    They said that when the LW was introduced. But it had a minimal effect:

    But do you really think that this is an “extremist” policy? Is it the policy of having any LW minimum identified an extreme? Or is it just £10? Or £9 extremist? £8 extremist? Where is your crossingpoint for where the LW is reasonable and then suddenly becomes extremist??


    30 hrs free childcare for 2- 4 year olds isn’t child care free anyway? I wouldn’t know so I’m not sure

    What are you saying here? That this is an extremist policy? Are the conservative government who brought this in 2 years ago then “extremist”? (although they nicked the policy from Labour!)



    Scrap tuition fees - what on school isn’t school free anyway or uni? If it’s uni how will they pay for all that money, under half of our gdp comes from uni fees

    You think that free tutition for HE is an extremist policy? Are Norway, Finland, Germany, Sweden, France – who all offer free HE – all extremist too?



    Renationalisation of water rail and mail honestly if you believe they can get the money to do that and be legally able to do that your as thick as Alan Stubbs hiring old blackstock

    Again, if nationalising key industries is extremist. Do you agree that Germany, Sweden, Nederlands, Italy, Spain, France are all extremists? All these have over 80% national ownership of Rail networks: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices...g-9960432.html
    And this for other EU countries that nationalise key industries: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices...-a7731961.html
    Are they extremists also?


    Negotiate with Eu for a new deal keeping us in customs and in Eu courts and part of Eu army and vote on that deal or remain?
    You’ve put this in here so I assume that you think that negotiating a customs union/EU is an extremist policy? I understand that but you will find that Labour are equally under fire from Remainers for being too extreme on the Leave side. So yes, I guess Labour are extremists from both Leaver and Remainer point of view. But most of these accusers are extremists themselves so what the hell
    I think your a couple french fries short of a happy meal with this post pup iv not called him a extremist at all that’s all propaganda (Lies that’s been twisted by a strand of truth) and I know that your probably quoting a previous quote and I ask you to re read it however I have called labour anti democratic lying sacks of crap who are no better than Tory’s and my opinion on that won’t change.

    You say sticking prices up will have minimal effect? Don’t you remember when wage increased last time I do food prices shot up. If you want to increase money to the people you have to do it from two sides high wage and discounted fuel for lorry’s for example. You can’t tax the rich and expect the normal people not to feel a backlash you have to balance the scales, yes there are ways to do it look at the drug companies in us they want more money yes it will increase the price of drugs but if we had free trade with USA the taxes we would save would balance it out. Without balance in economy giving £10 in minimum wage will ether see prices going up or 1 in 4 people fired to make the wage limit.

    Don’t believe me then name me a major business that didn’t make as much as the year before and kept the same amount of stores and staff? THERE ISNT ONE. It’s always the people who take a cut not the rich no matter what

    As for his stance on brexit a referendum on a customs/ close ties with EU and remain is the same fking thing that’s why I’m so against it. It’s deal or no deal there’s no way I’m supporting a ny form of remain
