    I do something about it , that’s why I’m an activist . You’re just stabbing in the dark now .
    No good moaning on here about your version of a fair society as far as that goes . Do something about it .

    I don't need to do anything about it because I'm OK. Don't get me wrong - I started with nothing.

    I never had wild expectations and I'm happy with my lot.

    I do see my own version of unfairness in society. But I have no desire to lead. I would follow, if inspired.

    I’m ok as far as that goes and I don’t need to do it but that’s not why I do it .
    I’m no leader by a long way but I have a good idea where I want a leader to take me I don’t follow blindly .
    I don’t have a problem with rich people just the greedy and avarice and the ladder removers .

    I've been applying for IT jobs for the last 4 years and had lots of interviews, I never get even an email telling me I didn't get the job. In the meantime I signed up as an agency worker which ended up with me at BCA, I also did some bar work. I was lucky that the regular vehicle imager left and was given the opportunuty and became a full time employee in august 2018. It seems there's a lot of ageism these days.

    As usual spouting unsubstantiated claims. I am not disputing the NHS has been underfunded for years due to austerity but there is no evidence to suggest historical underfunding makes a huge difference in the current situation...
    Given the Italian Health service is well funded equipped and staffed in normal situations how does that explain the infection and death rates which are far higher than the UK?
    The simple fact is NO Health system can have the spare capacity to cope with this level of infections in the same way it could not cope with mass casualties from terrorist attack using a biological weapon of mass destruction.
    If there were extra beds and staff they would have been full of patients anyway. The only difference being the waiting lists for routine operations prior to the pandemic would have been shorter. In short no Health system has lots of spare beds wards equipment and medics standing by 'just in case' Nor can Specialist equipment be stockpiled and specialist medical personnel e.g. virologist trained and mothballed to cover every eventuality. This is unprecedented.

    OK go on then.Go on What have you 'activated'? Protesting and complaining about a particular individual or political party rather than fcussing on specific policies achieves nothing. You fall into the category of one of those 'protesters' who believes if Mr X says something then it is automatically wrong and if Mr Y says something it must be right. You are right about one thing, you are a follower as protest without offering alternative solutions that are achievable, or at the very least giving tangible reasons why something is wrong or how it can be improved.

    no i wouldnt call you that as i dont know, all i see is the posts off you and the other people of your ilk on here that think that magical santa ( a grey haired old man who fetches gifts that other people have to pay for ) is the answer to everything when in actual fact its him and his policies that have led a once great party to the biggest ar5e kicking they've had in 80+ years and then try to blame, boris, the tories, the media,the voters, mass hypnosis, drugs, anything but themselves instead of looking inwards and trying to fix the problem.................. momentum/marxism is the true enemy within, you can argue as much as you want and point the finger, look at the results, look at the % of voter swings look at the % of lost labour votes even in the few seats they clung onto, you can try and defend his policies as eloquently as you undoubtably can, but look whos furniture pickfords moved into no 10 and ask why. this poor ******* boris has been give a right poison chalice with brexit and covid19, just get behind the CURRENT MANAGEMENT and in 4.5 years time if labour have got their 5h1t together ( i doubt that very much) regroup and have another go. in the mean time you and yours do like uncle boris says and stay in, seriously, stay safe mate

    LOL. Not logged onto the forum since the election where Boris smashed Corbyn and still left wing Marlon is spouting his tripe. Take a chill pill old lad and have another read of your manifesto to see if you understand it this time. Over and out.

    That's fair enough. But there are rules already in place that say if you give your assets within 7 years of your death, then it's put back in your estate for Inheritance Tax purposes. Why not make that rule 25 years?
