No offence, but I'm not the sort to make financial transactions with strange men on the internet. Must be a sordid Tory thing.
You could even donate your winnings to charity given how confident you supposedly are, but of course you're all about bulls
t and trolling (no one in their right mind could come up with half the crap you do), not credible debate.A straight bet on who will be in power after the election. The loser to pay £1000 to the charity of the other person choosing through Just Giving. Easy to prove you've paid as you can leave a message. If the loser doesn't pay them they are to bugger off and never darken these forums again. My charity of choice is Help for Heroes as I'm an ex-serviceman.
So JawKnee, are you up for it or are you just trolling these forums? Surely £1000 is nothing to someone working in the City as you do.

Firstly he won't be able to afford a grand because fourteen year olds don't have that kind of cash lying around. And even if he did he'd be spending it on a Young Marxists weekend camp in Venezuela I mean, who wouldn't want to be schooled in revoloution by the likes of Karl Brecht Ho Chi Min Mugabe or similar.
Secondly there is no way a person like him would goive a red cent to a fascist militaristic organisation such as Help for Heroes (or as the Left likes to call the Heroes, right wing invaders and facilitaors of the evil Tory war machine).

I've previously offered to bet £1000, with the winnings going to charity. I'll make the offer again, and no need for JawKnee to enage with "strange men on the internet"

Betting on a sure thing isn't exactly brave is it? If we had a real opposition you might not be so keen.A straight bet on who will be in power after the election.

As per my previous unanswered question. If you get rid of everyone with a contrary point of view the forum would die on its arse.
another rat desserting the sinking ship. Good riddance! -

There's only one word left to describe Labour now - pathetic.Whenever I try to point out Labour's deficiencies to my mostly hard left work colleagues, I'm just met with a tirade of anti-Tory bile. I suppose I should expect nothing less, but it's quite depressing at times, grown men wailing like student union protesters against anyone with an apposing view!

To be fair it is only meant to get rid the forum of one youngster who adds nothing of any intellectual depth or progressive thinking to the discussions, we're trying to raise standards here!

It means that Labour should be worrying about the rights of the British people in the EU before they worry about the rights of the citizens of EU countries who live in the UK.
And how will they do that?Without EU migrants a lot of services would just fail.
The Conservatives have even conceded that EU migration would need to carry on after Brexit.

That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Why should a new government be compelled to follow the policy of the previous one? Plus I don't have a problem with guaranteeing that the generally hard working european residents can stay here (it's a shame I can't vote to get rid of some of those workshy, antisocial, xenophobic indigenous types instead...).

Why should they ALL be GUARANTEED to stay?Plus I don't have a problem with guaranteeing that the generally hard working european residents can stay here (it's a shame I can't vote to get rid of some of those workshy, antisocial, xenophobic indigenous types instead...).
As an example, why couldn't the government simply say that they will make the application process easy for those who want to stay?

I think borders of nation states are obviously necessary for a number of practical reasons particularly security, but ultimately they are somewhat arbitary lines in the sand and a barrier to freedom. In an ideal world it would be great to be able to freely live and work anywhere without restriction, but in practice that can can very problematic with highly imbalanced economies of the developing world that we have over there. But sharing a free moving area with other economically properous neighbouring countries seems progressive to me.

The application process makes sense but from what I read it was getting a little shambolic, wasn't it? Or was that the bloody European authorities complaining (again!)?
mx-6: Bloody Labour are trying to have a bet all ways as they have zero policies or credibility, it's like the Remaon campaign all over again - no substance. As someone else posted earlier it's easy when you're in Opposition, Cor-Blimey would s
