Can anyone with any ntelligence still think that Labour can be the answer? Their latest old-fashioned failed socialist policy must make people realise that these people are economically intellectual pygmies. How on earth will rent controls and making it less attractive for landlords to rent by making them rent for minimum 3 years help with the supply of private rental properties?! This was already tried for decades and caused a massive shortage because potential landlords stopped buying ffs! So they'll be nothing to rent!
The problem is caused by classic supply and demand. What needs to happen is to stop so many people coming across our borders and pushing up demand, whilst continuing to free up the planning process and getting more properties built.
All these policies of interfering with the market will never ever work and will actually have the diametrically opposite effect to that intended.
I just give up. |  | | |  |

why cant they just build very basic houses/flats for those in real need but with no right to buy and once those living there have either improved their status ie savings better job ect they have to move out and pay proper rent or put down payments on a place
also theres no way any one on welfare/benefits should be able to claim more then the so called standard working average think its about £24,000 , and no child benefit after 2nd child if you cant afford to keep children DONT have them
and before you ask my ladies can ones on £1750 a week ,I don't even get that a month! |  |

But isnt NHS is in crisis ?? Thats what Ed keps telling us , first class treatment and bedside manner , surely some mistake ?
Your point on immigrant NHS workers is a good one , but can be countered somewhat by the immigrant patients they are treating . As with housing its a simple matter of mathematics .
The time to give up will be when Ed Milliband enters Downing Street with Nicola Sturgeon tugging at one testicle and Len Mcluskey tugging on the other one . |
Obviously we have different opinions, which is what makes life worth living tbh. However, I really have never understood the fear of lobbying groups which (whether or not it's as democratic as it could be) is a representative voice of working people, while at the same time we welcome with open arms business lobbying groups and pseudo independent 'think tanks' who represent a tiny minority of the interests of capital.
Disco's straw poll is interesting and I think may point to a Tory majority government. It's also fascinating to me how the left have embraced the SNP (a scottish nationalist party) whilst demonising UKIP (an English nationalist party). It's intellectual chauvinism from the left if you ask me. At that's from an old fashioned dialectic red. |  |

Oh dear. You've missed the point. It's about supply and demand. It's a failed socialist policy from the 1970s and looking at your username, you presumably would be able to remember that. It didn't work then and won't work now and, as I said, will have exactly the opposite effect to that intended; that is my point, it won't do what's it's leading people to believe it will do.
Never mind, eh, at least it will pander to those unbelievable number of people who think that "bashing the rich" (if that what is intended to look like) is the answer, notwithstanding that those very people generate the wealth that those very people rely on for jobs, safety nets, NHS etc.
Still, at least it's something for me to think about other than seeing Karl Henry on the pitch for 90 minutes at left-half in a game we had to win. |
So I'm an unintelligent, economic Pygmy, who's missed the point. I'm surprised I have enough wit to wipe my bum in the mornings.
Perhaps a job on the board at QPR awaits?
Oh and I'm not that old, but, I can remember the 70s. Particularly 1975/76... [Post edited 26 Apr 2015 15:10]

The SNP's social and economic policies are to the left of Labour, while Ukip's social and economic policies are to the right of the Tories. That's why the English left are more enthusiastic about the SNP than Ukip; nothing to do with "intelllectual chauvinism", whatever that is. |  | | |

Yes the UKIP is more right wing and the SNP more left. But they are both, at their core, nationalist parties. Their similarities in central belief far outweigh policy differences, which, like all the parties, are relatively minor.
By refusing to acknowledge this and concentrating on attacking the 'nasty' UKIPs I think the left intelligentsia has simultaneously spoken down to a large percentage of an alienated public in the UK while acting as a poor advocate for scottish voters.
Which is what I meant by intellectual chauvinism. Although, granted, it was a pretty obtuse and flowery expression, maybe more suited to pseuds corner... | |

