Yes, meant to be sarcasm, Sir.

Yeah, forget about the lies and disaster tories did in 9 years through austerity and brexit, forget about the Labour policies and manifesto, let's focus on some people Labour might bring in government. Makes a very valid point to me why I would vote for Conservatives. As if Priti Patel, Nicky Morgan, Michael Gove are any different. Short reminder (I know, Corbyn propaganda...)

+1 on this, super deal, should be sold in the next 24hrs

I'm sure by now you've seen this leaked document from the Treasury, impartial civil servants, yet part of current government: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-boris-johnson-brexit-deal-leaked-government-documents-election-a9235326.html https://news.sky.com/story/general-election-jeremy-corbyn-says-treasury-document-proves-there-will-be-n-ireland-checks-11879518

NFU Mutual added. Anyone else you guys used? Please recommend it in this thread and I'll add it in the first post: https://www.nfumutual.co.uk/insurance/motor-insurance-a/car-insurance/

We're being played again, Umair. It's worse than that. Andrew Neil is the chairman of Press Holdings Media Group, aka Spectator, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Neil https://www.linkedin.com/company/press-holdings-media-group/about/ https://media.info/organisations/names/press-holdings Boris worked for the Spectator from 1999 to 2005, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson The Spectator is owned by Barclay Brothers, very ardent Brexit supporters, well, for a reason: https://novaramedia.com/2019/12/04/predatory-poisonous-vacuous-to-understand-boris-johnson-start-with-the-spectator/ What Andrew Neil did here is just some entry music, drum roll for Boris: https://apple.news/AN5jcf3I3Sq6Jp5sDsmu2lQ This is just for show, Boris will definitely come for the interview, I have no doubt in that, and he will argue that of course he's trustworthy because he said he was happy to be interviewed by anyone and here he is. And everyone will tune in and lap up every word because the whole thing's been so hyped up.

No, it won’t, you’re missing the point, it’s a prerogative that can be used to overrule the parliament, just as he tried, after lying to the queen. We’re in very dangerous territory if the judicial review won’t be available anymore.

This general election is about more than just Brexit. Brexit wont be done by January 31st, just as it hasn’t be done in July or October. Brexit will take 10-15 years to sort out, for a properly negotiated deal with EU, and specially if the people won’t be asked again in a referendum based on the information we know now. This general election is about having a fairer society, for being able to put food on the table, to prevent unnecessary pain and suffering, to take care of our planet for our kids and future generations, it’s for dealing child poverty, homelessness and mental health issues, for dealing with violent crimes and home brewed terrorism and so much more. It’s time we started carrying about everyone in the society and close the divide between us, generated by the fat cats, newspapers and a selected number of politicians. Do the right thing, Dan, think it through again.

Still waiting to be shown why Corbyn is "unelectable", some facts and links would be amazing. I genuinely want to understand.

Did you actually read the Conservative manifesto? Here's the link from their website: https://assets-global.website-files.com/5da42e2cae7ebd3f8bde353c/5dda924905da587992a064ba_Conservative 2019 Manifesto.pdf Check page 48: "We will ensure that judicial review is available to protect the rights of the individuals against an overbearing state, while ensuring that it is not abused to conduct politics by another means or to create needless delays." Does this mean Boris Johnson's decisions could not be ruled illegal, the only person with this status in UK, or am I reading it wrong? Forget 2000 years of legal precedent, the human rights laws, any equality considerations or any new law made by MPs? How about the separations of powers? As I read it, the ancient rights of royal prerogative could/would be used to overrule the parliament, so that the government and Prime Minister could act illegally, without any chance of stopping it. Remember when he tried to close Parliament for 5 weeks at a time of crisis, being ruled illegal? Or when May wanted to trigger Article 50 without parliamentary consent? Not a law specialist, but I'd love to hear what the specialists are saying about this paragraph with regards to the judicial reviews. Anything but Corbyn you say?

Does that mean you're going to reconsider your opinion / your vote, now that you can see facts / implications?

On the NHS sale: "Start with the shocking privatisation in 2013 of the NHS blood plasma supplier, on which thousands of patients depend. To protect the quality of the blood product, David Owen, as health secretary in 1975, took blood plasma collection into public ownership as Plasma Resources UK. But Jeremy Hunt, as health secretary, sold that off for £200m to a US private equity firm, Bain Capital, while Britain kept a 20% stake. Co-founded by Mitt Romney in 1984, Bain has over the years acquired such well known health products as Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Dominos Pizza and much else. Protesters, David Owen among them, warned that the company had a predatory reputation for asset stripping, but Bain promised it would develop the company into a “life sciences champion” in Hertfordshire. Instead, it sold it on to a Chinese company in 2016 for £820m. Was there any protest from our government, losing its last remnant of control? Not a word. Instead, an irony, the US government is expressing concern at China taking over a vital US-owned health asset." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/oct/25/boris-johnson-conservatives-nhs-funding Piece by piece, until the last piece.

Welcome to the club, Calv!

Had to google that, nice thread indeed! Congrats Samoht! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1843403&i=0

My pleasure. I've confirmed with Z1 several times, 100% forged invoice.

Welcome to the club!

Will message you shortly, thanks.

WOW, 4 years already! RIP Martin!

Both parts will work on all 350z. That being said, you might want to reconsider your purchase, they’re not the best quality stuff in my opinion.

But is already happening, Dan: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/nov/29/private-firms-handed-15bn-in-nhs-contracts-over-past-five-years

I'm not sure we would have been more screwed than we are now due to austerity. Here are some things to consider: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/feb/21/uk-economy-100bn-smaller-because-of-austerity-thinktank https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/may/15/child-poverty-above-50-per-cent-in-10-uk-constituencies https://fullfact.org/economy/poverty-uk-guide-facts-and-figures/ https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables

It doesn't make me shudder, but Mogg, Gove, Patel, Johnson, Raab and all their cronies do make me shudder. What are the top 5 serious character flaws you spotted in Corbyn? Genuinely curious to see what am I missing, coming from outside the British society / politics as I said. As for the proposals Labours are making in their manifesto, I can't see anything that screams let's go back to 1970s rather than let's cary on modernising the society: eg better founded NHS, free broadband so business can thrive, people can access services required etc, then the climate emergency measure and so on. To me that sounds modern society. And what's so 1970s to nationalise the railway? Seems to be working perfectly fine in Germany, to give just one example: https://www.citymetric.com/transport/are-german-trains-really-better-british-ones-rail-nationalisation-deutsche-bahn-3972 https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/uk-railways-are-already-almost-entirely-nationalised-by-foreign-countries/25/11/
