Question Time tonight

Heh :) Population decrease means fewer people being born, which means fewer young people.
So what? They didn't just entirely stop breeding. If (something like) 8 million people have to work ten years longer, that's 8 million jobs unavailable to (something like) seven million odd young people who are newly entering the labour market.

You are assuming a fixed supply of jobs. But more people working means more people earning and spending, which in turn leads to higher growth and more jobs available.

I've no idea what the rest of this conversation is about, by the way. But whatever it is, the fixed-job supply argument (usually raised by immigrant bashers) is simply wrong.

It's about quartz not understanding that an aggregate total of 8 million kids actually doesn't go down if more people live longer - despite being a smaller proportion of total population.
 
Thanks, so it is being manipulated then?
No i just think the BBC, like a lot of mainstream journalism, doesn't really see how serious the government is fucking people over. The BBC also has this weird notioin that discussion shoudl be robust and that every point of view should be heard (well almost, see above). In other words, and by way of an example, you get James Delinpole being invited on to discuss Global Warming, when all this does is give lie to the fact that the science is indisputable and the consensus that we are fucking the planet is well into the 90% ramge. IYSWIM.

Init. Here are some people with many harrowing tales of how their lives have been needlessly destroyed by tory welfare policies, and now here is Iain Duncan Smith saying no, none of that stuff happened and everything is gravy. So who really knows what the truth is? Back to the studio...

You could fucking find out where the truth is you cunts. You're supposed to be journalists aren't you?
 
Esta noche...

Conservative health secretary Jeremy Hunt MP, Labour leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn MP, Anne McElvoy of The Economist, comedian Shappi Khorsandi and Douglas Murray of The Spectator.
 
Fella in the audience used the term Daesh, two members of the panel inc. Tory boy used the term ISIL.
 
I see everyone's favourite Douglas Murray is on tonight :)

Yep and talking shite as usual.

'ISIS is nothing to do with us' except for the fact they came out of the insurgency to combat US/UK forces in Iraq, Murray you utter shit stain.
It is of course more complex than that but to ignore that glaringly obvious fact is absurd.

Who the fuck is the woman in the green dress? She's coming out with untold amounts of shite!
