I think @portboy was actually quoting your blonde bombshell BoJo, who, famously, apparently replied “fuck business” when challenged about the economic harm Brexit would do https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/8075e68c-7857-11e8-8e67-1e1a0846c475
Sky news, channel 233, free view (clue in the name) so no sky package needed....I don't have sky either. Maths however is maths, you don't need sky to either agree or disagree with that and replacing reality with you're own version isn't really an option in the real world I'm afraid. Now then, my gruel is getting cold which helps me pay for the TV license and thus allows me to watch free view sky TV channel....it's gripping stuff
Oh, but to be clear,just because I have an issue with Corbyn and McDonnell it doesn't make Bojo 'my blond bombshell'.......he's still a fucking dick
Perhaps then, just for the sake of balance, you should also reference articles which discuss the economic madness that Leaving entails? If you have - my apologies. I just find it bordering on comical that Labour are routinely castigated for their barn pot economic policies by people who support Brexit. It’s like the captain of the Titanic deliberately ramming the iceberg and then having a go at the rescue ship for splashing them a little bit.
Labour's policies will; stop investment, drive companies and wealthy individuals out of the UK to avoid higher taxes, and rapidly raise unemployment while the tax take falls.....I hope people around the UK will come to see this as the outcome of Labour policies! Our debt will spiral and our credit rating (and cost to pay for our debt!) will tumble. This article is from the Guardian: HM Revenue & Customs this week published an analysis of the income tax paid in the UK by salary band, region and gender. In total we paid £174bn income tax in 2016-17, the latest year for which figures are available. But of that, £52.5bn – nearly a third of all tax raised – was paid by the 381,000 taxpayers who earn more than £150,000 a year. The tax paid by those 381,000 individuals (overwhelmingly male) was more than all the income tax paid by the first 20 million taxpayers. In London, the picture is even more stark. The city has 4.2 million income tax payers, but just 87,000 individuals earning over £200,000 a year paid nearly half the £43.8bn income tax raised in the capital. It’s uncomfortable to say it, but if we lose all those absurdly paid investment bankers to Brexit, the hit to the public purse will be painful, as they are clearly paying vast amounts to the Treasury. Those London bankers, lawyers and their ilk paid more income tax in 2016-17 than the entire sum raised from every income tax payer in Scotland and Wales combined.
Well technically I'm not, I've not made my decision yet but I can definitely tell you my vote won't be going to Corbyn and his team. Not in a million years. Labour under someone else more sensible definitely, hopefully that'll come around for the next election. But putting him and McDonnell in power now will never get rid of them. They need to go
Tbh I don’t give a flying whatever if certain people/businesses flee elsewhere. Perhaps the country could do with fewer billionaire oligarchs hoovering up all the property or sociopathic corporate raiders dictating economic and social policy. I’d be willing to give it a go as the present policy of pandering to their every whim doesn’t exactly seem to be producing a wealthy and healthy country and instead seems to have had the opposite effect where almost every single public service is falling apart before our eyes, food bank queues are a common sight and an entire generation has been denied the prospect of secure employment and property ownership.
I can understand that view but this is the election thread. And labour equally haven't committed to remain or leave yet either unless I've missed something? And leaving the eu doesn't necessarily mean businesses will be scared off from continuing to invest in the UK, but with grabs like this from labour they will be whether in or out. If we stay in the eu and labour push this policy through its still mental If we leave the eu and labour push this policy through its still mental All I'm saying is just when you think labour start to sound sensible they remind everyone's they're not.
You haven't mentioned all the criminal billionaires holed up in London, propped up by their Tory buddies.

Nope, it's at the top where you, I and everyone can see. But should you put your reading spectacles on you'll probably not see a 'don't know yet' option, and if there was I would gladly change where my name sits. That ok with you Dear?
I am working, laptop at the kitchen table, gruel bowl to my right, just going to sweep the chimney and head off to the office by horse and cart
Got to laugh at Tory media at the moment, they love to use the Comrade Corbyn attention grabbing headline. Just wish Labour would retaliate and use the obvious and proven links Boris and Cummings have with Russia in the campaign. Why people are so selfish also though is incredible. They will moan about state of roads, nhs waiting times, lack of Police, school shortages and size of classes, but cant see the connection between spending and taxation. Tax the rich? Panic sets in...Tory plan, erm, turbo charged, get it done, energised...according to Boris. Sounds well thought out. Tory magic money tree = good Labour magic money tree = bad Really?
Well technically I'm not, I've not made my decision yet but I can definitely tell you my vote won't be going to Corbyn and his team. Not in a million years. Are you a Floater ?
You have chosen Labour in the poll though ? I'm waiting for the excitement of seeing who the candidates are in my area.
