    Public debt is £1.5 trillion, £56000 per household, we spend millions on some obese patients, £11 m looking for Maddy, the list of spending is infinite and yet still the left wants even more spending. A disgracefully grey spoilt brat mindset.

    Today I heard lefties on the news as ever arguing for even more spending on developing and disfunctional nations despite us already being top contributors to many. The lefts greed knows no bounds.

    Yes yes yes yes yes!

    Corbyn set for victory. Marvellous to see the smug grins wiped off the MSM.

    I imagine there's going to be plenty of glum faces. Annual conference will be interesting.

    Paddy power has paid out already. So probably ...

    Corbyn vrs Osborn.

    Two very formidable opponents. In my mind, the best raw political dog fight for a long time.

    Saying that ...

    I heard a great quote from a labour colleague today - ' you're voting for fu**cking Corbyn? The man that gives us the Right words in the wrong fu*cking decade ? '

    :rotfl:
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    Corbyn to last 4 plus years? Odds on he won't.

    32 years as an MP and no Government (or shadow cabinet) post. There's a lot people don't know about this man.........

    He's a North London legend. Islington LOVE him. He has the magic dust which almost all politicians don't have.

    Discount him at your peril.

  • He's not going to win a General election though. He's bonkers.

    What proportion of the voting age population is either unemployed, on benefits, on minimum wage or in public sector employment? Assuming they all vote and all vote Labour could Corbyn win a ge?

    He's bonkers enough to offer something that's never been offered before that could change the whole game.

    My jury's out, I'm not shorting the house against him, I suspect he actually has a fighting chance.

    He may do something profound like offer to share out the land and wealth of the crown or something equally gamechanging.

    mad and bad
  • Im targeting mortgage paid off before the next ge in case this loon gets in and trashes the economy.

    If that happens and my company goes under I'll either Scrounge off the state (either non working benefits or some public sector job like teaching) or if that doesn't work I'll go work in the eu. I'm paid and live in the UK currently but about 75% oo my time and income is derived from outside the UK anyway
