Do you want someone that works in, say, McDonalds, to be earning the same as the Director of a major company? Why would anyone go for the harder, far more demanding job in that instance? It simply wouldn't work in this country, more money is an incentive to do better.
Equality between races/sexes etc, the same pay for the same work, yes that should be in effect.
Equality can only go so far before it becomes a race to the bottom.
And that is just it, Labour wants to push everyone DOWN to the same level, the Tory's want everyone to work UP to the same level.
The Tory Party was literally founded to represent the interests of the landed gentry. How you think this miserable bunch of xenophobic right wing nut jobs cares about elevating anyone is beyond me.
Our current Tory masters, on their effortless journey of unearned hereditary privilege, have presided over poverty, racism, debt, and huge political instability. Again.
How anyone can vote Tory, let alone defend them, is beyond reason.0 -
Corbyn doesn't even care about Brexit, the only thing he cares about is POWER.
What happens when everything turns out fine after Oct 31st? I really hope these remain fanatics are held to account, preferably in some sort of court of law. The scaremongering is nothing but laughable. How on earth do Japan, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, India, China, Brazil and Russia ever cope not being in the EU?
People really need to stop believing everything they read.Ryan0 -

Can you understand that moving from tariff free trade with our biggest trade partner to WTO terms overnight might be a bit damaging?
None of these countries are attempting to abandon their existing trade networks.0 -

Sure, as long as if things even get slightly worse after brexit that we can banish all the leave voters to a remote island that you can take control of your own laws.How on earth do Japan, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, India, China, Brazil and Russia ever cope not being in the EU?
Are you seriously asking how countries that are much larger than us, but who still have extremely close trade deals with their nearest neighbours, cope? Did someone else tell you that this question would destroy the remain argument? Because it doesn't, at all. It just makes me sad that all the people who voted to leave have no command of logic.Crashy_Time wrote: »May`s deal was not in the interests of a country that voted to leave the EU.
It was the best deal that was possible to get. So in that regard it is in our countries interest as it would have delivered brexit without doing great deals of harm to our economy. What we seem to be pursuing now is the full on "cut our nose off to spite our face". It's showing how deranged the whole leave argument is.0 -

Thought leavers would be incarcerated as slaves. For daring to express an majority view. Seems as if the world is heading for troubling times. Guess the peace couldn't last indefinately. Lessons of the past soon get forgotten.0 -

But not as bad as the conservatives in recent years though, I'm not a labour supporter but in retrospect it would have been much better if David Cameron had never won an election.Peter_Williams wrote: »True. But he's hardly alone in that respect.
He's much more skilled at telling lies and much more effective at making us poorer.
So I don't think it's unreasonable to wish for someone who was less destructive to the UK.Enterprise_1701C wrote: »Do you want someone that works in, say, McDonalds, to be earning the same as the Director of a major company?

If they were rewarding hard work in demanding jobs, then it wouldn't be the director that is in line for the most money. Nurses, care assistants, cleaners etc would be on more money than a fat cat who just does business lunches all the time.Thrugelmir wrote: »Thought leavers would be incarcerated as slaves.
You should go see a psychotherapist if you are having those delusions.Thrugelmir wrote: »For daring to express an majority view.
It's not really a majority view. If you include those who didn't know which to vote & so didn't & those who wanted to vote but couldn't then it's easily a minority view. The UK doesn't like democracy, so we have voting where minorities are able to mess up the country for the rest of us.0 -

It’s either har brexit no deal, or do a deal with labour. And if it’s the second option these will be implemented
Increase tax rates on higher rates of income.
• Levy an annual wealth tax on the richest section of the population.
• Impose a ‘Robin Hood’ tax on City financial transactions.
• Increase the rate of corporation tax on the profits of large companies.
• Place a windfall tax on monopoly profits in specific industries as necessary.
• Close all tax havens under British jurisdiction.
• Implement deep cuts in VAT on essential goods and services.
• Replace the council tax by local income, wealth, land and property taxes based clearly on the ability to pay.
• Renegotiate and, where appropriate, cancel Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts in order to eliminate excessive corporate profiteering.
• Cut British military spending and end all state subsidies for armaments exports.
• Control movements of capital in and out of Britain.
Over time, as inequalities in income and wealth are eroded, economic growth would provide more of the basis for increased tax revenues.Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future0 -

AG47, you really do not need to persuade the majority of sensible people against a Corbyn government, we already know he would wreck the country.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
