    Well then you shouldn't have punted £10k on a tory win for the sake of £400.

      Will he get £400 back as consolation prize if he loses £10k?

        That word "eventually" is bad psychology, as it suggests the crunch is a long way down the road so needn't be worried about.

        It would be better and more accurate to say socialists "SOON" run out of other peoples' money.

            Beat me to it, but he did say it was 'brought up to date for Facebook' so perhaps it was dumbed down to that level on purpose?

              Frankly it's already pretty dumbed down, simplistic twaddle. What makes people think that making a big image with a quote makes their point any more coherent or reasoned?

                The facts (remember the days when they mattered) don't agree:

                  If Corbyn & co took control then, based on their boasts and commitments, the deficit would rapidly spin out of control in a spiral of extravagant madness.

                    I don't think it matters who comes to power and what their economic policy is because the biggest threat to the economy is Brexit.
                    Compared to the contraction that's going to happen, a few billion here and there isn't going to make much difference.

                      Does it really make sense to base assumptions about a Corbyn government on the record of fairly centrist Labour governments? I wouldn't be worried about a Labour victory if was to give us Harold Wilson 2 as the next PM.

                      I also wonder to what extent some figures add up when you take account of leads and lags in the economy. Inflation or expenditure in the first few years of any government can be related to policies of the previous administration. Policies can take a long time to take effect. Inflation hit its peak under Thatcher but it was rocketing before she took power and was hardly going to drop straight away.
