Granny Danger Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Whatever you think of the proposed Corbyn/May debate, the way it is being reported in the MSM is shocking. Because Corbyn favours one format and May another it is being reported as ‘Corbyn running scared’. The lack of impartiality by most of the MSM was laid bare during the Independence debate and has been highlighted again during the Brexit debacle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbyn is totally opposed to these free-lance superheroes who are unaccountable to the wider electorate and who undermine the credibility of an overstretched police force consisting of thousands of hard working men and women trying to make a living wage to feed their families. Police numbers take a serious drop. Hey who cares, when you can get one superhero to do the same thing, take all the credit and never asked to be paid! Can't see Corbyn wanting to imitate any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Ironically, the majority who are coming out with the "can't we just get on with it" line, actually have no idea or indeed care about Politics or Economics and would rather be discussing X factor and "I'm a celebrity", they're probably just scunnered that this "Brexit nonsense" is detracting from the coverage of their favourite reality TV shows. Sad................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the vast majority of MPs recognise that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tory policies are baked into the single market, Lisbon and the Stability and Growth Pact. The Tories and the EU both implement neoliberalism and opposing one without also confronting the other is pointless. It's amusing continually hearing how our future economy is completely dependent on EU membership but none of the negative aspects of the economy which have developed in the past 40 years have anything to do with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schroeder brought in the Harz reforms which changed the labour marker and welfare system and Merkel has continued the trend. Germans are facing the same economic pressures and social stratification as people in the UK, we are just further down the line. http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/inquality-and-wealth-distribution-in-germany-a-1190050.html According to Spiegel the bottom 50% of Germans own 2.26% of the nation's wealth. The top 10% own 66%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Looking at the OECD figures on income inequality, EU membership does not seem to be a significant factor. The UK is one of the worst in the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
