Labour and the magic tree

[festive]

So anyway have you all missed me? Enjoyed a mini tour to my favourite places in Europe and beyond

Well a few surprises i have to say, first of all Fatboyslim Watson fck me i wondered why he was sitting there with a faasand yard stare so many times lately on the front benches, and now of course it is obvious. #
The irony of course is the lefty school kids on here are always on about LIES, they are always always tory based of course!! But no those blinkers don't allow them to look at the home team, well or any other team other than the enemies idiotic, biased blinkered pesky kids.

Anyway onto the magic tree..

So what do we have hmm how about re-nationalise railways and royal mail.
Royal mail, they've always been sh't slow and run like hm a company from the 1970's. And what about railways and the unions uhoh. And how about 200billion to restore them. Isn't that close to what we manage to collect each year from our hard working brits in taxes?

Hmm how about NHS, labour plan to remove the private elements, yeah eradicate the diseased elements, but wait is it that straight forward, according to a few of my friends it really isn't, and it really isn't the main issue or cause.

Thats alot of cash right there already without a 4 day week significant handouts to everyone else, opening the NHS up to most of Asia and the middleast to health tourists awesome.

And fck knows what will happen if they ever overcome enough internal fighting to put up a peoples vote, or actually decide to Brexit.


Lets see how many of the kids jump on here ignore my first para and instantly start firing their peashooters at me this remember wasnt just a knee touching lie or a domestic row with said partner no... who wants to go first and talk about Why Watson has gone. JohnD you wanna start young lad.?

I’m finding it a bit odd, as some labour politicians are telling people to vote conservative?

Where are your fav places of Europe that you visited?
Of course I missed you

Im not sure what to make of Labours manifesto really, I cant help thinking its been a case of kids in a candy store -it seems like a wish list of everything they want to achieve.

Personally I think they should have picked a few key areas, like say privatise the railways, do something to reduce poverty, food banks etc, put investment into the North etc.

Weirdly both Conservatives and Labour seem to be choosing big spends -both need a forest of money trees.

Britain's public finances worse than Gambia, Uganda and Kenya, because of privatisation, IMF finds

"Britain’s underlying public finances are among the worst in the world, behind the Gambia, Uganda and Kenya, a new study has concluded.

International Monetary Fund (IMF) economists found that £1 trillion had been wiped off UK public sector net wealth since the 2008 financial crisis, largely thanks to bank bailouts and increasing pension liabilities.

The IMF looked at the assets and liabilities of 31 countries and found the UK was in a worse position than every other country apart from Portugal....

When public assets are taken into account, selling a public utility, for example, may do nothing to improve the public finances, the IMF said.

“For instance, privatisations increase revenue and lower deficits but also reduce the government’s asset holdings,” the report stated.

“Similarly, cutting back maintenance expenditure reduces the deficit and lowers debt, but also reduces the value of infrastructure assets, which could cost more in the long term.”


In other words, if you hold services in public hands, you have assets...

Other countries have worked this out...

That's why our assets are mainly in foreign hands!

It does make sense. Owning assets must give greater control because a government cant be blackmailed by private companies -which can provide a poor service at high cost and dont care about failure. Southern rail for example.

And as for "opening the NHS up to most of Asia and the middleast to health tourists", more has been spaffed up the wall on a meaningless 'we're leaving on the 31st October' propaganda campaign and a ferry company without ferries than health tourism costs...

Just to put things in to perspective

I could give the whole teenage 'but you didn't understand my point /rolleyes etc. Anyway i won't..(hint)

You're right i completely agree, i remember little while back my ex gf's father trying to convince me why i should vote labour and pointed out Thatcher and privatisation etc (which at the time really made me think), yes its blindingly obvious and right we should own all our utility and infra companies, my no.1 would be British telecom/OpenRETCH the absolute bottleneck to our global position in todays fiercely competitive markets, the faster we talk and communicate/trade the better right, but no it goes against profit for BT, country second, utter utter facepalm of epic proportions.

My point of course is where is all this cash coming from, that's a lot of rich people they need to rob who will be meanwhile transferring their assets faster than we could ever patch leaks from any one of our privatised water companies.

OK where do i start, southern Italy again usual token near death experience on a roundabout where many just disregard what they are for. Malta has changed so much since my last stay, however i am still pleased to meet many out there who have kept hold of their old Ford escorts and similar, a surprising amount out there in such beautiful condition..


Agree though both are just talking utter bs still, really where is this money coming from, Tories and their pledge to restore the policeforce they obliterated and nhs etc, its all so idiotic.

Not that important oh my god..what's not important Ella? The 200 million they spaffed up the wall silly May spent taking the advice of Watson etc yeah that's nothing really is it. Thats half of what John McDonald pledged on game changing environment improvements for the UK. Let alone all the innocent people who were raided and smeared in the association of this enquiry still those lying Tories deserved it right? Anyway this sort of lying is different isnt it, wanna take those blinkers off? Nah its nothing..

My health tourism blown out of the water yawn.

And what about Ian Austin

And what are the Jewish community gonna do now their only supporter Watson has left..those little castor wheels on the Labour shopping trolley are wobbling like a gooden
