forkboy84 posted:Momentum aren't compiling a list of every marginal in the country, they are showing where they are campaigning. It's not disinformation, you've just intentionally misunderstood it to score some fuckwitted point about people you disagree with. There is nothing on 'my nearest marginal' that says it's anything other than a way of finding your nearest labour marginal.

It's a good job that Labour is the only party that is struggling to gain votes on the Tories, and that the other parties are doing much better and stealing both votes and seats away to show Labour's failure oh wait

She seemed unable to articulate any point other than "We want to support people with mental health problems and give them the help they need", which, looking at how the NHS getting the support it needs, the armed forces getting the support it needs and community care getting the support it needs worked out, should be alarming.

You realise that many countries, including Britain at one point, had all of the stuff listed in the manifesto right? The Labour manifesto would not be remotely exceptional in Scandinavia for example, a collection of countries well known to be impoverished and failing due to their inability to pay for basic social provisions. E: beaten like Theresa May's sub clients

If you have any thoughts on the difference Labour's freshly poached Communist election campaign head might make I'd love to hear them.

Odd that Labour gaining new members is something so upsetting to you, someone who has repeatedly stated they have no interest in membership of the Labour Party & has even openly considered not voting Labour next month. Would also love to see examples of his defence of Stalinism. Which is an inexcusable sin, because Stalinism was a horrific humanitarian disaster, and also doing lasting damage to the very many different isms on the left that are firmly not Stalinist or even Leninist.

All of the major points in the manifesto (rail, getting rid of tuition, building 100k consul flats etc) that are impossible to pay, takes a communists level of cognitive dissonance to campaign on. Funny that when the manifesto is quite tame compared to the one successfully implemented by Labour in 1945-51, & numerous other parties across the continent of Europe in the latter half of the 20th century. Also interesting how nationalised railway is cognitive dissonance while the evidence shows that British Rail's Intercity service one of the most profitable companies in the UK, while being more affordable for travellers than the railways are today & receiving significantly small subsidising from the state. Nor does it touch upon the fact that a state-owned British Rail provided jobs in this country, where trains & carriages were built, unlike today, and in fact much innovation happened at British Rail Research Division, with many trains on the railways today still based on technology created in Derby, like the Pendolino trains used across the globe. So in other words, get hosed, you're spouting pish.

You don't look at a dude falling down the stairs and think that looks fun and throw yourself down too. And Corbyn' s guy was legit a part of the British communist party for most of his life. That's why I am calling him a commie. How do you propose paying for all of this? The UK already has a major problem with the rich offshoring and hiding money. It is only gonna get worse of you decide to tax them at over 90 percent.

I was in Essex for the weekend and there was a gently caress-off-massive coach covered in UKIP branding full of terrifying waving thumbs. I could only stare gormlessly as it drove past me on a quiet road and they all just... Looked at me and waved. I really thought they were just loving off.

Or just using legal methods to off shore their money? Come up with a practical solution that does not involve Gulags, as I know you all are quite fond of them.
