But the policies of the Labour Party in 1983 were so extreme people ran to the Conservative Party

To quote Former Governor Clinton of Arkansas, "It's the economy stupid"

By proposing public spending plans without saying where you will find the money, and promising to penalise the well off, like Labour did in the 1960's and 70's is economic illiteracy. Dennis Heally said he would squeeze and squeeze the rich until the pips squeak, and what happened, a massive brain drain. The Beetles were taxed at 95% of their income, hence their song, the taxman.

Guess what Labour is doing now? Writing cheques that a large number of influential votes believe they will have to cash.

Remember what happened in 1983

Sounds like history repeating itself. I am never surprised by how many ignore the obvious - WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM! Just a minor detail after all.

It might be coming from the massive saving of not paying into the EU

Did people who voted to leave vote based on that slogan?
I dare say some did, but I would think more of us looked long and hard at other aspects of it.

I don't if they did or not that's why I asked, Sticks seems to be making the assumption they all did.

I would imagine loads of people will have voted either way for different reasons.
As long as they put a bit of thought into it.
I was undecided for a while.

Diane Abbott is an absolute joke

Is anyone really struggling to decide on who to vote for? I feel like if I lived in England I'd have no clue. The Tories are vile. Labour is a complete mess. The Lib Dems are sellouts and snakes. I like the greens but it would be a wasted vote. It's really depressing

It was a badly prepared for interview but I got what she was meaning.
She stated 10,000 more Police officers.
To be done over 4 years.
Her Ł80 million figure was yearly cost,over 4 years coming to just over Ł300 million total cost as it was rolled out.

Terrible planning and a mess how she struggled when never needing to but the figures are right, as planned with the funding costed from the capital gains tax changes.

Meanwhile back in the magical Kingdom of Islington where everything is decaff and dairy free... Corbyn's still promising the earth without clue where the money's coming from. We could ask Diane Abbott! On no... wait...
