I think if you look around you what have you got that you take for granted…education,NHS.These things had to be fought for by people with the same mentality as corbyn.I dont think anyone voting for him is a fool.Justify voting for the alternative(the tories) and you vote to extend the grip the elite have always had over us,unless of course you are one of those people who thing that with wealth comes wisdom and the god given feckin right to rule the world.
Until recently all universities were wholly state owned and were considered the best in the world.Since the privateers have got their grubby hands on them,down goes the quality and up goes the principles salary.The reality is however that the privateers cannot run education without billions in state aid…state aid capitalism.
By the way the NHS is the western worlds biggest and most successful nationalised body…no gulags…no stalins…ahh! yes but a Corbyn!! who strangely enough wants to preserve it and make it even better.the prime objective of the tory party is to privatise the NHS 100%.Behind all the brexit diversion,the tories are privatising the NHS at a faster rate than any other government in history.Obviously as a tory Atherton will completely support this flagship policy.
hi IMHO,
Technically you are right.We joined the common market in 1973,having had two failed attempts in 63 and 67.But we didn’t actually have a referendum until 1975,when the country voted in favour of remaining.We should have voted to get out way back then,as far as I am concerned Harold Wilson made a major mistake in supporting continued membership believing that he could change the EU from within and renegotiate more favourable terms(hmm how many times have we heard that one)…interesting nearly 45 years later we have corbyn trying to do the same thing,some people never learn.
One of the most neolithic aspects of the EU was and still is the CAP(common agricultural policy) which is effectively an endless money tree for the landowning elite in the EU.I think the money the EU filches from the UK is far exceeded by the amount it gives back.The EU is a self perpetuating and self preserving monolith.
Yes it did exist in the 70’s,in fact in one form or another it had been around since the 50’s.When we voted to join back in the 70’s we voted to join a common market.Back then I just got the vote and I voted against joining.Since then the EU has become a right wing monstrosity in the pockets of the neocons and the banks,run predominantly by unelected officials.
Thanks for the replies but independent surely should mean independent,and to be part of a indy group is surely a contradiction in terms.If there is a rule that states to be effective there has to be 4 or more then this rule should be done away with.
