Socialism

Up the workers!

That's the problem with nationalisation; plenty then don't bother to work

Is that from Minfords analysis?

 

[Notch7]

Are you happy seeing us lurch to the far right, or change and go extreme left?

yeah -neither are great options.

There are some really good MPs in the main parties, but they arent at the helm.

The current economic system has created a few winners and many losers and needs to be rebalanced. So now we see movements from the Left and Right push their agendas.

Labour creates too many layabouts

If they put their ideologies on the back burner and solved problems without resorting to politics or seeing how well this policy can win voters we would all be in a better place. Politics as it is now stinks.

It's not hard. Some services should be publicly provided others we should let the market decide whats best. You will probably need some sort of national investment bank that can invest in deprived areas to create jobs so many of those living with little opportunity can work their way out of their council estates. The bank can take a longer term view and externalities. Getting people off the welfare system through positive action and opportunity.

IMHO some things like water and the railways should be state owned and taken back into state ownership

Trouble is Labour have always struck me as anti self employed

 

[noseall]

I thought you were self employed?

I'm still a worker. Spread the wealth I say.

 

[Notch7]

So Corbyn said today about raising corporation tax.

May was saying, UK will have lowest corporation tax in G20 and UK is a good country for business.

You can't unionise self employment.

 

[noseall]

You can't unionise self employment.

Don't need to.

All I need to do is make sure that the people who work for me have a share of the wealth and are fairly treated. I detest greed.

Really? Interesting. Labour peeps on telly recently saying how we need more social housing and the stigma of council housing needs to be stopped. Tory types agree apparently.

Do you own the company you work for or is it a family member you work for?

 

[noseall]

Do you own the company

Company? I'm just a sole trader innit.

is it a family member you work for?

​

I did a job for me old Ma t'uther day. Does that count?

 

[transam]

Very noble

Share of the wealth meaning ?

What ?

You pay them

It is already almost the lowest.

It could be increased and still be one of the lowest.

Some people think that more public money should be spent on, for example, the NHS and Social Housing.
