Why do Corbyn supporters block answers to their posts? Instant block in return.

Is it because someone told her they were called “Patriots”? & doled out sparingly to Trump sycophants only at £2,000,000 each?

The Tories want a return to Thatcherite 'Free Market Economics'. Have they not learnt anything from the banking collapse and the LIBOR scandal? "Let the market regulate itself" said Thatcher. So the banks played 'Russian Roulette' with people's money and betted on the Sub Prime Mortgage scandal.

Interesting that the Tory conference feted the Bayeux tapestry, whose original celebrated th invasion of the dastardly French, in a thousand small boats filled with young men of fighting age, speaking a foreign language, who trounced, colonised & exploited the valiant indigenous English. Irony +++

Kemi Badenoch said today on TV that people who aren’t a resident of the UK should pay for using THE NHS yet her mother came to the UK to have her and left THE UK without paying anything for the care she got, ONE RULE FOR HER AND ANOTHER RULE FOR THE REST

This is just semantics - how you choose to define words. Probably only Alfred the Great & his folk of Wessex were “English”. All the north-east was Danish - the Danelaw. Certainly the Celtic bits were never “English”. We could redefine it as “Born & raised in England” if you like.

What we need is automated moor & woodland watch during droughts using towers, drones, satellite, AI, a dedicated WILDFIRE line, properly resourced & equipped fire service, with volunteer & army backup with helis and water trucks Early response is the key. Need not cost much if organised & automated

The Greens have gone where Labour would have gone if so many had not stayed to fight the anti-Semitic entryists Jeremy Corbyn's leadership empowered. To his immense and eternal credit, Keir Starmer drove the racists away.

As long as you don’t insist on the absolute right to cheat in women’s sports or wave it about in girls changing rooms, nobody would care a jot. Gender preference and presentation is a personal choice & could be well accepted as are same-sex relationships & all varieties of LGBQ nowadays.

“The poorest will bear the brunt” But what is a “brunt”? The word “brunt” dates back to Middle English, originally meaning a sudden blow or impact (as in a charge or attack). Over time, it came to mean the heaviest part of any attack, shock, or burden—which is how we use it today.

Taxes: Remember 1973? “Purchase Tax” was levied on goods deemed "luxurious". Items like silk, perfume, cosmetics, furs, and expensive cars were targeted, while essentials like children's clothing were exempt. The tax started at 33.33% and eventually rose as high as 100% on certain items.‌‌‌ Again?

A successsful ageing society should be measured by how it collectively shoulders the burden of dependency and also, how well it extends the years of independence and wellness. If Burnham is serious about social care, that is the long-term question be ask. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Apparently the nation is bankrupt and we can't afford to fund pensioners heating bills this winter. Once again we're being asked to bare the brunt of the Rich Man's games, but will they ever be taxed like the rest of us? Andy Burnham, with a sad smile, says 'No' "There's simply no money" says […]

Healey Budget? Radical? Socialist?New Burnhamism? Manchester Magic? My guess is steady as she goes, no new unpopular taxes, kick all the new stuff down the road for two years, big promises to Trump for military expansion - er, soon. Plus a few populist twiddles. & hope for better times to come.

The demographics of the boomer years versus the low fertility rate nowadays means there must be more older, sicker folk & less taxpayers to support them. This makes tax rises inevitable. The obvious solution is immigration of enough young active workers, & to stop fussing about their skin tone.

The solution to NEETS is to guarantee all YP a paid useful job, created if necessary, with a strong component of training. UC only if medically unfit for any work. Use for Care work, forestry, solar installation, insulation etc. Costly, but consider the alternatives. Eg massive savings in crime.

A YP who is bright enough, educated enough and supported by parentscan opt for university & get 3 years of training, loans & accommodation to better themselves. Those who can’t go to uni can’t find jobs or housing & have to somehow live off parents or survival funding for years. How is this fair?

“Jobs for all NEETS” is a cruel fantasy. The total of vacancies is below the no of NEETS, & most demand skills or experience. In deprivation areas there can be 26 applicants for every job. So how can we blame YP for not being employed yet? & deny them funds to exist while they search & hope?
