The whole point of my argument is the rich don't pay their fair share. The whole system is rigged so we pay far more in proportion than they do. It's a crooked deck. There are better ways to do things. Let's see how the New York fella gets on.

Is that the best you can do? Poofter and racial slurs? Debate by cartoons ? Which of the man's policies do you disagree with?

I think a lot of us have come to that conclusion.

Correct. My mistake. Born in Uganda to an Indian multi faith family. Whatever that is. He may have adopted his wife's religion. Or he may been from an Indian family who retained their religion after partition. I'm not sure. But, fair. My mistake.

I hadn't realised Russia was in the discussion. Where did that come from? They've been doing f***ing great since they rid themselves of their royalty and their tsars. Pity some of their royals came over as refugees and joined our public payroll. Still they keep the Germans and the Greek contingent company eh? Russians' living standards have improved beyond measure. A far cry from millions dying from starvation whilst the tsars partied. Same as the chinks. Once they got rid of the landlords they flourished. They too moved from starving peasants to a serious world leader with a scar

Mamdani is of Indian descent. Not Muslim Ordinary NewYorkers voted for M in their thousands. There may have been a few stripy jumper voters I agree. In this country Indian immigrants are doing spectacularly well. They tend to be highly educated and / or successful business people. They have integrated much more successfully than Muslims. Mohan Singh, a sikh, has been fighting grooming gangs for decades. His organisation has helped girls of all nationalities. Tommy Robinson is a great admirer of his. So let's hope Mamdami conducts himself well, as the majority of his kin

I did give my definition of wealth. The little old lady can defer her payment of the 1% until she snuffs it. Or she can downsize and avoid paying it altogether. I know a few people worth well over a million. Some are in my family. Not one of them objects to paying a few more quid. My son and his Mrs both pay higher rates of tax. No problem they say, that's fair. Tbh, it's beneath decent rich people to complain about what is only a few quid to them. But you ask Bezos and Trump to pay tax and they will either laugh or take out a fatwa against you. There are plenty of British Trump's

The figures I've seen suggest an annual mansion tax off 1% on a house worth one million. 2% on a house worth 5 million. For wealth similar. Plus income tax rates on capital,gains. Fairer all round and hardly punitive to anybody. As far as principles go. You can agonise over the rights and wrongs as much as you like mate. My principle is the greater good for the greater number of people. Goodnight.

I tell you what. I always believe in using what I kill. Waste is a sin in my book. If you can't be bothered cleaning, gutting, butchering what you kill, you shouldn't be in the game. Nothing I have ever killed has ended up in the bin. Except the odd mallard which taste muddy...contaminated. And even them I give them to ferrets.

Oh f**k. Here we go again. Lol The bottom 50% in America own 2.5% of the total wealth of the country. The top 10% own two thirds of the wealth. The top one percent own over 30% of the wealth. People at the bottom have no health care, hence the present shut down. Inequality in the states is getting worse. As is inequality in the UK. America is a grossly unequal society. As its fawning little lapdog the UK. All our news looks toward America. Every mass shooting, every pronouncement of its chief fuckwit Trump and every fart of its phony celebrities. Why ? Because the powers that be wan

I was counting the minutes before you replied Wilf. Two minutes late ! Slacking on the job. Very surprised you disagreed with me about politics. Not like you mate.

More building of affordable housing, free transport, free chilcare, community owned shops to compete with the supermarkets and a rent freeze on greedy landlords... all to be paid by taxes on the super rich. Seems common sense to me. Good luck to him and New Yorkers. Trump has already embraced a class war. This project cannot be seen to succeed. He has already declared jihad on the city and is vindictively withholding government funding for no other reason than spite. At the same time he has donated 40 billion dollars to his grossly incompetent right wing populist mate in Argentina,

I haven't seen a covey of grey partridge for maybe 20 years. They are a great loss. Every field used to hold a covey. 357, the venison you bought may have been an old stag as Born says, or, alternatively, an old farmed hind which was sneaked into a supermarket consignment? Young venison shouldn't take any chewing! The trouble with all this living off the land lark is that it is very time consuming and laborious. By the time you have butchered or plucked your meat, you could have popped down to the supermarket 10000 times over. Not to mention the ticks, physical effort and tiredness i

My sister had it done. She thought it would be back to normal with a month. But it took much, much longer. Hang in there.

