We haven't seen "socialism" in power in this country since the Atlee government brought about the NHS and the nationalisation of the utilities and major industries, vasty. I presume you were born after all these came about and just took them for granted. Any "Socialist" government since Atlee's have just been thinly disguised Tories.

Where socialists get this sense of entitlement from is beyond me. Life is hard live with it or better still why don't they sell there house give up theirs holidays abroad and give the money to the poor? Mhmm thought not.

Actions speak louder than word and Corbyn and co have a Gamdi complex just minus the sacrifice of course.

At least the Tories have the decency to admit they are greedy self serving parasites. Labour are so self righteous they actually kid themselves and the gullible that they arn't.

I'm sure I'm offending a fair few but that's my opinion and I believe free speach does still just about exist in this horrible country of ours.

It certainly won't if Corbyns Stazi get in .

Big sigh

All this , look at other backward countries and think yourselves lucky crap annoys me. I personally don't give a sheite about them because all they know is fighting amongst themselves and living in squalor, always got enough finances to feed their armies but not their people. Charity starts at home, whoever is in power, there's not much between them by the way, needs to remember it.

Reading some of the post's on this particular thread, can someone please explain to me why most of the rest of the worlds population are trying [legally or illegally] to get into the UK. I can only think of one thing, the UK is one of the best countries in the world to live in.

Re: O T : Sat Sep 30, 2017 2:42 pm  

For me its about being in the loop. If you have worked all your life you get hammered because the none loopers at both ends of society contribute sweet F A , and quite often the top earners contribute nothing like they should . The system will never change the masses in the middle will always absorb the brunt. Don't get me wrong I have no problem with paying my share ( I don't have an option ) and because I realise that fact and have no chance of changing things. I and millions like me just get on with it.

Re: O T : Sun Oct 01, 2017 9:31 am  

Of course there is poverty in the UK, people can play ostriches as much as they want, walk round any big city and even towns and there are people with sleeping bags, in Normy itself we have up to three big issue sellers at times. If there is no poverty why does every city have food banks? Why do supermarkets have boxes/trollies to donate to. Why have we got food waste supermarkets? There is poverty and anyone who thinks there isn't needs their lumps feeling.

Any help would be great . Thanks

Please remember the point of the thread. Lampy was asking for help.
We don't need another political argument thread. You'll never convince each other. Leave it alone.

It is a site policy, or just a mod policy, to stifle political debates? It seems churlish to prevent people having the conversation - what harm can it do?!
