I Will Deal With It

According to the link I posted, he certainly suggested that he was thinking along those lines nightowl.

What JC did not say in his Marr show interview is that you can pack a consistency party association with people from one side of a political party and get them to campaign to deselect the constituency MP and look virtuous and say that is the choice of the people at constituency level.

Other people call it entryism. It is not just political parties that suffer (encourage?) this. Other group are also prone to it. Look at what has happened to the RSPCA as a result of animal rights and anti-hunting activists joining in large numbers.

The only consolation, as the RSPCA debacle has illustrated is that 'entryism' in any form is eventually destructive of the organisation it seeks to enter and take over.

Then instead of saying 'I Will Deal with it' why not say ' I hope we can find ways to help with these debts '.

Hence jy question , what would you expect if someone said to you 'I Will Deal With It'

Spot on MOinca, and this is what has been taking place since a far left leader was elected

May voted against bringing in student fees in the first place. What about her support for increasing them to £9000?

What about it? This is a thread about Corbyn.

This isn't about May , there are Tory threads, this is about what was taken as a promise by Corbyn when he said 'I Will Deal With It ' I accept bringing May into it is the usual way to divert a thread away from any criticism of the blessed Jeremy

Exactly Annibach

It's about student fees.
If the Tories want to win the next election, according to some on here, all they have to do is promise to abolish student fees and fickle students will flock to the Tories, as if that's all they care about. I think you'll find it isn't.

Hmm...seemed a lot of them voted LibDem when they promised not to introduce fees (and couldn't keep that promise, of course).

It was a cynical youth vote grabbing gambit ab and so obvious.

No it is not about student fees , it is a question , what do you expect if someone says 'I Will Deal With It'

So no major party has kept its promises on student fees.
Corbyn has never been in government before, but I'd be surprised if voting against student fees wasn't one of the times he rebelled, and rightly so.

It certainly was Roses, it worked for the Libs

Not about bringing in student fees though is it ?

Surely there are plenty of approaches to dealing with fees other than writing them off which would come under the umbrella of 'I Will Deal With It', for example, increasing the threshold at which loans are paid back, putting a cap on (or even cancelling) interest, reducing the period after which the loan is written off...

Not about student fees?
Okay, if someone says I will deal with it, I expect them to deal with it whatever it is, when they are in a position to.

My son quite regularly deals with things for me when he says he will. He's kind like that.
Since I had my aortic dissection I can't do heavy work, like decorating which requires lifting furniture out of the way. I can't even move the settee to vac underneath it. Both he and his wife very kindly tell me to leave it, they will deal with it.

I think your DS and DIL may well be more reliable than Corbyn ever would prove to be djen if ever he got into power ( God forbid !)

And do they Deal With It .jen ? I hope so

Why don't you read what he actually said, durhamjen?

It's not about tuition fees and Corbyn, Ana.
Annie said so.

but much interest in the Corbyn promise 'I Will Deal With It ' and now his denial

True Devongirl, but when the papers headlines read .Corbyn to repay student loans he didn't say - no, I didn't say that , suppose he was too busy with the election

I must be missing something because firstly, in the pre-election context of existing student debt, I interpret " i will deal with that" as meaning "I will look at what can be done about this", and more importantly, in that same pre- election context, I automatically assume it to mean "if / when I am elected." He wasn't, so end of, no?
Blimey, if we want to go into what the Tories promised at the last two elections that they couldn't or wouldn't deliver following re-election,we would be here all day!
But perhaps I am ignorant of some other piece of information?

But the media were saying he was going to wipe out the debts, he remained silent, your interoretstiin of it now is what he said today , just as well he didn't win because there would have been very disappointed voters, the ones who said on twitter he was to pay of the debts ,and praised him , he was a legend
