Yeah nut a party that is quite clear about how it feels about people of a Jewish background, at least they tell the truth about them a Redo. Disgraceful.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
Have you made your mind up who to vote for yet? Sounds like you’re getting closer after posting this bullshit.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
Nope not yet awaiting on all manifestos before deciding. I was thinking about this very matter this morning and I was leaning towards not voting and being a protest vote.

Can someone explain exactly what free broadband means. Not the headline but the reality. Corbyn said it will save famines over £30 a month I think.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
When this was first raised I assumed it was just the line, Openreach. That part of the internet would be free but the ISP’s like Talktalk etc would still charge. Not free internet, deception really, but good politics. Guessed some staff losses at Virgin and Sky when a few people migrated and new business shrank.
Need to check but I thought Corbyn mentioned £30. Maybe wrong. But that cannot be the case as the line cost part of the internet is circa £12. Even the that includes the telephone so how does that fall into the equation. Corbyn cannot be buying out Vodaphone, Talktalk etc so what exactly is the free internet, it won’t be, just cheaper.
So what the hell is free internet

The debt thing already happens in lots of businesses - Thames Water, as a prime example - whereby profits are eaten up by interest repayments to offshore entities.
But not under Corbyn, they won’t be.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
This is just borrowing against your assets, principally so that they have no nominal value. So your wealth in the UK is nominal, but your cash is nice and safe abroad.

Corbyn, would have to be very quick, or indeed in government now. As everything will already be organised. Come the 13th December, if Corbyn wins, they are one button away from completing the transaction.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
Just a thought. Our current interest payments on debt are higher than what we spend on defence. This is currently just over £40bn a year. Both sides want to borrow more.
It is like you buying a house and keep expanding and updating as your income increases, with borrowing. Until suddenly your income decreases, you start to struggle to pay the bills, your interest on future loans is much higher. This will happen within the next couple of years and you cannot expand your monetary policy because you have used your ammunition.
A recession will really bring this into focus.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
Its extraordinary in the ven diagram of political views that those who make the most noise about leaving future generations saddled with financial obligations (i.e - government debt) are the same ones who support policies that leave ordinary people saddled with mountains of private debt and environmental debts that are quite literally existential. Go figure.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
That is a valid point. The answer has to be a balanced approach with plan for growth in the economy. I guess you believe we should only focus on the hear and now and let future generations deal with the debt.Eat The Rich wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 1:42 pm Its extraordinary in the ven diagram of political views that those who make the most noise about leaving future generations saddled with financial obligations (i.e - government debt) are the same ones who support policies that leave ordinary people saddled with mountains of private debt and environmental debts that are quite literally existential.

Borrowing happens, it needs to be sensible until we have a strong economy that provides a surplus.
The interest we are paying back now could be better spent helping people now. We are indeed paying the price for past levels of borrowing, right now.

Re: The Labour Manifesto
But it wouldn’t be spent elsewhere. They’d persist with tax cuts for the richest.
The economy has been choked, all in the name of ‘austerity’. Meanwhile the richest have got richer, doubling their wealth in this period, so it’s not all bad.
