"Rob here. I'm a long long way from rich and privileged but I like Cameron. Reading through the comments I wonder how politically aware some of you are because it reads like a labour press release rather than actual events." To be fair I don't think the Labour party has ever called him a c*nt, at least not in public | |||

"Right so most peoples issue seems to be the fact that he is posh and has had a nice upbringing, why is that such and issue? " I honestly don't hold that against him. Not his choice. I object to his choices, notably his choice to represent a party that wants to extend and promote inequality, fear and hatred. | |||

You are seriously suggesting that Jeremy Corbyn, a man with a long history of standing up for the white working class man or woman in the street (and indeed the working class men and women in the street of all ethnicities), actually hates the white working class man or woman in the street? | |||

He is already effecting huge changes in the Labour party. He is very popular indeed with the members of his own party (the most popular leader ever, in fact). He is unpopular with some members of the Parliamentary Labour Party...but they are the ones who are copying the Conservatives, so you would think you'd be pleased he is unpopular with them. What has he done that makes him a twat? | |||

The Russian revolution was never a communist revolution, anymore than Lenin was a Marxist. You might want to argue that economic performance increased as the economic system that replaced feudalism developed, but that's what happens under capitalism and does not constitute an argument against either 'communism' or 'state-capitalism'. | |||

"Well, I was privately educated, had a good upbringing and voted Conservative too. Guess that has just alienated me from 99% of all people on Fab if this thread is anything to go by. I work hard, studied hard to get to where I am, yet because I would be considered posh (private school), educated (degree) and mildly successful, then I'm a cunt as some have put it in previous posts.

Some clear champions of democracy here as well. There are only 3 parties that have ever won a general election. 1 of them is now defunct and the Tories are 1 of the remaining 2. So blanket hatred of Tories basically means that those people prefer a one party system, yeah they work out well...
Sorry, but that's just bollocks. I hate what the Tories stand for, I don't prefer a one party system. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
Well they are if you look at the electoral history of this country. What exactly is your point, you do like democracy but only when it's a competition between parties you like? "Not at all. I want a fiercely fought political scene with strongly held beliefs on both/all sides. The fact that I hate the Tories doesn't mean I don't think they should exist, I just fundamentally disagree with their policies. A strong opposition is vital to maintaining democratic integrity, which is why we both support political systems with options, not one party states. I actually think we both agree on that, and I hope you can see that just because I hate, and I do mean hate,90 percent of conservative policies, I have never extended that to the position of wanting some unquestioned, state imposed obedience to a socialist government. That way lies Cuba, and China, where we wouldn't even be able to have these discussions. | |||

"This is a nice impartial thread with rational balanced discussion *pulls out deck chair* There's a reason communism always degenerated into dictatorship. Lefties can't tolerate people disagreeing with them. Since lefties know they have the moral high ground, anyone who disagrees should be converted or killed. You seem to have trouble understanding that commi=unism is one of many different left wing ideologies. Not the only one. And you also seem to have trouble understanding that throughout history there are have been far more right wing dictatorships than left wing ones. Presumably because right wingers can't tolerate people disagreeing with them. And since right wingers know they have the moral high ground, anyone who disagrees with them should be converted or killed. Left-wing, right-wing? Same fucking bird!'Communism' - or more accurately 'state-capitalism' was always a dictatorship from the outset. Just like western capitalism. State capitalism and communism are very different. Under communism 20-60m people died of starvation. Under state capitalism they enjoyed 40 years of double digit economic growth. Just not true. The Russian revolution was never a communist revolution, anymore than Lenin was a Marxist. You might want to argue that economic performance increased as the economic system that replaced feudalism developed, but that's what happens under capitalism and does not constitute an argument against either 'communism' or 'state-capitalism'." Let's try again. Communism - the state runs the economy State capitalism - the state intervenes in the economy as and when it pleases but doesn't want to run it day to day Capitalism - the state regulates but private ownership rights are legally protected from arbitrary intrusion. Those are very common definitions, easy to find in a Google search and used in just about every university that teaches economics. | |||

Personally I was Grammar School because I passed my 11+ but not rich enough for University but I did do an engineering apprenticeship. So very 'Working Class' until I saw what the Unions did to me and my industry and my country. So I helped put Maggie in power and have been a Tory c**t ever since and proud of it. What really makes me smile is when twats like Milliband used to point at the Tories and shout about 'millionaires' and 'privilege'... forgetting HE is a millionaire and came from a privileged background. As were 60% of HIS Labour Front Bench. Hypocrisy is very alive and well in Labour like I guess some on here who seek the wealth of Cameron but despise him for having it already. Now personally I don't give a flying fuck where people come from or what their wealth is. I judge them by their actions. And so far the two Tory Toffs (Cameron and Osbourne) have steered the Ship of State pretty well given we were on the rocks thanks to Labour losing the ship's compass. And, lest we forget, the UK voted for Cameron to STAY as PM after 5 years seeing what he could do and what he was like. | |||

