O/T Jeremy corbyn

Once again you miss the point he was making. I am not going to try and explain this to you because you have already made up your mind that what he was saying is a racist comment which could not be further from the truth but I guess you know best.

Good grief.

Just to clarify. I was replying to your post (to confirm - the comment you made). Can you not understand that.

And hold on just a second Big Lad - please show me where I referenced Farages comment as racist?

[WanChaiMiller]

This is exactly the reason. He is wanting MP's to support his leadership bid and how better to do that than make sure if he gets the leadership they will benefit financially.

You think candidates show buy votes off mps?

Where do you stand on corruption in power and mps expenses scandal?

Jesus our standard are already low but will Brexit take us even further down the pan.

I personally don't approve of politicians trying to buy votes, which is why I have criticised Labour's stance on tuition fees - abolishing what is effectively a progressive tax in an attempt to buy power.

But where do you draw the line Kerr. By that definition, can any election promise be seen as an attempt to 'buy votes'?

As a party focused hugely on tax cuts historically, can the tories be seen as the worst culprits of 'buying votes'? (not implying that tax cutting is always a bad thing by any means, but interested in why one thing is classed as a tax bribe, but another thing isn't? How do you define the difference? (again, this is a thought for discussion not a big challenge, so please try not to be rude!)

Every party has bought votes throughout history. So really an irrelevant pount

But, Big Lad is talking about Johnson buying MPs votes in the leadership race through taxation. Total corruption.

'But he's not daft, he knows that to move towards what he ultimately wants'

Pot calling the kettle there then.

Explain? Can you?

You don't think that the BP are attracting the extremist voters? My mate up North is a great barometer of the far right for me. His views are pretty aligned with Yaxley-Lennon and one would have though that he would be behind UKIP. But he's not daft, he knows that to move towards what he ultimately wants (a brutal stop to immigration and a move towards deportation of some ethnic groups, the usual suspects targeted on here), he has thrown his (considerable) weight behind Farage and the BP. But that won't be where he'll stop once/if Brexit is achieved.

His views are very common and lie many, hugely inflated since 2016. Like many, he wasn't that interested in politics until the switch to focus on immigration after the crash. Now he's very motivated. He'd get on very well with a couple of posters on here

Flippin eck pup careful who choose as pals!
