Tell him bollocks you're a c*ntFFS my old man must let slip he's voting Tory
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
I'm looking for the video of that senior police officer criticising May's cuts to police numbers last week - can anyone help?
Yeah I found a recent piece by the IFS which is good - https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/9207That was the coalition, not the Tories themselves
I dunno, but like-for-like comparisons must be difficult, given the vagaries of economic growth and corporate profitability in different years. If you have a year, for example, where both say Vodafone and RBS have multi-billion pound writedowns, that must hit in the tax intake?
So we're actually taking in about the same level of onshore receipts now as we were in 2010, but external factors have played a big part in this and isn't representative. Also clear though that funding the bulk of your ambitious (to say the least) spending programme through a tax like this is dangerous and likely to result in a funding shortfall.
Both my parents voted Tory. My dad basically just said they're all dishonest and 'well this area is a Tory stronghold anyway'. My mum just said she likes what she heard about Labour's manifesto but she didn't think it would happen and wasn't keen on Corbyn as a leader.
I think labour would have had a chance if it wasn't for that daft woman making them look like a complete joke. Still, hope I'm wrong.
An increase in VAT at a time when inflation is creeping up would be an assault on the poor and a struggling high street.
Brilliant, ta mate.
Jokes on him. It turns out the real reason is that the people in this country have too many rights.
Nice deflection, great comment, feck the discussion eh, you know best, basically like all left wing social media, hyperbole all the way. Counter terrorism needs more funding not police on the street, look at the crime rates, the ones that new labour defined. I'm not fighting for anyone, the only thing that I challenge is the stupid assumptions that people like you mate.
This deserved a
That's a three month measurement ffs- we were top last year. Looking at quarterly or even annual figures is pretty short-termist in economic terms in all honesty. Wait til Brexit comes along...
Fair point in many ways, but it kind of reminds me of my in-law's family and how they keep praying at the holy lake, basically asking Ganesh(?) for money. Despite the fact they never get any weird windfalls, they keep doing it in blind faith.
I dunno if we're attracting them to 'temporarily set up shop' tbh- with the likes of Nissan, we want them to stay committed post-Brexit, for example, same with the banks.
We do have skews in our economy, but not sure about the classes of companies missing that you mention:
-Car manufacturing- we don't have large manufacturers any more, they were squeezed out. We do have large manufacturing plants though, eg Ford and Nissan, and expertise in specialist areas like F1.
-Large tech: The companies you mention -Apple/Microsoft/Google/(you could add in Amazon and Netflix, I guess) are virtual monopolies and no other European country has a direct rival. All I can think of to put in that bracket is Alibaba, Tencent and Samsung in Asia.
-The internet: We do actually have some good tech companies, eg computer games companies and biotech in both Old Street area ('silicon roundabout' and M4 corridor).
-Computers: Yeah we have little- Sage is one example. Sony has made massive losses in something like five of the last seven years!
Some of our largest companies are formerly state-owned. Most aren't though, eg Barclays. HSBC, Vodafone etc...
Yeah, Labour have had a reasonable campaign apart from Diane Abbott. She doesn't instil anyone with confidence.
She is very much out of her depth to the point where I feel sorry for her, and that isn't a good thing to feel towards a politician..
That's why I said the whole VAT regime needs reviewing.
Yeah those external factors, eg raising income tax and VAT, will naturally push down corporation tax's overall percentage input. They make a good point about things beyond government's control, such as the oil price too. It goes to show how little control a government has over vast swathes of the economy, eg currency, oil price, ECB stinging backs with charges on deposits etc...
Wow, Murdoch is really shitting himself.
I’ve admittedly moved further left, from being somewhat centre left in the last few years since the 2015 GE, so I know I’m biased in that regard.
I’m just not convinced it’s going to be so cut and dry on election night, I have faith in my fellow young voters to get out there and put pen to paper.
I know there is a lot of people out there like me, in a similar situation to me and most importantly wants to have their say.
Call it delusion or just blind bias but I’d love to be proven right.

Both my own parents and the inlaws will vote Tory. Mine aren't the smartest and a bit racist, hers are typical southerners and don't understand why since im on decent wage id vote Labour.
I'll probably buy them both Das Capital if Corbyn wins just to rub it in.
Wait are Jihadis communists now too?
He's also a pacifist, don't forget.
Worse, Corbynites.
I just think there's too many older "shy Tory" voters.
Then there's the UKIP voters who are desperate for their special kind of Brexit.
People are definitely underestimating the level of shy Tory cnuts. Saying that, I'd admit it is rather hard to imagine how shy you'd have to be to get out of bed and vote to lose human rights as well as condemn the most vulnerable to another 5 years of this shower of bastards.
Muslamic socialist liberals.
Is Communism compatible with Islam? That's an interesting one.
Tory 'strong and stable' advertising van overturns in the wind

Leveson 2 would have him back in front of the inquiry.
This one is way beyond party politics, the tabloids are fighting tooth and nail to be able to abuse free speech to their hearts content and never be held to account.
Anyone gonna vote for their beliefs without being influenced by papers, experts or institutions?
No one has invented a robocop party yet
No, he just cut himself shaving.
Daily Mail is a scum newspaper.
I'm not sure the older Tory voters are the shy ones tbh. People overlook the fact that a significant number, albeit a minority of 18-24 year olds, did vote Brexit.
Do love the fact the lead story is DM comment, ie they can't actually make a genuine news story out of it.Ah, the ladder to senility.I'm not sure the older Tory voters are the shy ones tbh. People overlook the fact that a significant number, albeit a minority of 18-24 year olds, did vote Brexit.
Jesus, the mail and the sun are full of desperarion.
