funding Labour manifesto promises

Stop being so disingenuous GGMK3!!

You addressed GG13 personally.

Unless, of course, you had your GGs mixed up
Quite easy to do.

If she

I would suggest you look at yourself LG but I don't think you even know you are doing it.

As for GG13, my remark was general. I cannot help it isle she took it personally.

She only does it to annoy
Because she knows it teases

You’d be surprised at the socialists I’ve come across who have strange ideas about only some people being allowed to claim a benefit even though they may be entitled to do so.

They preach at anyone they perceive to be tories or right wing, demonstrating their caring qualities but under the skin they’re as mean and grudging of others as anyone you’d hate to meet.

Oh FFS, I've seen it all now. GGMK3 "Only because it is gained at the poverty of others". How is the purchase of my modest family home, paid for by my own taxed income and as a result of my hard work over many years, gained at the poverty of others?????? As someone who has worked since the age of 16 and never claimed benefits, I feel I've done my bit to support those less fortunate than me, including those in poverty. Your comments are typical of those who support Labour's policies of envy. They stifle ambition and hard work, they don't encourage it, and their slogan "For the many, not the few" is an absolute joke. They are definitely NOT supporters of the many ordinary working families and homeowners in this country.

And can’t be taxed either ‼️

Urmstongran I totally agree, family and health cannot be bought.

I don’t have much money but I have enough as my needs are less than my wants.

I don’t envy anyone’s wealth. If I p**s on your grass it doesn’t make mine grow any better.

My happiness comes from within. My family, my gorgeous grandchildren. I have a kind and loving husband of 45y. I try to be kind and I am fortunate that I enjoy good health and have many friends.

I’m not materialistic.

Good luck to you GG13 and others like you on here. Some GN’s are wealthy.

Life isn’t fair. Never was, never will be. I speak as someone who lost £100,000 at the time of the recession. We can’t get that money back. It’s gone. You learn to draw a line in the sand.

You learn to love what you HAVE.

GGMK3 Your last post is insulting!!!

Only because it is gained at the poverty of others GG13. Even it up a bit more like other economies of our size and what would anyone have to complain about?

GGMK3 I can assure you that “my wealth” as you put it is certainly not an issue to me, however wealth at any level does seem to be an issue for Labour Party supporters!!!

And the government GG13.

Easily done humptydumpty

humptydumpty My income is between my accountant, the taxman and myself.

My profound apologies, GGMk3, my comment was, in fact, as I originally posted it, a response to GG13. Looking through the thread, I can see that my political views are close to yours.

Also, even to GG13, it wasn't meant to be rude, more of an exclamation, rhetorical, hence the exclamation mark.

Inheritance is GG13.

I see it was actually you would wrote the "Netflix" comment humptydumpty asked me about. It appears your wealth is an issue to you all-round.

GGMK3 I do not think that death can be called “a transaction”.

Thank goodness for that.

Lemongrove, the words you used were, shall we say, not accurate. You keep challenging that fact because you need to be right. If people checked and referenced we would not get the continuous dumbing down of what purports to be the truth.

Elsewhere I also wrote something about why this would not be costed in a manifesto. I am not going to repeat myself.

"I can assure you that a “Netflix subscription” is an awful lot less than the extra tax I as an individual will pay under Corbyns Labour."

I haven't time to look back humptydumpty but I don't believe I said that. I know nothing about Netflix and I would have put an apostrophe in Corbyn's or my software would have shouted at me.

I still, old-fashioned me, think it is rude to ask someone what their income is.
