Just been listening to Corbyn, who was not talking about his love of Marx or the IRA, and his intended romance with Putin, but instead was targeting people like Mike Ashley.
I must be living in a parallel universe because I thought this was effectively the 2nd Brexit referendum.

TBH though Tash, Maggie did that to many industries and Chatham Dockyard where both my dad and wife’s dad worked was one of them. Thousands of jobs lost not only directly but indirectly as well. Unfortunately the control by the unions over the Labour Party has also been just as bad, giving Maggie her fuel and lately the current leader.

This ^^^^ all day long. Look at Labour in Scotland, dead. Why, because the electorate has a genuine opposition in the form of SNP. (Even if they cannot accept democracy as well). Look at the UK as a whole, we have the Torys. Not exactly covering themselves in glory. For me the Unions, and in my case NUM and UDM have when it comes to the top table done nothing but look after them selves. They are the root of the problems within the Labour Party. Too much money = to much sway.
Again though BM as I say. With the history of Maggie, DC, TM, Boris, History. The state of this country. Why are Labour/JC not smashing the Torys. I honestly believe that were JC not the captain of the Titanic/ Labour. They would have a very good chance of beating the Tories.

OMG I said this the other day. Labour should have won last time and didn't. A much better (charismatic) Tory leader in place now. Labour? No chance. Corbins last hurrah.

Watch out for Yvette Cooper (where's she gone?) to come out of the woodwork after Labour get beat (thrashed).

Part of the issue of why Labour isn’t “smashing” them is some of their policies are seen as going backwards, regardless of whether they are good for the Country or not, society has moved on.
The other issue is the media, just look at this forum and the amount of times the JC/Terrorist line is dragged out.
You are very supportive of the Armed Forces, without googling, could you tell me what the Labour Party policy is on the Armed Forces?

Hate caravans personally, just accept they are there and thousands upon thousands get pleasure out of them.
Don’t lose any sleep over them.
How’s your stocks of Tinfoil holding up?

Nope, primarily because. I am not interested. Yet there is something in the back of my head showing Corbyn marching round with a CND badge on. Which again tells me, what Labour says and what he does don't go hand in hand.

Thanks for the honesty, (y)
I’d rather have a Government that wants a fully resourced, fully manned and equipped to meet our Defence needs.

you do know the torys changed the laws around Trade unions and froze assets i would have a read of the Trade union act. i would look into the history of the Labour party and Unions.. its in the name;)

back in the late 70's there were 13million TU members in 2012 less than half that, that time workers rights and pay rose at record lows.. its no suprise to me you don't have time for Unions;)

Every year I am more than happy to pin my poppy next to my CND badge and wear both with equal pride... Fairly certain anyone that's been to war and first hand witnessed the atrocities would acknowledge that peace is a whole lot better... ✌
 
Something we can probably all agree on, perhaps. A motion has been passed today in the HoC suspending Keith Vaz for 6 months. Horrible man, hopefully he will be de-selected and his constituents will not be faced with wanting to vote Labour but not wanting him.

Steve I get that, totally understand that. But someone that supports CND, which again I can understand has to potantially stand with his finger on the doomsday button in defence of this country and he says " nope not Me". Am all for peace, but Putin, Kim, Assad etc as far as I am aware are not members on this forum and do not subscribe to your or mine like minded opinions.
