Guest Bob Mahelp Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Got to admire the chutzpah of the Tories. Take a load of Labour policies, wrap them up in some right wing populism, add a touch of xenophobia, and hey presto you've got The Telegraph, Express and Daily Mail banging on about how wonderful the budget is. It all just goes to prove how much of an unelectable fuckwit Jeremy Corbyn was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Jim Swire was on the radio talking about it, I fear he won't live to see the truth from listening to him.Aye, i heard him interviewed before the decision. He just seems like such a decent, dignified man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Listening to the radio about folk worrying about their incomes right now. Apparently everything is on the table - universal basic income, a temporary workers credit payment, abolishing the 5 week wait for universal credit...could end up being a decent chance to change the welfare system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I can't see UBI being the solution to this as if it's enough to live on lots of low paid workers in essential services might decide working for poverty wages is a daft idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Revealing documentary about Dominic Cummings on BBC 2 earlier on tonight. Despite his protestations of no party affiliations and hints of anti elite pro working class sympathies, his background is in arguing for the privatisation of education and health, big fan of the Iraq war apart from paying too much heed to the UN naysayers (Britain and the US should have ignored them from the start), and spouting far right replacement theory about Europe getting invaded by Muslims. The false start of letting the coronavirus run rampant and unimpeded to build up herd immunity sounds very much his way of thinking along with his eugenicist chums. Worth a watch anyway on iplayer, 9pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
