For anyone who hasn't seen the latest Corbyn smears in the Sun and DM.

Agreed, Tegan. Perhaps norose could explain how May will give anyone a fairer society, as she hasn't done so far in her seven years in power.

'perhaps many of us are looking for a better/different way of finding a fairer society?'....if that's the case, why would anyone vote Conservative??

That we don't understand what we are trying to say to each other

What's your point, norose?

Sorry, Rigby, but I want a fairer society.
I was talking about just that yesterday with two Danish teenagers, who were telling me that people there will pay higher taxes because they know that if they need help they will get it without having to beg for it.
That's what I want for our society, a society where nobody has to beg or go to foodbanks.

Exactly my point Durhamjen

Sorry, what's an isum?

You don't get that I have looked at all the issues, and decided who will provide the best solutions as I see them for the country as a whole.
So how is that any different to the way you think, norose?

I have spent all day looking at three charts giving all the different positions from all manifestos from all parties, and decided who to vote for tomorrow.
Have you done that?

I think there's less interest in achieving a fairer society. It's more individualistic - the post war consensus was finally buried by Thatcherism. I was listening to a phone in once that to me encapsulated the shift. A woman rang and said that it wasn't fair that public sector workers received decent pensions when she didn't. What she wanted was for others to have their pensions taken away, not to improve things for people like her who weren't as well served - the 'race to the bottom' position and the pitting of one group agsinst another whilst the really rich and powerful run all the way to their ( offshore) bank

That's interesting Tegan, yes it's definitely a different landscape these days , so different from the 50s &60swe seem to be much more of a mixed bunch these days perhaps many of us are looking for a better/different way of finding a fairer society?

Durhamjen you don't get that I don't support any isum

Nothing single minded about the way I think. In fact socialists are not single minded at all, as you would know if you'd ever really supported socialism, instead of pretending to.

Someone on another forum I go on who seems very clued up has said Labour are going to lose the whole of the Midlands. I really don't know which way this is going; nothing really makes much sense to me at the moment. The very people that need a Labour government seem to be the ones that are turning to the Conservatives [via UKIP].Social historians, in years to come, are going to have a field day when they study this period of time.

In reply to Durhamjen

I do not think as you do in a single minded way , there are many many things wrong unfair & unequal in this world sadly no one party , ruler , hierarchy Etc who can alter it greatly . The choice is voting for which ever party you believe will approach the problems with the best solutions. I do not think Jeremy Corbyn can deliver everything on his very attractive wish list, if it was that easy it would have already been done, Labour had 3 consecutive elections in power what did they achieve?

Good heavens, I never expected to see anything like this.

The video is worth watching.

I predict that if May gets back in she won't do anything to correct this.

Do you think that's okay, norose?

How did you deduce that from my comments Graces?

So you just don't bother to make anything better norose? You leave the rich man in his castle and the poor man at his gate. Perhaps you still believe that they were made to be high of lowly as the Victorian's did.

Well said, Eloethan

YesI did & I still believe that, I also believe that each party genuinely believes what they are saying & I also believe that parties have to adapt their policies to fit the background & circumstances of each election.

norose You say that it is wrong to put the blame on any one party or policy as they have all made mistakes.

The Conservative Party was set up to conserve - to conserve the traditions and practices of a powerful and privileged group of people and to protect their wealth.

The Labour Party was set up to represent working people who had very little say as to what pay they received or how many hours they worked - because they had very little in the way of property or assets to sustain them if they chose not to co-operate.

The lines between the parties have sometimes become blurred. The left has often yielded to the demands of the powerful, but at least the Labour Party has attempted to raise the standard of living of ordinary people, whereas the Conservative Party has continued to oppose almost all measures that have introduced a measure of fairness within the work place and society in general.

I thought that exactly dj

However i think in all honestly it is pre-election grand standing, and will be swiftly put to one side once Brexit and ECJ loom large.

And the point is ? That was then , this is now
