I'm with Otta.


This Tory government are awful, truly awful. Even on the economy they have achieved nothing. The economy has been stangant since the coalition took power, stagnant from the position it was in when Labour left office.


But there a good chance the Tory party will have both a new leader and chancellor long before the next election (and I don't see Osborne being that new leader).


I also agree that Corbyn is a bit dithery, but John McDonnell definitely has a better understanding of the importance of investment to economic growth than Osborne, by a mile and I think would do a far better job as chancellor.


I also think that being a rabble rouser, is very different to being in office. Osborne use to snort coke and hang out with prostitutes. Ian Duncan Smith lied about pretty much everything on his CV etc etc. It would be very easy to delve into most people's pasts and find reasons to discredit their abilities to be in office.


It makes no sense to think that an MP like Corbyn, who claimed just ?7.93 in MPs expenses each year on average, would deliberately try to con the tax man. And in any case, it just doesn't compare for me to someone who launders millions through offshore havens to knowingly avoid tax. Corbyn was never going to get away with it was he? So why would he deliberately do it?

I'm reminded of when Nigel Lawson, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, had his credit card refused in a branch of Threshers during the early '90s.


He'd forgotten to pay his most recent statement.


Everyone can be late or be out by a hundred pounds or so, and I would put Corbyn in that camp.


Pushing thousands of pounds around the houses via Panama etc. is deliberate obsfucation.

Based on what he published, that's true. But considering he allegedly missed three other income streams off his tax form, is that still the case?

Thanks Loz, It seems like a mistake thats been

Blown out of proportion to divert attention from a

bunch of bastrds who believe they've got every

right to create misery, in daily life as well as

In the workplace.


As for voting them in, yeah we can hold a forum

Sweepie on how many will die at there hands in

The first year. 2-3 yrs for prizes, whilst

Waiting on the figures from them.

God this is getting desparate. There is no real dirt on either of them and if anything the issue and disclosure has increased the profile and spurred the government into action. My word the Telegraph having a go at a Labour leader> You'll have the Guardian having a go at the tories next....


I don't even know why I am bothered to read the thread or post a reply.

    • I don't know all this. Children are starting school and people are scared because the children might be attacked by asylum seekers? What do you think spray painting St George flags does to make children safer? The flag campaign has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism, or about addressing male violence (many of those behind the campaign have violent criminal records themselves). It's about xenophobia, fear, and intimidation.  The co-founder of the 'raise the colours' campaign, Andrew Currien, was a key member of the English Defence League’s leadership bodyguard team, and now runs security for the far-right party Britain First. He's previously been jailed for his part in a racist death. Meanwhile, Farage has been openly willing a 'summer of violence on the streets', using his best 'concerned face', whilst using the 'Centre for Migration Control' (actually just one man the Reform UK activist Robert Bates), to seed fake / made up statistics and 'research reports' to GB News etc. about crime and immigration. The reason that we've seen a huge increase in asylum hotels is because of the Conservatives deliberate policy of not processing applications and Farage's disastrous Brexit (which led to a massive increase in irregular immigration). We have the Right creating a crisis and then exploiting for their advantage.
    • The issue, with children starting school again, is that there is an unknown risk, and people want to know their children are safe, which they do not. You know all of this, I don’t need to attempt to outline the views for you as it’s widely available.  There is outrage at how some people are behaving. Did you not see women attacking a man being interviewed? As with all things, the actions of a few is damaging.
    • What priority are asylum seekers being given over the community?  Whilst it's terrible that a girl has been assaulted, why are the criminal actions of an individual being seen as reason to attack a whole group of people? Many of those involved in the 'raise the colours' campaign have criminal histories, including domestic violence. Perhaps there should also be community outrage at that, instead of those people apparently being lionised as 'patriots'. There is a very clear attempt by the like of Farage etc. (who contributed significantly to the current 'crisis') to stir up unrest. The flag campaign has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism. I don't think anyone believes it does. 
    • All to do with the issues in Essex, with a child allegedly assaulted by and asylum seeker residing in a local hotel, ensuing community outrage, particularly with asylum seekers given priority over the community. The whole thing is toxic.
