Less than a week to go until the election. The media continues with its f**kery. This little gem was in today's Evening Standard (the paper edited by the former tory Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne.....despite the fact he didn't have ANY previous journalistic experience whatsoever). Anyways, turns out that the National Institute of Economic and Social Research state that a Corbyn led govt WOULD boost the UK economy more than Boris led govt. However, the article cautions that the State would grow and the deficit would grow along with it.
I don't know about you but after 10 years of austerity which has seen poverty, homelessness, and the use of food banks absolutely skyrocket, along with the stagnation of wages, the rise of zero hour contracts, as well as our much beloved NHS being run into the ground......I'm ready for the State to start doing some of the basics like providing good homes, schools and hospitals, and not running everything down so that the free market idea of the "invisible hand" will sort everything by appealing to need to make a profit out of everything.
