This smells of panic. He's trying to lay the last brick of the bridge too early because the rest of it is falling down around him and he thinks he won't get there.Originally posted by Cassius_Smoke View Post
Either that, or the Tories are genuinely going to say "yeah, the cost of living's going up. Bad, innit? But what if- stay with me here, what if you didn't have to pay for the NHS?"
And people are ****ING CRETINOUS USELESS MORONS and they'll vote for it. And if they do, all my neighbours "clapped for carers" during COVID so I'll be tempted to start going ape ****.Comment

We have £350 million extra a week to pay for the NHS. It should be easy to fund it without needing any tax/NI increases. Spaffer’s bus said so, and Spaffs is a known truthwomble.Comment

You’re almost certainly right, unfortunately. And the Tories would love to introduce the Swiss or Dutch type health system (everyone compelled on pain of fine to buy a private insurance package, which only pays out after you’ve spent thousands in out of pocket expenses, and barely covers anything). They’ll end the NHS once they can sell it to voters as a big permanent tax cut.Originally posted by Asura View PostComment

It's just the usual empty word turd thrown out to cause headlines. They're incapable of saying anything positive so now General Javid will take the heat for slagging off the NHS after a pandemic so tomorrow we'll all be talking about that rather than how much Darth Johnson is a dead man walkingComment

Labour slams Johnsons Housing Benefit house buying scheme saying it will worsen the housing crisis
Question - If the Government wants more home buyers why not support the return of zero deposit mortgages to those with long term rental histories? Those with a proven track record of making on time payments that are in the same ballpark as the value of the mortgage payments?
The deposit system is a massive roadblock to first time buyers, you can' maintain that roadblock whilst also supporting house price rises and those buyers are much more likely to be able to afford and maintain payments than those who are on benefits. It would surely need decent safety nets like zero deposit buyers having greater liability etc than those with so the recession risks are minimised and its self defeating if people can flip the houses and erode the already strapped rental market
Gove says all sold houses via Housing Benefits would be replaced 1:1 'instantly'. When asked how many people would be able to benefit from the scheme he said "a significant number", when pressed on a figure he said it was a "silly question".

A German city is addressing gender equality issues by allowing women to swim topless in pools
Always fascinated by stuff like this as it will be such a melting pot for people who argue for and against based on competing rights grounds. I mean, you get things like topless beaches in some countries etc so it's not uncalled for but you know there'll be a chain of complaints regarding male gaze of people saying its indecent etc which must be the biggest headache for those in charge of these things.Comment
