The question is the wrong way round - the unions give Labour direction. That's why they were cackling with laughter: it was like asking the colonel if he takes direction from the sergeant.

It makes me laugh when he describes gangs of gun/knife wielding thugs roaming the transport network - and then says the solution is a 55 year old former ticket clerk with a gammy leg. What's he going to do exactly?

The reason they laughed when asked if Labour directed unions, is because unions direct Labour.

@andrewfrancis3591 Why would they need to? Labour mortgaged the country to push up public sector pay again and again. Labour generously paid off their union paymasters with taxpayers money.

@andrewfrancis3591 So higher debt to GDP is a problem - but the solution to economic problems is Keynesianism (I.E. more debt)? So tell me - how much extra GDP are we getting for each additional unit of debt? "Trying to understand economics as a piggy bank, is totally naïve" Actually it has a much rather better record than the "magic money tree" theory which the left have crashed one economy after another with again and again.

@philking7505 I think you need to go and find out what "compound interest" is. Much like "border control", no one on the left ever seems to have heard of it.
1
@philking7505 "It doesn't quite work that way with Government Bonds" Actually yeah it does - that's why servicing the debt becomes more of a burden the higher the debt goes. "ignoring that austerity was supposed to reduce It" There was no austerity. Spending has gone up every year. "we need immigration" No we don't. The left are ideologically committed to it because the see white Brits as "bad" and needing to be replaced, and the corrupt elites like Sunak like it because it depresses wages. And both cheeks of the arse like it because it enables "divide and rule" tactics.

@andrewfrancis3591 Lol - screaming insults is always the sign of losing the debate. Thanks for playing kiddo.

@andrewfrancis3591 Ta ta. Enjoy being a brainless zombie your whole life.

@philking7505 Which is why it's so tiresome for me to have to educate you on the most basic facts.
1
@philking7505 And you think debt doesn't matter - I'm guessing that's. . . . .being given pocket money by daddy economics?
1
@philking7505 Wait - so the Tories spent too much (rising debt), but also didn't spend enough (austerity)? People like you are why Diane Abbott is an MP.
1
@philking7505 And oh boy are you "mismanaging" your extremely scarce intellectual resources.
1
@philking7505 I have this condition that makes it hard for me to understand non-sensical gibberish.
1
@philking7505 Magic money tree. Debt doesn't matter. Too much spending but also not enough spending. 1.1 million immigrants a year and over a million unemployed is "a labour shortage". . . . . I bet you think men can get pregnant too don't you? After all - science (like maths) is just a far-right plot to make you feel stupid right?
1
@philking7505 "I told you debt was importante" Ah yes - your brilliant "we have too much debt because we don't spend enough" theory. Did they teach you that in engineering school? The fact that you have no idea what the immigration stats are, proves the point perfectly - you are totally ignorant of every relevant fact. You just repeat mindless clichés you read in Teen Vogue or whatever god awful pit of genetic dead-ends you take your daily brainwashing from. Go play with your Lego mister "engineer".

@philking7505 No you reduce debt by spending less you innumerate plank. And if immigration is the key to growth, how come growth is stagnant after 1.1 million (more - because illegals) in a year? Did you ever think about that? Have you ever thought about ANY of these dogmatic clichés you parrot? You lot don't even know the difference between male and female - yet you think we should listen to your vacuous rantings about how to run an economy.
1
@philking7505 You don't think that that much extra debt rather brings into question your claim that there WAS "austerity"? Oh no of course you don't - the cult says "believe two opposing things" so of course you do. Still - at least you FINALLY went and found out some basic immigration figures that you should have known before expressing an opinion. Now that you've discovered that my number WAS correct after you claimed it wasn't - will you now admit that with half a million a year "normally" and a over a million last year - your blind ideological claim that it leads to growth is obviously wrong? "you cant know how poor growth would be without immigration." Well we had much lower immigration in the 80s and 90s, and solid growth, certainly better than now. So actually yeah - we do. "Why the obsession with gender roles" I didn't ask you about "roles", I asked you about male and female. Apparently the "engineer" doesn't know the difference. . . . . . . . .

@philking7505 "So when the Government announced that austerity was to be ended" They were pulling a con-trick designed to deceive, naïve, gullible, low-intelligence, low-information people like you: who never do any research and never think. "It rose massively in the 90s" After 1997 when Labour came to power. When the boom of the 80s-90s ended and our problems all started multiplying. Since you had no idea (to even the nearest million) what immigration was until I told you - it might be a good idea for you to listen more and talk less. Immigration has VASTLY outstripped the aging of the native population - and growth has stagnated. Therefore your ideology is complete and total excrement. I'll ask again mr "engineer" - can men get pregnant? It's funny you're so shy about this: is because you know if you say what you were told by your cult, you're going to sound even more stupid than you already do?

