Your posts are particularly unedifying tonight, Pete. Is your dullard cousin filling in for you whilst you try to shake off a heavy cold?

Nice try Clint, but you know that you are flogging a dead horse here. I know you have very little to work with but even you must accept that Corbyn is toast......

Corbyn's point on the NHS is completely moot. He would crash the eceonomy with his £500 billion spending spree, and encourage even more immigration which would place greater strain on the services available. It isn't even a contest.
The £500 billions plus QE bail out the banks/spending spree on 'buy to let' lending hasn't 'crashed the economy'.

Come on mate. You seem as knowledgeable as anyone on politics but your stance on the NHS is simply wrong. You mention your local NHS is fine and all things are merry, do you think this represents the whole country? Of course not. Do some research, read some articles/stories from people who experience it daily, watch the ITV insight programme on the problems..
Whatever your opinion is on Corbyn you've got to realise something has to be done about the NHS. Even if the funding improved only a few places that need it most, it's still better than nothing.
Here is a start for you (plus it has the famous "strong and stable leadership" in there somewhere) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-39711133

How many times have I explained this? The debt was always going to rise considerably over these last few years as the deficit was huge. Hence austerity measures. It would be a complete miracle if that hadn't happened. Now that the deficit is slowly but surely being eliminated, it would be foolish to start a huge spending and borrowing spree which cannot be financed. All of these pie in the sky idealist policies of Corbyn's are completely irresponsible and damaging because they can't be paid for.

Many of his policies would result in less government spending, not more.
Take building a million new homes for instance, which would almost certainly result in the housing benefit bill (£25 billion at last count) falling through the floor, lower rents across what remained of the private rental sector, take a significant number of people off the unemployment list in order to build the things and would guarantee future income to the state over and above the initial cost via rents and sales.
Or take his pledge to buy out PFI deals in the NHS and elsewhere, which makes so much economic sense that Boris did exactly that with the Tube-Metronet deal (and saved more than a billion pound) and the DLR (£250 million). Buying out every PFI deal in the NHS would require more money up front, but we are almost guaranteed to spend less than we would over the length of the deal.

"As Chair of Governors of a primary school I'm required to sign off the budget for the new financial year. This year our budget has been cut by £62k. Our responsibilities have increased. Next year the cut will be the same. This is without the proposed cuts to education every year until 2020.
Our staff are amazing, truly amazing and worth every single penny and deserve much much more. They haven't had a pay rise because of the public sector pay freeze. We will not be making any staff redundant but something has to give somewhere......
Every single parent, guardian, carer needs to know our education system is being destroyed by this government and you need to ask what cuts your child's school is facing.
If you're a Governor and you don't stand up against cuts that are harming the schools and children you oversee - you are enabling the dismantling of the education system you are supposed to protect.
Well, not in our Governing Body's name....."

Earlier this year the House of Lords published a cross-party exploration of how the NHS can adapt to the changing times, and it was admitted that if they were to design a health system from fresh that's fit for modern times, the NHS would not be what they design. I'm not sure that politicizing it as heavily as it is helps matters one bit.
