Should I vote Labour

Do you have any points to make for or against voting Labour, roses?

All these why should I vote blah blah started by ww will just all become a way for the left wing on GN to state their reasons why they hate the Tories ( which I have already heard on here, many many, wearying times.)
There will be ( have already been) insults ( by ww to POGS ) and there will be many more before we are done.There is no hope of civil comment on a single one of these threads.

The same as I said on the Conservative thread:
They can all say what they want though - achieving much of it when in government is the difficult part.

Oh yes, that one. They're probably wishing they hadn't come up with it now after all the flak...

I am only reporting what there is on the web site. If you know different please do let us know.

What about the suggested VAT on private school fees to pay for school dinners across the state system?

What??? Nothing at all for the unpaid farmers??

I wondered why farmers were getting a 17% deal
and thought 'about time too'
The supermarkets need to give them a fairer deal and 17% is a good start.

Honestly pogs you really are the limit at times


Keep going POGS!!
(Someone has to)

Oh! Item 3 is unpaid carers allowance and not farmers

the more information available the better ,in my opinion.After all isn't it the older generation who is getting blamed for the mess we are in with Brexit...maybe some can learn other views than their own before marking their X

From the Labour Web site

Labour will keep the triple lock on pensions
Labour will repeal the Trade Union Act.

Nikki W has already been involved in discussion, already shown happy to engage in discussion.

The same 14 points were put up on a post on the Voting Quandary thread by him/her.

Perhaps nikkiw is happy to provide the information but doesn't want to get involved in discussion?
What's the problem?

"For goodness sake is pedantry your middle name pogs".

No it's not! Just sick of GN becoming more and more a platform for Activists.

I remember when I first joined GN a few years ago how many posters were at the time openly stating they were Activists, there are many on of the same posters on GN still today.

Gransnet was a right royal battle at times but there was ' for the most part ' an unspoken need to respect how others voted, challenged posts and NOT overtly using Gransnet for such blatant Activism as I have noted for quite a while now.

I know I will come in for a further barrage of personal insult, such as you reduced yourself to doing, it's become par for the course.

Perhaps it is the way technology has progressed with the use of links, fake news etc. but I make no apology for saying what is on my mind. If that is pedantry in your opinion , that is your opinion.

Why doesn't nikkiw start a thread herself ?

For goodness sake is pedantry your middle name pogs

I started it the way I did in order that everyone recognised that it was not my research that contributed to the thread but someone else's

Honestly pogs you really are the limit at times

My point is I find it unusual for 'threads' to be started by the OP asking for permission from a poster or by presumably PM'ing them to ask for permission.

You will not agree with me, obviously , but I am plain speaking and I am wondering about your starting threads by such an unusual manner.

I know we have obviously posters who have stated they are !'Activists' but I just find this for some reason rather odd.

As I say you and others will feel differently but I have said my piece.

Is there anything in there to disagree with?

ana I am but in the mean time I'm bunging in any information that is available that people might like to read. That is all it is. Just information. You have a choice to read it or ignore it, I am totally neutral about that.

These threads are a silly idea anyway IMO. They'll just attract enthusiastic posts from supporters and a bit of quibbling about minor points.

Why can't you wait for the proper manifestos, whitewave?

But not sure if your point.

Yes

" This has been donated by nikkiw"

How unusual for a thread to start as such , that denotes you have either asked her/his permission or she/he has asked you start a thread on her/his behalf.
