The politics bin

Brexit is a direct result of Tory hubris, vanity and incompetence. Executed with maximum stupidity and with no plan for the consequences. Poverty is a direct result of the war the Tories have waged on the poor and the disabled over the last 7 years. I agree globalisation is, to a degree, responsible for in work poverty in the private sector but it has no bearing on in work poverty in the public sector which is a huge problem. The government also has the power to implement myriad policies and measures to counter this but ultimately they just don't give a fuck. The ridiculous cost of housing is also a major contributor and the root cause of this can be traced to Thatcher's disastrous policy of allowing council house tenants to buy their homes and thus reducing the availability of affordable social housing.

I also find it interesting that when employers decide to exploit immigrant labour by paying them less that this is somehow the fault of the immigrant workers.

And in the midst of this failed austerity which is causing destitution among society's poorest, UK national debt has ballooned. You really have to ask where the fucking money has gone.

Noodle, let me offer a revolutionary alternative reality?

The pro Brexit vote wasn't caused by Tory hubris, it was caused by working class people in the North of England joining voting to leave. Why was that do you think? If you mean that the Tories caused Brexit for allowing us idiots to vote on it then at least they were honest. They said no if no change in the UK's relationship with the EU then a referendum would be held and that the result of the referendum would be binding on parliament. The majority voted for Brexit and Brexit has only one meaning. It was caused by EU Hubris.

The problems that you allude to were very much present during 3 terms of the last labour government during which the gap between rich and poor widened significantly despite these wonderful myriad policies to solve the problems also being available then. If thatcher had not been responsible for the greatest ever transfer of wealth from state to normal working people in the form of council house sales (and shares from Privatisation) then the price of housing would be far worse because the supply of private housing would have been lower. The reason that house prices are high is because demand outstrips supply and the answer is to build more houses. Far simpler though would have been to control mass immigration so that immigrants could be assimilated with no massive shocks to infrastructure.

Of course it isn't the fault of migrant workers that they will undercut the wages of ethnic working population, it's certainly not the fault of employers; it's absolutely the fault of the government and mainly the Blair/Brown governments who allowed it to happen. It is the very ugly face of capitalism which exports jobs to the cheapest locations and destroys wages in whatever is left by allowing mass cheap movement of labour. The only victim is normal working people.

There has been no Austerity, we still spend vast amounts of money more than we collect in taxes. The sole reason for the need for any austerity and why borrowing will continue to balloon is that the last labour government left us with additional structural debts amounting to £178bn with no means of repayment.

From what I read now the housing market is at a max and I can see that very little is selling even in the South. Prices can't buck the market and the market is limited by affordability. With inflation add mortgage rates set to rise then the market is bound to fall in real terms.

Well done to chancellor of British Nazi government Richard Hamster Hammond for tackling the UK homelessness and poverty epidemic by raising the stamp duty threshold for first time buyers to £300k. Well done sir. You are clearly in touch with the needs of society.

I'm beginning to wonder whether TRESemme has a cunning plan. Put three pillocks in charge fully expecting them to fuck it up. Its a big gamble though. If the options are cancel or hard exit she might get the outcome she does not want.

According to the Sun there was plot a push May out & Davis in. His performance in front of the select committe yesterday has probably scuppered his chance. A tory insider once described David Davis thus “Thick as mince, lazy as a toad and vain as Narcissus”. Pretty accurate assesement I'd say. It's a pretty bad indictment of the Tory Party that probably the least unpalatable of all the possible and past tory leaders in recent time is a bloke who parked his old fella in the gob of a dead porcine.

I too have been wondering if May is indeed playing an absolute blinder. Only time will tell.

Davis has spent the last two years stating that Brexit impact reports are being drawn up and yet this week, he stated that there are no Brexit impact reports.

So he's either incompetent or a liar. Probably both.

Brexshit is a prime example of just what a pile of shite swimming in a pool of pish British politics haa become. The pre referendum campaign consisted of nothing but lying cunts, lying buses and open xenophobia and racism. Customs union, Irish border, single market got zero mention and now the most incompetent government in living memory is railroading this disaster through and driving the UK off a fucking cliff. Every cunt will lose out of this. It has to fail or the UK is royally fucked.