@philking7505 "but austerity didnt exist according to you" Oh FFS. No it's according to the DATA. Not everything is about feelings for crying out loud. "Your 1.1m was for 1 years" That was what I told you genius - and you tried to be snarky about it, then discovered I was correct. You've learned nothing from that experience I see. "Stats show that immigrants are net contributors to the economy" They certainly make the rich richer by supressing wages and inflating house-prices. But they hurt ordinary people for the same reason - hence why a huge chunk of the Labour vote defected in 2019. And there's the small matter of all the crime, terrorism, racial tensions and collapse of national identity of course: but I know leftists see all of that as a "good" thing for some reason. "you need to have a look at Blair/ Brown's economic performance" Staggering additional debt. Endless war. Dumping our gold reserves at rock bottom. Rising taxes. Massive expansion of government. More people paid to do nothing. . . . . . But hey - Brown "abolished boom and bust" right? That was in 2007 I think. . . . . .

@philking7505 "no, men cant have children" Yes they can - they just can't get pregnant. How old are you? You seem incredibly hazy about basic biology.
1
@philking7505 Oh ho ho! Look at this - finally out of cliched, dogmatic answers are we? Did the the cult not tell you what to do when someone actually uses facts? Look kiddo, either address the points I raised or piss off. I'm the one doing you a favour by educating you here: so it's no skin of my nose if you have a tantrum and run away.

@philking7505 I'll post it again since you apparently missed it the first time. Please try to concentrate this time - I'm already taking time out of my day to educate you, the least you can do is pay attention. "but austerity didnt exist according to you" Oh FFS. No it's according to the DATA. Not everything is about feelings for crying out loud. "Your 1.1m was for 1 years" That was what I told you genius - and you tried to be snarky about it, then discovered I was correct. You've learned nothing from that experience I see.

@philking7505 1. Yeah - when you keep rocketing the debt, everyone has less money for everything. It's not rocket science, despite your fairy-land idea that we can shrink the debt by adding more debt. I'm afraid the more debt you take on, the more you have to spend servicing it. However ignorant you are of this fact. 2. Actually you had no idea whatever what the immigration numbers were until I told you. Now you're bitching because it turned out I was telling you the truth, and your garbage dogma about infinite immigration boosting GDP turned out to be as stupid as it sounds. 3. "Employers drive down wages if they can" Oh dear lord give me strength. . . . . . What do you think enables employers to offer low wages genius? Do you think millions and millions of new workers all competing for jobs might have that effect maybe? Supply - demand. Look it up. 4. "How are all these low paid workers driving up house prices?" More people = more need for housing = higher prices. What is it about leftists that makes them so spectacularly stupid? 5. "Most racial tension is generated by people of your mentality" Did people like force Muslim gangs to rape tens of thousand of British children and then force the Labour party to actively protect those paedophile gangs and threaten victims with prosecution for racial hatred? And people like you enabled it the whole way, cheered it the whole way, and told people like me we were the problem for talking about it. Because you hate this country, and hate its people. "Victims should shut up for the good of diversity" - as your kind shrieked. 6. "the market fell because our plans to sell were leaked by the treasury" Ah yes thanks for reminding me. not only were Labour so criminally incompetent they gave away our gold at rock bottom prices, they were also so criminally, so treasonously dumb: they actually TOLD the markets they were going to do it. The Labour party are a gang of traitors and criminals - aided and abetted by brain dead cattle like you.

@philking7505 "Taxes are at the highest level in 70 years" Debt keeps going up - you have to pay more to service the debt. This fact does not go away just because you keep shrieking "la la not listening not listening!" Labour were in power in 2003. They had the intelligence briefings, they lied about those briefings to gain support, and they are 100% responsible. Blair is a war criminal and a traitor.

@philking7505 Where have I denied that debt has gone up under the Tories you brainless, witless, gormless, mindless, simpering moron? Whining that me telling you the accurate number (which you claimed wasn't true) was "misleading" - perfectly sums up your whole brain-dead, cultist, tribal attitude. I'm sick of the ignorance, stupidity, spite, arrogance, irresponsibility and short-sightedness of people like you. You're destroying this country with your "my dogmatic clichés matter more than your facts" mentality.
1
@philking7505 "You denied It first message" Where? Quote. "I asked for your sources on 1.1 million" No - you flat out denied it because you're ignorant, and you think your ignorance is just as good as my knowledge. "It only demonstrates interlect" Lol. You literally can't even SPELL "intellect" you lobotomized plank.
1
@philking7505 Lol - can't find that quote you claimed existed then? Thought not. We'll add "integrity" to "intelligence, knowledge, reason, logic and basic maths and English" on the list of qualities you spectacularly lack.
