They are at it again 😉

It worked fine for North Korea – what’s your problem ?

Nothing at all, the northern people are only suited to simple manual labour 😉 We will need the tanks closer to our northern borders soon too 🙂

Jeremy Corbyn is calling for the “re-industrialisation” of the north of England by boosting spending on the arts

Eh?

Work houses were for people without gainful employment – bit like consultancy now, mike.

…transport, housing and broadband.

Sheesh, sometimes STW is as bad as the Daily Mail.

Well it took a while but someone eventually suggested that Jeremy Corbyn is just like Kim Jong-un.

Although should he become Labour leader I expect the comparison to made tediously and regularly by the Daily Mail and its half-wit readers for the next 5 years.

He might want to reconsider the wording of this though:
“We need to tackle the inequalities that stifle growth and productivity by preventing women from reaching their full potential in the workplace”.

“We need to tackle the inequalities that stifle growth and productivity by preventing women from reaching their full potential in the workplace”.

He’s as perfectly placed as most of the other leadership candidates to address productivity via workspace strategies given the fact that he’s been a professional job-dodging politician almost his entire career.

To date his only job has been a brief stint as an official “National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers” – other than that he’s basically spent 40 years being paid by the state to blow hot air.

‘Arts and housing’

Cos that creates longterm jobs………

Erm, the article claims that it was Andy Burnham who said that.

Although I suspect the truth is that it’s a typo by the BBC.

Something which you might have figured out if you weren’t so keen to “blow hot air”.

Oops, my mistake. Same applies though – it’s definitely open to two quite different interpretations (if you want to be a bit malicious).

No it really isn’t. It’s very clear what Andy Burnham is saying, whether he got his words a little mixed up or, more likely imo, the BBC are guilty of a typo.

EDIT : Actually I take that back, I reckon it reads fine. Instinctively I thought it should have read :

“We need to tackle the inequalities that stifle growth and productivity and prevents women from reaching their full potential in the workplace,”

But it reads fine as it is, unless you want to be a smartarse.
