Why are there two threads on the labour party now? Shouldn't they be merged or would that make uly huffy?

Depends.

 

I can post information on Irish corruption on either.

What an effeminate PM we have.

Man crosses legs = effeminate = bad.

Another addition to your lists of utterly nonsensical posts. How about the fat man next to him slathered in make up and hair dye wearing a corset?

Men shouldn't cross their legs.

Not keen on him but have to say Starmer came across very well this morning.

He's handled the Ukrainian situation well and actually sounded like a leader.

Another 1.6 billion of our money to Europe's number one gangster. I'm sure Keir has a zip on the back of his head. 

 

Apparently we are skint though and tax increases are on the horizon.

Plenty money for other countries wars though.

We just have to suck it up and let our pensioners know it’s for the greater good.

Don't normally back the guy but agree with the PM when is comes to tackling the out of control welfare bill. Check the increase in PIP claiments especially for mental health. Far too many are working the system and it needs addressed.

It's almost like there wasn't a pandemic that had huge negative impacts on people's mental health, that's not to say there aren't people gaming the system - I predict this will trend downwards over the next couple of years...

I think the whole mental health thing is overplayed generally. People think having a tough or challenging life period equals a diagnosis. I think the majority of those mental health claims are chancers.

An opinion that you are entitled to hold...however, I really can't agree with it in the round.

Chancers? Undoubtedly there are some (lots?)

Depending on your past mental health experience tough or challenging periods can tip you over the edge.

As always shades of grey rather than black or white...

Just my opinion and very plausible given the sharp uptake. I assume people are allowed to voice opinions on discussion boards?

You most certainly are, I was simply enquiring as to what has led you to such.

 

You seem rather defensive.

Punching down on benefits claimants - many/ most of whom are in jobs already - is easy but wrong. The gap between the rich and the rest of us is growing. Tax the rich and give the rest of us fair wages, a reduced working week, better pensions and better working conditions.

Fantasy land. A reduced working week would require a fair percentage of the lazy ****s to get out their beds and actually do some work in the first place. Better pensions! Well you have about 40 years to get yourself sorted so take at least come responsibility for getting yourself sorted. Better working conditions! FFS, we can't get folk to come into their offices as they prefer skiving at home despite offering free parking, free tea & coffee, discounted canteen, WiFi and loads of other benefits. Younger folk, or at least a  decent amount of them, don't accept the premise of having to work at all. If they can be bothered working, they don't like taking instruction, they don't like and can't accept criticism and when things get tough, they just prefer walking away.

Taxing the rich is just a cop out and levelling down. Encourage youngsters to aim high and get a good work ethic. Stop being so jealous and petty about others and get on with your own life.

Great posting. He seems to like " punching up" taking for those who earned their crust the hard way...by hard graft.

Why do right wingers always whinge about free speech when someone doesn't agree with them? Everyone is free to post whatever they want, as long as they don't go against the forum rules.

Hardly. We just lack the political will. Why don't the rich face austerity? Try not buying that extra house or yacht instead of laying off workers?

 

Saw this last week re Denmark. Not socialism but a damn sight more progressive - and more productive and happier - than we are. Surely we can aspire to similar, at the very least?

Aspire to what? Going outside and having family dinners? Or are you specifically focused in the 33 hour average working week?

Convince me it's not a good thing to have a healthy and happy lifestyle, better wages, better public services and more time for your family or whatever else you choose to do.

 

Have pals in Denmark and have been across a few times. It's a fantastic place. What's not to like?

I don't understand the relevance of the link you posted though. 

 

We could work 33 hours a week on average in the UK and you'd still need to put a gun to folk's heads to get them outside in winter.

Is English a second language for you?

 

Where in my post did i suggest he can't post, and please do point out my right wing posts.

 

Are you being the forum policeman again.

 

Thank God you got rejected as a mod. 😆

I was agreeing with your post to Gerry, someone I think you will agree is fairly right wing; plus his backup by jjj.
