    It's not globalisations fault, it's the conservatives get rich quick schemes that work for them and their mates. If you're not in the club then you are out of luck.
    Wrote the supposed ex-Conservative voter - in reality a Labour-voting moral midget who envies other people's wealth and wants to live in a country where everyone's a miserable underachiever like himself.

    You're about as reliable as your tired confused leader https://youtu.be/kuJHmBW_bgU

    Everything I've said is true. I don't envy other people's wealth & the plan as stated wouldn't actually benefit me. Talking about morals, you're worried that someone would take your hard stolen cash. While I want to share my wealth with hard working people.

    I was a life long conservative voter until the last election.

    I picked up how scary this lot are 2 years ago.

    They aren't conservative.

    Jess Philips speech on the other hand was amazing.

    https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/top-stories/jess-phillips-on-boris-johnson-1-6253464

    Jess Philips speech was just a mindless pointless rant, yet again. I watched her on Robert Peston one morning as she rammed pasty after pastry down her face as she compared herself to the suffragettes who were true hardcore heroes who endured true hardship.

    The way she screws her face up as tells the media how she hates this person or that person is so childish and attention seeking . I once was told of all the nasty four letter words HATE was the worse one you could use and I believe that, that nasty Ugandan Asian woman from I newspaper uses it a lot as well, Yasmin Brown I think he name is.

    Go ahead. Nobody's stopping you. Write a cheque for £1000 to HMRC. Home the homeless in your spare bedroom.

    Or do you in reality want other people's wealth forcibly "shared" with you?

    But that is why Labour are not way out in the lead, because they too are unpopular, the Liberal Democrats are picking up lots of votes.
    But there needs to be good candidate locally for that swing to the LD to take effect, otherwise its just a swing at the polls, which will disapear on election day.

    We voted Tory last time partly on the basis of local candidates.
    Our MP just votes with the government.
    Next time we’re (Married couple of the same opinion) voting Lib Dem. brexit and other political issues overrides any opinion about the local candidate. You can not rely on them meeting your expectations or even staying the same party.

    Of course in some areas with standing MPs of many decades it will make a difference.

    The remain parties were talking about not standing against each other in certain constituencies on the BBC yesterday e.g. Caroline Lucas. They seem pretty organised and united at the moment.

    Because they believe Labour will tax them all to death to give it to the unemployed and immigrants.
    Actually the past masters of impoverishing their own supporters are Labour. Labour wrecks the economy, always increases unemployment, always increases taxes, always increases the deficit and consequently the national debt, and gives us filthy hospitals and the constructive return of the workhouse. It was under Labour that you became more likely to die in hospital of a disease you didn't have when you went in than you were to die in a road accident. It imports millions of immigrants because they'll vote Labour, and meanwhile their supporters can't afford houses any more and find that cheap Polish workers have offered their wages down.

    This is not a mistake or an oversight. This is deliberate. Labour foments racism, idleness, !!!!lessness, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment because all these evils create a unemployable, entitled pleb class of surefire Labour voters. Why would it fix any of these problems when to do so would abolish its own support base? Labour sets out to make them worse and to indulge its hatreds of people who've worked hard, or are Jews, or who have in some other way offended the pedlars of class hate.

    They are pond slime in approximately human form.

    Absolutely all of it is verifiable as fact.
    No it isn't otherwise we wouldn't have record numbers of people in a job, full-time too; we wouldn't see wages rising faster than inflation for the first time in ages; we wouldn't see the continued growth we've had; we wouldn't see our universities, space industry; technology all among world leaders; ...... and (I really don't think you'll like this one) the UK have some of the happiest people in the world despite Brexit! :D
    Britons are among the happiest people in the world - and are becoming more cheerful, according to an annual United Nations survey.

    Oh look, that's by the UN too. It doesn't seem to match what your previous link suggests, does it? ;)

    Yet the Tories, the supposed safe guardians of our economy have done an even worse job of all of that in the last decade. So can Labour actually be any worse? Beyond, you know, aiming for a bit of fairness?
  • How are the Tories getting on with their stated aim of eliminating the deficit by 2015?

    Well done that man.

    I look forward to seeing the results from your charity in the coming years.

    I prefer the choice. The choice to work as hard as you want and then gain the results from this. I want everyone to be able to be the next millionaire in the UK. Thats fair. If you dont want to then thats also fine.

    A society on the debt of OPM is a society of unfairness. A society that thinks another person should pay them to live without work just increases the unfairness further.

    I dont look at anyone else and think they are somehow cool because of a certain type of clothes the are wearing. So I fail to see how being envious or even noticing anyone elses financial status is something you are conscious of.
