Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Joey66]

By the end of this Government the Conservatives will have borrowed nearly as much in 10 years as Britain had borrowed throughout its prior history.

At the same time it has decimated social services, mental health care, reduced the effectiveness of the NHS and reduced incomes of the most needy, all whilst providing tax cuts to the wealthiest and cuts in corporation tax.

How a government spends its revenues is a matter of choice. Austerity was a choice, it has failed the poorest and is failing the country as a whole.

And then we can get onto Brexit.

Unlike Corbyn who is going to borrow 500 Billion off his money tree!

Sorry mate, I'm not doing this to win, but 'I'm not going to offer an answer but instead talking about stringing the fella up' is hardly logical brilliance.

And please cut the yada yada 'leeway because of your youth', 'he's young, when I was young I used to think I was always right' blather if you think it is in some way assisting me or doing me favours. I would prefer if you put forward a contrary argument with some evidence rather than you strangely hiding behind my age.

It's becoming a strange obsession that nobody else seems to have.

I seem to have hit a nerve....good, I shall use that again.......

Now Joey, you know that Corbyn and monetary policies just don't mix.....unless Esk thinks it's the right thing to do ?

My generation are gonna be the first in a long time that will be worse off than the one that came before. It's not really due to governmental error or bad policy from either party. It's simply due to the fact that we have a duty to protect our elderly but it's extremely costly to do so due to the age expectancy increases. Basically the currently very generous pension plans are gonna be paid for by my generation and we'll work to were 72 I'd guess. No point moaning and complaining. We could be much worse off and we need to keep perspective.

It's a good point, and the state pension spend each year is more than any departmental spend, including the NHS, for which of course a large proportion of their spending is also on the elderly population.
