    Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves 59-60, we could have a slight problem when I point out that your environmental bits are damaging my economic bits. I don't think we can form a coalition government just yet. But we're getting there.

    The first thing that springs to my mind about you two forming any sort of an alliance is, "Brewery, couldn't, organise and p-i-s-s up"

    Don't get me wrong BT, I despise what the Tories stand for - but you need look no further than to see how they are funded to see why they behave like they do.

    But Labours plans are just nonsense - how, for example, are they going to fund the £200 billion it will cost to get rid of the PFI's? Before we start on mass nationalisation etc etc. We would be bankrupt in their first term.

    Sinkov, I think I can convince you that being more environment aware would save the country £££ in the medium term. Including saving the NHS vast sums.

    Now, what shall we call our new movement? We both believe in Democracy. We both believe in setting the people and businesses free (with a few caveats). How about the Liberal Democrats?

    BT, may I point out that , in the past, I once organised a very successful p1ss up at Whitbreads Samlesbury brewery!

    I keep hearing about how Labour's plans are not financially viable, according to Hammond we are missing half a billion quid that we thought we had in the bank.

    Are we all truly, really and sincerely that bothered that our grandchildren's grandkids will be working until they are ninety to be paying off the debts we are currently racking up?

    I'd imagine - that's the least of their worries - BT.

    Half a trillion black hole just discovered in the Chancellor's accounts.
    Brexit!
    Disability Allowances regularly slashed and denied.
    Universal Credit system broken.
    Grenfell Tower aftermath.
    NHS on its knees.
    Homelessness on the rise.
    Could the Labour Party really do any worse?
    Low pound, great for exporters and encourages people to buy British.
    Inflation not that big of a problem as it is
    If people haven't made any pension provisions while they were of working age don't moan.
    Trident wasn't axed when Labour was in power for 10 years so what the hell are you talking about.
    Vauxhall on it's arse, what has that got to do with anything.
    Black hole in the accounts wan't even noticed when Labour was in charge, black hole wasn't helped by Gordon Brown flogging the mationla gold off at a rock bottom price.
    Labours position on Brexit, who knows, certainly not Comrade Corbyn.
    I know someone in the UK who gets a free brand new car every 3 years because her 22 year old son has downs syndrome, that needs sorting.
    Grenfell Tower, that would be the one in the Labour Council area that the Council signed off as safe, w..kers.
    NHS on its knees due to everyone in the Third World coming to the UK for free treatment, needs stopping. A fee of a fiver to see a doctor would discourage half the bull...t doctors appointments.
    If the UK stopped importing tens of thousands of so called asylum seekers every year maybe there wouldn't be any homeless, again, Labour made this problem a whole lot worse.

    Labour has and can do a whole lot worse. The only ones who want that lot in power are the lazy, the spongers, the thick and those with shares in candle making factories. Which one are you?

    Not quite sure why someone who lives almost 12,000 miles away gets so rabid about UK politics, especially worrying about our immigration when the New Zealand economy is built with economic growth provided by immigration?

    Because he's a Claret and wherever he lives he has no power over anything political like the rest of us but has his right to have his views aired
