RiG Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 On 4/3/2018 at 12:18, JamieThomas said: The Ferret Fact Service, releasing an annual report of their fact checks from the Scottish parties here: https://theferret.scot/ferret-fact-service-fact-checking-numbers/ For those wanting a quick summary: SNP: 75% true/mostly true Labour 60% true/mostly true Conservative: 12% true/mostly true One of those percentages stuns me tbh. (Pro-tip: It's Labour, the dirty lying branch office c***s) Hot on the heels of this revelation the Tories try to clean up their act by, erm, lying again... The independent Ferret Fact Checking Service notes that only those earning above £33,000 will pay more tax in Scotland:https://theferret.scot/scottish-military-tax-higher-24000-fact-check/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) I wonder when the pension will be scrapped altogether. We've been told for many years that it will be 'unaffordable' and I remember 30 years ago that the pensions advisors I talked to warned that the state pension would some day disappear. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43654409 The auto enrolment increments seem like a way for the government to eventually stop paying pensions and just let everyone fend for themselves. Survival of the fittest. Quote Figures produced for the BBC suggest that someone who pays into an auto-enrolment pension from the age of 25 could eventually earn an annual income of up to £18,000 a year, on top of the state pension. This a quote from the article but I really don't believe that the pension will be here in 45 years.

Survival of the fittest. British people have massively under saved for decades. This is exacerbated by low growth in earnings from bonds and other low risk asset classes. Either drop the tax on alcohol and encourage everyone to drink themselves to an early grave or up the amount we save. Company contributions are also rising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things are much harder to do within the eu. Obviously we'd need to get a corbyn style government in place, and a brexit deal that isn't too restrictive. We'll even be able to cut APD without worrying about having to seek a new approval from the EU for exemptions for the Highlands and Islands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people of England are starting to twig on to what Scotland has experienced since 2012. Social media, the exposure of Cambridge analytics etc has started to make them doubt the ''news'' they are being fed, and not before time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I would be amazed if you’ll see any of the two parties move above 45% consistently in the polls. There’s clear distance between the two ideologically and the other parties bar the SNP are nosediving back into obscurity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate society so much I genuinely find it staggering that anyone can look at the likes of Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Gavin Williamson and think "these are the best people to run our country". We're rivalling the USA in how much of a clusterf**k we can make of our politics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
