I don't think one is more important than the other.

(That doesn't surprise me despite the decent answer being the 16/19 year olds trying to better themselves deserve a leg-up.)

Any idea how long HS2 would take off a journey from say Westminster to East Dumbartonshire?

But you're only looking at one side of the coin (again) in focusing on what was cut and ignoring what was brought in to replace it.

EMA was cut by the Coalition as well.

 

You tell me?

It was replaced by a bursary scheme, which was admittedly cheaper, but the poorest students got more than they did before. You make it sound like it was cut and nothing replaced it.

Ok so my ex was a trainee nurse on a Bursary and they were all worse off than before. But ok.

The Lib Dem plans are in some ways stricter than the fiscal rules introduced by George Osborne when he was Chancellor - raising the prospect of a swift return to austerity.

More SD lies. How he hasn't been banned and properly filled in is beyond me. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They haven't got a 3rd place play off at Wimbledon.

They're planning to plant 60 million trees a year. Presumably to make more money when they sell off our forests.

 

[Strontium]

Trees tend to work in much the same way whoever owns them.

[Mudface]

Depends if the owner wants to cut the down or restrict access to people I guess.

[Strontium]

Defra said that access would remain unchanged after the coalition forest sale. And the only trees that would have been cut down would be the ones already being cut down in commercial woodland.

[Mudface]

That's nice. Shame the overwhelming outrage against it killed the policy stone dead and prompted even the then environment secretary to apologise and say that they'd got it wrong. It sounds wonderful.

[Strontium]

The public are always right, of course, as Brexit and two successive Conservative governments show.

[Mudface]

Amazing. Bjornebye's right about you, you really will defend anything 'your' party do, right down to voting for a failed Tory policy that even they dropped like a hot potato.

 

Weird.

I'll defend anything which is being misrepresented. If you want me to stop, then stop misrepresenting the things my party has done. Simple.
