    I would remind you that I actually voted remain in the hope that things could change. They have proved they do not intend to change so now yes, I would vote leave if there was another chance.

    Who is they? The leavers who lied about the EU and have continued to do so, which have made people think the EU need to change?

    It is the eu that needs to change. Rather like someone that sees a car crash a long way ahead, they have the choice of either changing direction to avoid it or just continuing on the same path. The eu seems to have decided to continue on the same path.

    I do not know for sure but I would imagine you are considerably younger than me.

    The main problem with the 70s was the unions. They wrecked the country. The fire service was on strike, there was no funerals as the gravediggers were on strike, on top of the miners and the dustmen, and when the labour pm came back from his political jolly in the west indies he claimed there was no crisis.

    It was not called the winter of discontent for nothing.

    It took many years to sort that out and get the unions on a leash. And you want to undo all that work!

    And the very fact that Corbyn has stated he would not press the button would make us very vulnerable.

    Did you actually live through the seventies? The "70`s" was a whole decade, and the things you mention didn`t happen for the WHOLE decade, the "Winter of Discontent" was one small part of the 70`s, and the issue with funeral homes happened in one location (I think Birmingham) for a very short time (days), I was quite young, but in many ways people were happier and led more fulfilling lives than today.
  • I actually lived through the seventies. It is strange how you believe things that are obviously junk as opposed to the truth.

  • LOL! A completely impartial resource whose current headline banner is "#endtoryrulenow"! :rotfl:

    Just one example:
    MYTH: The dead remained unburied because of strikes

    These actions lasted for a few weeks, during which bodies that would have been buried in those cemeteries were kept on ice.
    Right, so not a myth at all but confirmation it happened and an appallingly bad attempt to downplay what must have been a horrendous time for the families involved.

    And this is the state of affairs that some here want us to get back to? Unbelievable.

  • We were also called 'the sick man of Europe' - Boris wants to take us back to that. Unsubstantiated opinion works both ways.

    Businesses put Brexit at a greater risk to profitability than Corbyn. Says quite a lot in my view, and I'm a leaver.
  • Corbyn will crash the property market, but not for the reasons stated by the OP. It will be by accident, not design. By incompetence and the housing market will be the last thing you will be worrying about as we head towards a Venezuala situation.
    Corbyn and his highly intelligent (not) merry men and women are like Gordon Brown on steroids

    One ting that was good about the 1970s was that under a thousand ounces of silver were valued the same as an average family property 😀

    Now it’s 40-50,000 ounce of silver ratio to one average family property
