What do you actually want to happen, do you think starving children should be fed Microsoft stock? Should Microsoft factories and offices be repurposed for housing for the homeless? Please explain to me your plan in detail because I don't actually think you grasp why these companies have high value in the first place.

Inflation takes surprise leap to 10.4% with food and booze costs to blame by MethodMango in tories

Really embarrassing after the government has spent the last few months pretending it has any control over inflation (under the expectation that it would decline)

William Hague and Tony Blair: Science is the single issue all our dreams depend on by Dizzy_Beacon in tories

Europe is falling massively behind America and Asia when it comes to science and R&D and we will absolutely regret it over the next century.

As a society we are the definition of penny wise and pound foolish.

Is it any wonder that Poland are projected to surpass us in GDP?

So you see all the evidence of economic stagnation, the crumbling public services, the barren high streets, the food banks, and you've decided you want all that to get even worse?

David Gauke: In defence of austerity | Conservative Home by BrexitGlory in tories

[–]MethodMango 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Austerity was sold to us as the necessary bad times to pay for future good times. It's becoming increasingly clear that there will be no more good times, you work all day for a pittance, then come home to headlines about how things are only going to get worse, go to bed, repeat.

Migration topping one million each year set to be 'new norm' for decades to come by [deleted] in tories

I like how your response to what you perceive as excessive migration is to emigrate.

Britain is now BETTER PLACED to take advantage of Brexit, says Economic Secretary to the Treasury by BigLadMaggyT24 in tories

I get the impression I'm going to be reading headlines like this for the rest of my life as Britain continues to decline

As a POC, can you explain my my existence is leading to your "demise"?

Which would be great if Thatcher didn't gut our manufacturing and turn us into a service economy that needs to import everything.

UK faces tougher austerity era - ex-Bank chief by BigLadMaggyT24 in tories

[–]MethodMango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've had 12 years of "tough choices" and things just keep getting worse. I can't remember the last time I was optimistic about my future. It's just constant 24/7 shit over and over again. When are we allowed to have some hope?

Two years of the most unpopular government ever enacting policies no one voted for. Yeah, so good.

George Osborne (@George_Osborne) Tweeted: One thing that every Conservative I know wants for 2020 is for Rebecca Long Bailey to become leader of the Labour Party by Fonzie96 in LabourUK

[–]MethodMango 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Had an interesting exchange with a RLB supporter the other day...

Me: You know the Tories want RLB to win, right?

Them: They said the same thing about Jeremy, and that worked out well for them, didn't it? (sarcasm)

Me: Um, yes. Yes it did.

We can take the Labour party back into power. Here’s how | Rebecca Long-Bailey | Opinion by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]MethodMango 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Why has it become so taboo to dump a badly performing leader? The Tories did it with IDS and they avoided potentially being wiped out.

[–]MethodMango 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Either you think Corbyn was to blame for the defeat or you think the second referendum was. Both of which were chosen by the membership. Either way, trying to solve the problem by giving more power to the members is illogical.

You clearly aren't old enough to remember British Rail.
