None of which answers the observation about Boris financial promises?

He's going to scrap buses with slogans down the side. Save a fortune.

Or scrap HS2.

Corbyn did apparently have his manifesto costed. Believe that or not?

Just because something is costed doesn't mean that the money is available to fund it. I know the cost of a Bugatti Chiron, but no way can I afford to buy one.

He was playing with words, trying to dupe the public in to thinking that his manifesto was affordable, when it clearly wasn't.

The institute for fiscal studies costed his manifesto and tax plans and said there was a massive gap (can’t remember how much). Why this didn’t get more publicity at the time I don’t know.

But if there aren't numbers on the sides of buses, who will I know who to vote for?

Without such unassailable propaganda your mind will be opened and true enlightenment will befall you.

What was so bad about getting rid of student debt anyway?

What is bad is people's total misunderstanding of the finances.

Students don't have a debt. The country has the debt. The students are repaying the obligation that they made to repay the loan if they earn enough to do so, and if they don't earn enough, the country will swallow the cost.


University charges £27,000 for a three year course. Government pays the university.

Student earns £21,000 pa, they repay nothing.
Student earns £30,000 pa, they would take home £1962 instead of £1994 per month. Education cost = £384 per year.
Student earns £50,000 pa, they would take home £2945 instead of £3128 per month. Education cost = £2196 per year.

Now decide if it's worth it. It is an investment in their own future. Would they be earning £50,000 without the degree?

Plus the salient point that after 30 years the “debt” is written off irrespective of whether you have paid a little or a lot off....

Martin Lewis is always a good listen regarding student finances, he views the funding of the “debt” as an education surcharge, which in reality is what it is...

Good posts.
Martyn Lewis silenced a shouty Question Time audience with this explanation. It was quite enjoyable...

You don't think his student loan would have been enough to dissuaded him then?

Who’s loan? Forgive my question but the thread moves to fast.
For the record, no matter how poor you are, a student Loan is no deterrent . I paid mine back with a strange thing called a job and if I was a bum it would get written off. Not hard to understand

He seems to be a bit quiet on the Hong Kong protests. Maybe someone should show him the footage and say it was taken in Gaza?

Same with Kashmir.

Maybe his little red book doesn't have any instructions of what to say.

Maybe he has sympathy for the Chinese communist party.

Or he didn’t stick up for the Hong Kong people when the government decided not to give them right of abode in the U.K. before the handover.

Ahhh but yeh but no but: , wrong kind of Communists

[ellroy]

He wants to support the ‘rebels’ in any situation and oppose the Imperialist Brits, but sadly for him in HK they’re flying the Union flag.
