[quote=ninfan ]Great news - got away with it The Crown Prosecution Service said it had examined files from 14 police forces and while there was evidence of inaccurate spending returns it did not "meet the test" for further action.

so the great news is they are incompetent rather than corrupt

and it's really all driven by childish leftie 'class war' tactics
Like it always was

All the evidence suggests hunting with dogs is just inhumanly cruel. and dog pack "hunters" fail to grasp that most normal people find it abhorrent. The fact that it upsets you and people like you, is also cause for celebration.

I read the Canary from time to time just I read Breitbart from time to time, why not ? As an aside the UNCHR has an extremely chequered track record. The fact its critical of our approach to anti-terrorism is a badge of honour imho, shows we must be doing something right. We are discriminating on the basis of religion, yup as that's one of the leading indicators of the threat we face today

One of the leading indicators of the threat we face today is right wingers who blame migration for their ills… not that their attacks and attempted attacks on people and society grab the headlines in quite the same way.

is UKIP a religion now?

I know you wear the Clarksonesque "non-PC" blazer like some kind of intolerant badge of honour, but the anti-Muslim UKIP-style trolling is not hidden by the crocodile tears.

Who suggested tolerance? If anything, allowing them the label of religious allegiance is a tolerance that they are in some way alligned to that religion - I don't tolerate that.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with political correctness.

It's about labelling a huge group of innocent people as potential terrorists. That means that those innocent people end up victims of suspicion and harassment when they've done nothing wrong.

Do you get it yet?

Go on reverse what he says but about Israel/Jews and see what happens

Strange that, after all the talk about 'progressive alliance' and 'tactical voting' we've not heard anyone talking about UKIP's announcement not to stand against pro-leave candidates in marginal seats

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/11/ukip-will-not-stand-against-pro-brexit-tories-in-key-marginal-seats

Now that announcement must have seen champagne corks popping in CCHQ 🙂

That may be because ukip have sunk back to irrelevance quicker than they worked their way in to mainstream. No one cares.

The Tory on Any Questions on R4 last night implied that the pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons was party policy. I know there's a competition for politicians to talk tough but this nutter seemed to be trying to out trump Trump.

Dimbleby was in generous mood I thought- He asked DA how much it would cost to train a policeman but didn't make her answer and also let the Tory off the hook on the nuclear question.

AQ crowd was massively pro Labour.

Vince Cable a drip, the Green guy fantastic as usual.

Nice to see the Tories being so generous as to propose keeping all those EU protected employment rights. The fact they had to add that to the list speaks volumes as there were obvioulsy quite a few who thought they could ditch some.

we got the how to speak to kids one yet? Obviously had the briefing about communicating with da yoofs

The Conservative, who is contesting the seat of Wells, asked the children for their views as they discussed the topic of Scottish independence. When one girl said she'd vote to leave the UK, Mr Heappey, 36, replied: "Why don't you #*&@ off back to Scotland?"

The teenager left the meeting and complained to her father, who supports the Scottish National Party.


http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/general-election-2017-james-heappey-tory-mp-referendum-scottish-national-party-a7735311.html
But it's OK
Mr Heappey has since sent her a written apology and insists he was joking. He told the Sunday Mirror: "I made a comment – intended only as a joke – but it was inappropriate and I am deeply sorry for any offence caused.

“I wrote to [the pupil] soon after the school brought her concerns to my attention and apologised unreservedly.”

The former army major was elected as an MP in 2015 after working as a researcher for Conservative Liam Fox.


Learn it all from the best....

But they'll keep on voting for him.

As people do tories everywhere, its testement to how inept the others are that candidates who clearly nobbers get in time and time again.

I the local elections only the tory could be bothered sending me a leaflet and the GE election the others are total loss, no presence I dont know what they stand for and niether do they.

^^ it should as its a sensible policy. In France the government check the income of not only the parents but the children when it comes to social care provision. In days gone by it was normal for children to care for their elderly parents, repaying the social debt they have for being raised. In many cultures, eg Indian, this is still the norm and many people i know care for their elderly parents.

It would be interesting to see the reaction if that had been a labour policy, though in other news an appetite to increase VAT, taxes and NI.
Another go at her previous abject failure

Commitment to "bear down on immigration from outside the EU" across all visa routes

Rejecting the free market when it comes to jobs and taxing foreign workers harder with no mention of how to replace the demand with UK workers?
Serious investment in training and support for key workers in things like aged care funnily enough would be a good way to reduce the NEED for foreign workers in those roles.

Do you think £100k is a sensible limit for taking the house value into account?

The average house price in the UK is about £220k.

Even in the North East it's £130k.

So basically ordinary working class people are going to have large inheritance tax.

It should also like inheritance be easy to avoid by some smart asset transfers earlier in life to their kids if needed.

Thats a huge death tax, party of low tax eh?

amazing that the tories are going for that, must be the corbyn effect 😉

Paying more to hire migrant workers, will not be popular with business, ambrosia for the kippers and other xenophobes though, seems pointless with record low unemployment

It doesn't actually address the problem that social/elderly care is crap.
What if you don't even own a house and live with dementia for 10 years before dying. How does it help with that?

And as said, many people will get around it exactly as they do today. The approach is the same, albeit with a higher limit.

Well, no need to speculate as we already heard the Tory response to Labour's proposal to increase inheritance tax. Usual hypocrisy.

Yeah, but as you keep telling us - everything in France is socialist and crap. You can't just cherry-pick items from an overall system - things work together, not in isolation.

many people i know care for their elderly parents

Between tennis coaching and hair appointments, I imagine.

TBF on maybot*, it's an attempt to fix some of the problems of our ageing population while they are distracted by brexshit.
Winter fuel and social care absolutely should be means tested and the housing situation is PARTLY due to them oldies holding all the stock.
According to the polls the OAP brexzombies will vote May all the way even if she is shafting them

* Which is why I don't think it is Maybot- I see the hand of Hammond, but it seems he's on the way out and these plans will be watered down by her ascendent swivel eyed right wingers anyways....

The immigration commitment is as near to a barefaced lie as we'll get while not being able to predict the future 100%. She couldn't even get NON-EU immigration below 100k but now she's telling us she can get total net down to 5 figures? This is truly bizarre. But y'know, the electorate will suck it up, not care when it fails and blame someone else for that failure. Unless of course, she's planning on making a lot of people leave.

The commitment to reduce immigration would be more worrying if it wasn't the same commitment they made in 2010 and 2015, before increasing immigration to record levels. Instead, it seems likely that it's just dog whistle politics with no intention of actually carrying it through. Though you never know, they could actually be that stupid this time.

Good luck with that trade deal to India once you slap them in the face over the one thing they actually want from us, though. WNTMTTNU

A solid record of delivery on that one too.

Restricting winter fuel payments, dropping the 2.5% element of the lock and starting to collect some money for at-home care are all steps in the right direction from the only party in a strong enough position to take them.

The thing with the immigration thing is that it's also utter bollocks. Theres the perception in the diseased mind of Paul Dacre, and then there's the reality

So while the Daily Mail screams that we're being 'swamped' with immigrants (who are probably all rapists), at the same time business says that they can't recruit qualified staff, and need immigration to fill the skills gap.

So obviously, as the party of government, who do you listen too? 🙄
