He said it would be paid for by more tax on big business. That's the Labour answer to everything but he never seems to consider that if you increase the tax on big business it takes it's business abroad and you end up with less. It's a concept he never appears to grasp.

On Question time there was some embittered vixen from the Scottish Green party with a mouth like a cat's arse, some commie Corbynite MP called Chris Williams with an even more embittered outlook (who stated quite firmly to much derison, boos and hoots of laughter that Corbyn would make the best PM in history!!! :laughing:) and some woman from the SNP. All evening they were sniping and spitting fury at 'rich people' whatever that means. Their indoctrinated hatred was obvious YET their solution to every problem was that the rich should be made to pay for everything. Does anyone ever ask them what happens when either the super rich bugger off or the simply wealthy are taxed until they have nowt? Whose going to chuck into their begging bowls then?

Why do you watch that sh*t? Don’t folk understand that in order for an economy to succeed we need to encourage business and entrepreneurs. These politician loons are playing the blame game and the lowest possible denominator - they should be encouraging the expansion of wealthy individuals and families.

What is wrong with being rich, and with inheritance? Send the lefty loons to Cuba / Venezuela.

Barbara Castle Way has finally been completed 50 years from the drawing board and this is the result......

“Barbara Castle Way acts as a barrier to access to the town centre in Blackburn that everyone feels."

Whenever are the citizens of BwD going to bin off this godawful Labour ruling councile? Each local election is the best example of turkeys voting for Christmas that I know.

Maybe they should focus on improving public transport.

Whilst they are spending ££££ on consultants reports I will put my two’penneth in and propose renaming Barbara Castle Way as Krankyville Way in honour of Katie Hollern MP and all she does for Blackburn.

A complimentary bus pass free to every household who pays their council tax within 2 months of the demand being sent out. Might avoid buses running around empty all day plus avoid some town centre congestion and encourage more shoppers to come in to Blackburn centre.

The only places I ever visit in Blackburn are:

Ewood Park
Clog & Billycock
Outdoor Action
The fish stall on Blackburn Market
Nationwide Bank
King George’s Hall for The Classics

Do you think the Council would provide me with my own bus? o_Oo_Oo_O

BTW: I was thinking of wearing my Israel football shirt the next time I go to the market for my kippers and to the bank - will I be safe?

I thought Barabara Castle was still alive. Many thanks to the LT for informing me she is in fact dead. I would rather donate for a statue of Simon Garner.

Died ages ago. Why you didn't hear maybe was because she never lived in the town. Rather put a statue up for Simon Garner BB? Goes without saying. Personally speaking I'd rather donate for a statue of Steve bloody Kean!

Anyway this is the 3rd attempt so who will keep the dosh when this fails? I can't see many of our muslim cousins putting their loose change into a collecting tin for Castle that's for sure .... all their collecting tins are to build mosques and fund Hamas aren't they? Truth is they more than anyone should fund it given the favours that sector of society got from her in her continual mission to 'curry' favour with them and buy votes!

Castle was just another hypocrite eager to keep their snouts in the public trough! No idea why people close their minds and refuse to see it. A strident voice for voting OUT in the 1975 referendum but within 4 years she had retired as Blackburn MP and was on the Euro gravy train sitting as an MEP Brussels! Obvious that her entire career was all about making as much money as possible and once she saw the rewards for Euro MEP's and the ratio to work she kicked Blackburn into touch.


From Wiki...
"Despite her
Eurosceptic stance, less than a month after leaving Westminster at the 1979 general election she stood for and was elected to the European Parliament, writing in the Tribune that "politics is not just about policies: it is about fighting for them in every available forum and at every opportunity." In 1982 she wrote in the New Statesman that Labour should abandon its opposition to British membership of the EEC, saying that Britain should fight its corner inside it.[11] This led her former ally Ian Mikardo to say to her: "Your name is mud".[12]
She represented Greater Manchester North from 1979–1984, and was then elected for another five years to represent Greater Manchester West from 1984–1989. She was, at that time, the only British MEP to have held a cabinet position.
In the European Parliament Castle led Labour's delegation, serving as vice-chair of the Socialist Group and as a member of the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development and also the Delegation for relations with Malta.


No comparison and certainly no such U turns with St Margaret that's for sure! Where's the collecting tins for her?

I am sure (not) the Blackburn Labour Party ring fenced and invested the previous collections wisely and these are going towards this latest pie (pig) in the sky idea.

:D:D:D:D:D
