The EU might not have us over a barrel, but what about the rest if the world? Seriously though, why would anyone risk antagonising the larger market (EU) for a much smaller market share (us) by giving us a more favourable deal? What do they gain from that? So if we don't get a more favourable deal, ...

Lord Kangana

I think Worthy's point is a fair one. Jacob Rees Mogg, to take an example of a typical right wing Tory. Would anyone like to take a wild stab at his motives for Brexit? An end to austerity? More funding for the NHS perhaps? Maybe it was so we could get to grips with Corporation Tax, and large multi-...

Lord Kangana

I've always felt that way. But then I always thought that a simplistic leave/remain vote was perhaps the singularly most stupid question to pose. Lets be clear, the question was so ambiguously vague as to unite sellers of socialist worker and the fascist of UKIP and the BNP. It's hardly going to be ...

Lord Kangana

So they say. And as I reiterate, they probably would have had to anyway. Either that, or risk upsetting the EU, by delaying scheduled talks. Which I'm sure our press would have reported in a fair and balanced manner. They knew all this in advance. I suspect they're thanking their lucky stars right n...

Lord Kangana

Sorry, just so you understand, the Queen's speech date (as planned) and the opening of EU discussions were due to take place on the same day.)

Lord Kangana

The clash was known about before the election. they reported it on the BBC about 2 weeks ago. Had they won a thumping majority, as they thought they would, imagine the scenario.

Lord Kangana

And this Queen's speech thing. They would have been fully aware of the clash between the dates when they called the election. Now, just allow your mind to ruminate on that one. A newly emboldened, hard-line, hard Brexit Tory administration (that they themselves imagined they were getting, the clowns...

Re: This f*cking idiotic argument about being able to take 4 weeks sick in the Public Sector. The one I'm aware of has a back to work interview for every single incidence of sickness. I've worked in plenty of private sector environments (indeed, the overwhelming majority of my life) that haven't had...

Lord Kangana

Defined benefit is not final salary. It just isn't. It's exactly what it says it is. A defined benefit. Final salary is also just that. Your final salary. Career averaging, which is what most - though by no means all- of our public services are now paid under(I can go into tedious detail if you real...

Lord Kangana

Depends how Brexit goes. The Scotish Tories (13 at present) will not vote with the Government on a hard brexit. Neither will Ken Clarke. DUP contrived majortiy just wiped right there. Chaos resumes, and country loses patience. I know everyones pissed off that they're still in power, but it's a very ...

Lord Kangana

Oh, and if you want discussion about final salary scheme, I'm happy. Why have you suddenly brought up defined benefit though? Do you not understand the difference or something?

Lord Kangana

Haha. Seriously though, did you not know what they legislated in the 80's? It doesn't require a source, it's there on the statute book.

Lord Kangana

The tories increased public sector executive pay. I'm sure you understand the reasons why.

Lord Kangana

More worrying for people like me was the clear statement that the public sector should get significant wage increases, payable by the private sector, of course. Public sector employees don't pay income tax? Blimey. Missed that Who said they don't pay tax? The equation is simple - let's just say for...

Lord Kangana

And I'll also bet that a larger percentage of people on in-work benefits work in the private sector. Why the f*ck do I have to subsidise greedy companies who won't pay their workers a decent wage that they can afford?

Lord Kangana

Two wrongs don't make a right. I think someone said that. If they didn't, it's the sort of thing they should have said. So, and catchphrase alert here, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If the Tories would so readily jump in to bed with a nefarious a crowd as the DUP - well, intere...

Lord Kangana

I don't disagree with any of that. But if the Tories continue on their current path of Dickensian reimagining, well it's not good for politics in general. There's always a general direction of travel, and it's best if the two parties keep each other in check, just enough .(we'll come to PR and compu...

Lord Kangana

There's some upside to all this. Despite Labour handing it to them on a plate in 2010 and 2015, and having an 'unelectable leader' in 2017, they still can't get a stable f*cking majority. They need the DUP. FFS. They're in our government. People clearly don't want enough of what they're offering. Ho...

Lord Kangana

Meanwhile, back on planet earth, we have an actual PM who would love to do away with all our rights to privacy, to any human rights (of course these are terrible for some reason).

They just don't call themselves communists. So they're ok, right?

Lord Kangana

And just to check here, but didn't Labour take 27 seats off the Tories? That's hardly stealing seats off UKIP is it? And I don't buy that angle anyway. The youth vote is intrinsically linked to anti-Brexit sentiment. I think large amounts of it went to Labour because they didn't talk about the EU ne...
