Current Affairs The General Election

[orchard]

I am beginning to have my suspicions that you may not be eligible to vote in the UK.

It takes some sterling effort to keep pulling these out of the bag mate.

Southport Party if they stand. Worrying thing being I've not seen their manifesto.
Revolves around leading the town back to Wedt Lancs or unilatersl declaration of independence I think...

...and more posh retirement homes - deffo more posh retirement homes.

Southport Party: "we'll build a wall at the end of the Formby bypass to keep the Scousers out"

Don't forget ripping the rail tracks up.

Do you have an ill informed irrational hatred of forens? Vote Tory, to protect an NHS we are happy to let fail.

Christ, had that come straight from Tommy Robinson's Twitter you wouldn't have been surprised.

So much dog-whistling my hound is going mental downstairs just for this being on my screen.

He’s an revolting individual. An utter wet wipe of a man.

Getting Brexit Done

That's as stupid as Evertons Twitter account writing 'on course to win the Premier League' and people actually thinking that was true.

Terrifying at how much like something Trump would do............

On this. The estimates are that Labour's broadband policy would cost £100bn. The big 5 tech firms last year made £107bn in profit globally, so even if you made the ridiculous assumption that you could tax their global profits, that would still only bring in a shade over £20bn (at the current 19% tax rate). As the bulk of the income of these companies comes from the US, the likely figure is going to be several orders of magnitude smaller than that.

In other words, just taxing Google, Amazon et al at the appropriate rate won't come close to giving the government enough to nationalise the broadband industry.

I'm pretty sure Labour priced it at £20bn p/a. How are you arriving at a figure that is 500% higher?

I am seriously thinking of unfriending Everton on Twitter.

It is like sodding Pravda.

LOL. Remember when that black female politician got the figures wrong once. I remember that far more than the actual costly mistakes of the white, male ones over the last decade.

The "20,000 new police officers" is nothing more than a vague promise; even if it was true, it would only replace the officers lost in the last few years.
