Aren't we the 5 biggest economy in the world ? yet we have Third World standards of health, education and infrastructure ? The Money is somewhere, instead of quantative easing and giving that money to the bankers that ruined the country, we spent that cash on better services and infrastructure? just a thought.
You ******s earning over £100,000 a year should pay some tax though. You can’t just raise tax regressively from the unfortunate Brexiteers on low wages or benefits.

I agree, the banks got off lightly after the crash and all the help they had. Then they all have this great idea to shut all the branches down

Think you'll find I'm lower end but would still reverse a couple of tax cuts to help the NHS and Police. Say what you mean though eh !!!

how come people always rave about the NHS, unless making a political point then its shit? probably need to see some real third world to make such comparison. also need to understand QE isnt free cash, it buy back of bonds. if you spent the same cashdirect into the economy inflation would go through the roof in a couple of years.
if we want more public service, we all need to pay more taxes, simple message that isnt wildly popular as some would like. Corbyn and McDonnell are beyond just increasing taxes 5p, they are unashamed hard line socialist that believe in the state ownership and control of production and property. that seems like a good idea, but we've seen every time its tried it goes very, very wrong for everyone.

The desperation of people like you to have us go to war with everyone really is incredible. Do you love war that much

Try reading the manifesto. It was entirely coasted as opposed to the Tory one.

Where do you get the idea that Corbyn is extreme left?

I haven't been to many countries in the Third World, but I have been to Gambia and Senegal, and have been on a coach tour of the wealthiest and safest parts of the capital cities. And if you genuinely think that you would take your wife and children to Gambia or Senegal if they needed healthcare, or you wanted to improve their schooling, or they had better buildings and transport systems; then you would be a fool. No offence.
Might I suggest you visit these countries before making the move? Take a look at the people. The skeletally thin look may appear healthy to some, but in reality it isn't. Especially when it's caused by lack of food, especially in Senegal which doesn't have the river. Would a university lecturer be working as a tourist guide in his off hours, if the education and infrastructure was so good?

I find it always pays to read the post that I'm replying to before posting.
Maybe, it is something to do with his Soviet sympathising over the years. Maybe it has something to do with his admiration of Maduro socialism in Venezuela. Maybe because I am rather suspicious of the people who are his chief advisers, such as Seamus Milne, Andrew Murray (and relatives!) and Len McCluskey.Maybe because of proposals such as the Lifetime Tax. Maybe because his wannabe Chancellor has a stated aim of wanting to bring about the downfall of Capitalism and maybe because , the same fellow was sacked by Ken Livingstone for being too left wing! Maybe because the likes of Corbyn and McDonnell are driven by some outdated ideology that would, in all likelihood,. bankrupt the country. Maybe because many decent and moderate Labour politicians are horrified that the hard left and Momentum have taken over the party.etc.etc.
On a slightly different tack, I would also fear for the security of this country with Corbyn as P.M. and I am sure that the security service chiefs would feel the same way. I don't believe he has the leadership, managerial or intellectual qualities to be leader of the Opposition, let alone P.M.He had been a rebellious backbench MP for the whole of his political career and regarded as a nobody, until, to 'widen the choice' in the Labour Party leadership contest the likes of Frank Field nominated him to run. Wow, what a disaster that turned out to be. The £3 Labour Party gang piled in and hey presto, Jezza became leader! Sadly, the result is that when the Tory party is in a shambles, there is no decent opposition to takes its place.It is surely a fact, that had Labour elected a decent moderate, instead of 'Magic Grandpa', they would be way ahead in the polls. The British public do not like hard left or hard right politics and that is the reason why Corbyn and his dangerous Chancellor have failed to gain the traction any reasonable Opposition party should.
I am no politico and I have put down a few random thoughts; no doubt an 'enthusiast' could do a far more polished job, than me!

Fantastic post mate.
Couldn’t agree more with everything you say.

The money is in a near 2 trillion pound debt one of the worlds biggest rising at the rate of £5170 a second.We may have a big economy but that doesn't mean where rich or have money to spare.Surprised how people never mention the debt and just moan about cuts and needing to spend more.

This is all true and concerning. It does not detract, however, from the soppiness of the original post. We sadly have more than enough reasons for not voting labour right now, so there is no need to spin a fantasy narrative.

So, currently, the Government policy of austerity is not working then? Let's have MORE austerity then until it works.
