Nobody wants to have arsehole neighbours. Hartlepool should concern everyone

[donsdaft]

But we do have arsehole neighbours, nothing we can do about that except make sure they stay neighbours and not actually in our house telling us what to do.

Unfortunately at least half of us prefer being told what to do.

Couple of my mates are still hoping that Labour of old takes over again from the Tories. Naivety or stupidity because it's not happening.

[donsdaft]

English politics is right wing, even more right wing and raving.

[Aldo1983]

Labour are a middle class party. Nothing necessarily wrong with that but when they are the best hope to take on the Tories then we are doomed.

Sadly, 100% correct.

[donsdaft]

They are doomed.

We can get out of it.

[donsdaft]

They’ll just tell bigger and bigger lies, and that 30% will believe them.

Any vote for independence has got to be predicated on an anti-austerity, republican basis underpinned by a mass working class movement (and proceeding with a referendum regardless of Section 30), that the neo-liberal SNP will baulk at, otherwise what's the point?

Low corporate taxation, race to the bottom freeports and the bosses charter of the Strategic Growth Commission, staying in NATO, re-joining the bosses club of the EU etc etc indicate saltire waving just for the sake of it and the usual status quo dressed up in different clobber.

Tommy Sheridan's Solidarity approach of getting independence over the line first without a corresponding socially democratic perspective is a total sell out.

Independence has to be more than just wha's like us, damn few etc.

[Mason89]

You’ll never get those things without independence first. If those options were available already, there would be no need for independence. Sheridan is a sell out arsehole but he’s right here
