Re: The Politics Thread
This is a really strange situation. Here you have a supposedly Socialist Party that gets really upset when hundreds and even thousands of people (yes thousands, I’m not exaggerating) flock to hear a Socialist candidate for the leadership give speeches about Socialism and sign up to the Party! This ...

Re: The Politics Thread
Why Blairites are going hysterical August 11, 2015 In 1994 Blair took over the Labour party and made it safe for British capitalism. Which is why so many top companies and banks were content to contribute large sums to the party in order to hedge their bets – they gained whichever party won the ele...

Marc Iles:
Hearing a fourth bid has been submitted by QPR for Tim Ream. It does not match the £2million I believe Wanderers are asking for him - but Rangers seem persistent, and as you might have heard today, Fulham have also enquired about the American defender.

Re: The Politics Thread
Except you have, & do, constantly. If you don't then I suggest you develop greater clarity as that's how your constant defence of everything remotely critical comes over. The constant tenor of your remarks suggest no-one ever is at fault except 'the system', 'the authorities'. & I know you can't be...

Re: The Politics Thread
Wage hikes and corporate profits aren't mutually exclusive though. No, but it was the specific point I was addressing. There have been a few high-profile wage increases by several big companies this year, and something similar will probably continue for a while. However, there is a danger that with...

Re: The Politics Thread
You are talking in very broad terms. What do you think needs doing particularly to solve the problem? Saying work needs to pay is easy to do, but very hard to achieve in reality. The problem is many people are actually worse off through going to work or at least marginally better off. And there is ...
