Nobody even slightly terrified of the idea of a socialist state run internet?

Also when will people realise that there is no such thing as “free” ... the term “free” means taxing the working man/woman even more, and I know nutcase McDonnell thinks fb and Amazon will pay for everything (They seem to be Labour’s magic money tree because that idiot on question time reckons they will pay for the nhs too!) but the reality of Comrade Corbyn’s socialist utopia would be hell on earth for the real working class.

NHS is gonna cost £139 Billion next year. Hardly free is it?... I know folk North of the border are keen on freebies but these things do actually cost real money.

It is free at the point of use which means that people who are ill and cannot afford treatment get the same treatment as people who are extremely rich and could afford to pay for the treatment they receive but choose not to.
Seems reasonable to me or do you think the rich folk are being unreasonable and we should just let the poor folk die.

I happen to think the NHS is one of the greatest things this country has...It’s world class, (In spite of the fact it is massively abused and often used for the wrong things)...But if it was proposed tomorrow as a new idea it would never get off the ground. Look at obamacare.

Met Police now investigating the Tory party on the Brexit candidates bribe scandal.

You are right Doon - what widdecombe and others in the Brexit party are talking about is attempted bribery by the tories.

We’ll no doubt be hearing the gop defence of trump - no bribes accepted so nothing to see here.🙄

At some point folks who continue to ignore or excuse all of Johnson’s lack of understanding, his evasion, lies, deceits and dissembling (see his one hour of all of the aforementioned when interviewed by Rachel Burden on R5Live) are going to have to just come out of their denial and decide what is right. Johnson and his crew are just no longer funny.

I used to think that the conservatives had at their core some decency and values - and leading people I might not agree with but could respect. But that was then and I’m struggling now. The decent conservatives are still out there but I am no longer hearing that voice.

Strange that you are prepared to believe Farage on this. Could it be that it suits your anti-Conservative agenda?

In any event the Met are not currently investigating the Tory party.

They have received an allegation from a Labour peer and are considering if there is anything to merit an investigation.

As for Miss Widdecombe it would not be entirely surprising nor without merit given her experience and knowledge if she was asked to join any post-election negotiations over Brexit.
 
Latest YouGov poll has the Conservatives on 45% with Labour back on 28%. If that is repeated come the 12th December, it will be a landslide for Boris

They can be shut down ... the Chinese and North Koreans do that, not saying it’s right or wrong but we need them to pay their taxes and if that is the level then I would pull it.

Obamacare was wanted by the people, the republican senate stifled all of his policies making his presidency pointless .. we don’t have that issue with the Lords.

Nope the evidence is there for the last 10 years ... it’s just the daily mail doesn’t print it and the bbc is too left to be considered a credible source.
Choice is yours, accept it or live in denial.

Poll percentage does not relate to seats won.
SNP on about 4% of total UK vote but look like returning 45 seats.
It is still going to be close about 10 seats either way IMVHO.
