Re: June 8th General Election
[QUOTE=Osem;35898502]Yes it is and that's why we are where we are. To develop what we've got to the standard of the best in Europe having taken the network back into public ownership would cost many billions and necessitate the tax rises nobody will vote for. Catch 22.

So Farron's big idea is to legalise cannabis. He reckons it'll solves all sorts of problems, generate loads of revenue and put the drug dealers out of business.
Hmmm. If I were a drug dealer I think I'd just produce a stronger version and undercut the price of the official stuff. It'd take time but and yes there'd be a proportion of people who'd prefer to rely on the officially supplied gear but there'd be a great many who'd simply want to try something cheaper and stronger. This is exactly what's happening with Spice now isn't it? It's also the reason out sea and airports are flooded with cheap and all too often dodgy cigarettes which people choose to buy knowing all the risks of, for example, product contamination and lack of quality control, because they're cheaper.
Yep HMG could reduce the prices it charges for the official cannabis but where does that leave the predicted revenue stream?
Also if they legalise small scale home cultivation how are they intending to protect neighbours from the pungent aroma these plants generate or are non drug users just going to have to live with that?[/QUOTE]
it's ok i'm used to my house stinking of someone else's skunk.

Re: June 8th General Election
Had to laugh at my red top today. It names the Labour candidate for Hammersmith as a Mr Slaughter and the neighbouring constuency of Fulham is contested for Labour by a Mr De'ath.
Seems strangely appropriate.

And perhaps if you ran as a candidate they would call you Mr Undertaker.

Well, with Corbyn in charge, Labour is certainly in a grave situation.

Don't you mean party?
The demise of Corbyn's cronies will be great cause for celebration.

Re: June 8th General Election
Here's Corbyn's Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury making a fool of herself:

They really haven't got a clue.

Re: June 8th General Election
Jeremy Corbyn claimed Nato was a 'danger to world peace' and was arrested at an IRA-linked protest
Quote:
In a recording from 2011 the Labour leader said that the radical left "have to campaign against Nato's power, its influence and its global reach".
The clip was shown to Emily Thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show on Sunday and she suggested that Mr Corbyn had changed his mind about the alliance and had “been on a journey”.

Re: June 8th General Election
If the West backed it, Corbyn was against it. Pretty much the cheat sheet to quickly know his position on any foreign policy issue since the war. NATO? Against. Falklands War? Against. And so on.