Think we are going round in circles. Lynch and the union did not employ the immigrant workers, but the union made sure they joined that they became members so that they could not undercut union members. Personally I've never understood how non union members benefit from improved wages and conditions fought for by union members. When I said all the parties deliver the same deal to the electorate,you jumped down my throat and said I was part of the problem. But you've just said the same thing.In fact I haven't voted for any mainstream party in 20 odd years. Labour were responsib
-
Final thought. Mick Lynch said they had successfully incorporated black workers into the workplace because everybody was in a union. Black and white. Which is the reason why the railworkers have so much clout and why they are on relatively good wages and pensions. Despite constant attempts by their employers to attack their terms and conditions whilst offering nothing in return.

I remember when I worked at Ford's in Dagenham. One pissing wet Monday morning, four of us were bent double against driving wind and rain. My foreman stopped his car and we gratefully piled in. However he said to one bloke." Not f****n you". As he drove off one of the blokes said " do you not like niggers?" ( As you've guessed he was black.) He replied, not particularly, "but I ain't having a non union man in the motor". Fair. I reckon. Terribly unjust and discriminatory say both The Guardian and The Daily Mail.
-
The old unions mate. Until they were infiltrated by fuckwits. It's in the history books. By doing so they negated the only power the working class had. Those people in the photo are just casualties of political correctness, wokism and propaganda about multiculturalism. Nothing to do with me or you.

Nah, "I'm radical left". Shot on sight and laid to rest as a trophy on the wall of his new White House ballroom.

Well. At least we've got a fast moving, lively debate, which is something we've been missing on THL of late. Nobody's thrown the dummy out....yet. But the night is young.

And the equally insane right whose rich constituencies were not affected by immigration. They were placed in the north to undercut the workers of the nation's powerhouse. There was only the odd tory eyebrow raised...E Powell. And he was quickly cancelled. The only real fight back was by the unions: the dockers, the bus drivers and other groups of industrial workers who refused to work with people who undercut them. And we all know how unions have been demonised and destroyed by the right. People are called " union firebrands", "reds under the beds", "the radical left".People who "he

I've always chosen to live in the sticks and my long suffering wife has always put up with it. But I was aware that isolated houses made us vulnerable to break ins. Whenever I was home on my own I had the attitude ' please pick today to break in burglars. Make my day". But society has changed so much I don't think that now. I'm not happy letting my Mrs take the dog for a walk in the dark now. It's different rules now. Different society. And I'm old..perfect prey.

The working class left, the trade unions, in particular the dockers, fought against the attempt to overcome the blatant attempt to undercut them. There were no immigrants working on the docks in Salford and I distinctly remember the London dockers kicking off big time. Now the rationale is " we need foreign workers to keep the economy running smoothly. " It's a pity conditions aren't created whereby British people could reproduce themselves in sufficient numbers. Better family support. Cheaper housing. Create the conditions where women aren't forced to go out to work and pl

My take is that there was a determind and sustained policy to import cheap labour. Don't invest in new technology it's too expensive. Import from the third world to undercut the bargaining power of native workers. The politicians are merely the puppets of the elite which run the world. The idea of multiculturalism was a way of selling it to us. The chaos which has happened is of absolutely no concern to the movers and shakers of the world economy who caused it.

Just read it was one attacker. One of the guys who was injured was described as a ' heroic railway employee.' Which brings me back to my initial point. A designated guard, armed with a gun, a club, a tazer or pepper spray may have been able to stop the assailant in his tracks. It's not the normal British way. But these are not normal times.
