Are you saying any of the countries I mentioned have a trade deal with the EU or is your last a simple deflection technique because you don’t actually know what you are talking about?

Apart from Cronus, who puts up a creditable performance, the right wing on here are nothing more than regurgitated gutter press unsubstantiated cliches. Unfortunately, a large amount of the population quote the same.

You lefties are pathetic just pumping out Jeremy’s Marxist clap trap - there is a reason why Socialism doesn’t work and the likes of you are why - you want a better spread of wealth as long as it doesn’t impact your gob in the trough.

It would be very interesting to see how many of the lefties on here who work in businesses solely reliant on the government for their firms’ revenue?

Unlike some, I genuinely have better things to do with my life & don't actually like this sort of thing. This, & the right wing sponsored HYS on the BBC news site, is enough to destroy any faith I have in the English.

I'm probably sounding thick here but what does HYS mean?
At a guess, I'd say Have Your Say but how does that relate to the BBC?

Not me, I've been working in the brutal world of the free market since I started. But then again I'm not a "leftie" so I can't be someone you're referring to.

Are you for or against the following?
The NHS
The armed forces
The minimum wage
State schools
Tax relief for oil and gas companies

Unless you are against them all, you are in favour of state intervention into the free market. You rotten lefty socialist.

So we live in a mixed economy; the incremental level of mix is what is under discussion, not whether we should live in a pure free market or a pure "Marxist" one. And, again, the public is significantly more left wing on these sorts of issues than you seem to think, and certainly more left wing than I am.

Mine doesn't (apart from having to abide by their taxation rules and criteria)

Equally, we could ask whether any of the Tories posting on here are using Tax avoidance schemes or "hiding" some of their wealth off shore, assuming that any of them are old enough to be employed yet.

Deary me. From what I can deduce there is only one regular Labour voter on here & he hasn't been on for a while. But when you read newspapers who supported the Nazis in the 30s & regurgitate their depraved views it's not a surprise. Your lack of awareness & childish cliches are embarrassing. The common link between the most content & happiest countries in the world is that they have strong social democracies. Strange that.

Still waiting for a single example.

Yep. After some articles on the BBC news site there is the Have Your Say section.

Any second now, he's going to use the V word... I can feel it in me nationalised water.
