Thread: This Tory campaign

    Re: This Tory campaign

    [QUOTE=ninianclark;4739062]You'd want a young Ken Clark to be leader of the conservatives and in charge of Brexit talks - that

    Well done. Er yes I would because he wouldn't be pandering to the lowest denominator unlike May. I suspect his approach would bring about a more cordial approach in negotiations but thats lost on you.

    Going to the original point of this thread - the tory policy this week appears to be to bleat on about those Johnny Foreigner types who are not playing by the rules in the lead up to the Brexit negotiations, don't they know our strong, stable leader has promised everyone a red, white and blue Brexit?

    So far on this Tory campaign we have had slogans, we have had May refusing to speak to any potential neutral or opposition voter and May attacking our EU neighbors before she (likely result) goes to negotiate with them.

    Sorry, I forgot that they also re-issued an Ed Milliband proposed policy. A policy which was heavily criticised when he suggested it but now seems quite alright really.

    There will be a day of reckoning for May. It will not happen for a few years but when it does happen she will be shown up for the weak politician that she really is
    Not that I disagree with your opinion but why is it jingoistic nonsense. May is just playing to her crowd - a crowd she knows are going to be heavily influenced by brexit one way or another

    May will be tested over the next few years , think a strong approach is needed , folk talk about May's behaviour to them , I think theirs has been equally poor and bullish.
    Whilst some are looking at the FN in France the rise of AFD and die linke in Germany, with the perceived split of the CDU and CSU may cause untold issues for the EU in the forthcoming German elections

It allowed conglomerates to avoid tax through intermediate holding companies solely.""
    Tech companies can be based anywhere. Adopting such a strategy has ensured capital flows into the eu whether corporate profits are taxed or not.

    Its playing on overt patriotism.We are now being told that anyone who goes against the Government line on Brexit is unpatriotic.Rees Mogg constantly plays to this tune. We live in a democracy but Chairman May doesn't do opposition.

    There are 2 questions that have to be answered :-
    Who do you want negotiating Brexit
    Who do you want as a PM
    The answer to that is the conversation needs to be shifted. It needs to be about the NHS. It needs to be about our underfunded public services. It needs to be about the wealth divide that keeps growing.

    I heard a Lib Dem on the telly yesterday saying raising income tax on high earners doesn't work because they will find ways to avoid it. He then continued to talk about the Lib Dem policy to raise tax by 1p for everyone, surely if the higher earners will find ways to avoid it that just becomes a rise in tax for lower rate payers (and honest people)? I think he didn't spot this irony.

    Europe is turning into a red light district, countries flaunting their bits at the dimly lit window trying to lure depraved companies in with low headline rates for a cheap ****ing of its citizens.

    Surely we have more to offer businesses than just a low rate of tax?

    They do still pay tax, just not income tax.
