Re: Terror of life inside Corbyn's socialist paradise

Unlike some I'm not jealous of money, so having a leader has a little more never worries me, it's only when they don't believe sharing it out I have problems with them.

Re: Terror of life inside Corbyn's socialist paradise

I have spent my whole life under the present system.

It is far from perfect.

Multi national conglomerates dictate tax policies, or at least pay where and if they want.
Banks are 'assisted' to survive, because they are 'too big to fail'.
Homelessness and hunger are growth industries....................while the wealthiest get wealthier.

I don't actually envy the millionaires their millions, I have enough myself thanks.
I do think the vast chasms that are opening up between the haves and have nots is obscene to the extreme.
The home of capitalism the USA, ignores scientific evidence for profit.
There is a growth in secure gated homes for those that need to protect their lifestyle from those that have nothing.

And that cannot be right.

The UK is not Eastern Europe or Venezuela, we have a sophisticated 21st century population (Not as sophisticated as I would hope with some of the ideas on here)
A reversal of the sell off of our national crown jewels has to be stopped.
There is now a tragic shortage of homes, the utilities are all sold off, water, trains, next will be the NHS.

There is money to invest in Private health care, private high cost home building, in fact any high end luxury goods, and also at the other end.........a growth in food banks, home repossessions, high interest loans, in work poverty.

And that cannot be right or just or even sustainable.

I will take a democratic change of focus, a more humane approach as soon as it can be arranged thanks.

Well said if I didn't have a Labrador on my lap I'd stand and give you a round of applause !

And if I didn't have a laptop on my lap I would stand up and bow.

Hi

There is a view, propagated by certain people, that the UK is an appalling country, with massive, serious poverty.

This is simply not the case.

Re: Terror of life inside Corbyn's socialist paradise

I don't think anyone claimed it was a massive problem but even one person in such a rich country is a complete failure to care. Besides if benefits are such a problem as many insist I'd suggest poverty is pretty rife. Working poverty is even bigger problem because very few will admit it is happening.

Re: Terror of life inside Corbyn's socialist paradise

I had never seen a beggar in my life until the mid 90's now they are everywhere.

Re: Terror of life inside Corbyn's socialist paradise

Food banks too Purwell and until last few years I'd never heard anyone in uk starve to death or commit suicide because they lost their benefit entitlement.

Re: Terror of life inside Corbyn's socialist paradise

There are better ways to action a humane approach than voting Corrbyn. His approach would take money from rich and poor by bankrupting the country. Buying back nationalised industries is nuts when the country has no money.

But then again maybe he didn't mean it....
