Lynn, you dont have to point out the blooming obvious, even though you felt an overwhelming need to. All, and what I know is that we decent a decent State pension in this country for men and woman aged 60. But the right wing politicians we have had for over 30 years in this country have easily managed not only to divide us, but to also put each other at each others throats. Meanwhile I am trying ...

Pete, my posting is not about "winding people up".  It is about people across the UK of any age who voted for these ultra right wing Tory's in 1980 starting with Margaret Thatcher, and continuing with David Cameron, We have not had decent one nation left of centre Conservatism since the days of Ted Heath, and as such I feel very strongly that because the British largely are neither interested in ...

Chris, we have become a throwaway society, we just dont care what we drop, or where we drop it.  Come to that, we dont care what we do either.

Mcjrpc.  I have never worked in Europe but have gained knowledge from learning about Western Europe's social and economic culture. Im not talking about determination.  I am saying that some people literally know what they want to do, and by hook and by crook they do it. The right wing are all about low income tax which we have, and a small State which we almost have.  I am neither. I believe in ...

To one and all.  The reason behind councils wanting more money is becauseeeeeeee, wait for it!.   Local authorites are being deprived of cash, and why. ?.  Now this is the difficult bit. Across Western Europe the role of the State plays a vital part in investment and subsidy.  The EU spends much more of its GNP on its vital services at both local and national level that our right wing government's ...

Hi, ive just come onto this forum, and I notice its very quiet except for a few people.   I wonder why this chap left the forum ?, after all we are all entitled to our view. Can somebody tell me please, why this chap left the forum ?

Okay allow me please to share some facts with you. Thatcher cut our income taxes in the 80's, and our National Insurance contributions.  This is when our privatisations began. Britain's enterprise culture demands low income tax. We pay lower income tax compared to Western industrialised Europe. Factually and political Britain is fast losing the role of the State, and what the State provides in tax ...

OLD FART referes to the Tory's as dim wits, this could not be further from the truth.  The Torty's have a simple agenda to roll back the state and take the country back to victorian exploitation in working conditions and pay. It has been right wing arroagance running this country since Thatcher, and so the sooner people like our friend OLD FART realise this, the better.

OLDFART, This is just the point.  Cutting welfare under Cameron is not about costs.  Cameron's right wing Tory's are cutting welfare because they are ideologically opposed to the welfare State.  And they are using the deficit as a cover for doing this.

Lynne, I feel sorry for the young people of today because they have and are inheriting the aftermath of over 30 years of the British adult electorate voting for ultra right wing Tory Government's including New Labour 1997- 2010. As a result of this, there is no alternative to the right wing. In the name of real democracy, we need an alternative to the right wing agenda running this country since ...

OLD FART, An in-out referendum on Europe would be a tragedy because the British people are told nothing about the positives of Europe.  Only the negatives care of the Sun and the Mail

Lynne, I could not agree more.  I was refering to the European's who uphold their industries and manufacturing bases via taxation, pay better wages, and fair taxes based on abilty to pay. Yes the British taxpayer is indeed subsidising a so-called free market in tax credits, pensions credits,  and housing benefit, and a means test for pensioners costing more than uprating State pensions to a decent ...

I say to Paul, Brussels are not running Britain.  And never has been. What has been running Britain is decades of right wing Tory policy, including privatisation of our utilities under Thatcher, and privatisation of our railways in 1992 under John Major.

Well said roberta.

Ive also read your postings roberta.  It seems some people at least on this site have all their eggs in one basket so to speak .
