HI

So funny UJ.

Kerala only exists because it's Citizens work abroad and send money back homea

Korala's morbidity rate is twice that of the rest of India.

Never let the facts get in the way of propaganda.

As you know so much about economics and Social Justice, perhaps you could explain where the Building Fund went in Brighton?

Re: 2nd Manifesto promise broken

Ashamed to admit .... I had never heard of 'Kerala'.

Turns out it has a population far greater than Australia and,
despite Swim's unsourced claim about morbidity, appears to be quite successful.
Even if a relatively small percentage of people work abroad.

Professor Wikki (with quoted sources ) tells me that Kerala has

India's highest Human Development Index,
the highest life expectancy,
the lowest infant mortality rate,
the highest literacy rate,
comparatively good health and education systems
India's best track-record in Womens Rights
ever-improving infrastructure
and a thriving tourist industry.

None of which has much to do with the Topic, I suppose.

Perhaps not but was interesting anyway, seems like it's working reasonably well.

Hi

Well Pummy. Kerala is not a Nation State, it is a province in India, totally reliant on income from Expats working abroad.

Can you name any Communist Nation State which is working?

Re: 2nd Manifesto promise broken

Extracts of the Tory Party manifesto 2015 - how many pledges have been kept? :

- you will always have access to a free and high quality
health service when you need it most. (ref 7 day nhs)

- we will maintain the amount of money that follows each child into school

- we will create 3 million new apprenticeships;
we will not raise VAT, National Insurance contributions or Income Tax

- build 200,000 new Starter Homes 20 per cent below the market price, for first-time buyers under 40

- we will cap the amount you can be charged for your residential care – so you can have the dignity and
security you deserve in your old age

Re: 2nd Manifesto promise broken

If I could be bothered I could drag out years and years of broken manifesto promises by the main political parties, council leaders and other sundry governing bodies but I simply can't be arsed. I want to use what's left of my life on other more interesting and enjoyable things.

Oh well look on the bright side, at least this government hasn't invented a none existant threat by weapons of mass destruction which created a domino effect and contributed greatly to mess we now see in many countries...

Agreed Judd!

Does anyone else think that it is interesting that all of these "super scare" stories are being published, this week, as the Tories try to focus on Brexit.

It couldn't be anything to do with the possibility this stuff might force an election in some way? Or push us into a delay on Brexit?

Hopefully TM will ignore all of the vitriol and just get on with what we voted for.

We can fix the headline problems after Brexit

Get it done - TM!
