Daily Mail readers are too easily brainwashed. He never said that about SB. He argued against stripping her of her citizenship and argued that she should return to the UK to face trial. I can't remember a time when he has demanded that 16yo's should vote. It seems unlikely. Perhaps I missed that.

Wasn't Begum also under 16 when she actually went to Syria and married her Daesh fighter husband? But I'm sure there's plenty of comparisons to draw between a young girl potentially groomed to join a terrorist death cult and to putting an X on a ballot paper. So long as we can blame or use it against Corbyn we should just rehash rubbish, disingenuous right wing talking points.

Hobbies interests: I like to surround myself with socially inept people and have tried to avoid mixing with anyone of any intellectual gravitas.
Personal statement: I am sure I would be a very good PM for Britain, firstly by instituting a Government of perpetuity, that way we do not need to spend any more money on silly elections. I would then hand over complete control of the UK firstly to the EU and then as that develops within ten years a World Government overseen by the UN. The UN as you will be pleased to know, has 164 members, of these 20 are classified as fully democratic (Democracy Index), 55 are regarded as flawed democracies, with the remainder not being regarded as democratic. So we should be in safe hands!! Finally, all of my socialist friends and I will live a life of luxury while we rape and pillage the lifestyles of the wealthy who worked for their money and created thousands of jobs for the economy.
Vote Corbyn, you know it makes sense !

This is the issue with modern political discourse. If you've made up your mind about someone, there is little need or motive for context or even truth. You just carry on believing what you want to believe and not holding your own political parties, policies and politicians to the same standard. Total lack of critical thinking from the likes of sleeveless et al. But these are the types who have "just about had enough of experts".

Thatcher started this housekeeping analogy. Countries are not like households. In the situation you describe it would be more accurate to say that I borrow money to invest or spend to create more money that I can use to buy a drink with.

Nevillman is correct, it's absurd and economically illiterate to compare an individual or household budget with how a countries economy operates. If we cut our spending and expenses as a household, our income/salary remains the same as income and expenditure are broadly independent from each other. However when a country cuts spending, income falls.

I can't see it either! If all the households cut spending then their incomes would fall because their incomes depend on selling goods and services that would be in less demand. I find the economic illiteracy boot to be on the other foot. On the subject of literacy may I suggest that someone who writes "countries economy" should bear in mind the proverb about glasshouses and stones.

You're being obtuse. We weren't talking about ALL households (and you probably knew that already). We were talking about how when some economic dunderheads attempt to compare an individual persons household budget compared with that of the world's 6 largest economy (when attempting to argue for shrinking the state). Expenses and income are simply not anywhere nearly as intertwined. One could cut down on many expenses in their outgoings and yet their income would remain the same. This just isn't the same in a national budget.

Grammatical attacks, oh drat. You got me.
I have re-read that sentence that you're struggling to comprehend. It certainly could be better articulated and worded, but it still makes sense. Reducing your household budget expenses isn't likely to reduce your salary because it's independent from each other.
