  2. @UC9UPeXNsrCfLoUDQjezwU4w So, still no rebuttal just a more elaborate ad-hominem with broken English... Taxing corporations is essential when most people are dealing with working poverty, zero-hour contracts and using food banks despite being employed. The tax gap in the UK is anywhere from £40 billion to £120 billion per annum. On top of those losses, we pay over £97 billion per annum to those tax-dodging corporations in corporate welfare and subsidies. That's more than the budget for the NHS lost to corporate greed... As for your observation regarding putting prices up, they can't if they want to compete, the smaller corporations will outprice them when forced to pay proper taxation. Monopolies are antithetical to a free market. Not that I'm naive enough to believe in a free market...

  4.  @mish375  The closer to the top you go the more truth in that statement, but there are decent politicians, mostly maligned by the media if they don't play the game.

  6. Probably not, it's just juggling stupidity... A lot of that going on these days...

  7.  rob  You are wrong on all counts. Immigration has increased under the Tories while they blame the EU and Labour. Theresa May had the record of 650,000 in her last year as home secretary, which I'm sure has been beaten again since. Learn stats and facts instead of tabloid headlines... PS Why do you think we need EU HGV drivers, Nurses, Doctors and now Abattoir workers? Immigration isn't the problem, the rich stealing your taxes is the problem...

  8.  rob  PS what you lack in intellect, you more than makeup for in stupidity. While able to construct a sentence on occasion, your primitive understanding of the world you inhabit is negligible. But I'm sure you love nature, in spite of what it did to you. You have all the charisma of a used tissue and are about as useful as a rubber beak to a woodpecker. Now please do one as I'm not in the mood for a circular debate with the village idiot.

  9.  rob  "The UK left the EU at the end of 31 January 2020 CET (11 p.m. GMT)" as everyone with a higher IQ than a crack-addicted hamster knows.

  10.  rob  We have already left the EU as the whole world is aware and the N.I. negotiations are post-Brexit, (that means after Brexit). I'm bored of trying to fix you, you are broken, too dumb to be fixed. I've given you the stats of Labour's immigration, Tory immigration, Theresa May's figures in her last year as home secretary, the date we LEFT the EU, the amount of staff shortage in the NHS and the reasons why. I'm not giving you my address because you're obviously unable to handle basic facts, and I don't trust your mentality - as you lie to yourself and ignore the real world, signs of psychological issues. I'm 16 stone and can do 50 push-ups without air in my lungs because I work on my mind and body daily and If I met you in the street you'd run a mile.

  11.  @shrach8  Nonsense, we've only lost 65% of genetic diversity at 1,000 times the natural rate of extinction, so what if large swathes of the planet are on fire and the icecaps are melting causing low lying areas to be reclaimed by the sea. I'm sure the Tories are doing everything they can, they are such a globally-minded group of philanthropic humanitarians and definitely not psychotic insular kleptocrats as some might suggest. So just enjoy watching the human race, its history and accomplishments being slowly devoured by capitalism in this surreal farcical pantomime we call life.

  12. Scandals seem to slip off the Teflon Tories. Maybe we should find out what frictionless superconductor Tories are made from and then use that to supply us with limitless energy...

  14.  @frogmarched6869  It's the forced buggery at Eton I didn't like. Then I was given a huge trust fund at 18 that set me up for life. How am I supposed to make my way in the world, if it's just handed to me on a silver platter? Not to mention that I'm absolutely thick as two short planks, but because I speak in a posh accent, people think I'm intelligent. Don't they realise a classical education isn't a sign of ability? It's enough to make me want to throw another bottle of Dom Perignon at the wall and ruin the diamond-encrusted gilt edging...

  19.  @chips1889  Maybe if you learned to spell and stopped blaming socialists for inherent flaws in capitalism... Edward Heath came to office as Tory PM in 1970-74 and was elected on the platform of defeating the unions. He laid the groundwork for what Thatcher finished. It was a setup and the unions were just fighting against the loss of jobs and wages. They had their telephones bugged and had undercover officers starting fights and causing trouble so the tabloids could demonise the unions. Now we have zero-hour contracts, minimum wage, and a third of Britain in working poverty. Most of Europe had shortages and electricity problems in the 70s including under a Tory government.

