    Good question Chazz. I'm interested in hearing the answers.

    Also, about what Tory policies motivate them and why.

    As opposed to to encouraging the old and gullible people to vote for Brexit and Boris?

    As much as I hate Blair I couldn't blame for the subprime mortgage collapse in America.

    So spending plans?
    All agree austerity is over so its a choice between sensible Conservative spending and investment and the reckless over spending and debt of Labour?

    I think he is a buffoon. Though in comparison to Corbyn he is an intellectual collosus.

    The speed of Labour spend is certainly a big challenge. The scale not so though. They propose a state spend similar to many European countries, once their plans are in place.

    Cons spend is certainly more modest. But if they don’t increase any taxes, how will it be afforded?

    it’s also important to distinguish between capital spend (which is only spent once and for which borrowing is currently a great option) and revenue spend (which recurs every year and is not good for borrowing). The latter is something that has tripped Corbyn up.

    The ones they are trying to attract, yes. As I said previously, part of me wants Corbyn to get in to hear the howls of anguish when reality, like it did in Venezuela, the country which Corbyn thought was a shining example to be like, sets in. Would happen quicker as we don’t have the largest oil reserves in the world like they have,

    It’s very handy that you don’t need to be intelligent to put forward policies that support the poorest people.

    Some of the kids at my school come to school without breakfast, because their parents can’t afford it. In 2019.

    So by voting Tory, you’re casting a vote for the people who have allowed that to happen.

    It’s not ****ing rocket science. Oust the bastards.

    If you vote Tory, Boris will be PM.

    Anyone believing any extra tax will be only paid by the top 5% and corporations is in for a rude awakening if Labour get in.

    Are their mobiles, satellite TV, broadband in their houses? Do their parents smoke or drink?

    A global financial crisis had very little to do with the previous incumbents. It’s all documented, clearly & concisely. It actually had more to do with the current Chancellor & the job he had at the time.

    Try not to let Fairy Tales get in the way of the truth.

    We could get onto the story of Labour Governments racking up the National Debt whilst ignoring the £1 trillion (more than every Labour Government in History) the current incumbents have added to the Debt. Austerity (a choice that has killed 130k vulnerable people) was put in place to reduce the debt yet it’s more than doubled.

    We maybe should be asking if public services have had to be decimated, the NHS raped to its knees, disabled people forced to work & die as a consequence, children starve & poverty soar where’s the money gone?

    Obviously we’re meant to ignore that the Super Rich have tripled their wealth over the same period & banks in the Cayman Islands & Bahamas are thriving.

    They probably carry their mobiles with them. Do you leave yours at home?
