    Do you seriously think this? It is all to do with borrowing against GDP. Long term it is seen as best to keep below 77% otherwise it has an effect on the economy. We are currently up to about 81%. About 5% of government spending goes on paying interest on what is owed. In 1991 it was down to...

    Will give my opinion when I finally get to the end of it. But suppose more of the same. Corbyn asking to let him finish his answer which doesn't answer the question given and Boris 'get Brexit done' Johnson not even pretending to answer any questions.

    My Christmas starts late next Thursday night. I am joining the wife and kids for nearly a month in France. Will be my first ever Christmas and new year out of the UK. Might even get snow. It doesn't snow where I live although I can normally see plenty of it on the mountains in the lakes...

    Your normal out of touch Tory. The type of person she mentioned does exist. But does she think they don't have living expenses? A lot of people give up their life as they know it to look after someone. They suffer a big income reduction most of the time. Every penny that comes in is needed...

    I don't see a problem with it as long as it is fact based and not on hearsay. Then nobody can be blamed on stretching the truth.

    I voted Labour in 2017. Name a year and if there was an election I would have voted Labour. But this time we have a leader that won't say what he will campaign for if he wins. I'm not voting this time. No way could I give my vote for Corbyn. But nobody else deserves it either.

    I get pissed off with one thing mainly. Lies. Used by most politicians and many on here.

    They were threats. If Brexit happens we will run out of drugs. But we won't.

    The problem that we have in the way the NHS has been privatised so far is it saves not paying out immediately for instance new hospitals. But we have to pay for it eventually. They build and pay. We pay for many years and they make a fortune out of us. And this style of contract comes out of the...

    So they couldn't make money selling drugs to the NHS like countries in the EU do presently? As in we 'might' have a drug shortage soon?

    Bliar wasn't a Tory. He had Tory principles. In the first term of office Bliar kept to what Smith set. But in his second term Bliar did change things. Look back at history. It is all there in black and white.

    Bliar got in because of the work Smith did before he died. Smith would have been the next PM.

    You can get a longer sentence for theft without violence than for murder. Is it better to be dead than have money taken from you?

    Campbell is always given credit for something he hasn't done. Bliar got in because of Smith. He stayed in power because they used Tory principles and were a change from Labour principles. That is what the slogan New Labour was all about.