Religion has no place in the world.
Politics however does - don't you remember how we were all treated under Thatcher?
And re "who to vote for" - you have to consider the system and safe seats
Well, lets take the Uxbridge Road.
Live in Uxbridge and Conservatives will win. Live in Hayes and Labour will win. Live in Southall and Labour will win. Live in Ealing and that's 50/50. Live in Acton and Labour will win. Live in W12 and Labour will win.
Our close fan base are Labour and Ealing aside (although Labour are leading the polls there) that won't be changing anytime soon.
No self respecting working class football fan would ever vote Conservative. Only the scum and their "fans" do that. |  | | |

im from a long line of east enders going back over 150 years and ther've always supported labour, my grandad and dad worked on the print for the daily mirror for a combined 76 years and red ted, my grandad lost his hearing to the printing presses. ive seen what supporting a bunch of chinless fu ck planks from millbank who waltz into the east end in white paper suits and shake hands with the local rasta , before going home to die of fright and burning said paper suit ,every 4 or 5 years to get your vote ,gets you.
living in a shithole. abandonded.forgotten .abused.
these fkrs have relied on tradition and become complacent . arrogant thinking that working class east enders will still vote labour cause they have red DNA in them. docile quisilings . fk that.

one thing they wont do is fack off to essex like thousands of other labour voters have done. they were born there and despite labour and emily thornberry best efforts , they will fackin well die there.
to me, if you vote labour thats odd , but fu ck me i wouldnt tell other people on here to support another team. espescially some of the gadges on here who have been going 40 , 50 years . ive only been going since 1977 the year of drowning in salaiva with the slits, banshees and buzzocks. i'll be fked seven ways from sunday by winston sillcott up the starfish if im going off to support another team because i wouldnt use a red labour rosette to clean lord janners harry monk up with.

Unfortunately that system worked for just one generation and has caused untold problems for the following ones.
In Scotland we don't have the 'problems' of increasing population through immigration yet we do have a shortage of affordable housing too. There's far too many houses bought for investment and lie empty the whole time, I used to live in a rural area and about 25% of the houses were holiday homes owned by non residents of Orkney.
25 years ago the wages in Orkney were crap (a builders labourer would earn £120-140 gross a week) but flats and houses were plentiful and affordable. Bedsits were about £10 -15 a week and houses were selling for less than £20k for a modest ready to live in property.
Nowadays wages are of course much better but the housing situation can make it seem as though it is impossible to get on the property ladder and create a much more unfair society, if the Tories are all about social mobility then unfortunately the 'right to buy' policy has long term held back a huge proportion of the country. |  | | |

The children wont starve.
Sorry, really annoys me that people (not you) think that everyone else should pay for their large family.
My brother and i lived on very little and we managed. My dad was a musician and money came in erractically. My mum had a stall in goldborne road on Saturdays and we were supplimented by a very basic child benefit, very basic. My mum didnt have more kids because she knew we couldnt afford to and the state wouldnt have helped any further back then.
Now the state is pandering to people and its encouraging people to have more kids so they can get bigger homes that is also not helping.
A family just moved (by the council) into a 1930's 3 bed house over the road, EIGHT children. Even with a loft conversion (now 4 bedrooms) paid for by the taxpayer the house is not designed for 10 people, 4-5 at most. They're causing their neighbours either side, one a working family the other a retired couple, havoc and the police have been around a few times already due to noise and apparently kids being locked in bedrooms.
The state feeds these people to have more kids. [Post edited 26 Apr 2015 22:35]

wondered when you'd pop out of the woodwork.
I'm not "blaming immigrants". Our population is rampantly out of control, to the extent that we cannot say with any accuracy just what the net migration is. You quite correctly agree that it's supply and demand. Ergo, you cannot then argue that immigration has nothing to do with the issue - why is it a "million miles devoid from reality". The reason that we need to build a load more houses, as again you correctly argue, is because our population increase is out of control. Simple.
And, to get back to the original point, none of the issues will be solved (in fact they will be made worse) than today's old-fashioned proved-that-it-doesn't work socialist ideological crap. |
Where's the ideology.? Private sector cannot provide social housing, fact, sel houses without restocking, or anything, and the supply shortage screws everything. Do so for 30 years with next to know building and it is the Market that is out of control. Fact, no ideology. |  | | |

I presume everyone who bought their council home under right-to-buy wholeheartedly opposes the cutting back of welfare provision (the welfare budget includes the NHS, by the way) and benefits, given they got a bloody great gift from the state. After, all in the words of the Tory minister who oversaw it, "no single piece of legislation has enabled the transfer of so much capital wealth from the state to the people", what with the discounts of between 33% and 50% on the market price. | | | |
