If that was the price for winning WW2, then it was worth it.
Debate - at least Nicola Sturgeon recognises the need to address legitimate concerns that SNP are only arsed about Scotland (which they are, of course) and are trying to wreck the UK.
Not sure how Alex Salmond, post-debate, thinks that being a minority party means it's the most powerful. Sure, it can influence who forms a coalition government (possibly), but it still means they've got a pitifully small number of votes...
Ah, your oft quoted argument that since everyone breaks the law we might as well not have any.
Yes fantastic just so long as you dont need to be paid.
No Jason. They represent a return to the days of the last century when workers came to the factory door each day to beg for work, with completely no security.It is not acceptable for someone to take a job where the employer expects them to be available for a full working week, so they cannot work for anyone else, but then can choose to give them no work at all.
This isnt really true. Both main parties still have pretty much the same approach, which is to keep borrowing unti lthe economy grows enough so that rising tax revenue will balance the books. The shuffling about of spending and income really doesnt alter this fundamental principle. This is also why both parties like population growth, because it has always been equated with economic growth, and in particular immigrants tend to be more economically active than the average existing citizen. It is though a trap. eventually those immigrants grow old and economically inactive, and the dead wood increases. thus the classic solution becomes eternal growth, and both parties are wedded to this.
I still think there's a large divide between those wanting to curtail austerity and spend they way out of trouble (SNP and to a lesser extent, Labour), and those who think the deficit needs eliminating, and the actual debt tackled before we return ro greater spending.
