NB:

If you criticise Corbyn or any of his policies, it automatically means that you are a Tory voting cvnt.

That's Robbing's contribution to this thread, in a nutshell.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Except I haven't done that. You are such a massive hypocrite you absolutely have to be a wum.

It's embarrassing Winston, just let normal people chat and enjoy the site please.

You did that to me last time and yet again, you've assumed that because I'm anti-nationalisation of our railways that must mean I think our railways are brilliant and therefore I read the Daily Mail.

You really need to grow up and learn to debate like an adult - your contribution on this thread is laughable.

This notion that socialism and bringing public services cannot work is the biggest right wing con of modern times. Frances railway works just fine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Isn't that the railway system that ground to a halt last year as workers walked out?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, strikes happen. They disrupt normal operations.

Using a strike as a means to suggest that a service is not normally good is like conomaining about how bad your butcher is if you o ly he there when it is closed.

Oh and do point out any hypocrisy when you come across it, there's a good lad.

I suggest you look into the subject a bit further before you make that judgement.

It's the very fact that the French railways are nationalised that have enabled them to be shut down for such long periods of time.

Free?

Who pays for it then?

Who pays for the infrastructure that’s already been invested in by the current providers?

How do you go about changing provider if you’re not happy with the service you’re getting?


Bloody Corbyn and his magic money tree to the rescue.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, that’ll be the same magic money tree that the Tories have magically found just before an election.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That magic tree is called borrowing.

Conservatives hav said about £20bn extra borrowing, which sets a new cap of about 3% of GDP.

Labour are proposing £55bn extra borrowing, about 5% of GDP. Last time it was this high, 1976, Britain faced financial crisis. The Labour government was forced to apply to the IMF for a loan of nearly $4 billion. IMF negotiators insisted on deep cuts in public expenditure, greatly affecting economic and social policy.


Brings to mind the famous quote, Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Jeremy, the 1970s are calling, they want their policies back!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah yes, the 1970’s, when education was free, people got paid a decent wage for the work they did, and youngsters could actually afford to leave home and get a place or their own before the age of 40.

How awful.

What is Labour's plan re the four day working week, for the NHS?

They seemed to contradict themselves yesterday when they stated it wouldn't apply to NHS workers but also that it would. And if they plan to put 26bn into the NHS, where will this money go on the assumption there is reduced working hours.

Personally I think a four day working week for emergency services is a terrible idea

Or just tax people properly. Why is so hard to understand? Look at who donates to the Tory party, look at who owns the telegraph and where they live. Wake up!!

Either way if they can find £500bn to bail out their banking mates and spend umtpeen billions more on murder submarines they can afford to let their citizens starve.

Schools are barely open five days a week, kids are hungry, people are dying, the NHS is being sold off.

What's wrong with people that they can be okay with this?

These policies are becoming more farcical by the day Basically resorted to free money for all.

Such a shame Labour don't have a sensible leader who would position themselves to the centre left. They would cruise to a majority.

Most emergency services operate on 4 day shift patterns anyway.

yes I was going to add that to my post but wondered if anyone would bring it up.

I have doctor friends who work shifts, eg four days on four off etc. So how would the four day week be implemented.

Also, on the plan for the wider economy in general, will the four day week be mandatory or voluntary, and if people opt in, would employers be permitted to reduce wages accordingly?

Do you think they could get some money but not letting billionaires avoid oodles of tax?

Either way the Tories have managed to not only be complicit towards the death of thousands upon thousands of deaths but they did so by managing to double the deficit in the process,

NBot saying you do but across the board if you vote Tory you don't give a sh!t about people and you're a cvnt imo.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

But consider where we would be....sure austerity has been too deep and too long in some areas but Christ! where would our borrowing be now if austerity had not happened....and what brought it about? A massive financial crisis on Labour's watch....while they may not have been the cause the position they had the economy in left us massively exposed. Massive borrowing. Huge State. Brown selling off half our gold reserves at the bottom of the market. Times were good but they were in some bubble, saw no problems and when it burst it was catastrophic.

£50k debt once they’ve left University and will never be able to afford their own homes.

It’s the older generation who’ve had it easy, feee education, cheap housing, and all the benefits of EU membership for forty years.

But that's not the same is it. Stop adding two and two and making five. I'm suggesting trying to apply a blanket four day week to emergency services wouldn't work since it relies largely on shift work and on-call work etc

posted on 15/11/19

Pretty much.

I think the real thing is that people can't believe that working less hours can work. That's where they have got us. That it's okay to work 60 hour weeks and still be in poverty, that there is not better way, it's a scam.

In France you're literally not allowed to work that many hours as a nurse. Having been a nurse and now working in healthcare recruitment I can absolutely tell you that they way the Tories have run the NHS into the ground is nothing short of dangerous.

PEOPLE ARE DYING FFS.

I get people don't like Corbyn but at least have the ball to say;

You want schools to be underfunded and open part time
You want there to be too few Police
You want nurses to be underpaid
You want chidlren to be hungry
You want people dying on the streets
You want people failed on their health assessments on purpose
You want your own citizens to be deported after 50 years here
You want Grenfell
You want poor public services

You'd still be a cvnt but at least there would be a grudging respect for actually being honest
