You are ALL so THICK! British socialism is NOT about state control or dictatorship, it never has been (with our long standing socialist governments and economy) its about being fare and equal. NOT leaving a six year old child to die from cancer cause they cant pay. NOT allowing pharamcutical companies to charge rediculous anounts for drugs that cost pennies to make. NOT giving tax money to bankers.

From "We Only Want the Earth" by James Connolly...

Some men, faint-hearted, ever seek

Our programme to retouch,

And will insist, wheneer they speak

That we demand too much.

Tis passing strange, yet I declare

Such statements give me mirth,

For our demands most moderate are,

We only want the earth.

The European Union and free market capitalism ... MY ARSE!

Interesting.

All true socialists would oppose the EU and it's totalitarian globalist agenda. Forget left and right it's about freedom or slavery.

About time people learnt to fend for themselves and be responsible for their own actions. Drink a cup of cement and harden the fuck up.

Sick to death of working my butt off and paying shed loads of tax for people to use on welfare for their 10 kids and for people who cant be bothered to work whilst they have a lifestyle thats equal too or better than mine.

Too bad they never got a seat, they got about 100,000 votes which is good for a party like theirs

[PHILRAWS]

I'd like to stand for the slp in Skem,

any suggestions on how to start

Socialism DOESN'T WORK! How the hell is it fair? Why should the successful be punished, and the unsuccessful be rewarded? It does not make sense.

We need smaller government, less taxes, less welfare, less government control and massive cuts to public spending, such as in the NHS and civilian cuts to police force.

Free market economy FTW - businesses would have to provide good services, otherwise they'd fail - self regulating. Not money laden public firms spunking cash up the wall.

[jjintheuk]

@pardeepsinghk Yep, that is talking sense! Whenever the state gets hold of things, and throws money at it, the people working have to incentive to run things efficiently, they are spending no-ones (taxpayers) money, with almost infinite resources, as the government can just pump money back in.

In free market economy, private businesses have to do well, have to treat customers well, have to run efficiently or they fail and collapse - it would be self regulating

[jjintheuk]

@krazykeys88 Yeah so line the pockets of the poor, and the failing industries with tax payers money, great idea! Oh yeah, while you're at it, build a few more hospitals to provide 'free' healthcare at enormous expense!

Non need to be protectionist, our country is great! Free market economy should be the answer, and less regulation - less taxing, less welfare. Let the people fend for themselves! If you want something, work for it
