Election Manifestos and Policies

[Filo]

Glad you pointed out corbyns friendship with the ira and other terrorist groups , give it a score of years and he be holding hands with a former isis leader .

How can anyone vote for Labour knowing who corbyn is happy to share a bed with.

I just don't understand why whoever in the Labour Party can't see that while corbyn is at the helm of Labour they are losing many many voters.

Gives me the impression that the Labour Party can't see infront of their own nose .


For sure the conservatives have their issues but they seem to be all about their policy's ,not that there is untold nut jobs within their ranks .

Don't think Corbyn was ever a member of the IRA, unlie this conservative lady

Anyway Filo, I am about as likely to declare it as you are putting your tips on your tax return.

Tips?

You've all on getting paid around here, never mind getting a tip 😀😀

Maybe I should ring you when I need a taxi. I always give a small tip.

I prefer large tips if there are any forthcoming 😀😀

VAT ?

Tories removed their previous manifesto pledge not to raise it. A suspicious person would say this is because they intend to raise it. Presumably you will tell us differently.

But they are going to cut corporation tax so you will be allright.

Read the question and what it relates to again FFS.
Nothing to do with raising or otherwise the VAT level.
Presumably you can understand then why I put VAT?

Since when did  require your permission to post an observation on here? What is factually incorrect in my post?

You need to wait until the Tories get back in until you control the internet and only allow postings you like on it.

[drfchound]

Lol,
You have resigned yourself to a Tory win then.
I will have a word with my Auntie Teresa when they do then.

The Tories usually say 'they have no plans' to do something unpopular. Then five minutes after they've been elected, they somehow manage to find some plans to do exactly whatever-it-is down the back of the sofa.

I have never voted before and I'm 44 AND NEVER BEEN INTRESTED IN POLITICS , as much as I think Jeremy Corbyn is dull I trust him and is for the people can he lead us into talks with Europe on the brexit vote yes he can the media play him down and make him look simple and plain I believe he his a man of his word and would die by it.
Theresa may I just don't trust her we have been under austerity under the Tories for the last 6 years and the national dept has increased, real people are suffering the only ones she seems to care about are the one with money and social care is a joke all you have to do is sign you house over to your kids or a charity if you have worked and lived in this country all your life old people should be looked after British or not maybe I have a heart , the national Dept will never get reduced we need to invest now in our kids so they have hope for the future

Why is it? It's not a gift, it's earned income.

[drfchound]

Only if they declare it of course otherwise no one would know about it.

So I see Boris Johnson has today said the £350m from the EU is costed in the Tory manifesto (it isn't). This hot on the heels of Philip Hammond who got his HS2 sums disastrously wrong. Interesting that both of these gaffes haven't received anywhere near the level of coverage that Diane Abbott's did.

"Every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us" and refused to identity as British. Diane Abbott or Wee Jimmy Krankie? Nice these pro EU'ers

What the f**k are you talking about?

Don't encourage him...

Jesus Christ, Theresa May's performance with Andrew Neil just now. She really is f**king rubbish, isn't she? This is the woman who's supposed to be negotiating the most important deal in our history soon.

If I give some  extra money to filo for driving his taxi from A to B it's because of the pleasent journey and he did not take longest route to point B .so as the giver I see it as a gift .

The difference is that you are giving it to him because of a service he provided you. It'd only be a gift to a taxi driver if you went up to one and gave him money without using his taxi.

In other words Glynn when you put it that way ,it's another way that whatever government Tory Labour or lord such have the opportunity to TAX you.

There is not a big tipping culture in the U.K. ,but out here it is quite normall to tip people in the service trade .

I have seen both the good sides and bad sides to this in oslo.

I have worked with Scandinavian bar tenders that are all tips tips tips ,while any British bar staff have a different outlook and mind set.

For sure both cultures like a tip but  many scandianavians will be happy to take tips for what's goes down in my book as shite service and having only a one track mind.

When my two lads make 20 years old I will push them into taking part time bar jobs in the hope it helps them to learn how to deal with people ,and I will have a word in their ears about been service minded.

I was working the bar one night with this noggy bar man and it was quite busy for a Monday night but not packed.the deal with the pub was that all bar staff share all tips at the end of the night which I enforced some years before.

On this Monday night a gent was in from America with about 15 of his work colleges and he left his card behind the bar to run a tab.(big mistake in my book but that's another issue).

They was in the pub for a good 6 hours as they all had drinks on the yanks tab .even put the American college football on for them on one of the tvs in the corner but with no sound as it would fcuk up the karaoke for other customers.

When it come to paying the bill I run every drink on the tab into till and gave him a bill that stated every item bought and how much.
My bill numbers were exactly matched what he had secretly noted down.

He went on to say how pleased he was payed the bill with a 3000kr tip which was £300 ,I was taken back and  a tad embarrassed by the amount of the tip but the yank would not budge .

The noggy bar man  then was all over the yank like a rash which really pissed me off as he had been useless all night as I was carrying him basically.

So after the yank signed for his bill I then bought 3 bottles of champagne out of the tips for the yank and his party and 'I had him over dude' in his words .

This meant that in the matter of one transaction the noggy bar man gained a £150 tip reduced to a £75 tip as quick as you could say 'noggy w**ker'

During the closing routine of checking all the stock in the bar and cleaning up etc etc the noggy bar man had wound me up that much about what I had done I had to give him a rabbit punch to wind him and sent him home which left me doing 3 hours  extra work of stock checking and matching the numbers and cashing up and cleaning.

Don't quite know why I typed that shite but I feal better for it.

He wanted peace in Ireland and has condemned all bombings (yes, even by the IRA). This is a man with A Gandhi Peace Award and a man who supported Mandela.

[GazLaz]

I'm not a Corbyn fan particularly but anyone who says he is an IRA sympathiser is either brainwashed or retarded.

Did she not have a good look in the mirror before she turned up for that interview ,as that black belt
she had on was pointless .

Wrong signals sent out   to be seen wearing any red coloured clothing  should have gone for whatever shade of blue.

As for the interview ,that was just as bad as her dress sense.

Dear God, half an hour of incessant sloganeering and ignoring the questions. She'd never get away with it in a televised debate, that's why she won't do one - it'd expose her facade for what it is completely and to the widest audience of the campaign.

Mind you, it's a pity that when Neill was repeatedly asking her about the Dementis Tax cap U-turn four days after the manifesto was published that he didn't ask her whether this was an example of the strength and stability of government that she's been hectoring people to vote for..!
