Haven't you heard, only private equity can save the NHS? It's just a matter of waiting until they've managed to break it enough to make it seem logical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Can we not organise a coup before we're ran into the ground? I think there's enough of us in off topic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordinary people are all around us, and yes they include teachers and nurses, factory workers, shop workers and a multitude of other professions, they also include the unemployed, sick and disabled. The Tories don;t give a damn about any of them. But do you count yourself, your family and your friends, amongst the ordinary people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted January 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2016 On three news bulletins on BBC radio today the newsreader has 'reported' on bosses and directors reacting badly to Corbyn saying companies shouldn't be paying shareholder dividends if they aren't paying a decent wage. Interesting angle to take, the worries of bosses and shareholders. There was me thinking BBC 'news' might at the very least take a neutral standpoint. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC does indeed have a bias, and studies have shown it is towards the government of the day, seeing as we have had right of center governments of various levels of 'frothing at the mouth righteousness' continuously sine 1979 it would logically follow that the BBC has had a right of center bias for this period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a first The current incarnation of the BBC is the most right wing in living memory; since Cameron won the election and threatened to take away the license fee unless they behaved, they've done nothing but toe the Tory line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least wonga wouldn't be able to retrospectively change the terms and conditions of the loan later on at a detriment to the borrower. But you seem to have strangely ignored the real point, which is the sidestepping of democracy by the government because that democracy may stop them doing as they please. wether you agree with the policy or not, this is a worrying trend that this particular bunch of undesirables who happen to find themselves occupying the government benches are increasingly using. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
