Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

Of course they do, everyone wants easy money and the media and much of the education system has been geared up to make it seem possible. Schools don't or can't instill discipline so every generation just expects more and more from someone else.

It will get worse, bribes will be bigger and cost of benefits of all sorts will skyrocket. How can it not when the population is multiplying so fast.

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

I promised myself I wouldn't post on this thread...

But it is so insulting to the young people who voted
I felt the need to say that at least

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

"Forgetting several financial crisis worldwide ? Pretty sure Brown had no hand in most of the worlds troubles".
We are not talking about the World crisis 2008 'crash' and the build up to it. Why was our crisis the worst in the entire G7.
I remember Mr Brown repeatedly saying " I will only do this or that when it's prudent to do so", but he still bankrupted the nation BEFORE the 2008 'crash' which is why our debt was the highest in the G7.
Why are we ALWAYS bankrupt when Labour leave power? Because Labour are a bunch of control freaks who never learn the lesson, you can't Tax and Spend it just leads to debt. To cap it all they want to do it all over again by borrowing another £49bn.
The FULL EMPLOYMENT you speak about is a farce.
How many people are receiving working benefits because they don't earn enough.
Too many; but its better to have a job than it is to sit at home. That situation won't improve until the debt left by Labour has been cleared up. One alternative is to 'up skill' and get a better job, I did it several times when I was young.

I wonder how much could be saved with a government sponsored Living wage ?
All that admin........plenty I suspect......if only it was ideologically possible
Well it isn't possible; full stop.
No no no will you never learn, Keep Government out of almost everything they can only make a bigger mess and cost more money.

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

Not insulting. Just pointing out that young people are generally not as worldly wise as are old people.

Such, has it always been.

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

Which has just reinforced the point I was making
Thank you

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

It's not an insult; they just have to grow up. There's no such thing as something for nothing. If Mr Corbyn did get into power taxes would have to go up in an attempt to make his crazy plans work. The younger generation would be paying for it and the next generation too.

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

Experience increases with age. Surely, you can't deny that, Rhian?

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

Again you are making assumptions as to why the younger Voters voted Labour

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

Experience of what?

Re: Why young people were persuaded to voted for Corbyn

No it doesn't make your point, they just have to think a bit and in so doing; grow up to reality. There's no such thing as 'something for nothing' everything has a cost and when the bill comes in someone has to pay it, in this case it will be them!!
