    General Election 2019 thread

    Agreed that in long run some might be profitable but there’s a massive cost (initial debt). As I’ve said before I don’t believe Corbyn’s and anti Semite (nor do I believe Johnsons a racist) but his lack of leadership/judgment on the matter is what’s causing him issues. Neil flagged this with...

    Ps Johnson will struggle so hope he’s prepped otherwise it could end up being the game changing car crash he’s been desperately trying to avoid !!!

    yeah, the paying out of reserves and not really being clear that he knew the higher rate of tax (more because he was under pressure) wasn’t good. Would’ve been better to say borrow more to pay for it as it’s the right thing but couldn’t really win. He needed calling out as it’s a semi bribe...

    I know what Tommy means to be fair BSB. Corbyn was trying to convey calmness (which he was reasonably successful with for a majority of the interview) but was rattled He was asked some pretty decent questions to be fair and struggled to give clear/honest responses, partly due to Neil only...

    Not sure the MCB are representative of most Muslims. I think successive governments haven’t dealt with them due to historical links to extremists. I have to admit, I’m not sure where the relationship is currently other than looking at their twitter feed, very anti Tory (some of it possibly...

    Agree NW. Johnsons terrible at hiding his annoyance....he could explode !!! As I say Corbyn remained pretty calm throughout but he’s just like the rest of them deep down ie economic with the truth, which Neils questioning highlighted (he’ll pay that £60bn waspi/female pension issue ‘out of...

    He’ll do it to all of them. It’s how it should be though, calling politicians out for their bullshit and then not letting them off the hook. Corbyn remained reasonably calm on the outside but he was fuming Neil raised a couple of very decent points and arguments I’d not seen/heard before to be...

    Let’s be honest none of us will know until the 13th (or at least until the exit polls) so whilst polls are interesting they are currently pretty irrelevant. Polls have been proven to be (in some cases very) wrong in recent years...Brexit, Trump and the 2017 election (although I think they were...

    Come on Fernando, soft socialism isn’t quite accurate... renationalisation of various industries and the inclusive ownership fund aren’t soft socialism. Many of the basic underlying aims/policies are good but then they have just gone too far in these other areas for me. ps I have no issue with...

    But there will always be a lag. For example the electric vehicle is available but they are currently expensive and not in reach of a majority of the public (not just the base cost the cost of chopping in your old car, it’s not a priority for the average man/woman). A majority of people will...

    I agree with the premise and the underlying aim but realistically, in the meantime, the consumer will pay (until those alternatives are readily available). ps and that’s not even going into the impact on pension schemes which will have a significant exposure to these companies and are likely to...

    General Election 2019 thread

    I think the Tory internet stuff is just an embarrassment and reflects badly on them. The fact that the truth comes out within hours just makes them look idiotic as well. But is the illegal student registration fake news ? The electoral commission previously found that Plymouth CC had broken...
