That old saying was one of St Margarets.

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
― Margaret Thatcher

She should have added "the problem with the electorate is that many can't remember events for more than a decade at best."

Thatcher ended up with dementia. She'd also forgotten or never realised that tax income doesn't belong to "other people", it belongs to the government to spend as it wishes, whether it be money for the underfunded NHS or tax breaks for billionaires.

With regards to your previous post; no, I won't be going to Ewood Park on Saturday. I have no interest in sport at all (although my partner is an avid Rovers fan).

My job on here is to keep the loony right wing honest.

There’s only one loony round here pal!

Thatcher ended up with dementia.

Many people do. Whether they do or not has nothing to do whether they are good or bad, smart or not.

I hope you and all that read this avoid dementia. But if you suffer from it, now or later, I will not think less of you.

Serious topic I know Steve but to be a little frivolous ,,,,,, I already couldn't think less of him!

Oh!..... and his err partner. At this point and unless we get more information I shall refer to said partner as 'Doris'.

I agree that BK appears to have lost the plot long ago. If he isn’t a Rovers supporter I wonder what attracted him to this site.

Just watching Marr on catch up .

Angela Rayner , the Shadow Education Secretary is starring . I can’t make up my mind who’d be a bigger embarrassment if the anti- semite Momentum Labour Party formed a minority government with the rabid Scottish Nationalists . Dianne Abbott who can’t do basic maths or this woman who can’t speak basic English.

Tough choice !!!

I can imagine Angels'a CV........ Im currantly the shadow educashun secritary. I got a bun in the oven at 15 and had to leave skoo and so i never took a proper exam or anythin els like that. I became a carer then secritary of a union cold unison.
I like walkin particularly on marches and demos and my ambition is to be prime minister.

Hardly the best preparation for high office I'd suggest. She would indeed do herself a big favour by having some elocution lessons.


As for the interview Marr made her look and sound stupid.

Sturgeon doing the Conservatives another favour, insisting Trident be scrapped as part of any deal with Corbyn

Very funny !

I remember another interview when she said if it hadn’t been for New Labour’s benefits system , having a bun in the oven at 15 would have prevented her from achieving ‘ high office ‘ - not exactly her words but I’m sure you get the drift .

What a complete and utter waste of my tax pounds . I feel the same as Benjy of this parish , the non- sporting , non - Rovers supporter whose partner is an avid Rovers fan . He posted that he wanted a refund of some of his tax when Theresa May was hopping across to the EU . I’m with you on this Benjy ! Spend our tax pounds wisely or give us a refund !

Labour's obsession with nationalisation is having effects already.
Energy companies moving offshore and placing ads on Facebook, informing people that their pensions will be hit as many pension funds hold shares in these corporations.

Crackpot Corbyn and John MaoDonald’s multi million pound public sector pensions will be OK though - our taxes fund them and will continue to fund them until they’re 6 feet under.

The problem with socialism...........

Oh dear. It sounds as if the fat cats in the boardrooms are seriously worried.

How will they be able to rake in their multimillion pound share options and salaries when these public utilities are back in public ownership (where they belong)?

Classic right wing tactics. Scare the less educated into voting for the status quo.

I wonder who benefits from that?

Surely she is a joke, she’s as thick as pig sh*t. Who appointed her a shadow secretary, oh my word!

What with her and Abbott anyone voting for Corbyns shower must be a total cretin.

 

[Drog]

People like her and Abbott are so thick that they don't actually realise it.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I posted a similar point on the other forum which appears to have been hidden as it doesn’t fit the left wing bias there! I’ve posted a complaint, let’s see if I get a reply.

If you go on here I trust you make your signature is a straightforward link to here. We could do with some new blood.

Just watched Andrew Neill interview Nicola Sturgeon. Have to say I sort of felt sorry for her , she was so far out of her depth it was embarrassing.

Taken to the cleaners on the performance of Scotland’s NHS , a confirmatory referendum on a future Scottish referendum, Scotland’s huge deficit and use of the pound when outside the UK monetary union .

The Scots should have the good sense to see off this rabid nationalist

There is racism in all political parties and across society as a whole but reading this helps understand why Labour has such a massive problem and is being investigated by the EHRC .

I believe their report is due to come out in January. Just imagine if Labour wins the election or forms a minority government and is then found to be an institutionally racist party . That would be shameful for the UK and its citizens

On your recommendation I’ve just watched the episode and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Corbyn tonight, can’t wait!
