you're dead on about poverty graham...the whole problem is that the sociologists hijacked the term in the sixties,when absolute poverty had all but been eliminated in the UK.So, doing what good sociologist mindbenders, do they invented the concept of relative poverty which is,basically,anything you want it to be. So they keep their professorial chairs while the GBP are subject to the demented ravings of the lefties for the next 50 years.

and I do want foreigners to interfere in the election they could do a lot better and what about Gina?

Plain speaking,from whatever source,is absolutely necessary.

How about a little bet Minerve ? If Labour win i will donate £200 to any charity of your choice, if Conservatives win you send me £200.

"John Bercow was widely tipped to enter the showbiz jungle after leaving the political bearpit of the House of Commons.

But the retiring Speaker scuppered his chances of being on I’m A Celebrity… by ­allegedly demanding a £1million fee.

News of his sky-high expectations came after he called last “order” on his 10-year role yesterday.

An ITV insider last night confirmed talks had taken place with Mr Bercow but had broken down over the fee.

And a source said: “John has priced himself out of the market by asking for £1million, far more than anyone’s ever been paid on the show."

What can you say, I mean what can you say.

Ignore grahamite, he is completely out to lunch.

He has an unsurpassed sense of self-entitlement brought about by doing very little it seems.

I don't believe the people sleeping in the doorway of the former BHS stores throughout our Towns & City's have "the latest phone, a 50" TV, two holidays a year and a motor car".

Do you graham ??

[grahamite2] 01/11/2019 10:26

Less than $1.90 a day really is poverty. Someone should tell the Rowntree Trust and the rest of the idiots who think poverty is not having the latest phone, not having a 50" TV, not having two holidays a year, not having a motor car.

Min I've added thanatophilia to your personality traits!

Need to buy more child body bags or create greater space for children in the morgue. If we sign a deal with the US and leave the EU you can pretty much guarantee that drug pricing is going to increase and some medicines, like some already, will be struck off the NHS list.

Think about that when you vote.

I will be able to sleep at night with a clean conscience. Not sure about others, that is if they ever had one.

You mean like pretending to love rugby, but only ever watching football!

My god, Brexiters are full of straw men arguments.

"If you add labour and lib votes as one automatically you have a popular vote but these two, independent, they don't win elections."

Yes, absolutely right.

But I am not the one making accusations like you that Trump and Boris carry the support of the majority of the electorate. That is obviously not true or not proven!

Is there another form of PPI in the pipeline?...

Clearly Corbyn thinks he CAN fool all the people all the time Alp - I don't ever recall seeing or hearing such a level of duplicity as that which issued from Corbyn's mouth yesterday.

Radio 2 news (5 o'clock on my way home) had interviews with 3 people in Carlisle (I think it was) who are all Labour - 2 seemed to think Corbyn is great and they would vote for him irrespective of the local candidate and the third was very unsure.

To all those who in the past on this board have criticised the UK for inequality, this is inequality and poverty.

"While China's economy has skyrocketed over the past decades, poverty has not disappeared, and inequality has grown.

The country's National Bureau of Statistics says that in 2017, 30.46 million rural people were still living below the national poverty line of $1.90 a day."

[fatnacker] 01/11/2019 09:16

No, you didn't mention it, must have slipped your mind.

Did I say Obama was right to interfere?

Idiot."

Boris is pretty left wing in many ways and he has criticized Trump strongly in the past. Those two could get on OK but no better than that.

Trump and Farage, on the other hand, are two peas in a pod. Farage has spoke at Trump rallies (and been very warmly received).

So naturally Trump would try and help his pal, but unfortunately the whole thing is misconceived. No-one welcomes intervention by foreigners in domestic politics. When John Major tried it, naturally Democrats didn't like it but neither did the undecided or even Republicans - you mind your own business and we'll mind ours was the reaction.

Semper, she needs more than a bit of shampoo, a head transplant would be nearer the mark!

[extrovert] 01/11/2019 08:58

Trump will reap more from the UK than the EU,not a pleasant thought.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. (Lincoln)

Never been so apt.

It's beginning to look like Boris is part of the problem, and not a solution.
