Poll: Poll: UK General Election 2017 - Mk II

[Jono]

Coupled with Dianne Abbot basically saying supporting terrorists was fashionable back in the day...

I really can't understand that woman. Fair enough she might not have had all the figures in the interview from a few weeks back where she just looked retarded, but refusing to answer that question about the IRA with a yes or a no... and comparing her thoughts on the matter there to her haircut.... WHAT?

 

[Trusty]

Are you surprised the media is twisting what he's said to suit their narrative?

Apart from the Guardian have been supporting Corbyn.

 

[n111ck]

Corbyn would give the IRA Northern Ireland and Sturgeon Scotland so at least that will simplify Brexit.

 

[Tunney]

For someone supposedly incompetent, Jeremy Corbyn is running a very strong campaign.

 

[ubersonic]

I don't know which way I'll vote on election day. I find pretty much all parties disastrous, in some way or other... on various aspects.

Pretty much the same here, decided to go for Labour because I like my local MP more, and because I find well intentioned accidental incompetence more appealing than evil intentioned deliberate negligence.

For someone supposedly incompetent, Jeremy Corbyn is running a very strong campaign.

That was true until last night lol.

I don't think his campaign is strong at all, May is just trying her hardest to screw everything up!

 

[Dolph]

Yea, that was due to savings...

I am massively on the fence about the whole thing really. I mean, if people do have the money, why shouldn't they pay for their own care? But then again, you pay tax all your life then during your final years when you are in need, the state isn't there for you?

You can see why it's a very emotional and hot topic.

Oh, I can. The problem is the state has never covered social care for all in the same way it covered medical care. It never used to be a problem, because most people died before they needed significant social care assistance, or lived with their families who worked to provide it.

Further, the approach pushed in the UK is that the state is something other people pay for. We don't accept responsibility for contributing equally, preferring, as a nation, to demand that the burden falls on others. There is massive irony in people who constantly call for taxes on wealth rather than income suddenly objecting when wealth is being considered as part of service provision. The general sentiment seems to be 'i didn't mean my wealth...

 

[Tunney]

Everything is relative.

 

[chroniclard]

"The Labour Party will put an extra £8 billion into the social care system over the course of the next Parliament. We will create a National Care Service. We will put a maximum limit on lifetime personal contributions to care costs, raise the threshold below which people are entitled to state support and provide free end of life care."

 

[Trusty]

Oh that question from Paxman to May about voting remain and now having to deliver something she believes is bad for the country is gold, solid gold.

Not really though, you don't become Prime Minister being a lazy, ignorant so and so. She love's this country, she'll be putting 110% into making it work for us.

 

[Tunney]

Labour will keep all but £23k. Conservatives will make sure at least £100k is left to pass on.

But the Conservatives will extend the burden to cover both residential and in-home care.

 

[Six6siX]

lol

10/10 would read again.

Really? She loves her rich friends and the Tory party. If she loved her country she would have taken the referendum as advisory and not invoked A50.

 

[Trusty]

Pound going down as Corbyn closes the gap. Not good!

 

[ubersonic]

Well our current Prime Minister got the job because the elected one stood down and she was the big name who was the most popular among her fellow party MPs.

 

[Trusty]

Really? She loves her rich friends and the Tory party. .

I think you should stop reading fake news, conspiracies are getting the best of you.

Scared to think what it would be doing if he hadn't fluffed the debate and fully closed the gap/taken the lead.

 

[delta0]

But the Conservatives will extend the burden to cover both residential and in-home care.

Won't that result in less people needing to go into homes?

Also if you have more than £23k in capital you pay full fees for residential care anyway.

 

[Trusty]

Well our current Prime Minister got the job because the elected one stood down and she was the big name who was the most popular among her fellow party MPs.

Why do you think they chose her? I mean, should'nt have to explain that people that get into these positions don't get into them by being dumb or a lay about.

Referring to easily verifiable facts as fake news/conspiracies does more harm to your points than they do.
