How left wing is this forum?

Every time McDonnell opens his mouth, more votes desert Labour.

His £125,000 'lifetime gift' idea will alienate thousands.

One of the reasons that a lot of people bought a house, rather than renting, was to have something to pass on to their children. The fucking arsehole interferes with that at his peril. We would be heading back to the 90% income tax days with the lunatic Corbyn, which is why he will never be PM.
You're surprisingly certain about what other people think for a reactionary old dinosaur. It's not the 80s or even the 90s anymore. Those that benefitted from the insane housing policies of the last forty years are getting fewer and fewer and with the majority of young families unable to even contemplate buying public support for slightly more radical policies on housing and inheritance is not nearly as marginal as you think. I'm a house 'owner' (in another twenty years if I don't die first) and I don't want my kids having to put up with the shitty self-entitled landlords taking half their wages and decades of forced moving about that I did.
 
I think a labour govt under Corbyn would be pretty much as disappointing as every other labour govt but the prospect they might overhaul inheritance tax will be more than enough to make me get off my arse and vote for them. If they promise to crack down on trusts and prohibit them in almost all circumstances then I'd probably knock a few doors for the cunts

Excellent stuff, got everything you could ask for in a tory rant. Starts from the strong foundation of complete and utter irrelevance to the subject under discussion and just gets better.

I for one am impressed.
 
"there is no such thing as society". Milk Snatcher
Have you read the whole interview, instead of inanely parroting an inaccuracy?

What was actually said was:

All too often the ills of this country are passed off as those of society. Similarly, when action is required, society is called upon to act. But society as such does not exist except as a concept. Society is made up of people. It is people who have duties and beliefs and resolve. It is people who get things done. She prefers to think in terms of the acts of individuals and families as the real sinews of society rather than of society as an abstract concept. Her approach to society reflects her fundamental belief in personal responsibility and choice. To leave things to ‘society’ is to run away from the real decisions, practical responsibility and effective action.
 
Care to have a small wager on Corbyn ever being PM? A tenner? :)
I'll have a bigger wager on you coming up with a viable alternative to your current Tory offerings...

Don't look now, but your left wing class prejudice is showing. Which of course is just as undesirable as any prejudice.
"Oh thanks Mum, you're wrecking the country I have to live in but woo I get a bit of a house, I guess that makes it okay if you assume I'm a selfish bastard who can't see beyond his own bank balance, cheers for the support there."

Whatever. I've had enough bitter wee leftie whinging for the present.

Sadly, you are right.

Politicians of every hue these days are utterly pathetic. I can understand why they go into politics, they wouldn't command anything like the salary elsewhere.

I cannot think of a single Conservative politician at present who is PM material.

So fuck off.
