Like I said, I'm not saying that it may not be the case now just that because it's been said so many times it's hard to gauge if it's truth or rhetoric.

But they have. Most drug and alcohol services are now run by private companies and not the NHS. I would suggest Mental Health services will be next as that's another thing they couldn't care less about.

It's 100% the truth. As usual if you look behind the curtain and do some reading you start seeing who backs who behind the scenes


Donations to our health secretary from think group full of people wanting to abolish the NHS and have people pay for universal health care. The same man who heads this group also heads a group set up to deny climate change.

This is only a single example of the dirty stuff that goes on. Even that ''leaked'' Labour report that that didn't actually say our NHS is for sale actually has the details of drug prices, equipment and the infrastructure around our NHS potentially being up for grabs.

What these bad Tory cowards do is hand wave everything away and pretend it's all some conspiracy whilst firing out catchy slogans and attacking the opposition. Tory voters do the same thing it's the blame game all whilst their leader hides in fridges and ducks interviews that might hold him to account.

In other news (might be old) Here is the Fleetwood Town chairman threatening to withdraw funding from the club if Labour gets in power.

Johnson literally turned up like Pat Mustard this morning
 
How anyone can rationally claim either Boris or Corbyn will make a good PM is completely baffling to me.

Horrendous choices and both unfit for office.

Spot on, the lack of quality in both leaders is shocking

That lack of quality is seen in both cabinet and shadow cabinet as well, and is a shocking indictment of the state of politics in this country. Luckily, there seem to be more exceptions to that rule in the younger members of the shadow cabinet than there is in the Tory equivalent, so, in the medium to long-term, I'm fairly confident about the party's prospects

I havn't a scooby what the result will be tomorrow though

I will say that being able to choose who you want to lead is over thing I like about the States. Even tho you get dipshits like Trump, I'd imagine Boris wouldn't have won if the PM was voted on.
 
hung parliament and subsequent premiership of Corbyn in a few months...one can dream..
 
In a nutshell, some folk have more money than others. Always been the case, always will be.

My suggestion would be that the levers that are available to make the lives of those less fortunate than most, are deployed more intelligently. But its a balance between supporting what some would call the "hard working families", and avoiding what some would call "a lifetime on benefits".

I dont pretend I have the answers, but what I do know is that whatever ones favourite solution is, you need to have a thriving economy, jobs, and stability re interest rates to actually deliver it.

And to take 3 random billionaires, Richard Branson, James Dyson, and Steve Lansdown, all 3 have contributed massively to the GDP/employment/tax take for the UK. Way more than any politician has.
What about the flip side to your argument though? Amazon, Starbucks, Facebook, Google, Phillip Green etc? Do you think it is fair they pay **** all tax, while people starve? While people freeze on the streets with nothing but the potential of a crack rock to soothe them?

the money ain’t trickling down, they are not paying their taxes. That is why this country is [Poor language removed]. The rich [Poor language removed] over everyone else. Not the immigrants, not the “benefit scroungers” but the rich Corporations, and the billionaires.