I pointed out that those who believe that the Labour Party were tanking the economy in 2010 and George Osborne was it's saviour are financially illiterate. Once again, this is a matter of fact. As to what happened after, I made no comment. You've invented my 'commentary' to try to obscure why you are avoiding arguing the facts. However, there is enough evidence to indicate that any financial success experienced under Osborne as a chancellor has been achieved by blind luck rather than design, and plenty of evidence to indicate that these lucky blips are not going to save us from the disaster that the most incompetent chancellor in living memory is determined to steer us towards. I've wasted enough time on Fab trying to explain these things to people who will never grasp them, so I'll make it short and sweet: read Mainly Macro. You either understand it or you don't. It really makes no difference though, the ship of fools has another four years to run its course. The state of the economy in 2020 will not be pretty. | |||

It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact. The poster I quoted is wrong on a matter of fact. As that fact is to do with the financial state of the country at the time of the Labour Party's exit from power, when incoming chancellor George Osborne steered the economy from a state of recovery into a two year flatline, the poster is economically illiterate.
How that amounts to 'left wing bullying' is anyone's guess.
The global economy bounced back strongly from a severe 2 year downturn in 2010. Most advanced economies and eurozone in particular have seen growth decline significantly thereafter, with the UK outperforming on many measures. So when compared to similar countries the UK performance can be considered rather good, making the posters comment valid. Could Labour have done better? We will never know. Your comment assumes that they would which maybe you can support?
I'm not bothering to lead you through it again. Read Mainly Macro, or don't. The facts remain the facts, and the financially illiterate remain the financially illiterate.
So you can't, glad we cleared that up.
That is the equivalent of a five year old saying 'I know you are, but what am I?'
You have not covered yourself in glory.
You keep saying the current Govt has done a shit job, yes, debt has grown, part of the problem of inheriting a structural deficit. You describe anyone who suggests that against most measures it has done done reasonable job and has outperformed most advanced economies over the period as illiterate. What you don't say is how you support that _iew other than to ask us to believe you or read your preferred analysis. In life performance is most often measured as how you perform against your peers. So I am genuinely interested to hear what you think would have been a reasonable performance and what could have been done differently. Enlighten us.
On the contrary, I have said none of this.
I pointed out that those who believe that the Labour Party were tanking the economy in 2010 and George Osborne was it's saviour are financially illiterate. Once again, this is a matter of fact.
As to what happened after, I made no comment. You've invented my 'commentary' to try to obscure why you are avoiding arguing the facts.
However, there is enough evidence to indicate that any financial success experienced under Osborne as a chancellor has been achieved by blind luck rather than design, and plenty of evidence to indicate that these lucky blips are not going to save us from the disaster that the most incompetent chancellor in living memory is determined to steer us towards.
I've wasted enough time on Fab trying to explain these things to people who will never grasp them, so I'll make it short and sweet: read Mainly Macro. You either understand it or you don't.
It really makes no difference though, the ship of fools has another four years to run its course. The state of the economy in 2020 will not be pretty."Thank you. I've said before on here that history will _iew Darling and Brown as having performed incredibly well during the financial crisis. Grudgingly you seem to accept that, whether by luck or judgement there have been some successes under this govt. Whether we are heading towards disaster time will tell. So there is evidence to support the fact that both Labour did a reasonable job post 2008 and that the Tories have had some success since 2010. Seems like it is possible to have differing _iews on the success of economic policy without the insults. Progress! | |||

"I truly believe that he is out of his depth and was lucky last year that the alternative was Ed Milliband and not Ed's brother. In a couple of months, he will come back from Europe with some stale crumbs and try to persuade us that it is a fresh cake....that will define his abilities. " Cameron has proved himself to be a complete sap of a leader on the EU. His so called renegotiation is a joke! He (and the rest of the political elite establishment) deserve to have their asses kicked in the upcoming EU referendum. | |||

"Here's a question. What do you do when there's nobody left to borrow to and the credit line has gone nuts!!!. Answer that and then get back to me with your left wing right wing bollocks. When your working in ios... Your working in ios... When your working in windows 10 your working in windows 10. There's no escaping the software! Now hardware you can do anything with... Including letting people who gamble go bust... Debit money credit experience!. Now ask yourself, all those companies that made huge errors of judgement, did they go bankrupt like they should have done or did they get "bailed out"... People who bought ridiculously over prices houses thinking they could make money... Did they go bust or did they get bailed out!! My answer is they should have gone bust, because that's capitalism, but they didn't because that's capitalism with bribery!. The real answer is there going bust right now but being allowed time to bail out through manipulation of the people!. Time moves on... History rarely changes!" Err .......is the answer "The 1966 Grand National" or have I misinterpreted your question? | |||

" I'm not rich but I do have empathy. I'd imagine the rich hate the way socialists treat them with contempt, constantly imply they don't deserve their wealth and scheme about ways to forcibly get more of it from them. " The rich under a socialist government could still easily live very comfortably with money to zpare. Unlike the poor u der a right wing one. Why this government is going for the less well off, in particular with serious illness and severely disabled who need a spare room to store equipment is beyond me. Why can't they be exempt from the bedroom tax/spare room subsidy as they call it? The money the government would loose would be poultry. | |||
