I heard in person Neil Kinnock say, paraphrasing a biblical line, " A prophet is not recognised in his own land". How right he was.

Kinnock's attitude can be summed up thus: "the ordinary people cannot, and MUST NOT, ever be allowed the freedom to take the responsibility of looking after each other. They simply do not have the morality. Only politicians, like me, can be trusted to do it. The State must force the workers to pay for things, and then the politicians will say "look what we've given you".

[@verystripeyzebra]

But that warning is just complete economic illiteracy. The financial crisis saw public money being used to prop up capitalism. Before that labour were doing a competent enough job of providing reasonably funded public services. Under the tories, we are paying more and getting far less. Where does all the money go? Pre pandemic the tories had ballooned the national debt. If they worried about the no money left note then. Christ they must be shifting themselves after seeing what they themselves have done. Even less money left. But what about this warning... Tories will eventually run out of national assets to sell off to their mates at knock down prices.

For a brief period it looked like something interesting could happen when Corbyn was Labour leader and he attempted to resuscitate the traditional Labour approach. However, that was not to be for various reasons and consequently we are now stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place imo!

Party of envy...lol. Like all those famine relief charities, just envious of how much other people have. Total load of false logic bollocks.

Don't vote conservative, don't vote labour. Both have a record of failing us and don't get me started on the SNP. The country is so polarized I can't see an answer. Where is our George Bailey as we all seem to be in Pottersville.

[@jgmediting7770]

Corbyn was our George Bailey. Or rather the same part of the political spectrum and associated economics was. Unfortunately, Mr Potter convinces people to vote in his interests.

Have you checked out labours achievements when last in office? When you do, tell me which parts you dont agree with? then tell what the tories have done for you in the last 13 years

The Welsh wind bag was wrong then and he lost in 83, 87 and 1992 so I presume the county was wrong as well.

why Neil ? Why did you not support the NUM in 1984 ?
