I certainly have.

He didn't know it you say,the near whole Con manifesto is filled with policies they don't know the real costs of,however I think the Cons know most of them but dare not reveal them for the chaos they know their plans will bring to those who will be affected by them.
This set of Cons being devious,deceitful liars very adept at doing so and conning voters too.

I have Joey all the time,but come on it's kinda tit for tat if May did the same as he has ,she is mauled to death,it's just swings and roundabouts.:wavey:

I won't ever be silenced, no matter how many people vote for this disgusting **** of a woman. I'll continue to call them out for their deliberate and systematic underfunding and undermining of the NHS, their ruinous education policies, their abhorrent mistreatment of the disabled, their three-time lies about immigration targets and 'balancing the budget', their perpetuation of the myth of austerity which makes the worst off pay for a crisis they never caused and conversely their tax cuts for the wealthiest, their commitment to allow an already intrusive media to not be properly regulated in return for a proverbial dick sucking by Dacre and the Murdoch press, their piss taking of their core voter base in pensioners, their bare faced lies on worker's rights they don't care about (and can't be defended affordably), their slashing of police numbers despite being warned it would weaken the prevention and responses to a terror attack, their u-turns on manifesto pledges both in office and on the campaign trail, their bloodthirst for foxes, their wilful ignorance of the siphoning off of profits to tax havens by multinational corporations, their massaging of employment figures so they can increase the number of insecure and zero-hour jobs, their utter ****ing lie in attributing the name 'living wage' to a benchmark that isn't the ****ing living wage, and so on and so ****ing forth.

I do not care how many turkeys vote for Christmas, because one day - even if it's in twenty years - I and all of the others who warned what this appalling party would do to our country will be vindicated. At what cost in the meantime? God only knows, but I'm confident when the effects of Tory austerity starts trickling down to the 'I'm alright Jack' members of the electorate, things will change. Such is the omnipresent poison of neoliberal ideology.

Anyway, this was excruciating to watch but like I said when I defended Tories such as the ****ing Chancellor when he thought the cost of HS2 was £2billion less than what it actually is, politicians are human beings and not robots, even if Theresa 'strong and stable' May seems otherwise. And of course, as Joey has already alluded to; Labour cost their manifesto and Corbyn can't recall a specific figure, the Tories cost nothing and refuse to elaborate when pressed for details. The former is berated, the latter nobody cares. Why? Because the Conservative's invisibility cloak strikes again. It makes me ****ing sick.

Jack for PM :dance:

What has labour every done for the country except destroy it?

DemolitionRed 30-05-2017 02:42 PM

I've just watched the interview and I have to wonder if Emma Barnett framed that question based on either her own or her audiences ignorance.

I don't mean the 'child care' question but the question that followed when Corbyn couldn't come up with a figure. "is this an indication that voters shouldn't trust Labour with their money?!? WTF... Who's money?

Brother Leon 30-05-2017 03:00 PM

At least he didn't do a "Vote for me and you will see and find out" like his opposition leader.

If you have to ask that question you clearly don't want to know the answer.

Well no,because you don't criticise her for her devious way of refusing to inform voters of all costs.
If Labour were concealing all their figures and costings as she has,then I would and have in the past criticised them.
I even did state in my post here I think politicians should know their costings,one error of not knowing figures,when he has already revealed loads in fairness warrants a bit of tolerance.

It's a bit rich for people to hammer him for one failure to give an accurate figure while totally excusing your Mrs May and her team for not giving any at all.
I'm really both shocked and surprised.

I really hope I'd be fairer than that.

BIB, the only time the Tories tell the truth is when it's to punish the working class, the disabled, or the working class disabled.

The NHS was working better, less homeless people on the streets, no heat or eat scenarios for the working class, no Bedroom Tax, no negative targeting of the disabled, no possibility of the Dementia Tax on the dying elderly, people generally being alot happier in their lives and other groups of people.

Do I really have to go on?

Absolutely dead right there Mock, anything she intends to do in attacking and humiliating those sick and disabled,even those terminally Ill too.
Then they'll reveal the truth as to their heartless and gutless policies.

I say gutless as they can only attack people,(and even animals actually),who are at their weakest and lowest point,unbelievably getting support to do so as well.
