Dennis tells the truth about what the conservatives are really up to and also he is the only real man in parliament unlike most of the conservatives who are only interested in serving the interests of big business and corporations by giving them big tax cuts ie corporate welfare and at the same time introducing punitive treatment of our most vulnerable people the sick and disabled which has led to hundreds of suicides not to mention violating there human rights which was highlighted in a United nations report.

You should treat people how you expect people to treat you and behave properly and with decency. He has no decorum or self-restraint and should have been banished from the Common's to cool off and reflect on his behaviour.

Your name "King Edward was emperor" says it all, a man who embarrassed his homeland, abdicated (was no emperor), sympathies towards the Germans. Yet, DS was a youngest in wartime, rationing, going down a mine, and threat of bombing. Inappropriate comment, as he maybe old now, but still has wit and more integrity than DT, King Edward VIII, etc

@King Edward was emperor Ooooh ... My father was a fitter engineer in LNER/British Rail, and I have worked for the NHS, so you could not have chosen better, two of the nationalised industries where they have been undermined. NHS is actually partially privatised and is in a worse state of affairs. When BR was privatised, fares went up, there were plenty of accidents and compensation cases, maintenance was horrendous, taking longer to get to destinations having to change often, crowded carriages. I rest my case.

@mop714 4 жыл бұрын

@King Edward was emperor Frankly, we could all have a good life, if commonsense prevailed. I believe in private industry and I also believe in certain industries being nationalised. If we did not have the extremes in policies of consecutive Government ruining our economy over the last 50 years, I would agree with you in part. I have worked for both private industry and nationalised and can see the pros and cons of both. Both Tory and Labour personnel in power have made some real mistakes which has costed our economy and our reputation. The problem with nationalised industry is accountability, and if that was sorted, it would work. Next year the present Government will have £811 billion of taxpayers/corporate tax. If they cannot fix it with this, and make good trade agreements .... well, we will have to wait and see. Good to debate, but to do it with honour. "Manners Maketh Man".
