'Wings Over TalkHearts' Politics Thread

[Mr A]

Corbyn and Tom Cruise?

[2MatoFish]

The royals had wildly popular Diana run down and they're more beloved than ever.

Corbyn has a detestable pap run down and everything thinks he's a cunt.

Politics. It's a funny old game.

Most read storry on BBC site is about the cameraman getting run over. Only a bumbling buffoon could overshadow their own manifesto launch

Quite like the sound of the Labour manifesto :

Cool.

Meanwhile BBC correspondents interviewing someone about the necessity of privatising the NHS _(aka transferring our wealth to private healthcare companies).

Probably is a necessity tbh

Says he's a 'centrist'. Thinks privatising the NHS is a 'necessity' and spends his time on Guido Fawkes' disgusting website.

If privatising the NHS is a 'necessity', why are the French and Dutch health systems such high quality?

Off top of my head, doesn't the American system cost 3 times as much as the NHS?

Sold off to Branson, lockheed martin and Boeing.

Yes. They spend far and away the most and get the worst outcomes.

I don't agree with it in principle but if SJW bastions of the NHS, the SNP, have doubled privatisation since they came in to power, there must be some merit in it.

Knew it would be the fault of the SNP

Quite like the sound of the Labour manifesto :

It's very good. It's detailed, comprehensive and really not that radical. This compares with an apparent Tory manifesto of:

- Foxhunting
- Strong and stable
- Stable and strong
- Energy price cap (stolen from Labour)

But the problem has never been Labour's message. It's mostly who the messenger is. May's "think of Corbyn negotiating Brexit! Think of him failing to fight for Britain! Think of his coalition of chaos! Then think of me, strong and stable" will do the rest, sadly.

[Zizou]

The strong and stable thing gets mocked, but it is that repetitive, simple and safe sort of rhetoric that seems to appeal to voters.

Corbyn just does not have that with idiots like Diane Abbot doing the talking.

It's a great manifesto. Put the actual policies to the people blind and the majority would support them.

Not with the cheerleaders in the media they wont.
