Just do 100% inheritance tax but only over a limit of Ł5 million or something. That should be more than enough to include a house and enough money to take care of your children for the rest of their lives if they can't work themselves, while going over the large dynastic fortunes that are the real problem. Of course it means also closing the loopholes that let the ultra-rich avoid inheritance tax in the first place.

The Lib Dems are promising even more austerity, which will crush our economy and people far more than any soft Brexit deal (which we may still avoid under Labour). The idea that you can vote Lib Dem to avoid Conservative brutality is a ship that has now sailed right over the horizon.

I think tactical voting doesn't really work as you end up with a lot of people not voting for who they want due to tactics, so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I think with the uptick in young voters that voting Labour stands a good chance - and if they don't get in it sets a precedent for future elections. Don't vote tactically, don't protest vote, don't spoil your ballot, don't not turn up - vote for what you want.

According to the Electroal calculus if the recent poll were to reflect the final result we'd have a 436 MP Tory majority. I don't see that, somehow, but a lot of people sure are panicking.

You know that the Church is all controlling, and broken, and corrupt, and so does everyone else, but not everyone knows that everyone else does, and not everyone knows in the same way. But deprived of any way of attacking the structure of the Church, you instead choose to make a statement by burning the pieces of dry bread that they believe are the body of their God. Thus proving what? That they're only tokens? There's been multiple posts over the past few pages proving that. But host desecration doesn't change anything. A mass walkout of the system changes things, nailing your demands to the temple doors changes things, everybody going out armed and engaging in bishop kicking changes things. e: Not sure what the late capitalist version of bishop kicking is. Would go with banker spanking but I think they pay for that. Guavanaut fucked around with this message at 13:00 on Nov 24, 2019 |

This hominid creature was my MP from 2010 to 2017. Labour got him out last time around but only by a margin of 3% of the vote share, or roughly 1,500 votes, and he's now campaigning on the message that he supported Brexit even before the referendum. I can't recall brexit specifically, but I can believe it, as I do remember his campaigning on the issues of immigration throughout his tenure. Also because UKIP had a huge influence here in the 00s, they even had a bricks and mortar permanent clubhouse here at one point, so he'd have needed to do something to prevent votes bleeding from him. Before him was Labour MP Gillian Merron. On a personal level, my parents wrote to her when I was denied a place at the secondary school my sister attended, despite their advertised assurances that they accept siblings of current students. They rejected me due to my bad attendance record, but this was a result of my coeliacs disease which had been undiagnosed for a great part of my primary school education. That's what the letter was about. After getting a quick response from her office, they did something behind the scenes that saw me get into that school. I compare this with so many people I know who wrote to Karl McCartney, who simply deferred to other organisations when asked for any assistance, in one case he deferred a friend who was having trouble with immigration to the same immigration department who was wronging him. I daren't look into Merron or McCartney's voting records for Westminster, but on a local level I see that McCartney was an utter poo poo. We need to keep Karen Lee.

Hello! I’m arguing with what I assume is one of the staff of Florence McDonald, the Lib Dem candidate for Truro and Falmouth. Has anyone seen a Lib Dem bullshit chart for that area? I’m sure I did but I can’t find it now. He’s stating that Florence has not been part of any misleading bar chart business. I think he’s trying to state it to read “she would never do that” when what he’s actually saying is “she just wasn’t involved in their production” and I’d quite like to correct that with some actual facts.

I also just made a donation to the local labour candidate. We have a local hospital nearby that's going to lose its A&E department under the tories, although they'll tell you repeatedly that they're spending 'record amounts' on it of course.

Andrew George is still the guy in St. Ives though (if you want Derek loving Thomas to stop making GBS threads the place up anyway), Labour really haven’t got much of a shot there and Andrew George has posted in his Facebook comments that if there’s a coalition he’d leave the party. He also has mostly voted like a human according to the usual vote checking websites. I’m in Paul Farmer’s area anyway and he gets my vote.

Jess Phillips is terrible. I know she’s bad, but I at least thought she’d put some effort into promoting Labour for the election. I checked out here Twitter. Couple of WASPI tweets, one about childcare, 0 about the manifesto or any other related policies. Just a load of tweets about a conservative video about her, and her own re-election efforts. I don’t know why I’m shocked, but in such a crucial election it boils my blood.