  20.  @chips1889  Yes, I lived through the 70s and dyslexia stopped me from reading until I was out of school. Since then I've read thousands of books. Tories only have hate and I don't have time to waste when I have already given you a more accurate account of the 70s. Thatcher reduced industry to purge the left and Unions of power in a Pinochet inspired attack while putting our eggs in the London fiscal basket. Since then the Tories have turned us into a global hub for laundering the criminal elite's cash for them. Now we have a 3rd of the workforce in working poverty, zero-hour contracts and most people are on minimum wage. While the Tories are feeding tax-dodging corporations £100 billion per annum in corporate welfare and subsidies. Those same corporations are costing us £40-120 billion per annum via the tax gap/unpaid corporate taxes. The Tories have created over 2/3rds of our £2 trillion national debt, lowered our triple-A credit rating at least twice and given us a debt to GDP ratio of over 100%. They are fiscally incompetent but have good PR as the media are owned by their donors. Land of dopes and Tories.

  21.  @chips1889  So you'd rather ignore the facts as you're unable to make an intelligent rebuttal and instead arrogantly insist that you've seen the light, though you don't actually have any proof. You keep voting based on mythology, I'll keep voting based on ideology...

  22. "Hi, My name is Matt and my party is responsible for the economic catastrophe, the NHS crisis, the failures and corruption that cost you billions during the pandemic and I partied while you weren't allowed to visit your dying relatives!"

  23.  @crown9413  Says the man on a zero-hour contract or in insecure employment with an agency, while on minimum wage. Almost a 3rd of the working population is in poverty. Nurses using food banks. Half the British public have no savings and live from week to week drowning ever deeper in debt. Your arguments are simplistic nonsense.

  24.  @crown9413  lol you are too dumb to answer. Your argument is total cognitive spaghetti. I've already proven the standard of living was higher on a single adult wage!

  25. @Spiritual Stuff Agreed, some are bots and some are even worse, they are working-class Tories.

  26. Or just grow cannabis for medical and recreational purposes, tax it and use the stalks and stems in place of hemp. Put profits into green technology.

  27.  @ministryoflies1344  Agreed mate, Indeed the NHS while neglected and underfunded has given life and taken care of almost every Brit in the past 70 years. Most people don't seem to understand that even the most standard needs of a hospital things like Birth are incredibly expensive in places without free healthcare. Costs about 6k to give birth in the US. God help anyone who has a terminal disease as it's time to remortgage.

  31.  @luntershaptopfukinov6413  Maybe I should get a copy of 'cognitive dissonance for dummies' and read memes from the toilet walls of right-whinge social media to better understand your ailment?

  32.  @luntershaptopfukinov6413  Lots of mercenary contractors, opioid suppliers, construction companies, arms manufacturers, oil companies, specialists, bankers and greedy politicians conned the American public of $2-3 trillion to go loot the middle-east and to maintain petrodollar hegemony. The US geological survey of 2010 found $1 trillion in gold and lithium in them their Afghan hills while the military increased poppy production 10 fold. Close enough sweetheart?

  37.  @celticsaxon8857  So, He fired at two people who thought the set was unsafe after many members of the crew had walked out earlier that week. Two people with who it's fair to say as producer, he wasn't on good terms. With no reason to be firing a prop gun at them, at the unfortunate time the prop gun was filled with 'a live round' killing one and seriously injuring the other. Use Occam's Razor and a more likely scenario emerges...

  46.  @Nathan-1234  You don't remember Thatcher. Miner's strikes? Poll tax riots? Toxteth? Brixton? History is littered with examples: Churchill sent troops up the Mersey in gunboats, military called in for the Tonypandy riots. History teaches us that the police and military have and are used against the population every time they challenge the government in numbers.
