway, because they don't exist.

Radishal · 09/05/2017 20:10

I lived as a native in Soviet Russia. Rations, shortages, crummy flat with other natives. Three time zones east of Moscow. For a year. And then a year in Moscow. So I do know what I am talking about.

Dawndonnaagain · 09/05/2017 20:11

I wasn't trying to blackmail you. Make your posts clearer.

TessTube · 09/05/2017 20:29

What you going on about in your post of 19.57 then? Confused
