Labour Leadership Contest

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Unless Labour can convince the electorate that they can run the economy competently they wont win. However inspiring Corbyn is to many young people election after election proves it's economic competence that decides the winner, Labour get in if they can convince people they are sound and if they don't then people vote in the Tories more out of fear than any positive affirmation of their policies. It's a boring reality that repeats and repeats .

They could point to their record in Government - and then point to Osborne's.  When it comes to basic competence, Labour wipe the fucking floor with the Tories, every time.

Such as their record on job creation? Increasing unemployment during every Labour government.

 

If they can't get that right, who the hell would trust them.

Really?

[Hermes]

Yes really. Name one labour government that has reduced unemployment. There hasn't been one yet- ever. The question was asked in the house of commons and there wasn't an answer.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

This one goes further back - it shows what those terrible Socialists did in 1979.

Just wanted to say I hope you never get hit by a speeding Arctic truck and then have a grand piano land on the grease spot, you festering twat.

The one that came in in 1997.  It wasn't until they let the Capitalists wreck the place that unemployment returned to the kind of levels it was under their immediate predecessors.

 The last Labour leader did not dispute it.

 

 April 2nd 2014.

And yet the facts do.

The last Labour leader also let the fact that Gideon added shit loads of debt slide by uncommented.  The last Labour leader was dogshit.

[Creator Supreme]

Glad I've put that cunt on ignore, fucking Tory bellend!

Yes, yes he was, I still maintain he's the worst political party leader I have ever seen.

[Hermes]

 Maybe I need to put it in big writing.

 

 

 Which Labour Government left office with the unemployment rate at a lower level than when it took office?

 

 Ed Milliband could not name one when it was stated on 02.04.2014.PrimeMinisters Questions. Look it up in Hansard.

[Hermes]

The silence is deafening.

[Hooch]

Ya ma

Did nobody ever teach you how to read a graph?

1979 - 1983 Tories increased unemployment massively.

1983 - 1987  Unemployment reduced, but still not as low as under Labour.

1987 - 1992  Tories increased unemployment massively.

1992 - 1997  Unemployment reduced, but still not as low as under Labour.

1997 - 2001 Labour reduced unemployment to low levels not seen since the previous Labour Government

2001 - 2005  Labour reduced unemployment.

2005 - 2010 Labour held unemployment low, until the effects of the global economic fuck-up hit.

2010 - 2015 The Tory-led Coalition left office with unemployment at a lower rate than the inflated one it had inherited, but not without increasing unemployment first.

Ed Milliband struggled to eat a bacon sandwich.  That does not mean that bacon sandwiches are inedible.

 

Like I say, Labour wipe the floor with the Tories when it comes to employment - and economic competence in general.

[Jairzinho]

What a fucking meaningless statistic in isolation anyway. Zero hour contracts, "apprenticeships" (child labour at about £3 p/h), part time, the people forced to become "self employed" that have no income at all, people that have been sanctioned for being 12 seconds late for a meeting. All the unemployment figure really measures is the amount of people claiming JSA. 

 

Over 5m people in work are below the poverty line. 

 

 

 

 

[Hermes]

 Which one?

 

 They claim to represent the "working class".

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The silence is deafening.

I was distracted by events elsewhere (not to be mentioned on the GF).

 

You cock.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

The silence is deafening.

Are you Kay Burley?

 

I had already answered the question twice.

[Hermes]

Still waiting. Ed couldn't answer it. Neither did any Labour MP when the question was asked.

Have you got me on ignore?

 

You asked a question.  I've answered it three times.  You keep blathering on about Ed Milliband, as if that's in any way relevant to anything.

 

You are a stupid person.  I'm going to bed.  Go fuck yer ma.

[Hermes]

Hansard 2nd April 2014. Look it up there is even a youtube clip there of the question. Ed ducked it.

Dictionary - "irrelevant" - Look it up.

[Hermes]

Haha, you checked it then.

 

 

.

 

 One minute and 24 seconds in. No Labour MP response. Or any sensible one here.

 

 I rest my case.
