not sure what planet you live on sometimes...


stick to the porn and leave out the politics Paul
May is bad, but Corbyn would be far worse.

Okay here goes in proving it.

The UK has 10% to 20% too many people in it. Everyone earning Under $25,000 is a strain on the public purse in that they don't contribute enough to the pot to pay their way. There are some that they have to keep, the rest aren't required.

Someone has to keep the costs down. Corbyn's "investment" is in projects that will always cost money to run and never return an immediate financial benefit and often will never return a financial benefit.

The cost of running a Nanny State is high. So the UK must be prepared to pay for it. Say tax the country, as a whole, over 45% which still won't be enough for Labour but should ease the cash crisis. At the moment it's 34.4% that is not nearly enough to run a modern Nanny State. It has to be over 43% like Denmark, Belgium, France, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Austria.

Taxing the rich isn't going to raise a penny extra if the dire warnings we see coming from the Remain camp are proven right. But it's while we are in the EU that the debt mountain was built so we have to get out.

However, that's not what Corbyn wants to do. He wants to keep spending money he doesn't have, will never get and send the UK back into a debt crisis that will make Brown's little debt crisis look like a small hiccup.
