That is a factor of x28 and doesn't include the hundreds of billions it would entail to nationalise Gas, Electricity, Post Office, Water etc. etc.

Nor does it include the figure of close to £60 billion to compensate WASPI (my wife included).

There is growing evidence large companies are preparing to move there operational financial assets abroad should Steptoe win the election so what of the profits and resultant job losses this would entail?

Even more importantly, who will end up paying for the financial and economic meltdown?

Pretty obvious, the working masses.

Marxism and socialism in action, the state remains in control of everything and the people pay for it by one means or another.

Some young woman on Sky News said it did, that bit I highlighted in your comment jim. I did not believe word of it as she came across as a know all Marxist she was in the right and everyone else is a liar.

[Jimbuna]

She is most definitely wrong and I have that from an internal authority on the matter.

Just been listening to the radio they were saying the poll of polls puts bojo on 40 plus seats.

Seems some what high to me.

So good that right now things are so different, eh?

Maybe if the "working masses" (where obviously no one here belongs to) would stop to watch right wing media tailored for their desinformation, there could be some progress.

Labour has announced a policy to compensate some of the women who lost out as a result of changes to the pension age.

The campaign for compensation has been led by the group Women Against State Pension Inequality (Waspi).

Under a Labour government, women born between 6 April 1950 and 5 April 1955 would be paid £100 for each week of entitlement lost.

Those born between 6 April 1955 and 6 April 1960 would receive smaller amounts.

Labour's Angela Rayner told BBC News: "The government failed the women who were born in the 1950s. They stole their pension."

The maximum compensation would be £31,300, with an average payment of £15,380.

Labour says the policy would cost about £58bn, paid in instalments over five years.

Labour's John Healey told BBC News: "This is not normal government spending - it's not a regular spending commitment - that's why it wasn't costed as part of our grey book exercise."

The grey book is the document Labour released alongside the manifesto that has costings for all day-to-day spending.

General election 2019: Chief Rabbi attacks Labour anti-Semitism record

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50552068

Labour are a disgrace on this matter, years this has been going on and still they hardly do a thing.

[Jimbuna]

The Labour Party are the only party other than the British National Party to be investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission into allegations of antisemitism.

Says it all for me.

[Jimbuna]

Labour plans to teach British Empire injustice in schools.

Children will be taught about injustice and the role of the British Empire as part of the national curriculum under Labour, the party says.

At the launch of his race and faith manifesto on Tuesday, Jeremy Corbyn will say a new trust will educate on how to address the legacy of slavery.

He will also set out policies on how to combat anti-Semitism in Britain.

The Tories said it was "staggering" to see Labour "lecture people" during a probe over claims of anti-Semitism.

How can anyone be naive enough to vote for a terrorist sympathiser holding so much contempt for his own country.

This is nothing short of treason I reckon.

I'd have answered that if you hadn't of deleted it

^ What does this organisation say about whistleblowers?

[Jimbuna]

It would appear the leader of the Church of England is concerned enough to add his weight on the matter.

The archbishop of Canterbury has in effect backed the chief rabbi’s comments on the Labour leadership’s record on antisemitism with a tweet highlighting the “deep sense of insecurity and fear felt by many British Jews”.

Justin Welby does not explicitly refer to the Labour party, but his intervention a few hours after the chief rabbi’s excoriating public criticism of Jeremy Corbyn is significant.

In an article in the Times, Ephraim Mirvis, Britain’s most senior Jewish leader, accused Corbyn of allowing a “poison sanctioned from the top” to take root in the party, saying the way the Labour leadership had dealt with anti-Jewish racism was “incompatible with the British values of which we are so proud – of dignity and respect for all people”.

Welby posted on Twitter: “That the chief rabbi should be compelled to make such an unprecedented statement at this time ought to alert us to the deep sense of insecurity and fear felt by many British Jews. They should be able to love in accordance with their beliefs and freely express their culture and faith.”

Labour will continual to say we are sorting the matter out and say this and that. Words mean nothing the evidence speaks for itself, year in year out always popping up on the news and labour MP's defect to the Libdems.

SHAME ON YOU THE LABOUR PARTY

As for the nameless one his words and actions stand out from here to the moon! Anyone voting Labour is short sighted or supports organisations that are criminals.

[STEED]

The nameless one was on the news giving another BS statement on equality, after the few lines the lie meter went off and I turned off.


MOVING ON......

Former Conservative Deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine has urged Tory voters to back Lib Dem or independent candidates in next month's poll.

Lord Heseltine, who served under Margaret Thatcher and John Major, said Boris Johnson's Brexit policy would be "utterly disastrous" for the country.

He said the PM's "get Brexit done" by January slogan was "nonsense" and there was still a risk of a no-deal exit.

But cabinet minister Michael Gove said his ex-colleague was "wrong" on this.

The old saying is the older you get the more right wing you get. I say here is the evidence to suggest that is not true, granted old Tarzan shifted from centre right to centre left and now further left. Any further left and he will be strapping on a big pair of Marxist bobber boots.
