Well, that is what you think the Tories will do.
What complete and utter nonsense! I don't know where this idea came from that you can't be poor unless you live in a hut without plumbing and electricity, but it's both intellectually and morally bankrupt. But apparently you didn't "need" the services of state education or welfare, which puts you in exactly the right position to discount the suffering and challenges of others, I'm sure.
The silver lining is the election got loads of traffic for our website and it gave me something to write the leader column on,“In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity to generate traffic to the telegraph through click-bait headlines”

Or what? And BTW: My parents paid top tax and so do I. So I reckon Im fine for using the roads and security.
Im clearly not stupid. I think current labour policy is stupid though. Deal with it.
How? I don't see how this is possible. Right now they have the perfect system:
Ok, so this is getting more interesting. What job did they do?
Big words which mean absolutely nothing. Labour socialism has no relevance in 21st century Britain. Its what makes them unelectable.
no need for you to know.
When you're using the history of your parents as justification for your views it's rather fair to ask. You decided to make it personal.
That's fine, really, but at the same time, you will vote and are therefore co-responsible for hard Brexit, more UK involvement in wars, open hostility against foreigners and muslims, the end of any data privacy, feck off the environment etc. That's okay but stop complaining about the Tories then if you give them the mandate to do so.
Relative vs Absolute poverty. Educate yourself.
Why should I vote Labour? Why shoukd anyone vote labour?
been there done that. Thanks
Surprised to see your political stance in here considering you come across very different in the Trump thread. You would have ended up voting Trump if you apply the same criteria you are using here.
It's odd- after veering towards the right as I started earning in my 20s, through my 30s when I was better off, I kept drifting right. My strong dislike for swathes of the right in the run up to and aftermath of Brexit is pushing me back left...albeit, I couldn't ever be so far left as to back Corbyn's proposed profligacy.
I think you're trying very hard to seek attention and keep getting stuck in a web of your own lies.
What if I don't and again the campaign is won by lies and misinformation?
It's the Dan Hodges school of logic who is currently telling 'Corbynistas' that the GE result and the following 5 years will be their fault, while also voting Tory in it. Or complaining that people are being demonised whilst saying poor people don't exist but if they did they're all lazy assholes who get everything.
not really. What they did has no relevance beyond they worked hard. Seems people on here are scared or incapable of working hard. ie: leave the EU.
Yep, kind of like the mantra that when there's blood on the streets, it's time to invest.
Would you consider the Lib Dems? Give them a think, anyway.
Indeed.
My parents were also immigrants like his and also worked extremely hard but never earned enough to hit the top tax bracket. I'm also curious of what they did as he has been claiming that anyone can do it if they work hard, maybe they came to the country with a skill, which would give them an advantage and puts a dent into his whole argument.
Not only are you stupid, you're ignorant and staggeringly arrogant at the same time.
No its about trying to find a reason why anyone should vote labour. Watch Labour get the lowest ever vote in living memory.
Thanks for that. Im out of this thread.
In fairness, I very much doubt it's their honesty he trusts.
Can't even trust them on whether or not they'll hold an early election
Corbyn's Labour are committed to leaving the single market.
It's hard for me to understand if you hold the basic ideals that would generally have you voting Labour (workers rights, nationalisation, social state and associated taxation, redistribution of wealth, generally secularist) how you could then vote Conservative, who are, by and large, diametrically opposed to those ideals. But I've no idea what drives your voting behaviour and subjective right and wrongs aren't really going to add anything to a dialogue.
I'm more than happy for you to not vote Labour, because I will be and the idea that we share any platform politically is absolutely nauseating.
