Like most parties, they have some good ideas. Some of their economic policies are batshit though. The £400 per month hand-out to every UK citizen could not possibly be funded.

How it is, or how it sees it? He doesn't have a monopoly on being right. I do like him though. Some of his videos are go to when trying to settle an argument.

It is not possible to dismiss Islam as being no different to other religions, because that just isn't true. One factor is the divine authorship, this is unique, meaning the Quran is considered the literal word of God. Of course, not all Muslims are literalists, but some are, and this plays out...

I think initially there would have been no difference, but I do agree they cut too deep for too long

There are some elements that are questionable, such as the photograph being credited to Ben Lack, who owns a professional photography company based in Leeds. Of course, it could just have been coincidence that he was there. I don't believe the family were complicit though, no suggestion of that.

No, I was referring to the fact that many people have conveniently forgot what was an accepted reality at the time that we were facing many years of cuts, as was acknowledge by Labour, the IFS, and just about everyone else. People seem genuinely surprised by this. It is the big deceit in British...

I'm not sure what you mean. Unfufilled promises in a party manifesto? What's new. Unless you think Labour will deliver on every promise they've made in this one, because they won't. We all know that.

Everyone seems to be suffering from some sort of collective amnesia. Back in 2010 we were told exactly what was going to happen. The IFS told us, pretty much every think-tank from left or right told us, the Tories told us, Labour said they would out-do Thatcher in how deep they would cut...

Surely you know the answer to that already?

To be fair, this seems to be the most complete account: 'It was chaos': Shocking photo shows Leeds four-year-old with suspected pneumonia forced to sleep on floor of LGI due to lack of beds I think people should make up their own mind really. I don't think the parents should be demonised...

I can't remember an election campaign more bitter and vitriolic. The personal attacks against all the main party leaders has been very ugly. It has been excrutiating. Glad when it's over.

Of course, some criticism of Israel is labelled anti-semitism when it is not. That is entirely valid. Equally, some stuff has gone way beyond legitimate criticism though.

You're proving my point exactly, and you're much better than that shmmeee. What is it about the criticism of Islam that bothers you so much? A take down of other religions? Sure, I'm happy to do that. As an atheist I'll happily take them all on. Fundamentalist Christianity - I could fill my...

Not sure what one of 'those' is, but if it is someone who feels that we should be allowed to criticise female genital mutilation, the throwing of homosexuals from the top of buildings, honour killings, the subjugation of women without being labelled a racist, then yes, count me in. I just...

You're missing the point Otis. It is the misrepresentation that is the problem. Yes, I have 3 children, and I once had an horrendous experience with my first child, which was under a Labour government in fact (but I didn't blame Tony Blair personally). The issue is this - what happened was...

I'm sorry, but you've all lost your minds. You're so desperate for this to be true that none of you are listening. What happened has been confirmed by staff at the hospital. The child wasn't given a bed, true, but was in a chair in the treatment room. The parents placed the child on the floor...

In other news, what was Jo Swinson thinking when she announced the gender self-ID policy? Hardly a vote winner and will plague her for the remainder of the campaign and lead to more excrutiating inverviews like this:

I'm guessing the reference is to the letterbox comment he made. Read the whole piece though and it does shed a slightly different light on it given that he was defending the right of Muslim women to wear the hijab in response to Denmark's decision to ban it. I'm not sure why he uses such silly...

Yeah, just read the post again and she does.

OK, I waded in based on one post without reading the thread. I don't buy into the lazy 'racist PM' tropes though.
