You're right. I was being far too kind.Labour was nationalist long before new Labour shite. Do you remember why the second international fell apart?

true, and they've changed recentlyTBF, who would?![]()
And Rachel reeves, and.....After just listening to Rachel Reeves' interview just now I can almost believe the Labour party could win an election if they could just get rid of their hopeless leader
It's because Labour would be bad for the economy.Is his Keirness under any obligation whatsoever to go along with what the delegates vote for? I don't expect him to support all that without a fight.
Edit: It's great that Labour's polling 45% right now, but how in fuck do the Tories still have 33% support? 1 in 3 people are sitting in the flames and thinking "This is fine".
Coz Labour decided the best thing to do when all the leaves started coming off the magic money tree, was to buy a fucking train setIs his Keirness under any obligation whatsoever to go along with what the delegates vote for? I don't expect him to support all that without a fight.

Well, they already own the land and the track.Coz Labour decided the best thing to do when all the leaves started coming off the magic money tree, was to buy a fucking train set
Cos it shows a lack of fiscal awareness for a start, and a weird set of priorites...water would be my proirityWell, they already own the land and the track.
And most other countries have an integrated railway system. Why not us?

I'm a delivery driver, I spend my days delivering unnecessary plastic crap all round the Midlands. Even now it never ceases to amaze me how much inconspicuous wealth there is in this country, beautiful period houses with sprawling gardens in quaint villages, new build estates on the edge of towns full of young, healthy looking middle class families. It's weird for me, coming from cotteridge in Birmingham (albeit i live outside Brum now.)Edit: It's great that Labour's polling 45% right now, but how in fuck do the Tories still have 33% support? 1 in 3 people are sitting in the flames and thinking "This is fine".
Have you been watching the news today? Or The other threads?don't think I agree about the lack of fiscal awareness.
bearing in mind that a good few franchises are already run by DfT and the others are just being paid a management fee to run theirs without taking on any revenue risk, what's your major concern?
priorities is an interesting question.
everyone pays for water, and not everyone regularly takes trains. but those who do commute regularly by train pay a huge amount more annually than their water bill.
the failings of water companies - too much lost to leaks, too much untreated sewage released - don't affect people directly in the way that cancelled and delayed trains do. it's a bit more removed from you & in the background.
so if you want to prioritise by what people see most impact on their day to day life, trains are more visible for a big chunk of the country.

Which they are not doing....the markets are close to meltdown, and even b4 the PM was saying recession.....Paying for this winter's gas has already tipped UK over 100%GDP to debt, and they are saying purely by reversng the tax cut there is enough money to spend on train sets (I hear what the Unions are saying, though sorting it - that middle man they don't like...his employment is contributing to a fair few people's pensions) plus more money for nurses...again sympathetic.....but its about as economically illiterate as certain other political positions put forwardIt’s not enough for the government to do badly, the opposition needs to sell them a future worth going for.
So Keirs not the man for that. Especially not with the media sewn up firmly in the conservatives favour (mostly thanks to the oligarch owners) and the culture war in full swing.
It's a hell lot easier to piecemeal renationalise the railways than anything else, plus it's massively popular.Labour want to renationalise the railways to avoid a head on collision with the RMT if they get into power. That's why it's trains and not water or whatever
Fucking great.Labour want to renationalise the railways to avoid a head on collision with the RMT if they get into power. That's why it's trains and not water or whatever
Best it's all privatized then![]()
Maybe part 3 needed more editing.Al Jazeera seem to have fucked up and are playing part two again. They tweeted that part three will be on YouTube tomorrow and on channel tomorrow evening
There is rumour that Labour got an injunction but they can bypass it by putting it on YouTube.Maybe part 3 needed more editing.
