Oh wow ! I almost missed this politics thread.
Are we taking sides here? I'm with Tufnell. You knew that already.

If you think this is austerity you have a rude awakening coming, The National Debt is knocking on £4 trillion and is rising at the rate of more than £5,000 a second. No doubt you are in favour of the Labour Government increasing this debt massively. No surprises that someone calling themselves ‘Scouse’ is with you on this, since Liverpool has always been a black hole into which taxpayers’ money is poured . The next 4 years will be very interesting

Guff, you do realise that when the Con/Lib coalition took over the national debt was £902bn - less than a quarter of what it is now. Who knew that slashing services was akin to slashing your wrists?
Wonder what note Hunt is going to leave behind on his desk “sorry old chum, not only is there no money left but its all gone to shit and we’re in hock up to our eyeballs, good luck with that”.

Pilgrimage?
Anyway, more handouts! Goodness knows, Tory cronies have embezzled enough taxpayers' money. Scousers demand their share! Gimme gimme gimme!

I wouldn't have thought the idea of pilgrimage would sit very well with Marxism, what with religion being the opium of the people and all that. Still, if folk want to do it , that's up to them. I never have.

I see you are all still droning on then
It’s been a fantastic day for a change, so I’ve been out enjoying it. Socialism has never, ever, worked and the upcoming Labour government will be no different. They will borrow billions, chase away all the entrepreneurs and bankrupt the country as per usual. You lot will vote for that so you’ll get what you deserve. Enjoy the handouts while they last.

Is Tuffers wrong then about the quadrupling of the national debt? Just asking

"Socialism has never, ever, worked and the upcoming Labour government will be no different".
Luckily they're not socialists. You'd struggle to get a Rizla paper between Sunak and Starmer.

Why start-up in the UK when it has obstructed access to the biggest market in the world. And btw, socialism is what has kept you alive long enough for you to enjoy your retirement.

Nothing either bring with them will sort out the cess pit this country has become. Both will only accelerate the decline.

“Branches of it”?
You’re reaching, Smirns.

I'm surprised at Smex. He usually seems quite intelligent, if wrong.
I'm not surprised at Guff. He doesn't seem very intelligent at all.

Politics are not allowed on here ffs, twoteefus will be getting an email to admin ready any minute not reaching old boy, evolutionary links. What starts as “socialism” follows a predictable route down a number of different paths. Marx had a huge influence on those involved in Communism. That he formed many of his ideas while in England worries me immensely.

Evolutionary? what you mean in the same way that you share between 30-40% of your dna with a lettuce. That sort of evolutionary.

Are you really suggesting that there isn’t a link between “socialism” and Communism? I’ve missed these little chats, me talking in Cantonese and you listening in Manderin do some reading on the subject before spouting the lettuce bollox ffs.

That sort of evolutionary. Well it’s all down to definitions isn’t it? Suffice it to say that in order to have a prosperous country you need the private sector to generate the wealth. Governments are really bad at running companies, as we have seen to our cost many times. We need small government which provides a framework, not a stranglehold, on the activities of the nation. The Labour Party is notoriously poor at running a successful economy and the latest incarnation of the Tories have proved themselves to be at least as bad. We need a new approach asap or we might as well all pack up and go home. The tide is turning in Europe, at long last, but it is much harder here due to the ‘first past the post’ system that the two big parties cling so desperately to. So the best thing to do is vote for parties who agree with PR, so we can re enfranchise the large number of people in this country who feel they have no voice. If you get the economy right you have the money to do all the other good things, if you don’t we will continue on our inexorable tailspin into third world status. We also need to ditch all the ‘Net zero’ (anyone who thinks that will do anything but send us back to the Stone Age is deluding themselves), all the ‘Pride’ bollox (all the rights have been won, so it’s just narcissism now), the ‘Trans’ insanity (you cannot change your sex, get over it), the ‘Mental Elf’ crap (in 95% of cases people are not mentally ill they are just experiencing life). Have a nice week kids, I will .
