serial thriller The Promised Land 19 May 17 7.12pm
This election has just got interesting really quickly. Labour are now polling on the same figures as Blair's majority government. Their manifesto has symbolically crushed the ghosts of Blair while Corbyn himself is whipping up political crowds unheard of in this country's recent history. Meanwhile, the Tories, while significantly ahead, are falling apart. May can't even confirm who her chancellor will be, yet she's standing on a strong and stable platform! They've alienated huge numbers of journalists, as well as their one main demographic: pensioners. The neoliberal wing of the party are s***ting it about the immigration cap's effect on the economy, the whole manifesto seems totally uncosted, and suddenly life long tory voters are pledging for Labour. If punk ever happened I'd be preaching the law, instead of listenin to Lydon lecture BBC4

Shadow Chancellor on means testing the fuel allowance: [Labour] "won't put older people through the indignity of losing their winter fuel allowance when they are already, too many of them, living in deep poverty and sadly some die of hypothermia." This when all the Tories are proposing is that the likes of Alan Sugar don't get bunged £200 when the don't need it. Those who do need it will still get it. Edited by hedgehog50 (19 May 2017 7.31pm) We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (19 May 2017 7.52pm) But that is not businesses charging what they want/what they think customers will pay (what you said). That is determining price by profit margin, which is what you said they don't do these days. No they don't. Businesses generally try to squeeze the competition by price. COYP
