Now any party calling for standard keynesian fiscal expansion with a moderate social democratic agenda (corbyn 2017) gets to be classed as "far left". Just making the argument isn't enough. The argument needs to be sneaked into current discourse so that people don't recognise it at first. The current nhs fetish is a great opportunity. I don’t think that’s the case in Scotland tbh. I reckon Keynesian fiscal expansion would be very much the order of the day; when stimulus needed obviously. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Is it possible that the old boys network might have taken out the city? Looks like it might be just mone laundering and tax evasion left for them soon, and the Dutch have a pretty solid offshore network too so even that's not guaranteed. I'm planning to walk around my garden to raise £1000 to 'Save The City'. But they'll have to wait, I'm not 100 for another 36 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks likely but fairly marginal, based on https://www.bsa.natcen.ac.uk/media/39400/bsa37_social-inequality-in-england-and-scotland.pdf maddeningly the preceding chapter covers attitude to tax and spend but isn’t broken down between nations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a believe that when the government of the day is championing the case for greater social equality then it will change minds. I hope I am not being over optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 All of these "I voted Brexit and this isn't what I ordered!" quotes were amusing for a while, but have swiftly become depressing as all f**k. Boris and Farage must pish themselves every time they read something like this. So many people seem to have actually taken them seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule Brittania” that wanted immigration stopped at any cost. Some others like the zoomer above that actually believed the lies and thought they’d be picking gold from the streets. Too stupid to dig deeper than the soundbites and they probably swung the vote. Well they got what they voted for but unfortunately they’ve taken the rest of us down with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. Anyone who does challenge these views is generally dismissed as a "lefty" or a member of the "liberal metropolitan elite" who doesn't have common sense and couldn't possibly understand these issues from within their ivory towers. The Tories and UKIP have done some job in reinforcing these fuckwits' prejudice. Edited February 14, 2021 by tongue_tied_danny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The reason we are where we are is that the political parties, Labour being the biggest culprits, did not tackle these racist fuckwits and challenge their simplistic Daily Mail assumptions.Absolutely, the fact that even now umpteen years after the Brexit campaign there are still millions of uk residents that thought leaving the EU was required to deport people here "illegally " (and let's not beat about the bush here they primarily didn't mean white Europeans) is an absolute embarrassment. They see as many dinghies crossing the channel today as they did pre Brexit and can't grasp that this can be so, Brexit would see international law trumped and the "brown" people arriving on the beaches sent back "home" ignoring totally that absolutely none of that has anything to do with the EU bar geographically where the beach they launched their dinghy from was situated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people genuinely upset over this? Garden Centres used to sell seed boxes where you would place light bulbs in a box, cover them with a tray and then fill the tray with soil and seeds. In other words, deliberately designed to take advantage of the inefficiency of these light bulbs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people genuinely upset over this? Where have you been? Folk have been bitching about energy saving light bulbs since they were first introduced. I'm just surprised it's such a low percentage. Curious about how many of those asked would want to "kick out all the darkies", but that's a question for a new policies survey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
