O/T - general election 2019

Hyperbole as ever, when it suits you Kerr. You can opinions of the ifs are worth listening to. But you have to do what always criticise others of not doing : examine their opinions critically. You are simply parroting their opinion as fact, as if they are the only source in economics that matters. It simply isn't true. It's so ironic that you so unthinking and obviously so what you continually mock others for doing.

Harsh. I read the stuff the IFS puts out, consider it, test its logic and generally agree with it. I work with evidence every day and thinking critically is critical to my job. In your mind, I agree with something that criticises Labour so that must mean that I haven't considered it critically. Your belief in your own superiority shows through once again…

Ok, you didn't mention ‘mouthpieces of the bourgeois hegemony', but only because that is so 20th century.

I'm only using those terms here as you use them so liberally with others. Do you not think that when you attack others for unthinking agreement with anything you happen to disagree with, you come over just a tad superior too?

"a tad superior"
an understatement if ever there was one
One of a handful that voted Labour in the constituency where he lives
What a warrior & champion of the working classes he is
Can you really take this psycho seriously

I'm certain that I do, Raging. The difference is that I tend to make an argument for my positions whereas other seemingly regurgitate whatever their party tells them too, even when it is clearly nonsense.

I'm sorry about the 'mouthpieces of the bourgeois hegemony' comment if that helps. It was the favoured line of the Dave Spart types of the 70s and 80s before the Left came up with 'neoliberal'.
