AVB Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 If you listen to the Labour leadership today - "The Rich" - but they never define what rich is do they??? I suggest it will be everyone who is not employed by the state or belonging to a large left wing trade union. Apparently they stated today that £70k is the income that defines you as 'rich'.

ferguson_tom Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Apparently they stated today that £70k is the income that defines you as 'rich'. Double that then maybe but when an average family home in the south East is around 350k, 70k a year certainly doesn't make you rich, comfortable yes but not rich.

Davyo Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 And this "snap" election has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that the CPS are about to announce how many of the 20 plus tory mp's that are currently being investigated by 12 different police forces for criminal charges of election fraud will be prosecuted, the outcome of which could destroy their chances at the next general election. However this new election will bury most of the bad news under a sea of the usual political propaganda and BS and ensure the outcome is old enough come the next scheduled election ir will be irrelevant Bang on mate.

Penelope Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Earning around £70-80k was the figure being banded about.

Vince Green Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) If councils didn't have a bill for Social Services that is spiralling out of control there would be more money for other things. Councils had less money years ago but everything got done and still had money over for projects. In the borough I live in, Social Service and housing is the biggest chunk of the budget, and its still growing as a percentage of the total pot. That's the problem, the Council has to provide free housing for all and sundry, care for the elderly in care homes. Money doesn't grow on trees In general the Government has not made cuts, it has capped the money it gives the councils and they have had to make cuts. Its inevitable, you can't have fewer and fewer people having to pay to support more people without consequences.

Rewulf Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Bang on mate. I was under the impression this big tory corruption thing was something new. Its just that overspend on election budget job isnt it ? Hardly duck island! Non story put out by left wing media, to detract from the fact they have no coherent policy of their own, besides contradicting whatever the tories say.

old'un Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Just listened to Corbyn's rallying speech, most of it was predictable, 25% of the population living in "poverty" because of Tory cut backs, businesses not sharing enough of their profits with the workers, ban on zero hours contracts, a minimum wage of £10 ph, and an open door policy on immigrants who want to come here to better their selves and a general hammering of the so called "rich", well nothing changed there then and this was supposed to-be a rallying call to Labours members and voters, if that's the best he can do I think May has nothing to fear from Labour/Corbyn.

Paul223 Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 I think he knows he's over his head as labour leader, doesn't want to be the man that mucks up brexit, there really is only one person/party fit for the job, what a blinder of a move she has made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Corbin obviously doesn't want the job Far too much work involved, he would rather sit on the fence and criticise the efforts of people more able than him.

chrisjpainter Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Did anyone happen to catch the Labour MP on Radio 4 this afternoon? TRAIN WRECK. I started to feel sorry for her. However bad this excerpt is on the BBC News site, it's worse if you listen to the whole thing. Just sums up Labour.
