Brexit never? Britain can still change its mind, says Article 50 autho

Probably removed the " profit motive " eh Jake ?....

It was Premier Deng Xiaping who realised (probably looking at Hong Kong) that abolishing the profit motive had been disastrous. For all the endless socialist economic drives and endless ideological arguments after 50 years of Communism his people were impoverished and miles behind the capitalist west in their living standards. Deng encouraged the big western companies to build their factories in China to take advantage of wage levels that were a fraction of western levels...and so the Chinese economic miracle happened. The ultimate irony was that China's level of public spending as a proportion of GDP was for many years been about half of western countries.. Until recent decades if you got sick in China you died.. You only got educated if you were the offspring of party official. You didn't travel.. Tens of Millions died.

China's economic success in recent decades has been built on its legacy of low wages and costs from the distastrous Communist/socialist era..

Ironically its one party state system has been the ideal political structure for the corporate multi nationals.. They always found genuine democracy got in the way of their desire for no limits profit motive.

Loved this mornings interview with Pritti who was continually pressed about the fact that under the new immigration rules she wouldn't be here herself....

Wait, a UK news source actually called a politician out correctly? I'm calling bs

I seem to remember that Raef has travelled and worked in some pretty far-flung places.

I’m not one to cast aspersions but I heard a rumour the Guild Wheel was only built so he could visit north Preston finally without fear of him getting lost

And kicking the economically inactive into action I imagine

 

[jakehake]

While claiming tax/universal credits as a top up and taking out of our economy to put in another countries system

How much do you think people earn to get benefits and then have enough to live on and also be well off enough to be sending lots “home”? You forget all the analysis that shows “they” are net contributors to the UKs economy?

The great replacement has been slowed down abit and the natives are that brainwashed that they are fighting it hehe

Unemployment rate is 3.8% currently. The lowest since 1973 apparently......

The employment rate is the highest ever recorded

The jobs density across the UK is 0.86 (1.0 would represent a job for every unemployed person). This would suggest a mismatch between vacancies and skills I suspect. I wonder how that skills gap can be bridged by 1.1.2021.......................

Careful; Essex

You will be saying the Tories have done a good job next
Your fellow lefties won't be pleased by that at all

O dear no sense of humour some people

BUT try looking in the Mirror, you might find someone "so stupid"

The Mirror you look into,not the paper

As for the latest EU position
What do you expect? They are trying the same tactics as they did with the withdrawal part
I just hope Boris doesn't fall for it
Let’s see how vocal the Irish PM is when there are border restrictions and their trade is badly hit, And that silly Irish MEP woman who always has a lot to say
If he thinks Angela with 'stump up' and fund his Country he and she might be in for a shock IMO

Which Irish PM?

Hasn’t Irish politics gone into stalemate now?

It has indeed, however the Irish PM who I was refereeing to as only just resigned, but to be fair that is fast compared with some

Perhaps he should have a word with ‘our dear Jeremy’ who is ‘hanging on like a proverbial limpet’

I bet he will love handing over if it’s to Starmer NOT

Still it could be worse it could have been ‘Big Gob’ Thornberry

Thick bastard.

Thick bastard.

Thick or otherwise, he's actually correct..... Handing over to Starmer won't sit well with Corbyn and neither should it... Corbyn has been stiffed big time from start to finish... It's a crying shame that he wasn't an elequant lying twat eh?

It's a shame that the idiots of this world can't see the good in him......... We've placed our collective trust in far worse than Corbyn in the past and will do so again.

Hum LIB

Keep trying then, I like persistence

Obviously with the same result though, shades of Michael Foot perhaps

Aside from Brexit (which was purely a matter of who would deliver it rather than squirming out or overturning it) , when it comes to the home front then if there's a good guy/gal up for election who shares the ( in general) same principles as myself then I'll vote for them..... Wheel another flashy, snake oil salesman, sociopathic blairite type out in front of me( just because they have a better chance of winning an election) then you can bugger off and I'll stay at home..............

It was actually looking quite promising but 3 of the 4 current labour leadership candidates came out and said that their number one priority would be anti-semitism within the labour party ( which pissed on their chips with me) and the only one who didn't, I wouldn't piss on if she were on fire...... Lets hope some honest people make a showing before the next GE eh John?.......
