Current Affairs The General Election

[zzr45]

Hey guys, you know how I keep banging on about this digital tax? The one that will raise £6bn a year? There’s nothing in Labours manifesto about how it would work.

Almost like McDonnell is a clueless little sh*te.

Give me an eternity of austerity to watch that charlatan viper die of a heart attack when the country rejects his nonsense once again.

Boris rools luv him he will get the migrunts out !!!!!

Good golly, what a rather ghastly thought. We wouldn't have a oversaturated labour market to keep the salaries we have to pay to our feckless employees low.

''Britain’s two main party leaders clashed in the first televised election debate. The courts rejected demands from the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National Party that they should be included. Boris Johnson, the Conservative prime minister, did slightly better than Jeremy Corbyn, the far-left leader of the Labour Party. The Conservatives’ press office altered its Twitter account to look like a fact-checking service. See article.''

From The Economist, what were they thinking?

That's nice, you can watch another 120,000 of your fellow citizens die over the next few years too.

Nice one bro.

Luckily if the tories get in they’ll be thousands more pensioners dying because of austerity so you could be in luck.

How you can have such anger towards a man trying to stop austerity and not the people who started it does baffle me somewhat.

Modern politics in a nutshell: 0% visions of how to build a better world, 100% spiteful misanthropy, resentful nihilism, and martyrdom complex because life has not bestowed the rewards to which a man as clever as he fancies himself ought to be entitled.

You do know that the authors of the report that stat is dragged from made it quite clear that they made no assumptions about what was causing a greater number of unexpected deaths in the past few years, it was (presumably) Labour supporters who made the assumption on their behalf.

Because the mans a tit. He’s made a huge song and dance about this manifesto being fully budgeted and it’s absolutely nonsense. The whole taxing multinationals is based on some notional paper published about 3 weeks ago with huge chunks just copied and pasted into the manifesto. It isn’t a solution at all it’s an ideal.

Yes stopping austerity is 100% what we should be doing, but that gurning little viper has absolutely no clue how he would do it without absolutely tanking the country or rising costs for the common man.

I’d have a lot more respect if it was a straight copy of the French model and ‘only’ resulted in a £500m tax intake. Instead it’s a paper based on fantasy.

Now, more that ever, the world needs the Centre Frandly Party

Our manifesto is fully costed

No idea why you are getting so mad about it mein frandelino. There is no chance this time round of a Labour majority government unfortunately. He could have grossly underestimated round trips to Mars in there for all the likelihood that it will be enacted.

To say you want to see someone die from a heart attack so the poorest people continue to suffer is pretty poor form on a public forum though. It´s not like he´s down the pub with his mates after 5 pints when he types that.

Of course, we shouldn't wish people to have heart attacks, or be shot or whatever.

Ah yes, pure spite because I’m tired of fantasy budgets being stuck together by ideological dreamers. We are about to be condemned to another 5 years of utter crap because the best the main opposition can come up with is the equivalent of a 5 year olds letter to Santa.

I’ll quote from another part of McDonnells Magnum Opus, this time on Electric cars:

‘ With a rough assumption on the rate of sales needed to reach100% electric sales by 2030, we generously assume half are fleet vehicles and 60% are over £40,000 to get an approximate cost of £165m in 2023-24.’

Rough assumptions, generous assuming and approximate costs are absolutely wham. As much as people were up in arms about the Lib Dem’s puppet on here, the message was absolutely spot on, Labour have no grip on reality and this grey book absolutely shows it.
