You're quite right Tony, How awful of me - I should realise that multi-millionaire, former company director Phillip Hammond has had very few priveleges in life and so his decisions and involvement in Government policy are no doubt drawn from deep experience of a life of deprivation and envy....And using Jeremy Corbyn to "support" your argument? Cool move Bro'. He's another twunt in my book. p.s. Hammond's far from the worst of them., I do agree on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also spent her career concerned with the plight of the impoverished, our connectedness to self, nature and the universe, the relationship between pain and identity, and imagined, one day, we could live in a classless society. I plagiarised that from a Guardian article, by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 5, 2017 Moderator Share Posted October 5, 2017 In some respects the side show is only taking place because the actual content of the speech was so underwhelming. We apparently need 100,000 houses yesterday so the solution is to build 5,000 council houses a year... that really is a drop in the ocean. In 20 years time how many houses will we need when they’ve built the 100,000 that we need now. I’ve seen it mentioned in many places that the new ideas / policies in that speech are Labour Lite, they aren’t really, they are just an attempt (a very poor one) to bring straying voters back into the fold. It won’t work, this is the Tory Party, no one apart from the hard core faithful believe them. For all their attacks on Labour during the conference, to then go and try to appease voters with extremely watered down Labour policies is an indication of exactly where the Tories are. A party riven by divides trying to maintain their core vote whilst trying to gain ground but most importantly they are actually bereft of ideas, or at least ideas that the electorate will respond to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
