Think nothing of it, Minerve - although I rather think it's just as well I was doing some intense work yesterday morning and never saw the deleted posts!

[minerve 2] 11/6/2019 11:48

I apologise for yesterday's comments grahamite2.

I do find your attitude rather unpalatable at times but I shouldn't have said what I said.

What is an ISA? Is that not a handout?

No, it isn't. Any serious questions?

Shameless



She would have ruled herself out with this - if she weren't already a no-hoper.

It was indeed a super Tory wheeze to let the proles buy what they already owned and make some "capital" in the process - within a few years the big battalions own it all and then offload to foreign based capital. Selling the "Family Silver" indeed - big style. "Sid" got coppers in profit - the "haves" made areal killing. What jolly japes chaps!!

One thing you can say from abroad is that throughout the Thatcher years you were proud to be British and GB was highly respected wherever you travelled. The present time...…...how much of an opposite view can you get?

Anybody think now that May has stepped down...Corybn should also step down...the leaders of the 2 big parties have let down the voters...so round 2 with 2 new leaders...

The sooner we have a new PM the better .
The more they promote themselves the more embarrassing is the staggering lack of talent , insight and moral compass .
The only saving grace for this Agatha Christie like ‘Ten Little Idiots’
saga is the real winner will be the Scotland .
Whoever wins I believe it will hasten Scottish Independence and the return to the political wastelands for the Scottish branch of the British nationalist Tory party .

Alp: The ills of the Labour Party are predominently predicated on the election of JC as leader; a serial Protester with past-their-sell-by-date policies. On any promotion to power he could not hack it and would be sidelined.

[alphorn] 11/6/2019 11:07

The only acute comment that you could have about the Tory party is they don't have a clue what they are doing nor have any rational vision for the future. Throwing a few peanuts to the well off is no vision at all.

They are very lucky to have survived as the current Labour party is just as bad.

A dreadful state of affairs and a risk of a perfect storm if international economies turn down coupled with the domestic incompetence.

g2; I became a socialist by persuasion after growing-up in a Conservative Catholic family. Ultimately a simple journey after realising that the religious belief was bunkum; and that the political stance was similarly hierarchical.
Conservatives hate Nigel as you say, but only because they see themselves mirrored in him without any moral pretence.

very acute comment graham.

[ladeside] 11/6/2019 10:57

I don't think there's any of the Tories in the hall of horrors which will stop Scotland from breaking away.

They're now showing their true colours and are brazen about their "screw the poor" policies, as such they might win a leadership race but they can kiss the next GE goodbye as people are seriously waking up to them now and what they stand for........

[ladeside] 11/6/2019 10:54

Yes Minerve, the exact same way in which Trump is "draining the swamp" and "hitting back at the elite" in the USA where he's filled his entire cabinet and advisers with multi millionaire and billionaire friends of his.........

[mikemichael2] 11/6/2019 10:30

Min, why are you such a miserable git?

[minerve 2] 11/6/2019 10:19

Still waiting to hear the benefits to the average person of current-day crony capitalism.

I doesn't look like it is doing well from where I am sitting. If it was an animal it would have been put down many years' ago. (Along with its most fervent, ignorant supporters. LOL )

It wouldn't be so bad if some of the capitalists on this thread were well off but I bet most would be looking for you to bring your wallet out first at the local and then make a quick exit home on some excuse.

Caught a little of Andrea Leadsom's pitch.

All things to all, free, another socialist in disguise.


edit: And a closet remainer.

[grahamite2] 11/6/2019 10:05

bbalanjones, you really don't understand the Conservative Party, do you? No reason you should, of course, any more than I would understand the socialists.

But for your information, they hate Nigel Farage more than anyone else, more than Corbyn, even - for the simple reason that Nigel really is a conservative, which they are not.

[grahamite2] 11/6/2019 10:02

I stopped reading Polly Toynbee as soon as I got to "living in poverty."

[alphorn] 11/6/2019 09:34

Max #040. Your good is an excellent. ;)

With candidates like that my 'friend' POB will change their handle to Poorer Old Boy. (Worth the red ticks). ;)

[bbalanjones] 11/6/2019 09:02

They have a cunning plan - dig up Maggie T. Put some Iron back into the spine.

Failing that; there's always Trump and Putins' Loyal Stooge - Step forward Nigel Farage.

PS Some of the Iron in Maggies spine was as a residual of all the Tory knives into her back.

[maxk] 11/6/2019 08:48

So, how are the folks in charge going to rig the con party leadership election?

[pooroldboy55] 11/6/2019 08:39

Yes Polly so far left you can't see her !!!

[diku] 11/6/2019 08:34

The pairing will start soon...one drops out but will support the other candidate...you scratch my back I scratch your back...
