Brexit is the ideal thread to be discussing mutually assured destruction. But in our case the destruction is entirely self made.

No I feel my overriding point is very relevant and your's is misguided It's the distribution of wealth that is the creation of these problems, lack of affordable housing, cost of living, cost of utilities and services because we sold them off like our energy companies and railways, all culminating in the money the people generating, our social wealth, very little is coming back. As highlighted before it has led to a state of poverty people, rising homlessness, use of foodbanks and the average earner barely able to make ends meet. There is plenty of wealth to meet the needs of the people but the government tell you there's none, no magic money tree, then cut servies, welfare reforms so that wealth taken from the bottom and goes to the top. But you blame others, the immigrant, the "scrounger", as long as we do that the worse it will get as we regress further into the dickensian abyss we are heading Just out of interest, how exactly would you sort out the problems you have outlined above...Vote in Labour? All the rich Labour MPs would help you out? Really?You are very misguided if you think that, Corbyn and Abbott would destroy whats left of the UK in a very short time.

Not gonna get political about, but I'd renationalise transport and utilities, increase minimum wages, a massive house building program, increase taxes on people with bigger houses and own more than 1 property, levy on buy to let mortgages, make sure corporations pay right amount of tax and bring legislation for heavy fines for companies that breach that, a tax on goods and services not based in UK and tax relief for small businesses

I don't normally partake in the political debates on HOL as politics plays a part in my life outside HOL,accordingly I concentrate on the football threads. I thought that on this occasion I would divulge what I have been informed regarding the voting intentions of Conservative MPs in the 'Meaningful vote' Will oppose the deal 68, probably oppose the deal 28, may oppose the deal 8.

That's illogical as if you don't partake in political debates here as you have an active interest in politics why then do you partake in Palace discussions when you have an active interest in the club and it's fortunes?
