Political discussion

I see all my views as work in progress. I read other views hoping to be challenged sometimes to the point of changing my viewpoint.

I wish politicians would do the same rather than just tow the party line. It's dangerous when people become cock sure of themselves. Things change so it's important to be wiling to adapt.

I also think it would be better sometimes just to say when we don't know or are unsure. It's not a weakness, it's just being honest and shows we are willing to learn.

I've very recently decided to vote Labour because Corbyn seems to be honest AND decent. It will probably hurt my pocket but this country is not sharing its wealth fairly.

That might well be true. Corbyn on the other hand, fails to see that 'investment' (read borrowing) achieves a new injustice to replace the existing one. Heaping additional debt on those too young to work at the moment, or those that are still just a flutter in their future parent's eyes. Which injustice is greater, I wonder. 

This new injustice could be allayed of course, if taxes were to rise significantly. Kamrad Corbyn doesn't have the balls for this unfortunately, knowing it would make him (even more) unelectable. Instead, he chooses to just increase taxes on the richest 5%; the sum raised will no way match the increased spending. Increasing corporation tax may raise some additional revenues but equally, it could have the reverse effect. Come on Corbyn, show your balls, you need to raise taxes across the board.

It's very difficult to get the rich to pay more taxes, because they will threaten to reduce or stop their donations (bribes) to your Party and your fellow party members will get annoyed and attack you. Also, when someone steps out of line too much, the rich simply hire a hit man and remove you.

I have said how I think things should/could be run in Britain, and had a go exposing politicians (and others) for the frauds they are. That's my starting point, and reading other Thunderboat members' angles I can modify my views. It's not easy when peterboat tells why he sees Corblimey as a traitor, and then others explain how he could be better than May-the-foxhunting-begin.

I believe politicians should state their intentions and when elected if they do not get on with it darned quick then they should be severely punished - putting them in the stocks so that passers-by can shove rusty screwdrivers up their nostrils.

May and her "Brexit means Brexit" - a whole year has gone by - she's fooled the lot of you, and still claiming a big fat salary and pension!

I'm not a "dyed-in-the-wool" voter, I voted UKIP in the 2015 election and I voted (postal vote) Labour this time.
