I follow Richard J Murphy's videos on YT - he's a very interesting man, a tax expert seemingly motivated by compassion and a desire for informed debate. However I think his position contains contradictions. If all the government had to do to cover it's expenditure is create new money - rather...
Britain hasn't actually had a balanced budget since 1970/71. There is no correlation between a country's debt and it's economic performance- after all the USA is still the biggest and most powerful economy. It is also the world's biggest debtor.
The idea that 'the rich are too rich' is profoundly sinister. In the 1920s in the Soviet Union [then including Ukraine] millions of peasants were murdered on the grounds that they were 'too rich'. Who decides who 'the rich' are ? Who decides who is 'too rich' ? Will hammering them with...
You are correct. Trying to out Farage Farage is not the path that the Labour Party should be following. Some of these back benchers are panicking bedwetters. Labour needs to get inflation and interest rates down, get signs of real growth in the economy and some tangible improvement in the NHS.
Someone actually asked Farage which decade he would live in if he had the choice. He immediately replied 'the 1950s'. You can see why from his perspective - far fewer non white faces, women in the kitchen [or bedroom] gay people not visibly existing at all. Keith Richards summed up the 50s...

I had a mate who did some building work for him years ago. He said he was fine. If you do work for him and do a good job there's no problem.. similarly if you are a tenant and pay your rent -- no problem. Only a problem if you give him grief.
Not possible - or desirable. The Us is the most important country in the world - financially, militarily and culturally. The last time America isolated itself from the rest of the world in the 1930s it didn't end so well.
I share your father's dislike of this brainless gobsh1te who did so much to keep Thatcher in power. Him and the other deluded insurrectionist Scargill.
Typical lefty - no coherent argument so resort to personal insult. Your intellect - and world view- are rather under developed aren't they ? I'm a social democratic Labour Party member - not a Trumpist As for your advice - insert into appropriate orifice.
Here's a fact - not an opinion. If the manager of any other premier league club had lost six games in a row he would be sacked. So why is this guy still at our club ? I'm genuinely mystified.
