Is it just my imagination, or does this Imperialist murderer from a family of slave-owners look familiar? OK, he goes by the name "General Earle", but he's not fooling me. The cunt.

Mate, I've just got the personality of an old cunt. I'm not actually an old cunt. I remember when I told Rapey, and he was like 'fuck off, there's no way I'm having it that you're younger than me'. I've got that tattooed on the inside of my eyelids, just so I'm reminded of it every time I blink.

It certainly would have been interesting to see if he could have ended foodbanks at the moment and through the pandemic, not to mention the rest of the stuff.

The problem being that too many of them take money off the very few to help the very many and the very few won’t have that.

The pandemic isn't what is causing people to rely on foodbanks, or any of the other stuff.

 

Personally, I doubt Corbyn could have achieved half of that list, because his own Parliamentary Party would have stopped it. Still, we'd certainly be in a much less shit shape than we are now. Even the Brexit cultists might have seen some actual progress, rather than just Johnson's empty slogan.

I'm aware, but that's not what I said. I said it would be interesting to see then fix the issue during the pandemic. That was, of course, a seriously difficult time for a lot of people. The increate in foodbanks from a few under New Labour to roughly a Brazillian since 2010 is disgusting and the underlying caused need looking at, but had he taken over in 2019, to claim there'd be none is, in my view, fanciful.

Well, he probably wouldn't have put a fiddler in a position of power, spunked a load of money into his mate's PPE business, and partied until he was sick in a bush in number 10, but I also think there's a bit of a rosy perspective on the utopia it would have been if he'd got in. Not because of the PLP either.

McDonnell was calling for price controls on food and fuel the other day, as well.

To say there would have been no foodbanks is complete and utter bollocks. Once invented, food banks can never be un-invented. The best that could happen is a reduction in demand.

I think the idea is to reduce demand to the point that they close. That can only be done over time, and probably with a significant change in the balance of the economy. I agree that it seems fanciful. Especially given what’s happened since. 
 

As an aside, one of the most distressing things of late is foodbanks not just being for those who can make ends meet on benefits, as awful and demeaning as that is, but companies starting foodbanks for their own employees. That’s fucking broken. It’s even broken from a conservative perspective, and it’s not indicative of a prosperous economy. Well, not for ordinary people. You can’t dismiss those people as ‘scroungers‘, those are working people, and if working people can’t feed themselves, we are in some trouble.

Meanwhile, Jack Monroe has been calling on her Twitter followers to turn a blind eye if they see someone shoplifting baby food, baby formula or nappies; because that's where we live now.

The importance of getting a Labour government cannot be overstated. To say this is ‘getting silly’ might be underselling it a bit.
