Ah. The abolition of money.
I like the idea to be honest, I like it so much, in fact i started to utilise the ideology of altruism some time ago( we've had capitalism, marxism, communism, and pretty other ism going and they dont work well) to do things for other folks for free.
Like this morning , Ive just changed a set of track rod ends and rear brakes on a neighbours car ( keeping the motoring theme heh?) and dont want any payment for it, even though its taken a couple of hours to do it, and no it wasnt for a woman....
It was for a man? It's OK, we're mostly moderns here. biggrin


Star Trek has no money as a side effect of the matter creators.
Just have to wait for them to be invented. biggrin

Look Axion there's a lot of things to accuse the SNP off and have a decent case, however on this occasion it justs looks plain embarrassing when it's as plain as the nose on your face that the leaked memo was a campaign tactic

Unless you think the SNP are that powerful that NS has managed to persuade the French Conusl and The British Foreign Office to back up her "version"

Pick your battles, this one ain't a winner
I was talking more broadly about independance than the issue previously mentioned specifically.........

My main issue with Sturgeon is her hair to be honest, it doesn't move at all, that ain't natural. Her party extolls the use of clean/natural/sustainable energy sources but she clearly uses so much hair spray that any environmental benefits would be moot.

For fks sake, the Scottish Indy thread is thataway --->

Would all the yes-voting nesbitts please keep their victimisation bile off of this thread? This one is about the UK-Wide GE, not the fking pretend powergames advocated by Sturgeon and her poor victimised idiot followers that make up about half a percent of anything meaningful, and the proposals that the majority of decent Scots voted against.

Are you under the illusion that I'm Nicola Sturgeon?

IF the SNP return 40/50 MP's in the GE, then they're in a win-win situation no matter who wins the GE, however the poorer in society in the WHOLE of the UK would benefit more for a Labour Government propped up by the SNP on a vote by vote basis rather than the Tories
no i am under the impressive you are a nasty little class warrior determined to get independence at any cost
You wouldn't know class if it fked you in the ass
Yet an utter lack of class is immediately apparent when encountered...

I always assumed she'd come to the press conference on her moped, and wasn't planning to stay long. If you look closely you can see the chin strap

Not sure if it's been posted here or elsewhere but Tony Blair has publicly given his full support to labour & Milliband.

How is that helpful?

Many in the Conservative party seem to admire him.

Hmm, how about all 3 of the main parties are different colours of the same festering pile of st and it's time to make a change and reboot the system that has mismanaged the country for decades?
"reboot"? Once again, describe the different way that is going to achieve what you want.

Conservative voters stopping endorsing the Tories would have some chance of achieving what they want, which I assume is a genuinely conservative government.

The Tory party is a zombie party, conservative in name only. It only continues to exist because misguided conservative voters continue to lend it their support often only out of concern that the other options are worse, not because they particularly like it.

I'm not a fan of him, and never voted for Labour when he was leader, but I agree with him about an EU referendum.

The reactionary, older generation, voting public also probably are daft enough to vote us out of it.

I'd be interested to know when he thought the right time to hold a referendum would be.

Based on all known form, the older generation voted for "IN" back in the 1970s including myself. We did not vote for the piss-taking sheister money grabbing organ ever more bleeding us that has since evolved.

In the event that Desperate Dave secures a "result" come May 7th, he and his team will find ways to further delay any In-Out referendum or vote beyond the promised 2017. Although why should he, as its a certainty to result in a stay in vote. So puzzling these delaying tactics when obviously the sensible folks of the UK will decide to stay in..... and will thus secure continuing membership kissing goodbye to ever increasing disproportionate contributions to the EU money fissures. The penalty for being a "successful" member of the organ if you believe the spin that all in the UK financial garden is luvverly.

My not being very bright, I see things this way. In the unlikely event that Dave is able to honour his promise come 2017. I shall then vote for OUT as in I'm ooot ... I say unlikely because I and all those thinking of voting UKIP are repeatedly assured by so voting, will ensure those nice Two Eds are better than one will occupy Nos. 10 and 11 come May 8th. Oh Dearie me ... rolleyes What fun that will be.

Despite that ever so nice for the benefit of the UK outcome, I shall still vote UKIP on May 7th as will several others in both my family and circle of friends. All including myself who mainly voted Labour more often than not in the past and one or two always vote Tory types. They've told me this and like myself, we are all very angry at the way things have evolved under recent Political administrations. It is the only way we can show any disapproval.

What I found really surprising in my very small poll, none of these folks have listened to my views or those of others. They have simply reached the decisions all by themselves based on how they actually see and experience things, rather that being told how good things really are. Several Lib-Dems I know will continue to vote that way but understand why and have respect for those who will put their big X alongside the UKIP candidates come May 7th. In the further unlikely event that my little poll is more widely represented in the no longer so green and pleasant .... who knows. That must be the big worry for the two major political parties.... and quite rightly so! They should be very worried, learn from it, take note and act accordingly. Based on all previous known form... FAT CHANCE!.
