Re: The Tories

BT have been laying plenty of fibre optic cables. They're spending £2.5 billion on it.

Re: The Tories

You've got to be kidding me. You would not be able to do that today if it was still nationalised.

Re: The Tories

Yes there are problems. The privatisations that happened haven't turned into some utopian system that can do no wrong. It is better than the old system though. Do you honestly trust politicians to...

Re: The Tories

Privatisation wasn't just a "bit of political dogma". It lead to competition which benefited the consumer, replacing inefficient state monopolies and taking the taxpayer off the hook. Take the...

Re: The Tories

No need to imagine. The Government borrowed £8bn the last July Labour were in office. Public Sector Finances, July 2009 (http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/psa/public-sector-finances/july-2009/index.html)

Re: papal knighthood for former MP

Sorry to hear that Ken is unwell. I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him. Was clearly very well respected before and after being Hyndburn's MP.

Re: Great to see it

Graham's comments are ridiculous. It's the politics of class warfare and his distain for the better off appears to blind his ability to understand rural poverty.

His argument is pretty baseless....

Re: The Tories

Do you realise you're going to look a bit silly when come the next election the NHS is still here; free at the point of use, based on need, not ability to pay?

Re: Northern Parliament

There's a campaign called People's Pledge running local referendums asking people if they want an in/out referendum on the EU. They are designed to highlight just how important the issue is to people...

Re: Election - Place yer bets.

Maine is a caucus state which conducts straw polls at the various meeting locations around the state. There is no electronic voting.

Re: Northern Parliament

A more effective way is to refuse to vote for any MP or candidate that isn't in favour of a referendum. They'll soon change their tune if enough people speak up.

Re: Northern Parliament

How do you know I'm a paid up member? Either way it doesn't matter. Point is I want an MP that supports and will vote for a referendum, no matter what their respective party leader says. The fact...

Re: Northern Parliament

Agreed. Very much in favour of an EU referendum no matter who's in office. Individual MPs, no matter which party, need to come out in favour of having one. Maybe Graham will come round to it? He...

Re: Northern Parliament

The European Union is out of touch with the North, South, East and West. Graham should really focus his efforts on getting us a referendum on our membership of the EU. If he's committed to more...

Re: Can Peter pay Paul so Paul can pay Peter?

Labour would have had us in the Euro had it not been so politically toxic! Miliband (Ed) still refuses to rule it out!

Re: Can Peter pay Paul so Paul can pay Peter?

Arguably this isn't proper capitalism. It's crony capitalism. Central banks printing money devalues a currency and hits the middle class with inflation while the bankers run all the way to the.. bank.

Re: drop the bill

Curious question. If they end up running the hospital better, will you still be against it because you disagree with the principle?
