This isn’t going to go anywhere positive.
I completely agree with you but some of views on here are just fuelled by the newspapers.

Thanks for confirming everything I’ve said.

In this case the poster is outright denying it though. That’s why it’s important to call it out.

Yup, agree and the last post was offensive, so I have reported it. Totally unacceptable and name calling is not acceptable either.
Best to report and move on, talk about something else. Like maybe how the people paid to bail out the banks and the banks never paid any interest - who would negotiate such an appalling deal? And would you let them negotiate anything of value after that?

To quote Frankie Boyle 'The Tories calling Corbyn a communist and a threat to national security after handing nuclear power plants to the Chinese is a bit like getting a bollocking off Charles Manson for putting down slug pellets. Perhaps in a few years our troops will reflect on what a harmless enemy Corbyn actually was, as they stare up at an AI minotaur, pinning them to the floor with a stainless steel hoof and holding their extracted vascular system aloft like a Ford Focus wiring-loom.'

do you remember Labour bailled out the banks?
I have no problem with other views but i have a big problem being told that i believe something because i have believed press - that is rubbish. I make my own mind up and read plenty of views from left and right papers and live reports

Hey don't knock it, I quite like the idea of 4 day weeks, more beer and faster access to porn. I must re-read the labour manifesto again as I missed all that first time.

So a quote from Boyle, that decisive intellectual is evidence of something significant/amusing - I think not.

Have a read, he's probably not claiming to be an intellectual but he is pretty amusing. But then again we've had enough of experts anyway so what use are intellectuals https://www.theguardian.com/politic...on-countdown-praying-prorogue-next-parliament

It's actually a hidden easter egg on the labour web site where it lists the additional manifestos. https://labour.org.uk/manifesto/ Whilst on that page you need to type the letters F R E E G R O T then hit enter and their porn manifesto appears. Goes without saying it is NSFW and some bits, especially the part about PornHub replacing Google as the default browser search engine and Fake Taxi getting Uber's license are a bit out there. But there is some good practical stuff in there as well.

I sees Johnson once again repeated his extra 20,000 police and extra 50,000 nurses claim on National TV.
This is despite the numbers being rubbished by many different agencies .
I notice this time he did not include the 40 [20] [6] new hospitals.
As a sample of public opinion are there any posters on here who still believe what he is saying is truthful, and explain how.

Got a leaflet through from the local Tory candidate with all those claims on today as well as the 40 new hospitals. To be honest I'm quite pleased, as if they had changed them it would have shown that they are actually capable of accepting and admitting when they openly and deliberately mislead the public, and that may have caused me to change my opinion of them slightly. But there's no worries about that now.

So basically 4 day week and free grot.. should this not be in their crime reduction policies? I mean we all will be at home more often and those that are at home all week will be exhausted

Isn't the 20000 extra police actually accurate? It's just that it will be 20000 more than we have now which will still be around 500 less than 10 years ago when the Tories started cutting numbers.
I didn't see the debate last night but the BBC text of it said that he'd talked about 31000 additional nurses and I assumed that they'd finally decided to use the real number.

Yup 2008 Mr Darling ... of the money paid out the return has not been enough and one could argue that it has been mis-managed

No, at the start he said 50,000 nurses then went on to say 31,000.
Worth remembering that nursing levels are around 18,000 short [I think] at the moment so really it is only around 20,000 nurses not 50,000,
Just checked and it is actually 40 to 50,000 nurses short,
So to bring the NHS up to full strength he would need 90,000 nurses. Wow.

Sort of, as I posted last night I thought he was better than Corbyn when it came to the NHS, what he said was, we’re going to have 50,000 more nurses, 19,000 of those will be retained and 31,000 recruited.

Cheers. I was sure I'd seen the figure 31000 in the BBC text. Think they even broke it down as 19000 UK trained and 12000 from overseas recruitment. But that still doesn't add up to 50000 "more" nurses.
