You sound a tad unhinged
What are Andy Burnham's communist policies?

We have been in unhinged communism for many years.

The one and only option is massive cuts to spending,

Massive cuts to spending starting with deportations, as outlined in my plan:

Thread 'Deportation, or as some say - Remigration.'

24 Jan 2026

None of our government's deportatation methods actually involve deporting anybody, it's all just a big con trick. Some time ago I posted my own plan, and here it is again. These are the things that a patriotic goverment should be doing...


1. Decide who is to be deported - I'd say all those who have come here since Blair.
2. Declare an emergency, all normal rules suspended, martial law etc in force. Any dissenters, immigration lawyers and campaigners, protesters, ugly women with blue hair and other left-wing types locked up for the duration.
3. Stop all payments of public money and...

Following this, a great audit of public spending shall be undertaken, Domesday Book style, to assess where public spending is needed, and only then shall it restart, and in a very limited way, the main aim being to pay back the national debt and end public borrowing for good.

No idea what you're waffling on about.

Your hero Fromage, his weakness for money and his pathetic excuses for accepting a bribe.

Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten?

I vastly prefer someone who says the occasional daft thing

Just in case you’d forgotten you’d typed this.

There's probably a thread about it here somewhere.

This isn't it though.

When you can't attack the argument, attack the person making it.

Textbook lefty stuff.

We have the biggest state ever. Burnham wants to make it much bigger, to run and control everything.

He won't, because he can't, because we don't have any money. We're so deeply in debt that anyone suggesting increasing government spending by £1 will make the bond markets explode, causing a spiral of debt we can't afford. We don't have a choice now, socialism/marxism/communism or whateverism it's called these days simply isn't an option that's available to us.

The one and only option is massive cuts to spending, hopefully allowing tax cuts that will increase economic activity, hopefully eventually undoing the severe damage that's been done in the last couple of years.

Text book lefty stuff

There was no attack, you Reform types are such snowflakes.

We had massive cuts from 2010 onwards, and look where it got us. The roads are ruined, NHS ruined, police stations closed, police numbers cut, libraries closed, youth centres closed, border security cut, and guess what, at the same time the national debt more than doubled (partly my fault I admit because I voted Tory).

And all you unhinged dunderheads decided in 2016 that it would be an amazing idea to make it really costly and bureaucratic to trade with our geographically closest and largest group of importers and exporters.

It's not the fault of left wing or right wing policy that this country is up the spout, it's the result of short term incoherent economic policy, which is what we will get in abundance with extra corruption, if the ignorant electorate vote in con-man Farage and his ex-Tory degenerates.

I didn't say he's a witch.

Unless you're living under a rock, you'll be aware that he's very pro-big government, in fact anti-free market. Communism.

Having government regulations is a good thing, i'd say. It prevents public utilities being swindled out of taxpayers money and avoids huge amounts being transferred overseas at the whim of private investors.

You need to go back further. The cuts were needed due to the massive spending from 2000 onwards, when Blair and Brown started bribing no-hopers to vote for them using money we didn't have.

The tories attempted to make some much needed cuts but chickened out just as they got going. They were on the right path, but the commie BBC and others demanded more of the borrow-to-spend nonsense we'd got used to.

If public spending was cut massively tomorrow then the UK would instantly become solvent, we're almost insolvent at the moment so are paying punishing bond yields. As soon as the markets sense that we have a competent government then the amount paid in interest by the government on its debt will fall instantly, just based on the same sentiment that is currently charging us punishing amounts due to the incompetence of our current leaders.

Make cuts, save on interest, then start cautiously spending some of those savings on public services. Don't just spew money on crap then complain when there's none left and the world markets won't lend you any more.
