Current Affairs The Labour Party

[Chewbacca]

The problem is that the country is already split, you can see it on here. We had a vote, our democracy, like it or not, is to respect the vote. If we had another vote and Leave won again, the Remainers would want another one, and if Remain won, the Leavers would definitely want another one, and the country would remain divided. We need to move on and we need the Remainers to stop all the nonsense regarding another vote as it has just become a distraction and is helping the EU in our negotiations......

I agree that the best course now is to leave, let the carnage happen, and then ask again when people have had enough of staycations because the pound is worth 50 cents, and 15% unemployment.

 

[Number_25]

A green and red democratic revolution.

Yes please.

 

[zzr45]

What’s that based on?

400,000 green jobs. Great in the short term to build wind farms and insulate homes. Great when it’s in progress, but what happens when it’s done? Who’s paying these people?

The Labour leader also used his speech to announce plans to create 400,000 skilled jobs with new investment in fresh wind farms and insulation for homes.

It’s another fine policy at first glance, but it just doesn’t seem to have any depth.

Elaborate a bit more, I'm a bit thick you see.

Well have you made any attempt to find out?

Or are you just instinctively chiding for no real reason?

There’s only a finite number of wind farms and homes that can be insulated. Once they’ve been done, or the budget to build them, or the planning permission has been revoked for more wind farms, what do these skilled workers do?

 

[davek]

Of Toyland.

I smell the fear from here.

The Tories are dead; long live Labour.

Sit at home, in their well insulated, green powered homes.

 

[zzr45]

Ahh. So we now need to abandon logic that there can only be a finite amount of homes that require insulation or wind farms that can be built. Gotcha.

 

[zzr45]

Sit at home, in their well insulated, green powered homes.

And who’s paying them to do that?

 

[peteblue]

That speech. Two words:

Prime Ministerial

Hahahahaha........

Once insulated we can just leave them? New houses don’t get built?

Wind farms don’t need to be maintained? We can just build them then leave. Awesome. Who cares how many jobs they produce then!

Well now that we’ve had the conferences from the minority also-rans, next comes the proper one........
