  1. Agenda = How can we keep the masses consuming and do as little as possible to resolve the issues regarding the future of the species...

  2. Multimillion pound scam? that's not the biggest fraud case though is it? Try £37 billion for a flawed test and trace system...

  3. Sychophants will cry, Royalists will cry, Charles will gleefully shed a tear for dear Momaa. The rest of Britain will be working trying to pay their electricity bills...

  4. Us taxpayers pay over £100 billion yearly to wealthy shareholders in subsidies and corporate welfare... That's enough money to make 2,000 British families millionaires every single week! Seriously this in comparison is pocket change. Still, it keeps you focused on anything other than Tory corruption and corporate greed at the taxpayer's expense...

  7.  @ryanunknown4181  I live in Wales beautiful countryside, valleys and lakes. We have very little crime compared to the US and a big red Dragon on our flag. Despite your lack of intellect you should at least be able to realise America is a corporation and its citizens are simply collateral used to increase national debt...

  8.  @URBeingLiedTo  I have no need to insult you, if you find the truth insulting it merely proves my point. I've wasted decades being sealioned by people like you and correcting their folly. Expose a troll to sunlight and they turn to stone. Stay in your dark hole where truth is a distant memory and illusion your only friend...

  9.  @URBeingLiedTo  I followed the metaphor through, I gave no insult but the truth. Matt Hancock was part of a government that reduced government to its smallest levels in history while giving us authoritarian legislation such as the anti-protestor bill, internet censorship and spy cops bill and many others in the pipeline. You allow them to take your human rights, workers' rights, right to free speech which is covered under the ECHR which was drafted by British lawyers after the second world war to prevent such legislation. I know exactly where your authoritarian argument is going and have defeated that line of illogical fallacy a million times... It's like trying to teach a whale to fly!

  10.  @darkmusky9851  "The Tories don't have any ideologies" seriously? they've followed Thatcherite neoliberalism, small government, privatisation and deregulation for four decades or didn't you notice? They siphon your taxes to the offshore accounts of the wealthy and look for new ways to siphon more...

  11.  @URBeingLiedTo  I didn't suggest it I proved it by naming three pieces of legislation and by pointing out austerity and huge cuts they've implemented in the past decade or so. As I said I don't have time for sealioning and have defeated your misconceptions... PS when a government becomes an authoritarian dictatorship they no longer have any claim on left-wing ideology. They simply hide their f@sh ism behind it! Now if you don't mind I predicted this discourse at the beginning and dragging me into your delusions isn't going to happen. You made ridiculous statements and have been corrected, I have other things to do than waste time on the internet, I was just about to watch paint dry, so if you don't mind...

  12.  @URBeingLiedTo  See you won't stop regurgitating myth and expecting me to educate you. Labour didn't cause the GLOBAL financial crisis and bailing out the banks is neoliberalism and was a CROSS-PARTY decision. The Tories have created over 3/4rs of our national debt and given us a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 100% earlier in the year. PS it wasn't a crash it was a heist! I've had a wonderful, enlightening, intelligent, enthralling debate... But this wasn't it :)
    2
  13.  @URBeingLiedTo  No, the Tories were responsible for creating more national debt than every other government since 1945 combined! even before the pandemic! I'm not wasting any more time as you've proven all you have is Tory myths and lack any political knowledge whatsoever. It's like trying to talk a trifle into sentience...

  14.  @URBeingLiedTo  PS I left the Labour party when Blair dropped clause 4, and Starmer is a poor Blair tribute act so I have no reason to defend them. Before the global financial crisis, New Labour reduced our debt to GDP by 4% and even adding the bailout to Labour's debt the Tories had doubled our national debt between 2010 and 2018. They've almost tripled it now.

  17.  @holeindanssock156  I find the best way to get along in life is simply to be born from the murky maleficence of the shallow end of the British gene pool, study elitism and privilege at Eton, get a trust fund at 18 and then hire an investment manager for all that inherited wealth.

  18.  @josm1481  That's surely a statement and not a question. Democratic Socialism in Britain is the reason the poor no longer live in slums, and why children no longer die of curable conditions in workhouses. Thanks to Socialism we have worker's rights, human rights, public transport, free schooling, legal aid, the NHS, a welfare state to look after the sick and disabled. We also had a national industry that made us self-sufficient. Now we are subject to the whims of a volatile market and extorted for the profit of shareholders' offshore bank accounts...

  19.  @josm1481  "In 1945, Wilkinson became Minister for Education in Clement Attlee's government cabinet. As Minister of Education she saw as her main task the implementation of the Education Act (1944). This Act provided universal free secondary education." That was a Labour government that implemented a Democratic Socialist manifesto. "Democratic socialism is defined as having a socialist economy in which the means of production are socially and collectively owned or controlled" Ie Nationalism like the Attlee Labour government used to help rebuild Britain after the second world war. Please don't speak of ignorance and propaganda when I can provide sources to prove everything I type and you only have opinions based on a lack of knowledge. About as much use as a rubber beak to a woodpecker!

  20.  @josm1481  lol getting a lecture from a political illiterate is fun. Look up the Scandanavian model of Social Democracy and see how many countries prosper from nationalisation. We didn't have privatisation until the 80s, it's a new thing that siphons taxpayer money into subsidies, corporate welfare and constant bailouts... You are beneath the basic level of knowledge required to have a reasonable debate with. Please go back under the stone and never bother civilisation ever again...

  29. Taste and quality are two things not reflected in a simple poll of 48 items. While it's a good guide in general and can agree from my own experience with the findings, what we are sold isn't food. It's overprocessed with unhealthy fats, additives and full of refined sugar and salts which don't contain the natural 80+ vitamins and minerals they should contain. Buying heritage fruit, grain, nuts, berries and veg is the only way to avoid the nasty stuff...

  35.  @semolinasemolina8327  Thank you for your inane comment and middle-class patronisation. Africa was enslaved by monarchs and corporations continue to take advantage of countries whose gold lies in the private residences of the monarchy of Europe. Corporatocracy is another form of monarchy, another way to take power from the majority and fully supported by monarchs. If you want a history lesson please feel free to reply, or if you'd like an economic literacy or political literacy 101 I'd be happy to oblige...

  36.  @semolinasemolina8327  I would - but from your comments, it would be like trying to teach a whale to fly or talking a trifle into sapience...

  38. Centrist infiltrators took over the party shortly after Blair dropped clause 4. After Corbyn was torpedoed by the centrists during the general election I'm unclear as to why anyone would support Starmer for any other reason than removing the Tories. Even then Starmer is only a slight upgrade from the Tories, his ideology is closer to theirs than historic Labour ideology. Starmer is a Blair tribute act and like Blair suffers from a severe case of Thatcherite neoliberalism...

  40.  @alanaw27  A) We still have to pay for the PM and politicians on top of that. B) The cost of the Royals is usually offset by the profits from the crown estate. But those profits do not belong to the Queen. Royalty costs tens of millions. The Crown Estate belongs to the state, it is owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign, by their ascension to the throne. But it is not the private property of the monarch, it cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the monarch.

  47. Stop being mean to the Tories. Are you aware that most Tory MPs have never had the benefits of a happy family upbringing? That most Tory MPs were brought up by paid help or a Nanny? That some Tory MPs only know their parent's name because it is displayed on their Trust Fund? Please give generously to these amoral victims of privilege and elitism...

  49. Almost the same headline as another tabloid rag, you know the Tories always complain about immigration but it's increased steadily since they took power? Do they force you to write this nonsense?
